Vehicle (car) gun

[michael_aos]

OK, I'll come clean and admit my current "car gun" is a S&W 357 PD.

Just a joy to carry and plenty of power.

But its hard to control, and frankly too expensive to be relegated to car-duty.



I've got a S&W Model 629 Mountain Gun (.44 Mag) that's just gorgeous and a real joy to shoot with .44 Specials, but again I hate to make it my car-gun.



I'm kinda thinking something CHEAP, that I wouldn't have any heartache about losing.

Any thoughts on the Springfield XD? 9mm? .40 S&W?

I'd go 40 Super & Wicked over the 9mm.

(time was you wouldn't get me saying anything other than .45...now I have a .40 (Beretta 96G) that I use for 3 gun)

I've got a Springfield Mil-Spec .38 Super I bought on clearance at Specialty Sports & Supply for $399 a few years ago.

It'd actually make a pretty good "car gun", except that they're awfully hard to find these days (can't be replaced) and I actually do use it on occasion for IDPA (ESP).

I do have a Springfield "loaded" stainless in .40 S&W. I shot Limited-10 with it for a couple years before I bought an STI for Limited (IPSC).

It probably wouldn't be a bad choice. I've never actually tried shooting anything other than major-PF FMJ's, loaded-long through it though.

As I sit here thinking about it, it occurs to me that my CZ75B might be a good choice.

It was my first 9mm (after I discovered how expensive .45 ACP was to shoot) but now it sits mostly unused.

Not too expensive. Easy to replace.

I carry my S&W 340PD on my hip and my S&W 38 Airweight is now in the car safe. I can have it as my backup when needed on my ankle, or in the carsafe. That way I use the same ammo and same speedloaders too. Karl.

Not the airlight ones just the regular 85.

Night sights would be a nice touch too...
