What pistol do you carry the most?

[casecloer44]

I have several that I carry but, I never have "settled" on one full time.
Comfort is key to me because I feel good shooting all the ones I own.
I would like to hear what others think.

[JimE]

I carry my Kahr PM 45. The only other hand gun I own is a Springfield XD 45. The Kahr is much more conceallable.

[Dogman]

I have several that I carry but, I never have "settled" on one full time.

Have to agreed with you on this, for me it depends on what I'm wearing and what I'm doing. Mainly in the summer it'll be my PM9 when I can get it away from the wife, I've asked her why she doesn't go buy herself one and she keeps telling me that no she doesn't want one.

[Steelheart]

I've gotten lazy the last few months. I either carry my Taurus M650 (small frame 357 with an enclosed hammer) or my Kahr PM9. The choice is made depending on what I'm doing that day and the weather. I do carry magnum ammo in the 357 (Corbon DPX) and +P Gold Dots in the PM9.

My full time job isn't poster per MN State law but they do have a no weapons policy in the manual. With how jobs are lately I haven't felt like taking any risks.

If the gun is going to live in the lockbox (got one in each vehicle) it's probably the M650. I take the PM9 when it's more likely I'll shift stuff around in my pockets and slide it in for some shopping.

If I feel an elevated threat level I can go to a Taurus PT92 (Supertuck) or a medium frame 357 (Supertuck) but I got that one more for hiking. Good chance there'll still be a pocket gun along.;)

Previously I've carried a subcompact XD9 daily but with getting the PM9 and the PT92 it's an extra gun right now.:D

Steelheart

[Raoul]

PM40 most of the time. On those days when I know I have a higher risk level I'll carry my G19.

[rock]

K40.........

[500KV]

I have 4 "go-to" carry pieces.

Sig 239 .357Sig
Kimber Ultra Carry .45
Kahr PM9.
G19
I have carried my old 9mm Makarov. The thing always works.
As you can see, I'm sort'a indecisive but I've always got something.

[LaVere]

I carry my K40 the most and especially in the warmer months As it gets cooler to damn cold I carry my sig p-229 .40SW. The p-229 is larger and heaver but it holds 15 rounds and with another mag in a belt clip that gives me 30 on my person.
Just for fun sometimes I carry both. ;)

[diver454]

MK9 w/Crimson Trace.

[bumpfire]

Uesd to be Glock 23 40 S&W but size matters so now:
PM9 black, night sights, IWB

[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.

[casecloer44]

\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.

[Sig-Bob]

I like the HK P7M8.

[jimmer]

PM40 / after many hrs researching what types of gun was going to work best for me. From the fire power of the 9mm to stopping power of 45. To be reliable, concealable and comfortable for EDC. Hmmmm I see a PM9/45 in the near future.

[shipwreck]

I normally carry my Beretta 92FS in a Comptac Pro Undercover IWB holster.

I LOVE this gun.

In the past, I carried a USPc45 in a Bladetech NANO holster.

[DakPara]

I have come down to alternating between:

1. Glock 32C (357 SIG, TFO nightsights, LaserMax, grip sleeve) - 31.2 oz loaded with 14 rds
2. Kahr P9 Stainless (Factory NS, grip sleeve) - 22.4 oz loaded with 8 rounds

depending on dress and mood. For OWB carry I use Galco JAK Slides (Glock 1.7 oz, Kahr 1.5 oz). Pics attached.

I shoot the Glock better and faster, but the Kahr is comfy on the hip all day and fits my big pockets when needed. The Kahr earned its coveted position by replacing a Glock 26.

My wife actually carries:

1. Kahr PM9 Stainless (with NS, grip sleeve) - 19.9 oz loaded with 7 rds

Loves it.
-

[HVAC Worker]

CW.45,I have it on my hip right now and dont even feel it.I am attics and tight spaces all day long and it dosent bother me in the slightest.;)

[basswizard]

PM9 in crossbreed microclip. Occasionally use DM Bullard pocket/wallet depending on dress attire.

[cmichael]

Most of time I carry K40, Kimber Eclipse, G23, P22, Colt gold cup and more, depend what I wearing the day.

