What pistol do you edc?

Sneakerh3ad · August 31, 2018, 03:25 PM

just wondering what pistol you guys carry for edc whether its for ccw or open carry. I carry a shield in the warmer days due to printing issues and a glock 17 or 21 in the colder days wearing a jacket. I don't see the point in carrying around $1200 pistol, Imagine losing a gun let alone a gun thats valued over a grand.

Ruger Lc9s if warm, or P229 if cold.

TheGunGeek · August 31, 2018, 04:41 PM

Beretta 85FS. It's always warm here, and the 85 is accurate, reliable, conceals well, and is a high quality pistol.

RETG · August 31, 2018, 05:22 PM

H&K P30SK locally, all weather; Beretta PX4 .40 Full size when hiking, camping, etc.

Eazyeach · August 31, 2018, 05:41 PM

Shield 9mm. Or M&P 2.0 compact 9mm depending on attire. Sometimes I’ll drop an LCR 38 special into my pocket(sticky holster) if I’m in a hurry.

KyJim · August 31, 2018, 05:42 PM

Over the years, I have carried different guns. It depends on weather, dress, etc. Most recently, I've mostly been carrying a semi-auto in the pocket, either a Kahr CM9 or Sig P238. I plan on switching over soon to a Ruger LCR 9mm soon for pocket carry.

When the weather cools, I'll go back to carrying a SW Shield, M&P Compact, or a Dan Wesson CCO-sized 1911 in .45 in a belt holster.

I EDC a Glock model 43. If I'm walking or driving out of town
I add a Glock model 20 and a put 12g or AK in my truck.

Ben Dover · August 31, 2018, 06:31 PM

SIG P226

Ingramite · August 31, 2018, 07:10 PM

Polish Radom P-64
Browning BDA 380
S&W 60-9

Not all at once though

I do a semi physical job so I need deep cover. IE bending etc will let a shirt rid up over a belt riding gun. So I carry a kahr cm9 in my pants pocket. Works well for the last several years, albeit a tad slow to deploy.

pkevinb · September 1, 2018, 07:22 AM

S&W Shield 9mm or Ruger EC9S dependent on what I am wearing.

rickyrick · September 1, 2018, 08:34 AM

Beretta 92fs

mgulino · September 1, 2018, 09:16 AM

Springfield XD-9.

JERRYS. · September 1, 2018, 09:51 AM

G17, unless I need more concealment then its a G26.

RickB · September 1, 2018, 09:59 AM

For many years, a Detonics Combat Master .45, but for the last 18 months, a SIG P938 9mm.
The latter holds an additional round and is half the size and weight.

sundog · September 1, 2018, 11:44 AM

Beretta 8045.

It varies. For the last month or so, I've gone back to my first snubby, a steel Taurus 605. Shoots straight, never a problem with it.

stangbangr · September 1, 2018, 07:18 PM

A boring ole G19 on my appendix.

Number10GI · September 1, 2018, 07:27 PM

Shield 9mm
DB9
Kimber Micro 9 that I just bought a few weeks ago that will probably replace the Shield.

CeltKnight · September 1, 2018, 08:46 PM

The one I have on me more than any other (and usually riding as backup) is a Kahr CW380.

From there it's a swap out between the Walther P99, Beretta 84, 3" S&W 629, and Radom p64.

I carry others but those are the ones that get the most carry time.

NAW · September 1, 2018, 09:14 PM

Browning hi power mark 3, beretta 21A bobcat.

cslinger · September 1, 2018, 10:28 PM

HK P2000 9mm or .40S&W

Arizona Fusilier · September 1, 2018, 11:18 PM

Lately...Sig P220 or S&W Shield 9mm.
I go through phases....

CDW4ME · September 2, 2018, 06:27 AM
