What do you carry at night?

[GetYerShells]

Hello everyone. I have a couple of questions. What do you guys carry at night vs day or do you carry the same thing? I know sometimes during the day I carry my Springfield GI 1911. At night however it is strictly my Sig P226 because of the night sights. I walk my dog at night right before I go to bed so I feel better with my Sig because I get a really good sight picture. I'm just interested in your all's input. Also how does your night time carry routine vary from your day carry routine?

[ar15chase]

I usually just make sure I have a extra mag if I carry my 1911 of my PF-9 at night. I dont usually carry a spare in the daytime. If I am carrying my Sigma a never carry a spare mag, its a hi-cap

[That'll Do]

I use the same gun for day and night–a S&W M&P40 with night sights.

[kraigwy]

I dont change. I use the same revolver. 642 with CT laser sights. If its bright, I have the pistol sights, in low light I have the laser sight.

[dabigguns357]

same here,i don't change.I carry my 4046 .40 cal every where.

[mrt949]

Day or night either seecamp 32 or beretta 21a 22lr. In the front pocket always. If going in the car [email protected] [email protected] 40.:D

[mnhntr]

same same

[Hirlau]

I don't change based on time of day; I do change based on the location/environment that I may be entering.

[ammo.crafter]

High Standard .22 mag o/u in a wallet holster when walking the dog at night. Very concealable, quick two-shots. .22 mag at close range is nasty.

[PoorSoulInJersey]

when I carried, same gun as during the day: H&K USP Compact 9mm with night sights.

[Don P]

Vampire killer with a night cross that glows in the dark:eek:

[mike21603]

sure fire g2 is always with me at night. and one of my pistols of course.

[VHinch]

If I'm going to be out at night, a Streamlight TLR-2 goes on the belt, otherwise no change from daytime carry.

[The Great Mahoo]

My night-time gun is the same as my day-time gun. I am looking into night-sights, but haven't put any on as of yet...

[AZ Med18]

My day/night carry doesn't change. Area I go to might change what I carry. What I wear might change what I carry but time doesn't really make a difference.

[chris in va]

More than likely you won't be using your sights in a SD situation.

[Keltyke]

Trijicons on my Steyr S40 - day/night carry.

[madmo44mag]

I have two carry guns depending on what I am wearing that day / night
A Rossi 44 Spl snubbie and a S&W 908 compact.
In a SD situation it's point and shoot.
In a SD situation you likely don't have time to line up a shot so aim off the front blade and squeeze.

[KnightZero]

If going out at night, I just make sure to charge up my Nitesiters on my PT140, and I keep a Maglite with me. I'd love to tote my XD with the Streamlight TLR-2 hanging from the rail, but that's just a bit on the uncomfortably huge side.

[GetYerShells]

All great comments and input.

[Hard Ball]

The same weapons day or night but I add a surefire flashlight at night.

[Deet]

9mm during the day, .357 Magnum at night.

[ckd]

I don't vary because all my SD HGs have night sights and I carry a 80 or greater lumen pocket light day or night too. Inside buildings with little or no light are often more challenging than nights in general.

[doh_312]

Same thing I carry in the day. XD45 and 367. I keep a flashlight on me at all times.

[Atrain9]

[Brit]

Glock 19 Day or night, always the same gear.

Same gun, TruGlow sights, spare G17 magazine, on belt flashlight, in Glock single mag pouch. Nothing ever changes, ever.

[jpoolsmyd2]

HKp2000sk in .40 or sig p239 in 9mm

[johnwilliamson062]

Everything has night sights, I make choice based on ability to conceal and whether I want hi-cap. Day/night is irrelevant.

"More than likely you won't be using your sights in a SD situation."
I try to get at least my front sight on target while practicing. Of course if you are contact close not a worry.

[SMiller]

M&P fullsize .40 with factory night sights

[Webleymkv]

I carry the same gun, but I load it with silver bullets during the full moon:p

[orionengnr]

No change.

[Ozzieman]

I don’t swap due to being day or night but I do switch due to where I might be going. There are parts of the city that I will “load up” if I have to go there but for the most part my normal carry gun is a Glock 26 with Trijicon sights.
Its like three little lights, you line up and,,,,,

[TxPhantom]

I don't carry differently because of the time of day. But I usually never walk around outside in the dark anyway. My two usual carry guns are either my MP 9c or my S & W 442 with C.T. Laser Grips and with strip loader(s). Weather and clothing dictate which I carry at any particular time.
If you are walking in the neighborhood armed, remember to take your carry license or they will think you are the bad guy.:rolleyes:

[Stevie-Ray]

Same Kimber UCDP .45 I carry during the daytime. Unless I'm biking, then it's a change to the Glock 26 in a OWB kydex under a safety vest.