[mammynun]

PM 45 in a Crossbreed Supertuck. 230gr Gold Dots, 5+1

[Dozer]

In the city, I'll carry either the K40 in a Mitch Rosen open top or a PPK/S in a Fist IWB clipper depending on the weather and level of clothing. If I am going out of town, or in the country or woods, I'll have the P229 on my belt. 180gr XTPs in the .40 and 90gr Hornady Critical Defense in the .380.

[Gottabkiddin]

My EDC is my CW9 and my LCP as a BUG. Great combo. Light weight and good shooters to boot.

[steve666]

Most of the time its the K40, sometimes my CZ100 or the KelTec P32

[8th SPS USAF]

Mostly PM 45 second P 45.

[johnh]

Generally in warm weather my P9--in particular if I am wearing shorts. As it cools off and I can wear jeans I generally switch to a 1911. Most often my Pro Carry CDP. When I can get around to laying in a PM45 that may work its way into the in-between times.

John

[shootinbil]

I carry a CW9

[tv_racin_fan]

Right now when I carry it is a K9. I may opt to carry something else at another time but so long as I can git the K9 relatively comfortably in a pocket I am fine. Since I happen to be in a state that allows open carry I may opt for something larger like a Ruger GP100 6 inch in a sholder holster or a Ruger Old Army in the ole flap holster or some western setup.

I'd love to have an MK9 or the PM9 but don't yet. The wife is carrying a CW9 in her purse until she can get more comfortable with the slide on the K9 and I may opt to carry the CW then.

[MattTheKnife]

Most of the time it's a Glock 19 and a chopped CW9. My Glock 26 is also in the rotation.

[kahrguy9mm]

CW9 with ext 8 rd mag, crimson laser, always on strong side hip. S&W airweight 38 spec +P with crimson trace laser on inside left ankle if wearing pants. RATHER HAVE THEM AND NOT NEED THEM, THEN NEED THEM AND NOT HAVE THEM !!:)

[Jeremiah/Az]

I have been carrying a PM9,both open & concealed. Just bought a P380 that I'm sure will get carried some after the break in time.

[JackBlundell]

PM9 in my case. It's a great pocket pistol.

[badge4436]

Glock 26 at work in BDU pocket.....(crime scene investigator) and Kahr PM9 off duty, with extra six round mag.

[n0igu]

I carry my PM40 most of the time as it's so easy. Have had a P380 ordered since June and looking forward to it. I usually keep my P45 in my night stand but carry it a lot in the winter in my Carhart vest pocket.

[dirksterg30]

I carry my Kel-Tec P3AT more than anything else, although I'm saving up for the P380.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/dirksterg30/Kel-Tec/P3ATplatedincarryconfig.jpg

[border bandit32]

Warm weather (HOT in Texas) carry Kahr PM9, Ruger LCP, Glock 26

Cooler weather G19 or G23

I think these weapons all serve their pupose in different CC situations!

[bikerbill]

tossup between my PM9 and S&W 637 Airweight .38 ... both in pocket carry unless it's cool enough to use a cover shirt or jacket

[Dietrich]

In warm weather,I carry my PM9, in cool weather it`s a Glock 19 most of the time. Every once in a while I`ll carry a snub nose .357 or .38 special.I feel comfortable with any of those handguns or any combination of them.

[.45mac.40]

:80:
1/185th Armor 40th Mech.

CW40 mostly 24/7 ...
Winter carry is my Big Daddy XD45 / tact.

Mac :33:

[shootinbil]

The CW9 all the time

[Diocoles]

I carry my Khar CW9 almost all the time in and out of the home.
Once in a while, mainly in colder weather when it's easier to conceal, I'll carry one of my bigger ones. Beretta PX4 9mm, Kimber Pro Carry II or my XD 9mm.

[Instinct]

I carry my CW9 thats what I purchased it for.

