I seldom pack on the street but when I do it is a 1911 .45ACP. A smaller version of the same gun I used in tactical competition.
In a showdown at high noon I would use the .38 super race gun if for no other reason than to intimidate the other guy.
I have a CCW license and carry everyday all day long. I carry either my XD45 (45acp) or a 1911 (45acp). But as far as a showdown at high noon Chas. I think that I would prefer the .44mag revolver for intimidation factor.......
For pure intimidation there is a Thompson Contender with a .223 barrel. It throws a three foot fireball - unfortunately it is a single shot...
Now you're talkin'. That is one serious muzzle flash!
If we're going just for muzzle flash, I'd take the 16" guns from the battleship New Jersey.
No matter how fast I go, there's always someone slower in front of me.

Sure hope you dont meet that Brown bear
