I like all types of handguns, from cap 'n ball revolvers to double stack 9mms, but for a ccw I prefer a 1911.

The Sirens call of the 1911 always draws me back, but I will occasionally forray into the Glock 17 and 26 for carry.
Short of SAA revolvers I don't much stray from 1911s and Glocks

I say one of Colonel Colt's new revolving belt pistols, called the Colt's Cobra, in a shop the other day. It was handsome!

Beautiful, Bob! You never comment when I compliment you though!
Well, I must apologize for the lapse in my manners!
Thank you very much for kind words.

Anything less than 12 ounces that fits in my pocket and reliably goes bang when i pull the trigger.
Carrying a gun in or on my hip for 30 years with the likelihood of never having to use it just isn't for me. I used to do it but not anymore. If I lived in a rough area or I worked in law enforcement, I would be all about it, but since I don't.......

My friends knew my choices in long guns more than handguns. I had my CZ PCR, but my rifles and shotguns tended to be old and ugly, but never have a single failure.
One used to say that if the AK makers designed a handgun I could conceal, that would be it.

I carry the same pistol everyday whether I'm on duty or not. Muscle memory is a good thing when the situation goes south.

There's something about a full size 357mag revolver that seems to "suit" me. I enjoy shooting them at the range, like the way they handle and even cleaning them. They're what I shoot for fun but too big for me to comfortably carry. My Shield 9mm "suits" me for CC but is more of a tool to me. I do enjoy shooting it to hone my skills but I don't find myself pulling it out and wiping it down (even when it doesn't need it) and admiring the look and feel of it.
I have two snubbie S&Ws, and prefer to carry the .38 Spl, 642 with Pachmayr grips in a pocket holster. It's very light and is practically invisible in most front pants pockets. When walking around the woods or the country road by the house, I slip it into my jeans back pocket and don't mind if the grip shows a bit. It's got a smooth action and fine D/A trigger, letting me squeeze off an accurate shot on a rabbit, if so inclined.

My favorite is some version of a 1911, but I mostly carry a J-Frame snub .38.

I'm a hi-power man. The platform has been my favorite ever since I first shot my dads C series when I was just a young brat. I still have the C, but the one I carry is an honestly weathered '92 vintage mkIII.

I’m a pocket carry guy, and it’s always one of three .380s nestled in my jeans. It’s either a RM380, Smith Bodyguard or Colt Mustang.

I carry either a 3" DA 44 special or a 45 LC 4.625" SA, plus a NAA 22mag Black Widow. All I have are 22 or 44 up. I like big holes.

These are the handguns that suit me. I have now much time shooting each one, and each, while different, fit my hand well and point naturally. They are all a joy to shoot, save for the very stout loads in the Super and .41 Magnum Blackhawks. Then, though, it is still FUN.

This Beretta 87,
.22LR is the one I often carry when going down the woods road behind the house. It's very light and quite accurate. When I come back home I usually have fewer rounds then when I left. It's a fun gun to shoot, even without hearing protection.