[bookemdano]

carry my Kahr cw9.Love this gun.:D

[G-9]

Hi all.
My favorite carry gun is my PM40. I love this gun!
I sometimes carry it's little brother, PM9.
Winter carry is my ever faithful Sig P226. :)

[Smoke Eater]

I carry the PM45 on my right side and PM9 in my left front pocket. The only thing that changes are the holsters(due to temperature)

[adamsgeneral]

i would have to say my piece thats always with me is my p380. its so small, i almost forget its there, it may be a 380, but its better than the 40 that stays at home.:D

[mtn44]

In Texas. P40 most of the time but when it gets cooler i move to my Kimber Eclipse. I will be adding the P380 to the rotation once I can get ammo and break it in.

[hollander]

Started with the Walther PPS 40 but now every day every where MK 9 owb until it becomes shorts weather again then it is PM9 in the pocket or MK9 on the belt with the shirt out. Love the Kahrs. Would like to get rid of the PPS 40 but I still have 350 rds of ammo so it will be awile. Happy New Year to all!

[hsart]

For personal carry I have the PM45. Am considering a P380 for an additional pocket carry. Have a Glock 19 in the center console of my car.

[Wayne's World]

It use to be a Walther PPK but with a inside belt holster, it dug into my side. Great gun but too many appendages. Now it's the PM9 and I wear it 24/7. I forget it's there. And I feel more comfortable knowing it has more stopping power and the ammo cost a lot less..BUT, I would love to try the PM45.

[In-Yo-Grill]

\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

I don't want to step on any toes but I would encourage you to re-think this type of mentality. It is your responsibility to make sure that you account for your guns in any situation. I personally would hate to know that one of my guns was stolen and in somebody else s' hands doing God knows what.

If you insist on leaving one in your truck at all times then a hidden lockbox secured to the vehicle is going to be your best bet.

That being said...

I drive three different Kahrs depending on what I'm going to be doing. My P9, MK9 and P45.

[johnh]

Well it has gotten cold....actually downright freezing here in Missouri. Have not seen wind chills well below zero in years. So I am back to my steel Commander length 1911 alternating with my K9. Heavier clothes give me more options. The Commander is a C-Bob in 10mm. I know, not a Kahr but a good 1911 is a good 1911.

:D

John

[wyntrout]

A polymer grip should be safer in frigid weather.:) It's 31.6° already here in Jacksonville, and my area is usually 4 to 5 degrees warmer because of the warming effect of the St Johns River about 150 or so yards to the north of us. It's usually coldest around daybreak here, so it's going to be COLD in the morning!!:eek:
Wynn :D

[RiskPro]

I would like an all around carry but prefer to have options for different environments as shared below.

But I am of the opinion that if I tell myself....I better have a gun if I am going x then I try to avoid going in the first place. Because why set yourself up to go into a high risk area / situation to start with.


1) CCW > CW9 or Colt 380
2) Glove Box > Glock 22
3) Home > Glock 23
4) Running > NAA 22
5) Pocket / Cycling> Keltec 32

6) Work > No Firearms........

Anyone else banned from carrying at work?????

[Just Bob]

Same here can't carry inside the building. In the car is OK but not in the building. How do you like the NAA 22 and how do you carry it for running? My wife runs and has been thinking about a CCW for her outings. The 22 mags look pretty good for a small carry pistol. What do you do for a holster? Its required in my state, maybe a clip type? She has a water bottle holder that has zippered pouches on the sides so she has a place to store but always looking for a better idea. She normally carries a S&W model 60 SS 38 but its to big to run with. Just looking for new ideas.
Bob

[coctailer]

P380, P45, PM9 in that order of frequency.

I am carrying my PM9 a lot right now since my P380 is off getting a custom holster made for it, and my P45 is at Mag-na-port.

[vmo]

I bounce between a Para P-14 and a XD 45 Compact, both in Sparks VM-2s with a NAA 380 in the offside front pocket. I recently purchased a PM45 to use as a BUG. I'm still working my way thru it's proving rounds. I am sorta/kinda thinking of going back to a single stack 1911 as a primary as I have tried the 1911 magazines in the PM and they seem to function. I don't normally carry a spare mag for the BUG anyway, but this would be an added benefit.
vmo

[Vinikahr]

I have a mixture in my formula between, CW9/G19/G26 and I carry 24/7:eek:. That mixture will change in the future due to recently acquired weapons (PM9 and CW45).:86:

[ripley16]

For about 14 years I carried a Beretta 84, a gun that was utterly reliable and I could shoot it very well.

