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

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.

S&W Model 66 4inch, loaded with 125 gr HPs....for bad people. 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...

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.
