carry gun

[parecido]

What pistol, caliber, if any do you guys carry with you when out in the mountains?

 

[frednfrog]

Ruger Vaquero 45 Long Colt loaded with 300Grain PMC's the bullets come with a warning. Do not shoot in anything other than a Ruger or Smith & Wesson.

 

[Rem700]

I carry a Taurus ultra lite 38.special snub nose. It's cheap enough to not worry about it getting banged up. It's pretty light, small, and easy to use. But I have been thinking of getting something a little more powerful.

 

[parecido]

right now i have a taurus .357 with a 4" barrel. Great gun just a little on the heavy side

 

[luckless]

Ruger GP-100 6" .357

 

[OLBUZZTAIL]

parecido ....Taurus 357mag 4in barrel or my Smith & Wesson 9mm 15rnd clip

Hunting is Life...everything else is
Just details.
Ol' Buzztail...

 

[runninlopes8]

Ruger LPC .380 Very light

 

[hank4elk]

Taurus 24/7 9mm,only one I have.And I don;t take it hunting,it's for two legged critters,not too worried in the wild.I usually have a rifle or mz with me then.

 

[mozey]

Taurus Judge loaded with 3" 000 410s

 

[crazeymaez]

Moz, Thats the perfect round I'de want to have if I ever
ran into the CookieBandit.But that would be one hell of a feeling to reach for your hip and remember I left it in unit 17.

[nightstalker]

springfield xd .45acp, confidence to hunt all day and return to camp well past sundown, i hope i never have to use it.

 

[philthy]

Ruger P90 .45ACP "just in case". Glad I had it south of Tucson when I used to hunt over there.

 

[Gator]

.22 Mag CCI Auto or the 9 shot H&R pistol .22.

[mozey]

It's gotta be karma, crazey. The Judge may have spent a couple nights without me in unit 17, but good, clean living occasionally comes back to reward ya. At least that's how my old golfing buddy used to explain his sheer luck. The Judge continues to accompany me on all forays...

 

[12gauge]

Used to carry a taurus .357 snubby. Switched to a taurus pt92 9mm, 17 rd clip.
When the wife goes fishing she takes her taurus pt111 9mm, 12 rd clip.

 

[outdoorsdude]

Taurus 444; 30oz. ported, 2.5 in, .44 mag.

 

[parecido]

outdoorsdude - thats the next gun i'm thinking about buying. How's the recoil on it with the short barrel? The 44 mag i have now has an 8 1/2 in barrel, it's not well suited to carrying on my hip! hahaha

 

[windstalker]

Taurus 38. sp

 

[NMHUNTNUTTG]

single action .22 Long rifle, handed down from my 97 year old grandpa who I lost this past March.Have carried this gun for about 18 years now...

 

[EVILNR]

Glock 27 - .40S&W

 

[nm_alazan]

Taurus 425 Tracker 4" BBL .44 mag w/ 305 gr Buff Bore ammo, or S&W .357 mag 6.5" BBL w/ 180 gr Buff Bore ammo. Prefer the tracker though, smaller and lighter.

 

[sportsman01]

Ruger P345 .45ACP. Love the pistol, but it is a bit on the heavy side.

 

[cosmic_cowboy]

KAHR CW9 9mm. Lite and works well.Put nite sights on and they are very cool in dark conditions.

 

[nmelktrout]

Glock Model 19 in 9mm. Super lightweight, weatherproof and fits in anything. Reliable little gun.

Btw, I'm not streaking through any of ya'lls camps this season with as much firepower as I'm seeing above...

[chops24]

also a glock 19, carry in and out of the hills. fits me like a glove and i have even used it to kill a charging ferrol hog down near brantley.

 

[outdoorsdude]

Parecido, you would love it. Very easy to carry, even saddled.

Shooting it will get all of your attention! The ports really help with muzzle flip! But I was told by its original owner "never fire this thing without hearing protection!!"

The thing that amazes me the most is how truly accurate it is. Have shot water jugs at 50yds with it. But mostly it spits .44specials during practice time.

 

[lchcguide]

Glock 31. .357 sig
I carry this gun all the time. At least anywhere I can legally carry it.

 

[JFBNORTHERNHUNTER]

I always carry my Springfield XDM in a 40 cal.... i also carry a Super Blackhawk 357mag when hunting the big cats.

 

[IChaseCoues]

A Kahr PM40 is my daily choice, but in the hills I'll either a 1911 or a Glock 32. The Taurus Judge has been catching my attention though lately.

 

[parecido]

the s&w governor has caught my attention lately. There's a gun show this weekend in ABQ, gonna go check it out and see what those babies are going for

 

[NMboltripper]

Ruger Alaskan 44 mag!!

--just picked one up yesterday at Sportsmans. I think they have 1 left!!

I know way OVERKILL...but then again who knows...

 

[runninlopes8]

NMBoltripper,

Think I was there when you bought yours, went home wanting one

 

[NMboltripper]

runninlopes8,

Go get it!!

These guns are pretty rare. The gun guy at Sportsmans said they only make the Alaskan 454 one day out of the year.

The 44 mag is plenty of gun for me...or anyone.

 

[parecido]

NMBoltripper - What did you pay for it? if you don't mind me asking

 

[NMboltripper]

$839.00

No real bargain, but as I said, pretty hard to get. So it's a good deal in my eyes.

 

[parecido]

Thats not too bad of a price