About four years ago I retired my Beretta and began carrying a HK P2000SK, a gun I've come to like very much. It exudes competence and quality.

When a little gun will do I also have carried a tiny Seecamp LWS32. It has proven to be a very reliable "little buddy".

I'm currently testing out my new Kahr TP9 for occational shoulder holster use.

[mx5fan]

I love carrying my PM9 and some days I just feel like carrying my M&P 9c (great shooter), then again there some days when the fully monty is required and I carry my Dan Wesson Commander Bobtail .45 acp - 1911 in a Tucker Silent Thunder owb.

It's alllll good :w00t:

[zena]

The only concealable gun I have is the PM9...and it goes everywhere with me.

[Bawanna]

My Para 745 Limited(friends sometimes refer to it as Paranoid) goes with me everywhere some way some how. (I may switch to a Dan Wesson Cbob like Mx5 since she tortured me with that picture of hers.) Normally in a Mernickle OWB PS6 strong side. I have the light colored Woolrich vest which hides this cannon just fine, and even better after I bobtailed it. If it gets hot, semi rare in Washington but it did get hot this last summer I just sweat with comfort and piece of mind. I used to use a fanny pack all the time but was just to girly man for me. If I'm scared which I usually am and have been totally petrified ever since the inauguration I carry my K40 in an ankle setup which surprisingly also holds my officers model size Para 45 and carries nearly the same so I sometimes alternate those just for wardrobe variety. If I can get myself to accept 9mm and I get a PM9 I'm thinking a bellyband rig would be the ticket. I could stand to lose a little spare tire anyhow, (want to look good for my upcoming nuptials with Zena and Mx5) maybe an elastic band around the waist would help. If it doesn't it's still a good place for several extra mags. Wow diahrea of the keyboard again, I'll seek councilling.

[jfrey]

Used to carry my G36 but now it is my CW9 all the time.

[bossbird]

My 12 oz S&W J Frame 340pd 357mag/38spl snub nose revolver. Deeper carry Seecamp LWS32 or Keltec P32 or Kahr P380.

[TxKahr]

PM9 most of the time and a Glock 26 when colder weather hits Texas.

TxKahr

[Vinikahr]

See my signature line!:tongue:

[recoilguy]

I carry a CW9 almost 90% of the time and at other times I will carry a CZ P-01. I have put a Ruger SR9 in a holster and carried it for a day or two, but I prefer not too.

The Kahr is a great gun and tucked in the jndtactical holster I can comfortably carry it for 18 hours. The CZ as my second choice is a great gun! a wonderful shooter and very nice looking with her wooden handles.

RCG

[jwr]

My Sig P238 most of the time. I've been trying the CW9 lately and have to wait on an IWB holster before I really decide.

I spend about 9 or 10 months of the year in cargo shorts and a t-shirt (work from home). The P238 fits perfectly in almost all the pockets I've tried so it sees the most use by far (front pocket carry).

When I bought the CW9 recently I was thinking about selling the P238 and just going for a PM9 but after holding both (P238 and PM9) side-by-side, actually measuring lengths and thicknesses with calipers, and pocketing both. The P238 was enough smaller in length and thickness to convince me to keep it and go for the CW9 for IWB or OWB. It was close though and I still might pickup a PM9 as my next purchase. :)

Here's the main reason I stuck with the P238. I know this is a photo of a P238 versus CW9 but the PM9 has the same slide *width* as the CW9. It's just machined nicer.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn69/jerrywrussell/238vKahr-101.jpg

[border bandit32]

PM9 90% of time... after many attempt I think I found the best CCW out there.....the PM9

[noslolo]

CW40 is carried for all of my personal time and to and from work. Never at work....You will be fired instantly, and I can't afford that.

[jeep45238]

The .380 BUG is carried 100% of the time - the 1911 a solid 75%, T40 the other 25%.

