Note how the majority are impacting the target as keyholes while tumbling. The 2 and 1/2" barrel doesn't stabilize them very well. Oh well, call it enhanced stopping power for the 22 LR round. Will try some 32 gr Stingers and 29 gr Federal Punch next time.

Good shooting’ and nice group for 5yds with the itty bitty barrel!

I have a Springfield 911 that is about the same size and type. I like it.

Good looking shooter!

Life is too short to have an ugly gun

I seldom carry OWB… but this Canik is ready to go when I am…

A little Canik TP9 elite subcompact 9mm 12+1 with Romeo zero dot sight

Very nice Boji. I looked them up and they are discontinued. Sure looks like a fine firearm.
Is that the 9MM? Shows they made a .380 as well. Not adverse to a .380 myself.

Nice looking firearm Jim. Where I live, people open carry in Walmart and no one bats an eye.
I have CCW and sometimes open carry in the desert. 95% of the time I carry concealed even in the outdoors because of the "bug dust", as we call it. We have some sand dunes scattered about but mostly fine, powder silt that seems to be attracted to gun metal.

Mine is the .380, doubt I would have bought it but came thru my pawnshop. One of the local firearms instructor shot it at the range, said it was the best “mouse” gun he had ever shot.

Thanks Boji. Sweet piece. A .380 is a good caliber in my opinion. Will do the job if need be. I don't carry my .38 Colt Diamondbacks for show even if they are a good looking revolver. Hope I never have to call on them.

I love the mini 1911s personally.

Seems to fit here, maybe not but here it is. Guy had a rear window sticker that said...

"Evil only exists when good men do nothing"

Not really a vehicle sticker guy but that is going on my Raptor.

A mouse would probably work on rats.

I have never open carried… I have always carry concealed. Just has been my preference.

By OWB I meant outside waistband vs IWB inside waistband.

I always have a shirt or jacket covering

Got it Jim.

OWB concealed for me as well 95% of the time. I have an IWB Mernickle leather holster (personally I only do leather holsters but respect others choices) I will carry at times. No reason why, because I can I guess. Made for my full size SIG P220s.
Driving IWB with that full size almost 3 pound hunk of metal tends to grind the hip bone a bit. It provides very little concealment gain for comfort trade off in my personal view. Always say, comfort is my last concern when carrying. Just how I do it.

Some .45s I enjoy shooting. A bit of a poor picture… taken from an angle so it distorted the perspective of the size of the three guns.

Glock 21
Dan Wesson A2
S&W M&P M2.0

Picked up a used Ruger MarkIV 22/45 .22lr yesterday at the gun show and put a dot sight on it

It’s a nice addition to the other autoloader .22s I shoot often

Ruger SR22
KelTec P17
Colt 1911-22
Taurus TX-22 Competition
KelTec PMR30 (.22wmr)

Jim, you have a very impressive collection. Can you choose one as your favorite?

Maybe one of these …. The DA .22 revolvers

S&W Model 317 8-shot 3”
Taurus Model 990 9-shot 4”

Excellent. I like my semi-autos but I love my revolvers. Yours look very fine.

Here’s the single actions I have

Uberti 5.5” 1873 .45colt
Cimarron 7.5” Frontier .357
Heritage Rough Rider 6.5” .22lr/.22wmr

Jim how do ya like the Roughrider?
I'm torn between it and a Wrangler for my Grandson.

For me, the Cimarron is a show-stopper.

I have 2 Wranglers, one a 4 and 5/8 inch std model, and one a 3 and 5/8 inch Birdshead as well as one Roughrider Barkeep. The Wranglers are better made in my opinion and the Roughriders have that goofy safety. Wranglers are now made with 6 and 1/2 and 7 and 1/2 inch barrels too. Rough riders can be had in 22/22WMR with adjustable sights. You pays your money based on what features you want. Both are quality made in USA with a good warranty.

I’ve also had a Wrangler… can’t say as I had a strong preference between the two.

I kept the Roughrider because it has the cylinder to shoot .22wmr… which I do occasionally.

Thanx oldcutler and Jim
I may have to buy both I do have a bunch of Grandies

I got the new Ruger MKIV a few months back and recently put this TruGlo red/green dot sight on it. I have over the years owned all the Rugers, MKI, MKII, MKIII, and now the MKIV, which is the best yet. The combo red/green dot sight is also the best yet. I always had trouble seeing the red dot outside in bright sunlight, but the green dot is much easier to see under those conditions. These sights are just like backup cameras on cars now, how did we ever get along without them in the past? The sights look a little clunky, but this type of gun is never carried in a holster anyway (at least I don't.)

Very interesting rig, OC. First I've heard of the green/red combined.

Great shooter too. Doing ammo tests now to find the best one.
