What say you to a KAHR CW9 or CW40?
Either will do the job nicely.. The Kahrs are extremely dependable. Ensure you have two spare mags for the firearm and obtain a belt-mag pouch to keep 'em handy.. Then practice, practice, practice... They carry well, being light and slim, and should do the job if the SHTF...

Pants on = gun on.
Pants not on = gun within reach.
Fairly simple, really.

Probably easier to just make shopping a neighborhood endeavor and take your friends. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.earclops.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/tombstone.jpg) Then tell the local hoods, "I see gang colors, I kill the man wearing it...."

H&K P7M8. If you look around, you can uncover one. IMHO, one of the best CCW ever made. Get a Kramer paddle holster for it, and you will be set. If you are not familiar with the P7M8, do a little research on it.

I've had my Kahr CW40 for a while and it is easy to carry and 100% reliable. I never had a failure of any type in the 200 round break in period recommended by Kahr. I would choose the 9mm version if that round is better suited for your wife to shoot. Any Kahr would be a good choice.

i carry a full sized 1911 all the time. it works for me, but i am a big dude. its not that hard for me to conceal it, and the weight doesnt bother me. no doubt in the .45 ACP to kill what i shoot either. living in the same town as Marty.... I DON'T carry a weapon with me...I do it for my OWN Safety.. My problem is, with the level of scum running around on the streets of our nation where ever you go, I'm sorry but I would be too tempted to use it.... and in Oregon here, criminals have more civic rights to than a law abiding citizen have... if someone broke into my home and had my wife with a knife to her throat, if I shot and killed him... under STUPID Oregon laws, I would be guilty of murder at most, or manslaughter at a minimum. It is illegal to kill someone in your home in Oregon, regardless of what they are attempting to do to your family involving bodily harm. and I have to admit.. If I had to pull a firearm and use it against some low life, I wouldn't quit shooting until the magazine was empty. They'd have a hole in their head, their throat, their genitals and a few choice spots in between. That is what the liberal left has turned this country into. Criminals have more civil rights than they ever extend to their victims, or the state laws extend to the victims.. and all to often, the Courts are on the catch and release program for these criminals.. Gawd, you're an idiot! ... and the horse you rode in on... Personal choice Tonto...personal choice.. wasn't advocating anyone else following that route...

I handeled one on Friday night from a LEO family friend who carries it back up. Needless to say I want one. ML
My biggest fear is when I die my wife sells all my gear for what I said I paid for it.

Fairly simple, really. Exactly. Whatever you choose: shoot it enough to hit with it , all the time. Read any self defense or police report on stopping power or gun choice. It always boils down to acuracy. A hit with a .22 is always better than a miss with a .45 Hit where it counts, as often as possible.

What say you to a KAHR CW9 or CW40? I bought a CW9 to replace a Walther PPK/s that belonged to my dad, that weighed like an anvil. Dimensionally both pieces are similar ...... Also the Kahr is a 9mm and not a .380. Your thread has helped remind me of some things and even reshape some conclusions.

I'm tired of hiding my carry.
Ohio is an open carry state, and I am getting behind the open carry folks.
We carried open all the time before PC times.
Let's get back to those days.

In some ways I agree with you but it would be rather interesting to open carry around my town. There there is a huge population of the super liberal and most are from the artistic community. I was in a restaurant a while back wit several friends. There was some mention of a gun and the waitress said the all guns were evil and she was glad to live where there weren't and guns around. As I looked around the table I had to smile inside as I knew for sure there were two concealed handguns at that table and I was not carrying. Then there were tow of three tables where others spoke up and said pretty much the same thing. Carry in open in this environment would just give the uneducated fearful heart attacks. They are better off living in their ignorance as most have views that cannot be changed. This type of person forms opinions on their personal feelings and will not allow facts to enter into their views. It would be easier to educate a ceder stump than the artistic far left feelings mentality. I am to old and too tired to waste my energy. So I will keep open carry for my hikes in the mountains and keep my secrets for town. What they don't know might save a life someday.

A G23 and a spare mag should get you out of any trouble your dumb azz allowed you to get into in the first place. That should get you from one end of Laramie to the other in the middle of a melt down with no sweat. He might get accosted by a college babe.... I got that covered.... lollipops and Trojans.

I don't see anything wrong wiyh the p63 it's 9x18 isn't it?
I just picked up a FIC Mod D it's only 380 but is locked breech,
and I'm familer with the 1911 so I can shoot it a little better
than the Dao Kel-tecs or LCPs. The PA63 will get the job done!