[Valkyrie]

Glock 19 or 26. PM9 when weather and clothing dictate.

[jstringer]

Just got a PM9 and am waiting on some holsters and a mag pouch.
It will definitely be carried a lot in the summer.
Also carry quite often an XDsc 40 and sometimes and XDM 40 but OWB only.
Depends on the situation and where I might be headed.

[smithnsig]

I have recently switched to the CW-9 from an M&P9c. I found that the M&P is a great gun, but carried a little heavy for me. It also seemed a little thick in the slide. (M&P was designed around .40 for LEO use, and the 9 mm version retained the same width).

The Kahr was a little too thin in the grip until I added a Handall Jr. It now point shoots naturally. It took a couple of range trips to settle in with the trigger, but now I love it.

I will also occasionally carry a Sig SP 2022 when out in the woods or the boonies. Some of my jobsites are way out, out of cell range, so I feel a little better with the capacity.

I am going to try my new TRUSS holster tomorrow at church with the CW-9, so I'll give a report.

Oh, I also pocket carry the obligatory j-frame around the house.

[kb2wji]

At work (LEO) a Sig p220 .45 with Xiphos NT tac light, in a serpa III holster. PM9 in my vest.

At home, PM9 in a leather slide holster or Fobus paddle.

Off duty, out and about its up for grabs :D Usually my PM9, but sometimes my XD9mm 3" or, if im visiting a shady area, my sig 220 .45, with xiphos light, in a serpa holster (not too often)

[rtrider]

CW9 IWB or in my tank-bag if I'm riding the bike. Not allowed at work.

[cgo99]

I carry my PM9 about 90% of the time. Is just so easy to conceal that is really no effort at all. What makes it easy for me is the fact that I have 3 different holsters, that allows me to customize my carrying options according to the situation and/or wardrobe.
The rest of the time I carry my Springfield XDm 9mm witch I also love but let's face it, is harder to conceal and carry.

[tonys]

Cooler weather where I can dress around my piece..A sig of some flavor..I really enjoy my 220 elite, I have two, SS and nitron. Nitron is a little lighter. But
I love the weight of the stainless gun..

other times, PM9 on the way or Covert p40 or small revo...

Just always carrying something..

tonys

[jlottmc]

MY carry piece pretty much depends on what I'm in the mood to carry. Since I don't wear shorts, and dress about the same all the time (even though it gets HOT here) I carry what I feel like carrying that day. Usually I set it out the night before, and tend to favor full size pistols (1911, GP100 w/4"bbl, Taurus 24/7 in 40, Ruger P345) I try to rotate every couple to few days and yes my P45 is definitely in the rotation as well. I will be acquiring more soon and will work them into the rotation as well.

[DKD]

Now let me see.... Now currently packing my PM45 & spare mag with a back up Sig 238 in my rear pocket holster.
Previously used to carry my Colt Defender or my very nice Kimber Ultra Raptor both in 45 ACP. Much depends on my mood and manor of dress. I also on occasion pack my MK9 Elite if I want a little more bang for my buck over the Sig 238.

[druryj]

CW9, Glock 19, PPK/S and J-frame...probably in that order depending on dress and situation.

[Patsfan PM9]

In the summer I have my pm9 in a belly band and just a t shirt will hide it. When I can wear a light jacket it's my Para Ordnance OPS .45.

[cbroth]

Most of the time my PM9, but in the dead of winter my Sig P239 in .357sig.

[Steve-$]

S&W 340 most of the time, but working my K9 into the program.

[yqtszhj]

LCP most all the time. Just picked up the CW9 w/ IWB holster. After enough practice I'm gonna try to work out the CW9 but I'm gonna have the find the best way. I like the pocket carry of the LCP and I don't think that will work out for the CW9.

[Dietrich]

Ooops! I`ve already answered this thread.Been so long I forgot.

[jlottmc]

I almost did the same thing Dietrich. Had to check, then as I was doing that, I found that some of the answers have changed.

