Thanks Doc, I was hoping you'd find my thread as I value your advice. What pistol do carry that uses 45LC? - One of those Thunders that also shoots .410?

Thanks for the links DB. HK is a tad above my price range and I've had a tommy gun before. Cuts compensator, 200 round drum and all. Fun gun but too expensive to shoot and too heavy to carry

That's exactly what I'm asking about Jibeho. Thanks a million!

If money is a issue check out Hi-point firearms just as accurate if not more than S&W or Rugers at a fraction of the price most people will say no their not but i guarantee you they are do some research on them.

You can get a new 9mm for $170 lifetime guarantee

Yeah their a bit pricey but most people don't know the Tommy gun was spec'ed out so it can use any 1911 style mag... so you'd be free to pick whatever 1911 type pistol you like... as for going rates on new 1911's you'll find there all running close to $1,000

I have a Marlin camp carbine in 45 acp that takes 1911 mags.
They quit making this model but should be available used.

Just a heads up but they stopped making the Ruger Deerstalker (.44 mag carbine) I still have one, well two great little gun and was a sad day when Ruger dropped it from their catalog

This topic got me going and doing some Google searching.
I found a carbine in pistol caliber that seems pretty popular:
The Kel-Tec Sub 2000, can use most pistol magazines from S & W, Glock, Kel-Tec, Beretta, or Sig. The reviews seem pretty good. It increases the effective range of the pistol caliber from 50 yards for standard pistols to around 150 yards for use in the carbine.
A nice feature that really catches the eye is it's folding stock for storage and transportation.

I just have a 3" derringer in a 45 LC cal.
I have a lathe, bridgeport mill, and a surface grinder, all I did was counter bore the chamber of the bottom barrel, so it would accept 2 1/2" shot shell, or you can do like a buddy of mine does and cut a shell down to 2" and put a wax or containment material on the top so it does not spill out.

My door greeeter, is a 1/2" to legal side of short sawed off shotty, that I keep both barrels loaded differnetly, left side is $4 worth of dimes the other side is 6mm ball bearings, and yes its loaded on the HOT side.
You should hear what dimes sound like at 1100FPS....vrrrrroooozzzzooomm

The chamber(45 LC), if I remember correctly is bored around 2" deep, and is too short by factory standards to accept a shorty shot shell.
The shot shell will run into the rifling.
There is a revolver, and deringer made exactly for this application nowa days, the name of this gun escapes me, someone will tell ya, I'm sure DB knows what I'm talkin about.

As far as my carry gun goes a have a 5 1/2 Uberti 45 LC and a 7 1/2 one also "see pic in avatar" the 7 incher"I dont CC with this gun" I shoot daily and I'm good out to 100 yds and regularly hit beer cans at that range with this pistol.

There is no way I would have a Lorcin, Haskell, Raven, Davis, Hi point, or similiar auto pistols. Period.

I wouldn't lump Hi Point in with Lorcin.
1st of all, I understand Lorcin is out of business. No tears to shed there.
No one has ever said anything good about them. At least not that I ever heard.

But I have heard good things about Hi Point. The people that speak well of them are rather sheepish about it because they know the reputation of other inexpensive weapons and they know others will beat them up over liking them.
