What do you carry and why?

[Guest ColdEspresso]

I carry a Beretta 92FS. I also have a G19 but that has gone to my wife and she won't give it back. Now that I have my HCP, I can go shopping for a summer gun. I am leaning toward a Colt Mustang. If anyone wants to sell theirs, PM me.

I just added a Bersa CC 380/ I am still looking for a Mustang or Colt snubbie. (and my wife still has my G19).

[Guest Lucky]

G19. Reliable, durable, no silly buttons or switches.

[Guest theolog]

Ditto on the Glock 19. Not the most pretty, comfortable or impressive, but it is in my mind and experience the best all-around weapon out there (duty or CCW, durability, weight, capacity, ammo price, etc.).

[Guest HunterH]

effective next week, I will be carrying a Springfield XD .40sc. What an amazing and versital gun. I will likely alternate between the XD and my G27 using each gun about 3-4 months at a time as I don't like to switch guns often so my draw stroke and feel, etc. are the same everyday.

I also hope to aquire a XD 45 compact and Glock 23 in the coming months once I sell a few of of my other toys.

686 2" because my Browning 9mm failed me when I needed it most years ago.

Wheel guns don't jam . . . if you can't get the job done in 6, you will be dead anyway

[HillbillyMafia]

1911 Style double stack, big meaty grip for my big meaty hand

12 rounds of 230grn of SJRNL, or 185 gtn SXT, good stopping powerin the 45

[pops572]

My carry changes with the seasons. Winter and fall Glock 19, spring and summer Kahr PM9, and the breath taking skin blistering 100+ degree days get the KT P3AT ( and what I carry when I can't carry). These are occasionally mixed with H&K P7M8 and an M&P 9c. And rarely a S&W 642, when I am feeling nostalgic.

[Guest bob-e]

I carry my wallet.

Why? So I can buy guns

[Punisher84]

Kimber Stainless Pro Carry II with Meprolight night sights and slightly tweaked with Wilson Combat parts. Back-up is a Kel-Tec P3AT .380

I like the Kimber because it's a 1911 and while I am not an elitist, the 1911 is the sexiest, best shooting gun ever made for me. The Kel-Tec, well it's teeny-tiny!

[Guest Major Pain]

I carry a Smith 642 and always feel nostalgic and a NAA pug as a bug.

[Guest Darbley77]

I have 2 that get rotated.

1.) The main is Glock 36 in a CTAC. I know a lot of people say- why have a 45 that will only hold 6+1. I say---if you can place your shots than 7 is plenty.

2.) XD SC 9mm in a Galco M7X.

The why is---I'm a great shot with both and I would rather have my gun with me and never use it than not have it and need it. Sometimes the world can be a scary place.

1911............................over 90 years and still going STRONG!

[Metalhead]

Kel-tec 380 in the summer;

Glock 19 in the winter when I can comfortably conceal it heavier clothing.

[mrming]

keltec p-11 for summer and general purpose..

Sig 220 / eaa witness when I need something bigger.

I can always manage the p-11. The other two I'm better with, but don't always hide well.

[edellson]

Ruger SR9. Full size, yet slim 17 shot. This is the easiest fullsize carry I have ever owned.

[Guest Chisum]

What: Sig P239 SAS 9mm in a Galco Summer Comfort holster (have an M11 on order from Brigade Gun Leather - looking forward to trying that out)

Why: She's a beaut! It's a Sig! Light-ish...very accurate. I like the DAK trigger system for concealed carry...

[Guest jwp]

Coal Creek Armory "Invictus" 1911 in a Gary Brommeland Max-Con V IWB holster.

But....... today I'm carrying an FN Hi-Power in a Galco Royal Guard because I felt like mixing it up after a couple of years.

[Guest Major Pain]

S&W 642, IWB Stoner holster, and NAA 22 as bug.---MP

[TGO David]

Anymore...

Glock 19 in Comp-Tac MTAC IWB holster. Spare mag on weak side in Comp-Tac mag pouch. Sometimes add my S&W #442 j-frame in as a backup gun on my weak side in front pants pocket.

Seldom, but occasionally, carry just the j-frame in my pants pocket. Depends on the circumstances.

Damn Kano...your two carry pieces are as much as half my "collection" ;-D

[Guest sling]

God forbid he ever actually has to use one of them and the PD takes it away and shoves it into an evidence locker for some undetermined amount of time.

I've been carrying my Glock 19 more and more lately. I find that it doesnt scrape my skin all to hell like the stippling on the USP does.

[Guest Hunter]

STI Trojan or my Escort. BUG is a XDm 45.

[Guest meadowmb]

kel-tec .380

because is small and light easy to carry everywhere
