I carry a Kahr CW9, or a Taurus PT111SSP MilPro.
because those are the most versatile, and reliable for me in 99.9% of situations I choose to carry.
I love a good 1911.. but they dont apply to how I carry&conceal, for my budget anyway...
besides, I pracitce like a mother', and 9mm is easier on my pocket, and I can handle 12 successive shots of 9mm better than .45.
If I was to carry without concern of followup shot. Id carry a 1911...
but thats just me..
find out what works for you!
