My CZ PCR is my favorite gun, but it is too wide & heavy for me to carry. When I carry, I use my Ruger LC9s.

I find it interesting that, as of this point in the voting anyway, more than a quarter (26.2%) most often carry some or other type of revolver.
The strong showing of striker-fired polymer pistols, more than a third (34%) I find unsurprising.

I'm kinda of surprised alloy framed DA/SA autos doing worse than SAO revolvers though...

I carry an RM380 about 80% of the time. I like it enough that I just bought another one because of the drop in price and the current Remington rebate. I carry a Kahr CM9 for a little bit more firepower when going out at night. I just bought a 45acp Shield that will be carried next winter.
Based on your choice, it doesn't seem that the cartridge was among the least important factors to you.
I suspect some are simply not voting in the poll but are posting. About 95% of the time I choose a Kahr .380. The other 5% an AR15 pistol in 5.56.
You never know if you have to face down a hormonally enraged 8 point buck out in the fall woods.

I don't like a lot of weight on my hip so most days it's a S&W Model 637 in a OWB Bianchi. Occasionally a 3" LCRx in 38 sp paired with a Mitch Rosen holster. Have a LCR in .327 FM that I would like to CC but haven't found a OWB holster that's a comfortable fit for me.

"Most often" is an LCP in a pocket holster, primarily because it is easy to conceal in hot weather.

I will admit that I do like the 10mm Auto cartridge. But I am careful about my KoolAid and I know enough to be realistic about how much of a performance advantage it really has over other service cartridges.
Most people with a little knowledge of guns are familiar enough with Glocks to know the more popular model numbers, like the 17, 19, 21, 22, ect. But the Glock 20 and its 10mm Auto cartridge are obscure enough I felt it prudent to list the cartridge with the model number, and a point of reference for ballistics for those who were unfamiliar with this cartridge. That is all.
These are my carry guns. I pick Two every day. The 442 with wood grips has the stock Uncle Mike's Boot Grips now and is always in my pocket. I pick one of the others for AIWB. Most of the time it's another 442 or the 36. Today we were hiking in the National Park so I picked the Taurus 7 shooter(bottom left) for AIWB today. Most of them are DAO.
As with many things, it depends on the circumstances. I mostly carry the lc9s, but sometimes I carry the P238 when the 9s is a bit too hard to conceal with what I am wearing. Sometimes, when I really need to conceal, I carry my LCP in a pocket holster. I also sometimes carry my LCRX, and this is what sets by my bedside most of the time, or I might carry my .45 colt, 1873 snubnose clone with birdshead grip or my .357 GP100 if out and about in the woods.

I love the looks of a SA revolver, can't hit worth a dam with them had/tried three, a Colt in 4 5/8" in .45 went to Ruger Blackhawk 4 5/8" in .357 mag next I tried a Ruger Super Blackhawk in 7 1/2 in .44 Magnum on that one I changed to the Bisley grip frame thinking it will improve, but nothing still can't hit as I would like, I won't carry a SA revolver for SD though.

I used to carry a 1911, but with concealment being a priority at work, I've downsized to a K9. Instead of switching guns before going to work, the K9 is my usual carry gun.
I had a P9 for a while, I didn't care for the grip.

Polymer framed, striker fired, auto got my vote because while I don't carry everyday, a G-19 gets carried the most. Second place goes to a 4" S&W 686 which is usually for woods carry. 20 something years ago we had some rabid raccoons running around and I crossed paths with one in broad daylight and was unarmed. I escaped O.K. but decided to not let that happen again.

100% of the time i have my NAA 22wmr in my pocket along with whatever my primary weapon is at the time. On occasion, its the only gun on me but not very often. If i have my pants on, i have this gun.
90% of the time my primary is a Glock 43 with +1 mag ext in a crossbread supertuck with a spare mag that has a +2 ext. 8 rounds in the gun with another 8 at the ready.

FNX 40 40S&W
RIA 1911 45acp

For me, its this, a Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt:

I'll disagree with you there. I want something as near to hitting a sledgehammer blow as I can get and still shoot accurately.
