Excellent Antique, Vintage, and Modern Concealed Carry Pieces That Deserve Attention

By

There are a wealth of reliable, effective, and elegant handguns out there that can prove a trustworthy choice as a concealable carrypistol. There is no denying that newer models like the HK P30L and Walther PPQ are beautifully designed handguns and an admirable carry option, concealed or not. But when there are firearms from several decades, or even over a century ago, that still rate as top-notch carry options, they are worth considering.

HK P30L


Antique Concealed Carry

1903/1907 Colt Pocket Hammerless

1903/1907 Colt Pocket Hammerless pistols were trusted by personages as disparate as John Dillinger, who ended his days with one in his pocket, and Gen. George S. Patton. This slim, reliable art deco beauty retains Browning’s genius designlegacy and remains a legend for good reason.

Remington 51

Speaking of Gen. George S. Patton and history’s most ingenious gun engineers named John, Patton favored the Remington 51, the masterpiece designed by John Pederson, as a personal carry sidearm. Many consider the innovative Remington 51 to be the most ergonomic, intuitive pistol ever designed. There is no question that this “self-aiming” piece is simply a joy to shoot.

Runners Up:

· Beretta M1935

· FN 1910

· Walther PP/PPK

· Webley &Scott Snub Nose Revolver in 455 Webley or 45 ACP

Vintage Concealed Carry

Sig Sauer P230/232

No doubt, part of the reason the Sig Sauer P230/232 retains such a fervent cult following after over four decades is its appearance. Innovative and eminently concealable, itis simply a slick, handsome gun, like a Walther PPK designed in a wind tunnel. It does not hurt that it is also a tough, reliable, and accurate pistol.

Colt Officer’s ACP

For all of the disciples of the Colt 1911, the introduction of concealable pistols in the 1911 platform was like a collective sigh of relief. While there are many options, the purists will settle for nothing less than the Colt Officer’s Model/Colt Officer’s ACP as their carry.

Runners Up:

· CZ 85

· Glock 26

· Colt Detective Special

· H&K P7K3

Modern Concealed Carry

Kahr PM9

For concealed carry pragmatists, it simply does not get any better than the Kahr PM9. The Kahr PM9 somehow manages to be an ultra-tough little powerhouse while weighing in at just around 20 ounces, even when loaded. And that is despite being constructed from the highest-quality materials and components.

Ruger SR9

The Ruger SR9 makes the list for bringing the exceptional level of quality, accuracy, and reliability we have all come to expect from Ruger, with some additional innovation. Namely, the Ruger SR9 is a double-stack wonder-nine featuring a magazine delivering 17+1 capacityhoused in a grip that maxes out at a little over an inch thick. What more can you ask for?

Runners Up:

· Glock 45

· Sig Sauer P365

· Wilson Combat EDC X9

· Ruger 327 Magnum LCR

It’s the rare fan of firearms who doesn’t appreciate having at least one conversation piece in their collection. That can be a family heirloom, a homemade build, or a favorite shooter.

Whether you are going hunting with your Beretta A300 Outlander or taking a highly specialized AR 15 to an out-of-state competition, flying with a firearm might seem complex if you have never done it before. However, there are ways you can streamline the process to make it as simple as possible. This means you will not have to arrive at the airport too much earlier than you would for a typical flight. Here are five tips you should know about packing and declaring your firearm for your next flight. Use the Right Kind of Lock First, you will need the right kind of lock. Do not use any standard, TSA-approved lock to keep your firearms safe. Instead, use a heavy-duty lock on your case. Always keep a key on your person, but do not bring extra copies in your checked luggage. Otherwise, if you use a TSA-approved lock or have copies of the key, it is entirely possible that your gun case could be empty when you grab it off the carousel at your destination.
