Best EDC

[greg_r]

I am convinced that the best every day carry handguns available today are the Ruger LCR for the revolver fan and the Kahr "C" series for those who prefer the semi automatic.

My coice is the LCRX , both the 1.87 and 3 inch versions in 38 Special. I just like a hammer. On the automatic side I chose the CT380. The handle is just big enough that a can get enough of my pinky finger on it to get a purchase. And the CW45. It just fits me like a glove.

I think 2018 would be a good year to add to my collection. The LCR in 327 Federal. I know, it has a shrouded hammer, but honestly, I shoot the "X" models just about as well double action as single action. Just maybe hammerless would be easier to carry. And the Kahr in 9mm, maybe the ST9. I don't care for the built in rail, I'm not hanging nothing off my pistol, but I do like the slide a bit better than the "C" series slide.

The best EDC is the one that works best for you.

In my case, it's neither of the ones you've chosen.

My EDCs are a DW CCO 1911 ( I thought I would be carrying a CZ PCR, but I have reverted back to what I'm used to.) and a PM 9 or a S&W model 60-7 in my left front pocket, usually the PM9.

I have recently had to attend a funeral or two for fallen comrades, and for those, because of the way my suit wears, I only carry a small little SA .25ACP Beretta, that I cherish. I only consider it slightly better than a pointy stick.

Inside the house, I only have a small .380 in my pocket, today it's a LCP, sometimes it's a CW380. Depends on the season.

I no longer feel a need to carry a gun in my house. Wife and I came to amistice/truce terms a bit of awhile back.

The wife used to always ask why I felt the need to always carry, even at home. I always quipped that 100% of home invasions happened in the home.

A while back friends of ours had a bad experience with an intruder. When the wife was hit by the perp, the husband was stabbed when he went to her defense. The wife has said nothing to me since, and the friend has since had firearm instruction and become a gun owner.

^ In fairness....while I don't carry a gun around at home, I do have a few within easy reach in our living areas. Thinking about it, I wouldn't feel comfortable otherwise....despite that we live in a "no crime" neighborhood with no easy/through access.

I still carry my CBob 1911 and PM45. I've cut back on full time ankle carry due to real or imagined chances of betrayal at work but things seem to be back to normal now so might start hanging it on every day again. I hate rolling around the office nekkid. Been looking at the PCR myself but as you seem to demonstrate, I'm not sure the PCR would ever replace the CBob. Don't mean I don't still want one of course.
I had a fella bring in a little Llama Compact 380 today, cute little bugger. I thought it was 9 at first then saw 9mm Kurz.......Sure was sweet in hand though, only 380 I ever had a hankering for and I probably would never carry it either but sure like to have it. Pretty nice.

Itxi,
We have been married for decades, still I worry. I doubt the .380 would stop a charging spouse.

Yeah...We've both found our ASP batons do an adequate job with less messy after the fact police interviews and paper work.
