If you keep a handgun in your vehicle (as opposed to carrying on your person), what is your choice of weapon? Why? What is it loaded with? Why?

Thanks, RS

Startlingly similar to this, save only reloaded PRVI brass.

The perfect gun, a 686+ seven shots of pure death-ray. It has a 3 inch barrel, fits right in the pocket of the door to my left. It is handy for grouse out the window as a secondary use...

Springfield .40 XDM 5.25" with three 16rnd magazines. It's my main pistol I wear when outdoors, but it resides in the truck when not being worn. Fairly light and very easy to hit with. Probably the softest-shooting .40 I've ever fired. I also like a semi-auto for automobile duty, as I leave the chamber empty when it's in the console. Kids can't rack a slide.

I keep a magazine of 180gr XTP ammo in it, with a spare close by, and the third magazine is just flat-point plinker stuff in case I don't want to burn my good ammo.

Well, my truck gun had been a scoped Ruger RAR Compact .22 Magnum rifle. But, now it is a Ruger 22/45 with a Burris Fastfire III and backup irons, carried in a soft case with a few magazines. I also keep a big box of .22 LR bulk pack and hearing protection in the truck, so I am ready to go to the range whenever I feel like it.

When we travel I keep my Shield to wear but also have a full size pistol of some sort with a light in the car. First aid kit has a spare mag for the full size pistol.

Yeah, I usually wear an Airweight S&W on my person, but like for there to also be another handgun in my vehicles.

Whatever is on my belt or in my pocket, I don't leave guns in my vehicles.

This but with a 2.5 inch barrel and golden sabers. I like the sense of reliability a revolver gives me. Also for bad critters, 2-legged and 4.

There you go posting that one again - cost me $729 last time you did that. Then more $ for brass and bullet molds, and a big dent gone from my supply of WW alloy... grin

either a Marlin .30-.30 or a .45/70


never know when you need to jump outa the truck to go investigate something you see in the woods.


the woods were made to carry a rifle

don't keep handguns in the car unless Momma's along and we have one of her handguns, G29 these days, used to be a 629


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
