Semi-auto. Diamondback DB9, 9mm. Smallest 9mm semi-auto made. Easy for me to pocket carry. Also, because its not very expensive, I don't care about scratches, dings, etc. Yet, even after carrying it, it still looks fairly new.

For me, its all about what I can easily carry. FWIW, I don't even like carrying a cell phone or a wallet. So, some big, chunky piece of metal in a rig ain't going to cut it for me.

I’m getting my CCW next month. Planning on packing my S&W 29 with 8 3/8” barrel.
Still looking for a good ankle holster.

Revolver in a pancake holster, with a PPK in my pocket in case I need a reload.

I am 76 years old. EDC is Colt Agent .38 Special in El Paso Pocket Max.

When active duty was in air wing rather than grunt, so was issued a S&W .38 revolver.
.
Only time I carried an M1911 in service was when I was OD or when escorting prisoners.

Today I only carry revolvers.

Sig P365X in the “man bag”, and/or LCP Max in my pocket.
Am looking at carrying the Sig in an IWB holster whenever I lose enogh weight around my gut.
My car gun for road trips is a Ruger SP101 .357 along with two speed loaders…

S&W 38, either a Model 640, or a Model 10, 2in.

Currently i only carry semi auto. For a long while i carried a revolver, a s&w 642 daily.

For me it was the rise of the micro 9 pistols. Before you had slim-ish 9mm with low capacity, 5 to7 rounds, imho not worth it for just 2 rounds. Or chunky ones like the glock 26 that were just too blocky and did not offer enough grip space. Once the micro 9mm came out, holding 10-12rnds flush fit, with the same height and length, but skinnier because of no cylinder, well i had too, same size 100% more capacity.

I did have a gp100 a while back, shot it several times but i never carried it a single time.

i too carry both....however my go out the door 90% of the time is my tauras 445 ultra lite 44 special...shoots good with 200 grn hollow points..light weight and i can stick it in my coat pocket and never know it is there...it resides by the back door in its holster and i pick it up on the way out.....mostly when me and the dog are out in the field or on the tracktor...in the summer time the redhawk 44 gets the tractor duty in a chest rig.....but if im goin to town...lol...i might just strap on a 45 commander or a 45 compact xd....just never know....lol....but you can bet i always have a treat im me pocket

Semi-auto the majority of the time. Revolver when I'm limited to pocket carry. Woods and fields revolver exclusively.
