Favorite CCW Caliber?

[krichardson]

I've always preferred carrying my hammerless 4-barrel C.O.P. .357 as a CCW choice.

Wow,someone else who actually has one.

I don't think I've ever seen one of those offered for sale before but then again I'm not a huge handgun guy so one may have been overlooked.

Thanks hbluehunter, I really like it and out of my 6-7 handguns I can shoot this one the best (well it's tied with my S&W Model 28 .357 Mag.)


For you soviet enthusiast, check out how much they have M57 Tokarevs going for. I'm really tempted to order one.

from my understanding the recoil is about a .45 maybe a bit more. it is very potent. was developed for FBI use. IMHO it is one of the best auto loading cartridges.


the FBI developedthe 40 because their agents couldn't handle the 10mm, 40s are a 10mm withe a shorter cartridge.

Check out the fnx-40, every bit as good as HK but aroun$600 versus $1000
luv the 7.62x25 round. very powerful. has AP potential not that for CC that is really needed but you never know.

7.62x38?? need to read up on that. that has to be potent. edit not as potent as i would have though but still a good round

i know they developed the 40 because the girls couldnt handle the 10mm. which is why 10>40. lol.

10mm are expensive to shoot unless u reload but it is a great caliber.

This pistol was manufactured by COP Inc. which went out of business back in the 70s. I was impressed by the pistol and, over the years, acquired 3 working pistols (Had one modified for improved trigger pull mechanics). One remains unfired in its original presentation case (collector item). Also have several non-functioning parts pistols.

It's one of the first guns I ever bought years ago.I saw it in the pawn shop and had to have it...One shot with each pull of the trigger.There is a hinge on the bottom of the barrel,push the release,flip up the barrel,remove spent shells and reload.

It's called a "break-front" pistol.

only if it shot all four bullets with one trigger squeeze. that would be super odiot
