I am curious as to how long most people carry a certain gun before they decide to switch to something else. From people who change their primary carry gun every few months to those who've carried the same gun for years, what's the longest time period you have gone without changing?

What are usually your reasons for changing, or not changing?

For me it's usually 1-2 years. First I carried a Walther P99 for about a year before deciding a full size service pistol was too big. Switched to a PPS for about 2 years before it started having reliability issues. Now I'm on a HK P7.
