Most often it is my FN 1906 that was made in 1913 or 1914.

Gotta tell you that I’m pretty surprised by the results so far. I was expecting Glock to be more prevalent, but I’m surprised that S&W Autos are so popular. I’m guessing it has to be the M&P line of pistols. I’m also surprised that Walther and H&K aren’t better more common. Hoping to see what things look like with more votes.

Bedside table now, Glock 19 4th Gen. When dressed into Glock factory belt slide. Properly modified. Bought the G 43X with factory installed night sights.
Even with the Shield 15 round aftermarket magazine? Still went back to the G19. With a G17 spare magazine. The many thousands of rounds spent down range, give a great deal of confidence in that pistol. A razor-sharp Benchmade folder, as a last-ditch pensil sharpener! |

I have a number of different carry handguns. In Florida, the license is not tied to the guns. Depending on time of year, weather, dress and whim, I change choices often. Today or was a Sig P290rs

Besides, most folks carry their firearms concealed beneath their clothing where the only person who will ever see them is the guy who is carrying the firearm and perhaps a criminal who most likely won't be able to admire it very much of for very long unless he manages to take it from you, and in which case, you most likely won't be able to admire it anymore. Last but not least, high dollar firearms have something of a reputation for being less-than-reliable out of the box, since they're generally built more for competition use than personal protection, ergo their tighter tolerances make them more susceptible to malfunction from getting a bit of pocket lint stuck in the grooves from EDC than your average firearm. I used to carry a Walther PPK/S, but I swapped it out for a Ruger LCP last year because while the PPK/S is obviously the nicer of the two, the LCP was just more convenient to carry. So yeah, there's really no benefit to carrying fancy firearms over just ordinary stuff, whereas there are plenty of drawbacks.

Big fan of the S&W M&P line. And the Shield is a favorite as well. I now have a Shield in 1.0 and a 2.0. Ugly little things, but utterly reliable, accurate for what they are, and easy to conceal. Plus plenty of aftermarket accessories/upgrades available everywhere. Especially when considering price point, they have to be the best bang-for-your-buck defensive handguns on the market today.

I’m a revolver fan. My edc is a Ruger LCR .38spl but if I’m in the woods just walking around, it’s between my 629 and my 617. If I could find a holster I like for my Ruger MK4, I’d carry it. Many people scoff at those that carry revolvers but the one thing they can’t deny is ammo versatility. Especially when you can go from shot, to HP’s, sub sonic cast loads all in the same cylinder. Sure it won’t have the capacity but I don’t like carrying crazy amounts of ammo anyways when I’m in the woods.

Daily carry in my neck of the woods is a S&W 3953. When I am forced to go to Baltimore, a Glock 19 is more prudent.

I will carry almost any handgun I own at some point.
3 of the most common are: CZ P07 Gen 2 HK P30 V3 Taurus G2S with some upgraded parts. I would be most upset if my HK ended up rotting in an evidence locker. I personally wouldn't carry a gun I didn't think I could replace or would cost a significant amount to replace. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk |

Charter Bulldog 44, but I've also been carrying a S&W Shield 9mm and the extra magazine if I feel like I may need more shots.

M&P 9, back up is either a Ruger LCP- or Ruger LCR 22 magnum. Once in a while it's a 1911;.

Glock 43X with a TLR-6 and 15rd mags.
Most of the advantages of a service-sized pistol but still easily concealed. |

How far Beretta has fallen.
I have about 3 or 4 that get carry time these days (including a Glock and a Sig), but a Beretta 81 from 1980 has been getting the bulk of it lately. |