[Dietrich]

I almost did the same thing Dietrich. Had to check, then as I was doing that, I found that some of the answers have changed.
Yeah,some of mine have changed too.These senior moments are becoming more frequent.If I had known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.Sorry.What were we talking about?

[jlottmc]

Damn it Dietrich that was my line. I guess you don't have to be that old to have a senior moment though do you, or is it called something else when a youngin ye be?

[tconroy]

These 2 most all the time, Summer time with just a t shirt it is the CW9.

[MW surveyor]

^^Same as tconroy. ^^

[tconroy]

^^Same as tconroy. ^^

Im actually a lot better shot with the 357 but in time the Kahr will be perfected.:D

[tconroy]

^^Same as tconroy. ^^

Im actually a lot better shot with the 357 but in time the Kahr will be perfected.:D When my wife asks me if I want to go somewhere, I say "just a minute" and head to the bedroom. She knows what Im doing and never asks which one or both I am carrying, she just know I am.:)

you gonna ask the bastards kicking your door in for a home invasion "just a minute" and head to the bedroom? ;)

call me paranoid, but i stay loaded and holstered around the house. 80% of the time i have my hk p2000 in an MTAC, but i dont have my andrews macdaniel ii IWB for my pm9 yet and didnt like pocket carry so much as i thought i would.

i shoot the pm9 well enough at self defense ranges that once i get a comfy holster for it, i think it'll be closer to 50/50.

[eastenn]

Like a Silent Thunder?? It should be there tomorrow!

[apheod]

schweet! TBH, it was an impulse buy to fill that IWB gap until the macdaniel ii gets here.

who knows, maybe i'll end up preferring it :cool:

[Ol'coot]

I don't know how I missed this thread since it has been around for a while, I will just chalk it up to having a senior moment as so well stated by Dietrich. My daily carry 80% of the time is a PM9 with a CT in a crossbreed mini-tuck, the or 20% is divided between my K40 in a mini-tuck and my old trusty S&W 39-2 in a super-tuck depending on what I will be doing and the weather.

[jocko]

aw, the ol 39-2, Illinois State Police first 9mm semi auto. Still IMO one of the finest guns ever made.

[tconroy]

NO! The " just a minute" means Im getting my other gun too or switching out. ALWAYS carry the 357 in the house. It is the house gun. I like carrying the CW because I have 15 rounds on me and I need a better holster for the SP 101 but they are hard to find for the 3 1/16th barrel IWB. I carry it in a Fobus paddle holster OWB in the house. Does that clear things up??:D:D I shoot both well enough to hit a 3" circle 5 out of 7 times at 30 ft. but would like to do better. I am a perfectionist.

[jocko]

u guys must live in some awfully bad bad areas??

[Ol'coot]

aw, the ol 39-2, Illinois State Police first 9mm semi auto. Still IMO one of the finest guns ever made.

jocko,

The S&W 39-2 was my first 9mm and my first semi-auto pistol bought it new at Montgomery-Wards over 30 years ago. I have shot many thousands of rounds thought the ol'war horse and it still runs great on anything you put it it. I don't remember ever having even a single failure with the gun. It still is in very good shape some holster wear but only minor issues. I am thinking of having a local gunsmith (http://www.customizedcreationz.com/home.html) cerkote it to give it a little update in looks, He does a excellent job with the cerakote finishes. I don't ever intend on selling it and a couple of my son's that grew up shooting it and have made it perfectly clear if I were to ever let go of it they have first shots at it.

[tconroy]

u guys must live in some awfully bad bad areas??

Everybody in my area is retired and there is only 3 streets to get in. If someone is in my neighborhood they are either visiting or they live here. Actually I live in a very good area so if you come over call first cause my neighbors will be watching:)

i dont live in the ghetto or anything, but a lower middle class neighborhood. i had my door kicked in while i was at work back in october and all of my weapons stolen, a few days later as i was coming over to pack up a load (i started moving out the night i found the door kicked in, as there was still 20k+ worth of electronics sitting around that he didnt take) i caught the bastard prying and kicking at my back door, and put him face down in the dirt at gunpoint while i called the police.

they charged him with vandalism for tearing up my door and turned him loose 4 hours later with no attempt to search his house for my weapons, and they didnt even inform the burglary detectives handling the prior week case. they called me a few days later and asked if i had any leads on who broke into my house, i was like "how about the guy i caught breaking in 2 days ago? good suspect in my amatuer opinion."

since then, i never get caught unarmed except at work, where i have to disarm.

