What is your EDC handgun

peacefulgary · August 29, 2020, 10:33 AM

If not EDC, what handgun do you carry most of the time?

I carry either my Glock 43 or my Ruger LCP.

O4L · August 29, 2020, 11:11 AM

S&W 640. If not that then I carry a Shield 9.

Nanuk · August 29, 2020, 12:22 PM

Glock 31C.

Forte S+W · August 29, 2020, 12:31 PM

I carry two guns, a Smith & Wesson Sigma SW40VE and a Ruger LCP as backup.

**Spats McGee** · August 29, 2020, 01:13 PM

Shield 9. If I can get my Shield 45 past its feeding problems, I'll switch to that.

CDW4ME · August 29, 2020, 01:53 PM

Most carried is a close tie between Glock 23 or 35, if not then a Glock 20SF.

sparkyv · August 29, 2020, 01:57 PM

I've gone through a handful of CCW. SIG P365 is hard to beat.

dyl · August 29, 2020, 03:39 PM

Kahr CM9 most of the time. If need something lighter, M&P340 (revolver) w/ crimson trace. Rarely in the winter, S&W M&P40c / 9c.

Kel-tec P32 in a Sticky SM2 pocket holster.
Unless I need more, then it's a S&W SD9 iwb 4:00.

Kevin Rohrer · August 29, 2020, 07:32 PM

That list was very pedestrian, as in nothing high-end listed.

Wilson Combat 1911

Nighthawk 1911

Les Baer 1911

Alchemy Custom Weaponry 1911

Browning High Power

Gunsite customs 1911

Go big or stay home.

shinerjohn · August 29, 2020, 07:47 PM

S&W 642

Kahr CW9 when riding my motorcycle

Picked 3, to reflect the 3 different guns I've been going back and forth on the "last couple-three-r-four" years. Taurus 605, S&W 642, and (currently) XDS 9.

All three come in about the same weight and physical size. Much larger and heavier, and I find it really inconvenient to actually carry it consistently. And I do actually carry at all times when I'm not in a legal GFZ.

I went to the XDS again, when the current societal weirdness started ramping up. Figured I wanted a little more capacity on my person, and 7+1 then a mag swap beats 5 then fumble. Yes, I know the stats say it is wildly unlikely I'd ever need to reload in a social encounter where the use of a gun is appropriate.

Rangerrich99 · August 29, 2020, 08:22 PM

S&W Shield9 1.0

S&W M&P9C 2.0

S&W M&P40C 2.0

Still carry a 1911 now and again because they're faster, more comfortable to conceal and I just like them, but for about two years now the three above have been my EDCs. Not all at the same time, of course.

Cheapshooter · August 29, 2020, 08:45 PM

Ruger LCP 1st gen always, every day.
Sig P320 Carry often, but not always.

EIGHTYDUECE · August 29, 2020, 08:45 PM

Most of the time I carry my Bulgarian Makarov in either a Tucker & Byrd OWB pancake holster or a Milt Sparks Summer Special 2 IWB.

Gary Gill · August 29, 2020, 08:53 PM

Primary is Glock 17 MOS and S&W 637 secondary

reteach · August 29, 2020, 09:43 PM

My EDC is a Ruger LCRX .327 Fed Mag, loaded with .32 H&R Mag.

USVI · August 30, 2020, 12:20 AM

Summer, Walther PPS M1 9mm. Winter, HK P2000 V1 9mm. Both have the paddle release that is ambidextrous friendly.

Webleymkv · August 30, 2020, 02:27 AM

In normal times (and probably again if normalcy ever returns) it's a S&W 442 .38 Special. During the late unpleasantness, however I find myself carrying my S&W M&P Shield .40 most often.

Cowboyfromhell · August 30, 2020, 07:55 AM

Hk p2000sk for past 3 yrs now...HK all the way baby

peacefulgary · August 30, 2020, 08:44 AM

No.1 is S&W auto at 28.95%.

No.2 is Glock at 23.68%.

No.3 is a tie with S&W revolver and Ruger auto each at 21.05%.

unclenunzie · August 30, 2020, 08:51 AM

G48 + S15 mag, most of the time.
Sometimes a Taurus 856 or other small frame 38.
