I'm about as boring as can be these days. I carry a Taurus G2C in an IWB polymer holster. I thought I had sworn off polymer guns, and had never gone for polymer holsters before.
In the past I have used a Kel-Tec P-11, a pretty decent gun I thought, and a Bulgarian Makarov in 9X18. The Kel-Tec was a little snappy, and ammo was hard to find for the Mak. It too was pretty snappy but man that was a shooting gun. Plus, there was something cool about shooting/carrying a commie gun. Made me feel like Boris Badenov.

I had $300 to spend on a pistol and ended up with the Taurus GX4. It had a $50 rebate and I'd heard good things about them.
Some of them were recalled, but mine is newer than that. The sights are good and I didn't expect the trigger to be as good as it is. I've had zero malfunctions. I'm decently accurate with it. The crappy black finish totally sucks, but it's a good shooter.
The GX4 and the holster that I ended up with fit me perfectly for the IWB, 4-5 o'clock carry I use sometimes. So I do carry it occasionally.
It's not what the cool kids carry and I thought it would be more of a range toy, but it's a pretty decent little pistol.

Remington (née Rohrbaugh) RM380; a hammer-fired DAO pistol for when small size really matters.
Springfield XDE-9 - a single-stack, hammer-fired, double-action pistol with a polymer frame that can be carried decocked or cocked-and-locked.

Of the entire XD series, the XDe is the only one I liked

The only non-1911 I carry is a Tanfoglio Combat Compact
Classic all steel pistol in 9mm. I have a few of these and they are extremely accurate.

I bought a new old stock SIG P290RS years after they stopped making them and carried it for about a year but ended up getting rid of it.

My oldest son carries my old S&W 908s. The pistol is a TDA "Value Line" version of the S&W 3913.

S&W-made PPK (an early one, before they extended the rear wing) in a now-discontinued Galco "Executive" shoulder rig. But only when I'm suited up, which is almost never these days.
That is a chonker. I bought one NIB a few years ago and it's a pleasure to shoot, but I can't imagine carrying one for the limited capacity today.
Somewhere I heard the term "future brick" applied to the P series guns. My P89 is a bit stiff and awkward but shoots with regularity and the P90 is rather smooth by comparison. Much better trigger and great recoils control for a .45.
They are perhaps an unfortunate stop in the evolutionary end of Rugers DA/SA pistols.
I'm drooling over your gun. The Armalite AR24 was the same gun if I remember right. Where I live I can hardly ever find nice all steel cz clones or similar Tanfoglios/EAA.

Today I'm carrying my Bernardelli model 60 in an old Strong holster.
The model 60 is a SA 32acp hammer fired pistol I carry cocked & locked.

I carried a CZ 82 for a while in 9X18. Just a very accurate neat 12 shooter until I bought a CZ P-01. I would carry the 82 again if I had to. I actually carried a French .25 of some forgotten make until I tried to shoot it and found out it didn't work! Colt series 70 after that.

The original XDs 3.3 works for me.

Unpopular? Nah, unless that means has lots of haters. So I guess maybe?

Unpopular guns I have carried:
FEG PA-63
Czech CZ-70
Taurus PT-145
I don’t carry them anymore, but at one point they were simply what I had to work with.

Sig P232. 7+1 shot .380acp.
My first gun store, brand new purchase. I saw it on the back cover of a Guns & Ammo magazine and had to have one.
It has been all over the west with me when I used to race dirt bikes, along with regular camping and travel.
At the time, I wasn't aware the .380 round is a joke and will bounce off a bad guy's chest. I also didn't know one needs at least 15 rounds plus two additional magazines in order to feel safe.
I am lucky to be alive!

I pocket carry a Nano. The trigger doesn’t keep it from being quite accurate at 7 yards.
And, not to rake up a contentious issue, I had a MK40 and have a K40. Recoil wasn’t/isn’t an issue with either of them. I’d say the K40 recoil is indistinguishable from any polymer 9mm.
