Ok...what would you do...

[Skip]

You would like a new CCW, something more compact than I have now, in 40 or 45.

OR

I really want to get my first AR style rifle. And would have to keep adding to that account...lol

Decisions Decisions

Build an AR.

After all, I've got a lot of parts I could sell you...

 

[chubbyzook]

the ar would be fun the ccw would be useful
so pick from there

 

[txinvestigator]

Pfft. get both.

 

[MadMo44Mag]

Send me the money and after a 90 day test period I'll tell ya what you bought!

lol
I have two guns for CCW, I would just like the option of something smaller, and still 40 or 45. BUT...I got no AR...

 

[Skip]

Pfft. get both.

You, my friend....are an enabler!!!!!

 

[30+GSXR]

yeah, yeah huh huh huh, get both


I got both, but I started with the CCW first.

 

[sig556]

Get the AR started. The nice thing is you can pick up parts here and there when you have the money. Before you know it you will have the AR you always wanted.

Ya don't wanna know how many ah've got fer CCW....OR how many AR's!

 

[Hawghauler]

I'm not good at moderation so I vote with get both.

 

[texas_teacher]

I would ask the first question of what caliber to you currently carry for CCW... You specified you wanted a new 40 or 45... if you carry a .357 or a 40 I would say go for the AR... If not then I'd say you'd probably have more use for the CCW than the AR at this point in time...

Please note I'm not saying these are the only two acceptable calibers for CCW (obviously because I carry .380)... But if you're looking at 40 or 45 and you have something comparable already then go for the AR...

Get the AR, I was in the same boat. Guy at the gun shop said " If you already have a pistol get you a rifle or shot gun" makes sense to have atleast one of each so i went with the AK

evil.... if you look through other threads you will find a clue...

 

[TxEMTP69]

what do you carry now?


and get both

 

[Skip]

Right now I carry a S&W mod 457 (.45), or my XDm40, so I have been wanting to get something a little smaller. BUT...the call of the AR is freaking killen' me...

 

[TexasRedneck]

On a serious note....you *need* a pocket pistol. There's simply too many times in Texas where you simply can't carry a full-sized/compact - up to you, but for myself, it was the way I went years back when I first got serious about CCW.

 

[texas_teacher]

Get a KelTec and it won't set you back too far from your goal of an AR...

 

[81aggie]

The Kahr P or PM series are small and are nice guns but can be a bit pricey, not sure what you're looking to spend. KelTec makes a small 9mm if that caliber is an option.

If you think you need a pocket gun, there's the Ruger LCP, KelTec P3AT or P32. I just bought a P32 last weekend (since .380 ammo is so hard to find) and carry it in an Uncle George's Wallet Holster. Very comfortable, don't even notice that I have it after a while and it makes carrying easy when wearing shorts and a T-shirt. The pistol and holster together cost me about $300 total so shouldn't put too big a dent in the funds toward the AR.
