What type of handgun do you carry most?

[cookekdjr]

What type of handgun do you carry most? Although I have other larger weapons, I carry a S&W j-frame more than any other handgun. So, regardless of how many 1911's or Desert Eagled that you own, what do you carry most often? Choose only one. Looking forward to your responses.
Thanks,
David

Whoops, this thing got away from me without the poll; let's try again....sorry...please look for the version with the poll before posting. Thanks

[Vern Humphrey]

It depends on what I'm carrying for. It the woods, more and more I carry the Holy Grail, my Colt Woodsman made in 1938. For defense, I carry my Kimber Classic, or sometimes drop my Colt Detective Special in my pocket.

[P97]

Ruger P97.

[glockman19]

S&w 642 & 442

[wally]

Trick question? One that's loaded. :)

Kahr PM40 ~70%, S&W SC360, ~15% Kel-Tec P3AT ~10%, Kimber Ultra Carry ~5%. I go with the biggest I can conceal with the way I'm dressed.

Colt Gold Cup Trophy

[neoncowboy]

1911

[usmccpl]

Split between my redhawk for the woods and the P95 for the streets.

[Glockman17366]

A .38 Snubby, Taurus model 85.
I just put it (in a Mikas Holster) in my pocket and go...
This isn't my preferred weapon, but is the one that goes with me most frequently.

[Mad Magyar]

Kind of like what Vern mentioned; depends on the occasion/attire...Lately, with leisurely clothes: the PPK in a .380 is getting most of my attention...

[TimboKhan]

For Concealed carry, I most often carry my Taurus 605 revolver in .357. On occasion I have carried other of my handguns, but it's pretty rare. I bought the 605 specifically to be my CCW gun, and thus it is what I carry 99.5% of the time. To supplement this gun, my next gun purchase will be a Kel-Tec in .380. There are times when a smaller pocket gun just fills the bill for me better than any other choice.

In the woods, it depends. Most often I carry my Ruger MkII, but when I am deep in the woods, I switch to my Ruger P90 in .45. As of two weekends ago, I will now be carrying my new S&W 66-1 in .357. The only other gun I carry into the woods with any regularity other than the above mentioned is, again, my 605.

I love my MkII's, and have no plans to get rid of either one of them, but I happen to have a H&R Sportsman 999 that I flat out love, at least when it is working. I need to get it to a gunsmith to get it fixed once and for all, but once it's good, it may replace my MkII's as my "carry" .22. I have also contemplated picking up a single-six to take into the woods. I enjoy shooting autos, but the revolver is, IMHO, the more rugged choice. If nothing else, there aren't as many places for crap to go if I happen to fall into the river!

[Zeke Menuar]

Most often: XD45 Service

Next: Bersa Thunder 380

[jeepmor]

PT145 Taurus, I like its small stature and 10+1 capacity.

Have a holster coming for the S&W CS40. Will probably carry it long enough to break the holster in real well.

Then I'll ring my hands as to which one I like best. I really dig the hogue style grip on the 40, but the 7+1 magazine has me practicing at the range feeling a little under capacitied (is that a word) because I'm so used to squeezing off 11 rounds. Really dig the DA/SA trigger though and the decocker safety.

[Jkwas]

Taurus 605. Pocket carry or OWB. When I can, I carry a Taurus 9mm Milpro.
You can't beat a snub for all-around ccw. It's very versatile.

[GroovedG19]

Glock model 17.

[BoneDigger]

1st: Smith 686
2nd: Smith 642

Todd

[Brian Williams]

642

[ar10]

SAXD40 SW 4" IWB 90% of the time. SAXD 45 GAP tactical OWB on occasion but it spends most of the time in a bedside drawer.

[trueg50]

In the woods (only time I carry) S&W model 28 in 357

[DMK]

S&w 642

[Thaddeus Jones]

S&W 3913. Slim, light weight, accurate and reliable.

[scurtis_34471]

I used to carry my Bersa .380 CC 90% of the time. Then I got a decent belt and holster for my XD-40 Service. Now I carry the XD 60-70% of the time. I do think I will be getting an XD-40 Subcompact for IWB though. The grip on the Service tends to dig my ribs when I sit in an IWB.

[Coyote3855]

Keltec 3AT (almost 24/7 including when I'm also carrying...
Springfield XD .45 Service (fishing, woods walking, etc.)
Kahr P9 (office, around town)
Ruger Mark 1 Standard (on the ranch)

[arctictom]

colt anaconda 4" -44mag

[Rexster]

SP101, all year, every day, no "rotation." I may be wearing a SIG duty pistol at work, but the SP101 is on me, too. I may be carrying a 4" .357 sixgun, but the SP101 is still with me. I sometimes carry more than one SP101.

[DAdams]

642 85% of the time. Or BERSA BT 380 in a busniess style Swiss Gear Wenger Backpack.

As soon as the new M&P 340 is broken in the pocket carry will go it instead of the 642.

[GotGlock]

Sig P220 Carry for most days, Kahr PM9 gets beach duty.

