What pistol do you carry the most?

[ltxi]

On body concealed....PM9 (or MK9) most of the time.......45 Colt Officers ACP when clothing permits.....NAA mini revolver in .22 mag when clothing permits nothing.

[Hawkstp]

PM9 and a Glock 22 when clothing allows.

\Well it is a nna 22 or p3at in warm weather. In cooler weather, a bersa45 or a 40 amt backup. Of course, I leave a 45 hi-point in the truck full time.(if it gets stolen....no big loss.)w

[kpm9]

I have a G26 in my car, but easily the one I carry the most is the PM9, especially since 9 months out of the year here is warm weather. When it's cold I go to an OWB holster and a G19 or G26.

• PM40
• K9
• Dan Wesson Guardian 9mm
• Kahr P380 to replace the Sig P238 which was recently confiscated by the fairer half of the household
• S&W 4563 (45ACP)
• Sig P226 Elite Dark (40 S&W)
• Sig P938 (9mm) as soon as it arrives on Wednesday

Working on justifying/rationalizing another 1911 in 45 ACP. Maybe two.

As a result of a combination of some new pistols coming to the market and a perpetual desire for another gun, or two, or three, or . . . we reevaluated our defensive gun inventory late last year. The wife & I spent a few days at the range comparing our ability to engage targets rapidly and accurately with both our old guns and several new guns. For us, it is critical that we are accurate at full combat speeds - there's no time for bullseye shooting in a self-defense situation. Interestingly, we were able to be both faster and more accurate with a couple of the new guns, so we decided to make major revisions to our inventory. Listed in order of frequency of carry, along with some comments about the decision.

His:

1. Springfield XD-S 45 ACP

Just in case it's not obvious, I've replaced my Kahr PM40 with the Springfield XD-S. Right out of the box, I was more easily accurate with the XD-S that I was with my long established EDC gun.

2. Sig 1911 Ultra

Of all the sub-compacts we've owned (≤ 3.5") the 3.25" Sig is the nicest shooting overall. The 1911 platform isn't for beginners or anyone not willing to practice, and it's heavier than a polygun (33.0 vs 26.2 for the XD-S), but the thin 1911's disappear under ordinary garments and are so nice to shoot.

3. S&W M&P 9c, 9mm

I'm not a fan of double-stacks for CCW because they tend to print, plus the thicker guns aren't as comfortable IWB. I liked shooting the Glock 26 a bit more than the M&P because the finger grooves helped with my purchase on the gun, however the blocky Glock isn't as comfortable so the M&P came out on top.

4. Sig P938 Extreme, 9mm

Short of carrying a 380, the little Sig P938 is a sweetheart to carry; especially after a few mods. A little work by a Sig specialist improved the trigger as converting it to single safety. A set of thin cocobolo grips perfected it. The P938 fills the hand like a Kahr K9, but it is soooo much thinner. In addition to a nice trigger, the little Sig has a full hand grip and excellent front strap checkering so it doesn't try to move around in my hand. Recoil is surprisingly mild - softer than a PM9. And the slide is easy to rack - a perfect CCW for the gal that's familiar with the 1911 platform.

5. Dan Wesson Guardian, 9mm

While I normally prefer a smaller/lighter CCW, the DW Guardian is only 1.5 oz heavier than the smaller Sig 1911, and 3 oz heavier than the double-stack M&P 9c. The coup de gras is shooting - shooting the Guardian with +P+ loads is like shooting the M&P with soft target loads. FYI: the DW ECO is similar but the thumb safety protrudes on the ECO and digs into the thumb knuckle. Ouch.

6. Ed Brown SFC, 45 ACP

I've had an itch for a Brown since forever, but could never make up my mind which model (Exec or Kobra), and black or SS. Finally across a gun shop that had several so could compare them side-by-side. The Special Forces Carry in SS won. My go-to gun anytime my itinerary includes undesirable neighborhoods.

7. Sig P238, 380 ACP

Coat pocket carry when the larger gun is buried under layers of cold-weather clothing. Or for those times when the dress code just doesn't leave enough room for a larger caliber gun.

Hers:

1. S&W M&P Shield, 9mm
2. Sig P220 Compact SAS, 45 ACP
3. S&W M&P 9c, 9mm
4. Kahr P380, 380 ACP
5. S&W 3913

FYI: the comparison test included:

• Dan Wesson ECO, 45 ACP
• Dan Wesson Guardian, 9mm
• Glock 26

• Kahr P380
• Kahr P40
• Kahr PM40
• Kahr PM9
• S&W 3913 Lady Smith
• S&W M&P 9c
• S&W M&P Shield, 9mm
• Sig 1911 Ultra, 45 ACP
• Sig P220 Compact SAS
• Sig P226 Elite Dark, 40 S&W
• Sig P238
• Sig P938
• Springfield XD-S, 45 ACP

• PM40
• K9
• Dan Wesson Guardian 9mm
• Kahr P380 to replace the Sig P238 which was recently confiscated by the fairer half of the household
• S&W 4563 (45ACP)

My Pistol Dynamics 5" 1911

[Sig-Bob]

I like the HK P7M8.

[Rainman48314]

I like the HK P7M8.

Ditto, my EDC is a P7 PSP, hardchromed. I'm using a Theiss Holster which is very stable, due to the wide spacing of the belt clips. I still carry my Sig P238 about 30% of the time out of convenience, i.e., quick trips and when I know I must leave the gun in the car safe (bar/restaurants). I stopped carrying my PM9 because I don't shoot DA nearly as well.
