I try to stick with one, but it is always good to have a backup. All of mine are full-size 1911s.

Kahr P380, Crossbreed.
Glock 23, Crossbreed.
Another Glock 23 w/Surefire, Bravo.
Glock 34, KT or Ravens.
Glock 41, KT.

What I carry depends on how I am dressed.
Casual,shirt untucked, S&W model 69. 2.75”
Casual, with jacket, 4” revolver or 1911
Dressy, shirt tucked, model 60 in front pocket
I carry and train with all of them enough to be comfortable with them.

I carried a revolver for 50 years, and my wife carried one for over 40... Aging and present day circumstances called for some changes. We both went to Kahrs with more capacity, faster reloads, revolver like trigger pull, and no safeties.

If anything I need MORE guns to put into my carry rotation. For awhile I only had one carry gun and it had worn a hole through my jeans right above my back pocket.

Although I have more than a few I could carry, I pretty much stick to a Glock 27. I have two of them.

Maybe, maybe not.
Frankly it's your business, not mine. So long as you're paying your bills, etc, why do I care about what handgun you carry on any particular day?

I carry only one pistol, an HK VP9.
I see no reason to deviate from this pistol at this time since it gives the best blend of size, accuracy, reliability, and shootability of any pistol I own.
I’ve taken formal training using this pistol (Pat McNamara class), and did well with it. No issues chugging through 500 rounds or so on training day 1 in an old mica mine with weird moon dust getting in everything.
I like to shoot, and find that this pistol is displacing all my other semiauto pistols at the range too.
A Wilson Combat EDC X9 might displace the VP9, but I doubt I’ll spend the coin on one. Tempted though.

Why would the poll close when the topic is still new and fresh? Give it a month or two, bare minimum...
Anyhow, the answer is two for EDC. Both in 9x19 (CZ 85 and M&P Shield).
And since I sold my 10mm Witness Hunter, I now have only one for the bear woods: Ruger Redhawk 4.2" in .45 Colt.

This type of thinking is totally foreign to me. I'm not saying that it's wrong, I'm just saying that it's not something that I would even consider. It might be because I've spent my entire adult life in jobs where my uniform and the weapon (if any) I carried was dictated to me but I don't think my mind would even go there.
Apart from their use as self defense weapons I have almost zero interest in guns. I don't get any particular thrill from shooting various guns or from shooting one gun over another and I can't say that I have any attachment to any gun.
The enjoyment I get out of shooting comes from watching my performance improve as I'm able to train and practice (2 different things) more. The last time I was able to participate in a training class I was much more excited that I was getting smaller groups at longer distances and getting through the courses of fire with fewer missteps than I was that I was carrying a Glock.
I always have a Kahr CM9 in the pocket. Sometimes I carry an additional pistol. Usually one of three, all carried cocked-n-locked. All have safeties that are unlocked in the same throw direction. They all have proven reliable. Just depends on my mood. I shoot five days a week so they all stay fresh in my mind and hand.
One of the more inane statements I’ve read with respect to concealed carry.
First it’s a pistol not a purse. I don’t need it to be cool, pretty or impressive to others. It’s not a fashion accessory or a toy. It’s a tool. It’s not for my entertsinent it’s for my protection.
Second having the same or different gun doesn’t have any correlation to complacency. I don’t need a different pistol to motivate me to carry. It certainly doesn’t have any bearing on my situational awareness, mindset, skill set, etc.
Lastly, I’d suggest developing new or better skills with what you have if you are growing “bored” not buying another gun. But that’s just me.
Bob, What length is your carry Ruger? How do you carry it? Open/Concealed? Location?

I pretty much stick with 2. Rare occasion I carry a snubby.
Regarding the comments for and against multiple EDC; I'm not sure I buy into the EDC for a person that's not in law enforcement, security, etc... For citizens that carry, it seems like we do different things that might require a different tool for the job. If I was going to a play or concert, I might want something as small as possible, a walk in upper Maine or Vermont when bears are in mating season or the birthing season, something bigger. I'm a rookie, and not carrying yet, but my interest is along the lines of being competent with any platform, so I am not making decisions based on what I picked for the "One" solution. I do like Bob's solution of carrying a Ruger 45 for everything though 
My suspicion is being good at el-presidente or IPDA will have little to do with most real world situations, if immediate response is required. What might matter most is how the stress is managed in the first few seconds. People respond to stress very differently and for an individual, quite often, the response is different than they think it will be (it's a unique and terrifying life altering event). In this vein, I don't think the firearm matters so much as long as the owner is proficient with it. Keep in mind most events last 2 to 3 rounds.
As an oddballl example, some athletes are great in practice, and know all the moves, etc... but when it's clutch time some of the most dependable, game altering players are the ones that thrive under pressure.

Pocket carry—-Kahr PM9 or possibly a J frame (less and less)
Summer IWB carry—-only a Kahr P9 (for at least 15 years)
Winter IWB carry—-currently a CZ P-07, but this one has varied a LOT over the years. Has also been a Sig P220, Glock 19, Glock 33, Glock 20 and a S&W 1086.