[shadowalker]

Sig P229 40 S&W with 2 spare magazines

[S&Wfan]

The little, lightweight-framed Kimber Ultra CDP in .45ACP on the left. Lotta gun, little size and weight!

http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/Groups/246/246167/folders/233364/20707202X.45acp.jpg

As a matter of fact, it's still in my front pocket after getting back inside a few minutes ago from walking the dog before turning in for the evening.

[3rdpig]

For me it's probably an equal split between a Glock 26, which is my off work gun, and a S&W model 38 Bodyguard, which is my at work gun.

[TOADMAN]

S&W 642 or Glock 26.

[tegemu]

Mostly a 3" 1911 and alternate with a Bobtailed Lightweight Commander 1911.

[Hotdog386]

I carry only in the outdoors and almost always a revolver. I find the S&W M15/M67 about ideal but occasionally carry a Taurus M460 45 Colt or if I'm feeling really lazy a S&W M60 or M642.

[Glock22]

Since Wisconsin has no concealed carry I cannot carry outside my property but every night when I get home from work I put on my Glock 22.

[ab4ka]

Taurus PT145

[mlandman]

What type of handgun do you carry most?
A pistol with bullets in it. ;)

Currently PM9 until I have the night sights mounted on my M&P9c. The gunsmith broke his mounting tool pressing the front sight :what: and ruptured the glass cylinder. He is waiting for a Trijicon to send a replacement.

[FMJMIKE]

99.9% of the time I carry my G-19............:D

What type of handgun do you carry most?

A pistol with bullets in it.

It'll work better if you also have cartridge cases, powder and primers to go with those bullets.:D

[mlandman]

It'll work better if you also have cartridge cases, powder and primers to go with those bullets. :D Darn! I was wondering why they were SO hard to get to stay in the mag! ;) :cool:

[Vern Humphrey]

I bet the muzzle velocity was low, too.:p

[BobMcG]

Over the last seven years or so one of my compact .40 S&W pistols goes with me.

[Texas Colt]

Compact 1911 - either a Colt Lightweight Officers or Commander.

[ok41]

[vanilla_gorilla]

Springfield Armory 1911 of some flavor or another, almost every day. On the rare day it's not a 1911, it's an N frame S&W.

[GCW5]

Concealed carry, Colt 1911. Bear country, S&W 629 (3" barrel).

[6_gunner]

A Baby Browning goes with me everywhere. (Except not today because the @#*$ magazine broke) It fits in the change pocket of my Wranglers perfectly. When the weather allows me to wear an appropriate cover garment or when I'm open carrying, I go with a long action S&W Military and Police revolver with a 6" barrel.

[Kevin108]

Usually a Glock 26 though I've recently been flirting once again with carrying my G17 and occasionally my 1911.

[ACORN]

Kel Tec P3AT goes with me everywhere, church and all. I can't see how the Lord can object to me helping to protect his house and flock.

[koja48]

Either a 1911 or a 1911 . . .

[Vern Humphrey]

Either a 1911 or a 1911 . . .
Although a 1911A1 would be an acceptable substitute.

[orionengnr]

Kahr PM9, 8-9 months of the year (we call it Summer).

Kahr P45 or Kimber Ultra Carry the remainder (we call it Winter Lite).

[KINGMAX]

I have two primary carries, GLOCK 21 in .45 acp, and a Smith&Wesson 686-1 in .357.

[koja48]

You know me too well, Vern . . . actually, both are 1911A1s . . .

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w305/koja48/P1000303.jpg

and on occasion, the "little guy" if I want two . . . or three . . .

[Vern Humphrey]

Nice guns -- is that a Randall with them?

Lemesee -- I have a Fed Ord "Kit Gun." They sent me a bag full of parts and a couple of hunks of steel and told me to file away everything that didn't look like a frame or a slide. I have a Ciener .22 Conversion kit mounted on that one

Then I have a Model 1927 Argentine -- great gun, a 1930s-era Colt made like Colt used to make them. Currently I have a Colt Service Ace conversion kit mounted on it -- the one with the (in)famous floating chamber.

And I carry a Kimber Classic

[koja48]

Nope; but it is a mighty fine, Damascus-steel, razor-sharp blade handcrafted by a gentleman I had the good fortune to hire into a pipefitter position 20-some-odd years ago. He is immensely talented, developed an interest in knife-making, and a few months ago (I hadn't worked with him in years), stopped by to present me with this piece . . . it IS lovely!

Day to day carry 90% of the time it's a compact Glock 29 10mm with 180-gr Gold Dots.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y141/nitesite9/442andG29.jpg

Other 10% its that little 442 in the foreground with my handloaded 158-gr SWCs.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y141/nitesite9/442-with-SWC-handloads-web.jpg

Woods walking it's either a 4" 686 or 4" Model 28 with my handloads of 168-gr hard cast Keith style semi-wadcutters. Awesome power and penetration.

Yeah, I like heavy bullets. That's why I also switch out for an XD-45 Service with 230-gr Gold Dots every now and then.
