Favorite BUG Caliber

[cosermann]

A few polls/threads have been posted over the years on favorite carry calibers. I'd like to restrict this one to only backup gun (BUG) calibers.

If you ever carry a BUG, please vote for your preferred BUG caliber.

This poll also allows more than 1 selection for those of you who carry more than one BUG in different calibers.

If you don't carry a BUG, don't vote. We're voting on calibers of carried BUGs in this poll.

Some of the prior caliber threads:

Hey, there's on of my polls in there I thought about doing this same thing, and I'm pretty curious as to what the results will be. As for me, I currently don't carry a BUG but am looking to change that soon.

My backup is in 380, nice little round. But am thinking about getting a subcompact 9mm due to 380 ammo being so high in cost.

Keltec's P11 with 12 shoots and it is said to be one of the smallest 9mm out there today. It has been flawless for me. +1,800 rounds and it just wants more!!! I carry it in a nice Galco ankle rig that fits and feels so good. Thanks Keltec for my P11, it's my BUG......

.380 ruger LCP for me.

Thanks to everyone who voted so far. Keep 'em coming. I'm testing a theory here.

taurus tcp .380 for now. i use a inside the pants holster on the top of my cowboy boots carry it inside of the right hand side of my right boot.....if that makes any sence, i have also carried j frame smith 38spcl in the same location, it has a lot more knock down power but is a little bulkier.

i would like to find a 9mm the size of the tcp. have also thought about a lcr .38spcl

I like the .40 glock27. It will use the mags for my glock22.

When I carry a BUG it is my keltec .380, but sometimes it also serves as my main carry. Really wish I would have gotten a pocket 9mm instead though because of ammo price and to stay with the same caliber as my normal carry gun.

 

[Cowboy 44]

the price of .380 is 90% of the reason i said tcp.....for now. i cant see paying as much or more for .380 as i would for .45's

 

[WestSider]

Recently switched from .380 to .38

 

[Vince49]

Commonality.

.40 S&W, same as my other brother .40 S&W.

 

[JohnP82]

.38 spl or .32acp for me

 

[jamstutz]

My BUG is a .38 Spl LCR, but my BUBUG is a .22 Mag Pug.

 

[45-70]

Ruger SP101 2-1/4" .357 mag

 

[cosermann]

Just a bump on this for a few more votes.

 

[rustygunner]

Kel-Tec PF-9. Works fine, but I am looking to replace it with something a little more... attractive. Kahr PM9 or maybe the new M&P Shield if I can find one, don't know yet.

 

[WC Deer Hunter]

Just traded the P3at for a Keltec PF9.

 

[inlineman]

My backup is a sweet little 327mag.
