I have a CCP in Ohio and support Open Carry. I was Army Infantry so I've shot a variety of weapons up to 50 cal. auto.

I own a Smith & Wesson snub nose 38, aka 'dectective special'.
I have had it for many years, basically for protection. I do have a permit to own the weapon, but not to carry. If I want to take it to the range for practice, it must be in a case in the trunk of my car, unloaded.

HK (also H&K) is short for Heckler and Koch, which is pronounced "Heckler" (like someone heckling a comedian) and "Coke" (although you have to say coke like you're a drunk German...the "ke" drags off the back of the tongue...most Americans just say "Coke").
For small, go with the Kel Tek pocket 32 or pocket 380...Either one of them will absolutely WRECK someone's day and they're both about the size of a man's wallet. See my first post for a pic of the .32 for size reference
Terra that 32 is a nice size. What does the clip hold 7, maybe 9? I did look at a 380 Taurus I think it was, the next day it was recalled because someone it Calif. dropped theirs and it went off. Maybe it was a Ruger, can't remember. The young guy that deals here in my little town is very pro Ruger for some reason. My 9mm has a 14 round clip and it's just to damn big and bulky for me to be carrying on a daily basis. Once I'm at my store I have a cubby hole right under the till that I put it in. Thanks for the Heckler info. That thing sure is fun, spendy to shoot though.
Well, I'm only 22, so I haven't had much time to start a personal arsenal of my own, and getting a CCP in New Jersey is more than a little cumbersome (read: next to impossible).
I get off fine shooting my father's two .45 M1911s, one Gold Cup and one Springfield Armory Operator. He also owns two bolt action .22s (one Anschutz one Remington), a Semi-auto Remington Nylon 66 (.22 and a HELL of a lot of fun to shoot) and a Colt Trooper .22 revolver (another wicked fun plinking gun).
Buying a gun alone is a back-breaker in NJ. And now that the great Governor Corzine has the bill rationing handgun sales to one a month on his desk, it's only going to get harder...

I have a few. Newest is a FBI 100th anniversary Glock 22. I did sell my favorite though. It was worth too much to keep around. I do not have a CCP due to the fact that they hold you more responsible in court. I also live is a fairly safe area where most people would not need to carry a weapon. The pics are of the Colt I sold.

Yeah, the p32 is a 7+1 single-stack mag.
They're not great at anything and will get you killed in a prolonged firefight but if it's a choice between going down like a victim and going down like a scrapper, I'll take scrapper any day...
It's a close range, surprise factor kind of weapon...perfect for catching someone off guard and putting metal to meat, buying you enough time for making a quick getaway or clearing a class 3 malfunction...Think of it as a backup, not a primary (that's what I carry mine as, anyway, until I can find something better which isn't likely to happen).
I had an H&K MP5 clone:

Traded it....
The .380 that was recalled was the Ruger LCP:

Ruger made it right with all customers. The problem is, .380 ammo is the most scarce right now. Some have the gun with no ammo.
I must say you guys (and gals) have some outstanding weapons. I have experience with many from my military past, but alas due to our outright firearms ban here in the UK only the bad guys are left to carry guns, mad hey !! Must feel so cool (& safe) walking down the street legally strapped lol !
Well, I can tell you this - There are certain parts of town I feel VERY uncomfortable in if I'm not packing and only slightly more comfortable when I AM packing.
It is a good feeling knowing that it's not just the crims that have guns here, though. When I'm walking through the mall I can feel easier knowing that if some idiot starts dumping on civvies, I can take care of business instead of just waiting to become a blurb in the papers.
Beyond all that, though, I enjoy firing my weapon. It relaxes me when I get "in the zone" on the range. Very enjoyable, indeed.

Same here. It's very much like meditation - but instead of focusing on your navel, it's the front sight ;-) or if you're using a laser - the dot.
same old story,,,especially here,,'just ban it' seems to be the easy answer for everything, it never is though ! The PV will go the same way no doubt,,at least you have the 3rd imendment (hope thats correct),anyway,, wont hijack your thread any longer, i did read the disclaimer about people getting on soap boxes etc lol,,Peace !
2nd amendment (The right to keep and bear arms)
As for the soap box, I don't mind people supporting gun ownership and use, what I don't want it for the anti-gun crusaders to start in with how violent gun owners are and gun deaths this and robberies that etc...
I've fought that war so many times, it's just old now. If anyone does start it, though, I'll just search another forum and copy/paste...I can win the debate without typing a word

The UK is a joke,, if a person broke into my home while myself, wife and kids were asleep and i assualted him in an attempt to apprehend him,,i would be arrested, charged and thrown in a cell !! What sort of justice is that,,the human rights act and the UK joining the european union has a lot to answer for !! you guys dont know how lucky you are !!
I dont know how to post pictures, so I'll just tell you what I have:
- Ruger P-95 DC, 9mm.
- Davis .380 (its junk!)
- EAA Witness 40cal.
and two shotguns for good measure
-My best,

Yep thats the one (380) KentC. Thanks for keeping the story straight. They did tell me about the ammo situation, he suggested reloading. Most of the 9mm I use to 'plink' around with are reloads that my bro does for me.
Hello I've watched alot of your reviews Terraphon......have been basing liquid purchases off of your reviews. You have not steared me wrong yet...Thanks for all of your video help/advise and reviews.
Anyway...I own a Beretta CX4 Storm in 40 S&W, a 92FS Centurion compact, and my wife has a Taurus Millenium PT140 (40S&W). I will get some pics up as soon as I get home from work.

Almost forgot my wife and I both are Indiana "life time" permit holders. In Indiana you can OC or CC. I have never OC'd but it is nice to have that option
Glad I could help, bro. It's good to know that I've done right by people.
Here in Arizona, they're actually talking about getting rid of concealed carry restrictions and making it legal for anyone who is allowed to carry a gun to carry it concealed without a permit. Personally, I think that's a good idea...There are some folks out there who are good people but can't get a CCP for silly reasons (Like...they punched a kid in the face when they were 13) which means they have to advertise the fact that they're carrying. Dumb.
Hopefully the new law will pass. It seems to have the support of the citizens defense league and Joe Arpaio so...we'll see.
