It's Official, WI Passed Conceal & Carry

[Volusianator]

So, with that in mind, what's a good conceal & carry first choice? Never had one to conceal and honestly never really looked at them. What do you use & like and of course why.

Thanks in advance for your input.

IMHO go with what you shoot best with. If you ever have to use your gun you should be very familiar with it and shoot very good with it.

Otherwise everyone will say Glocks, XD's, H&K's ...1911's....you'll hear just about every gun manufactured.


With that said, For me 1911.

if you have friends who shoot, go see if you can go to the range and try what they have and see what you like. I'm a HUGE fan of the 1911 but shooting a lot of .45 will burn up your cigar budget. I also like glock and m&p but what I like you may hate. See if any local ranges rent guns to try.

the most important part of your rig, for keeping it concealed, will be the holster. check out http://atomicdogholsters.com/ and http://invictuskydex.com/ i use invictus and i know atomic dog and have seen/used his gear at the range. both are wonderful holsters.

now I'm going to bow out before this turns into a fluster cluck

Glock 27 for me

Congratulations!

Concealed carry is one of the best things you can do for yourself. In the future I would never move to a state that didn't give me the option to carry.

I am carrying a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 38. They are easy to slip in your front pants pocket with a Desantis Nemesis holster and it looks like a wallet.

Check out Springfield Armory's XDm line. I have the 9 and love it.

Sawed off bazooka.

For those times when you REALLY want to make that first shot count.

Something all "Testosterone-y," that you could engrave with tattoo-ey looking Packers logos and flames and sh!t. You know... So you can stand out in a crowd and be individual, just like all your friends!





Edit... Lots of chrome, or nickel too.... That's the flashy way to be.

My EDC is either a Smith & Wesson Body Guard 380 in a Desantis Super Fly holster (warm weather) or a Glock 19 in a Desantis Facilitator (cold weather).
What ever you chose, please remember practice, practice, practice and more practice along with threat level training will make you better prepared to handle a bad situation, or better yet, avoid getting into a bad situation.

S&W M&P Compact

[elderboy02]

About a week ago, one of the users of the OhioCCWFourms.org site that I am a part of had to shoot someone. The surveillance video is also there. Please view it and read the comments as there is a lot to be learned. Also, a forum admin for a Wisconsin CCW site posted there, so you might be able to get a good link to a forum you might want to take a look at Wade. http://ohioccwforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=53502

Congrats on getting your carry permit

[SNKBYT]

for me, SOB holsters with either my SP101 357 or my Raptor 45......congrats on being able to CCW.....like stated above, do your homework and carry what you're comfortable with

[Volusianator]

I understand and agree with trying several first. However just by looks of what I think will fit my minds eye, I've been looking hard at the CZ 2075 Rami. I know there's a lot of CZ guys out there and just as many that don't care for them, but I've shot a few and really liked them, just never the one I listed above. Unfortunately we don't have any ranges around here that have guns to rent or such, so I'm gonna have to find another resource to hold one first.

Elections have consequences!

[Volusianator]

Well that took the bounce out of my bungee. I just called Gander Mtn to get information on the ccw class, and was informed that the bill wasn't signed into law yet. The state senate has signed and approved the bill, but Gov. Walker who stated during his election campaign that he'd sign the bill, has not yet done so. Additional information was given that during Gov. Doyle's administration, Senator Walker voted AGAINST the bill every time. So, this may NOT get signed into law in WI after all. Damnit.