[kramm]

pm45 is my edc. I change to different holsters as weather changes.
In the summer I carry in an Ace IWB. Winter I have a Jeffery Custom Leather IWB I use.

I've heard from several LEO friends that after a successful home burglary, perps often go back to the same house after a few days. In addition I've known two folks (including my boss) who had exactly that happen to them.

Doesn't make sense to me - I'd think the victim would be more on guard. If I were a BG I'd move on to another unsuspecting victim. Maybe they're thinking because they were successful once, they can be successful again. Dunno - I can't think like a BG so I guess I wouldn't be a very successful one.

[dannyeller]

My main carry is a S&W M642 Pro. It has a power port, XS bigdot tritium front sight, Rosewood lamanent grips off my wife's 642 lady smith (she has a set of Crimson Trace Lasers on hers), and a laserlite pulsating laser on the right side of the frame. It is light at 17oz loaded with magsafe defenders. It is no sissy as it barks with authority, hits damn hard and is super easy to carry in my left front pocket inside a Desantes Superfly.

I have both a Kahr T9 and a Kahr MK40 with Novak night sights and wood grips at Robar for the Rogard black finish with the NP3 on internals. I've had some fine checkering done on the front strap and front of the trigger guard on both pistols. I also beveled the magwell and smoothed out some machine marks on the inside of the frames and polished the feed ramps before sending them to Robar. I have a stainless steel guide rod with high power 24lb spring coming for the MK40 due to some stiff loads I shoot out of it. I would do the same for the spring in the T9 but I can't find a heavier spring than the 20lb stock one. I shoot Corbon 155 +Ps and 180gr hard ball out of the MK40. The T9 gets Buffalo Bore 147gr +p+ for the carry load.

The MK40 had some good thump to it and I found my hand a little sore after the first session of 200+rds. I sent it out to Mag-na-port before I sent it on to Robar.

The T9 gave me some real issues with the rear Novak sight not tightening up and falling off during firing and the chamber being out of round. After some hard work I was able to get Kahr to step up and fix them. But as far as shootability the T9 was a sweethart even with the very hot loads. I can shoot the stiffest loads all day with no problems as long as I have my Peltors on. The T9 carries as well as the MK40 since it is a touch flatter. Flatter is more important in concealment than length of barrel. If you wonder about that find a Colt 1862 Pocket Police (replica or real) that comes with a 5” barrel and put it in your front pocket. You’ll be amazed at how well it conceals!

I'll send pics once I get them back.

==============

Burglars that do it for a living will come back to the same house they got a good load from the first time about two to three weeks after the first burglary. Why? Because that gives you time to get your insurance money and replace your stolen stuff. They'll probably even get lucky and be able to take the boxes they came in. If so they'll try and return it to the store for cash. Places like KMart will still hand the money over even with someone standing right there telling them the stuff is stolen. That has actually happened right in front of me.

[dannyeller]

jocko,

The S&W 39-2 was my first 9mm and my first semi-auto pistol bought it new at Montgomery-Wards over 30 years ago. I have shot many thousands of rounds thought the ol'war horse and it still runs great on anything you put it it. I don't remember ever having even a single failure with the gun. It still is in very good shape some holster wear but only minor issues. I am thinking of having a local gunsmith (http://www.customizedcreationz.com/home.html) cerkote it to give it a little update in looks, He does a excellent job with the cerakote finishes. I don't ever intend on selling it and a couple of my son's that grew up shooting it and have made it perfectly clear if I were to ever let go of it they have first shots at it.

======

The reason I bought a Kahr T9 was that I didn't buy a S&W M39 when I should have!

[steve666]

Most is probably my KelTec P32 which I carry almost always, whether as my main carry or as back-up. Next in order would be my Kahr K40, then my CZ100.

