What Is The Best Concealed Carry Gun On A Budget?

When it comes to your life possibly being on the line, don't go with some cheap POS that may misfire. Lower end budget guns I would put some trust in would be kel tec and bersa.

I prefer a revolver to semi-auto. I already have semi-autos.

I want to eliminate the possibility of a jam.

Ruger .38 with a Crimson laser grip.
LCR

.357 is good choice.

If you want something small and economical, try a .357 derringer. If you need more than 2, your screw anyway.

a cheap revolver is MUCH more likely to jam then a cheap semi. You can get a ruger p series, a taurus 24/7, or a sigma in your price range....nothing beautiful but will go bang every time compared to a cheap wheel gun.

How about a can of hornet spray. Accurate up to 30 feet. blind the bastard long enough to get away.

Not bad [link to www.centerfiresystems.com]
Better [link to www.centerfiresystems.com]

The biggest gun you feel comfortable with that you can afford. Period.

Makaovs and Tokarevs are cheap, reliable and plentiful and have a long track record.

you fags and your autos, the OP wants a wheel gun, a wise choice based on facts not ego.

For U bro

I carry a XDM 9mm it comes with everything you need including a Mag holder and holster. I bought an extra mag so with 19 in the mag, one in the barrel and the two extra mags I always have 58 rounds. So before anyone starts to say anything about a 9mm being too small I think that the 58 rounds will more than compensate so that. Knowing that the person that lived with the most bullet wounds in the world was shot 19 times. So 58 should take out (Read protect) anyone.

Here is mine [link to www.topgunsupply.com]

Both lol To each there own

Ooops I posted a 40 cal and not my 9mm Sorry they look the same

CZ-82 in 9MM Mak...$219.00 from Aim Surplus....sweet little pistol.

I think wheel guns are charming like horse drawn carriages vs Automobiles but ask me which one will get me to work on time.

Seriously, revolvers worth having are an expensive anachronism, Heavy, Low Capacity, Slow Reloading, Thick under concealment clothing and inferior to a modern, reliable automatic in every way but aesthetics.

I would only hand a revolver to someone I thought was too primitive to figure out how to rack a slide and load a magazine.Anyone else should get an automatic and lear how to use it.

I would go with a potato or pen gun....that is a shoe string budget gun........

just realistic, unlike you who cares about image and bragging rights over function and reliability.

cuz you need to carry 60 rounds on you at all times. plenty of average citizens are involved in SUSTAINED FIRE FIGHTS. you and steven segal.

I would go with a Charter Arms Tracker bulldog, the one with adjustable sights. Although if you are a guy of average build with some weight to you, should be able to conceal a 1911 or N frame Smith just fine. Massad Ayoob wrote about concealing a 4" 629 in a Sparks Summer Special holster with just a vest or out shirtail. A 4" .44mag is way more versatile than the special, if you handload....

Really ought to handload...

That was about an ignorant comment. I like wheel guns too, but the fact is you dont want a cheap one. You dont have to worry about timing, or cylinder bore alignment on a cheap semi. If you want a wheel gun fine, I have several, but they arent the place to skimp on money.

I have a multitude of both, thank you....do they not allow the children to play with semi autos where you are? I hear some socialist states are like that.
Depending on what mood I'm in, I'll grab whichever.

Also lots of 1911 clones used in that price range, Rock Island Arsenal/Norinco/etc. Hard to go wrong with the 1911 45 acp...Anyone who says otherwise is full of shit. 1911 is one of the best, most reliable pistols, ever designed...period! and the 45Acp round is outstanding for personal defense.

jane you ignorant slut...........the OP made a thread about revolvers and every fucking mall ninja has to come in and start screaming auto! auto! so cool to have an auto!

For autos the makarov,for wheelguns the rossi .357 is a great value.Now dont bite my head off wolverine.I have been involved in testing firearms for many years.Some of like autoloaders.

thats sound advice, i like both too, i just hate the autos only mall ninjas.

.380

I have had at least 50 wheelguns,they have there place + uber reliability.My carry gun & the most reliable handgun i have ever owned is a Glock 21 (.45).My second favorite is my Colt .357 wheelgun.
Ahhhhh good times GUN TALK.

The Son of Sam murders were carried out with the charter arms .44 bulldogs.

Sorry off topic.


I like the j frame S&W airlight .38 built in laser and will fire +p's.


light deadly and concealable. A real nice weapon.


JHP in +p delivers.
