About 80% of the time I carry a Glock 30, another 18% of the time a Kahr PM9, and about 2% of the time a full size 1911. I am seriously considering getting a Kahr P45 to carry instead of the Glock and/or the PM9 though. Not a thing wrong with the Glock, Just that the Kahr is a little thinner and may be a little easier to conceal. The PM9 is great for concealment, and I don't doubt the effectivness of my 124 gr hst's, but I prefer having a .45 if I ever really need it.

I still have to get e decent IWB for the Commander........
 
Usually I carry Glock 19 and a Glock 26. Sometimes I carry Kimber CDP 2 and a S&W 442
 
HK USP 40C or the 45CT

the CT is a new addition and just a slight hair bigger than the 40...the barrel extends beyond the bottom of the holster by 1/2 in or so...but dang it shoots straight!
 
9 times out of 10 it is my Glock 26 with 12+1 Speer Gold Dots, one spare 12 round mag one spare 19 round mag, all loaded with PMP JHP's.

The other time it is my 1911A1c. This is my IDPA gun, and when I'm going to the range I carry that. It generally runs 8+1 with 2 8 shot mags on my belt all loaded with homebrew Hornady XTP heads over handloads. (And generally about 15 loaded 8 and 7 shot mags all loaded with Semi Wad cutters :) )

The rest of the equipment on my belt is a pocket folder knife, a fixed blade belt knife and a SureFire Defender in my pocket.

My trousers make a definite CLUNK when I take them off. Going through security points is a blast.

My most common carry is a Kel-Tec P32 - it's an "always gun". Weather/clothing permitting, I will carry either a Makarov or 1911 as primary. Someday when I have a better job I'd like to get something like a Springfield EMP.
 
My most common is a S&W 442. The other 10% is either a Glock 36 or a Ruger Speed Six. Thinking about selling the Glock and carrying the revolvers full time.
 
This is what I carry the majority of the time. My old S&W M60 .38 Spl. It's just a very easy gun for me to carry, so there is really no excuse not carry it.

I'd still like to get an Airweight though, but I can never find a nice pre-lock one for sale at a reasonable price when I actually have the money to buy one. I absolutely refuse to buy any gun with a built in lock. However, if someone wants to give me a new S&W M442/642 with the lock, I'll accept it. :D
 
I carry the Kel-Tec .380 in the summer. Too hot! I had a Colt .380 Mustang several yrs. ago. I was racking the slide one night and the slide stop just plain ole fell out onto my lap. I sent it back to Colt and they fixed the problem.(free of charge) I just didn't have any faith in it after that and got rid of it.

HOW DID YOUR MUSTANG shoot.

i had one and i would do better with it if i just through the gun at the target:mad:

let a buddy try it out and it was the same for him.:cuss:

so down the road it went:D
 
Either a Colt Cobra, or an NAA Guardian .380.

I'm comfortable pocket carrying either one of them, and I sometimes ankle carry the Guardian.
 
My "life style" calls for a jacket, all the time. I feel naked without it. Carry? Either my Para P-12 (summer) or my Para P-14 in cold weather when I would have on a heavy outer coat. .45acp, "Geneva Convention" FMJ. I own "other stuff" but almost never carry that "other stuff."
 
I won't be carrying anything tomorrow.
Just my DL number on a pc of paper, key, $1 bill, 4 quarters, smokes and mini-bic lighter and that is it.

I have the wrong gun, in the wrong caliber, with the wrong ammo.
My knife is the wrong one, and I refuse to sharpen the SAK Classic, and I don't know how anyway.

I have to be in a setting where nothing is allowed and am not even going to bother to take a cane, pen or pencil.
The vehicle has nothing in it, just registration and insurance papers.

*shrug*
 
Depends on what I can get away with:

Ruger p345 .45 auto
Bersa Thunder 380 .380 auto
NAA Mini-Revolver .22 Magnum

I carry as much firepower as I can conceal with relative comfort.