[HadEmAll]

Bunch of big pistols for years, but more and more its becoming either my PM40 or my .357 LCR.

[MikeyKahr]

Bunch of big pistols for years, but more and more its becoming either my PM40 or my .357 LCR.

How's that .357 LCR been for you? That's on my short list for my next purchase and I would like to get feedback from someone with personal experience. Thanks!

[HadEmAll]

How's that .357 LCR been for you? That's on my short list for my next purchase and I would like to get feedback from someone with personal experience. Thanks!

I don't want to hijack the thread, but can tell you it is great, but brutal in recoil with Remington and Speer 125 grain magnum JHPs. The 1st 5 rounds in a session are tolerable, the 2nd 5 hurt somewhat, and I slip on a glove (without shame) for any remaining rounds to be fired that session.

It might be the hardest kicking handgun/ammo combination I've ever fired, due to its light weight. The same ammo in the all steel SP101 has healthy recoil, but not like the .357 LCR. I thought the PM40 with 155 grain JHPs was fierce, but this tops it a little.

I'm really not complaining, that's why I bought it. It glides out of the pocket nicely, and I'm getting 1245 fps-432 ft/lbs ME with the Remington 125 grain SJHP.

This compares with 910 fps-231 ft/lbs ME with the same bullet in the .38 +P LCR, which I also own, so the .357 comes close to doubling the energy output.

Despite the hefty recoil, I can unload all five in the .357 version as rapidly as I can the .38 version. The .38 version is just easier on the hand at the range. The difference will probably never be noticed if used in its intended purpose, with adrenalin pumping and all.

Ruger did a great job in designing the trigger on the LCR, it is really nice for a double-action only. I highly recommend it.

To get back on topic, I've taken to alternating days with front pocket carry using the .357 LCR, and the PM40. They are both true pocket pistols, and both generate over 400 ft/lbs of muzzle energy with the ammo I carry in them.

I carry two spare magazines for the PM40, two (or sometimes four) speed strips for the LCR.

[MikeyKahr]

Thanks HadEmAll, I appreciate the reply about the .357 LCR. I'm definitely interested in it and am looking forward to getting some time with one to confirm my desire. And more importantly test it out in my wife's hands (probably with 38s though as not sure she'd tolerate the .357 well).

Back on topic, PM9 all the time for me...and a spare mag or two depending on where I'm headed and going through.

[1911fanatic]

I carry my 1911 all the time. It has a Colt frame, AO Thompson Custom slide and barrel and Houge grips.:D

[adventures47129]

This is my carry pistol (CW9).

http://www.stevecampbell.org/image/obj59geo45pg1p34.jpg

[robdnor]

PM40 most of the time(pocket carry), come summer and swim trunks it'll be the lcp during the day and back to the PM40 at night when i have more on.

since i'm a student carry is out of the question for my 'job'

occasionally in winter i'll go larger like a full size 9 or 45 but the PM40 is definitely my preference

[pappy42]

PM 45, pocket carry.

[Willieboy]

If the Glock 26 would fill the bill for all weather conditions and wardrobe requirements, it would be the only gun I would carry. Since it doesn't though, I've slimmed down, first to a Kel-Tec P11 and most recently to the PM9.

I try to keep the manual of arms of the pistols I carry as close to the same as possible. That way, in a pinch, I don't have to think about going from DA to SA, safeties, etc.

[CJB]

Up until now, I've carried 1911's in various sizes up to 5". Like Commander's a lot, but the Officer's got its use. My Springfield "Compact 45" is a 4", which is a unique length, using a standard size bushing, but having the Officer's size frame. That was my mainstay, except for the occasional carry of my SP101.

Just got a PM45.... I dont think I'll go back to anything else soon. Don't get me wrong! I still like all of my 1911's, but..... this PM45 is the cats rosette. I've had it a week and already converted two Glock shooters. Goin' up to Virginia... got a few more converts to make up there. Can't say enough nice about this little Kahr.

[JodyH]

H&K P2000Sk when I holster up.
Kahr PM9 when I pocket carry.
Those are my most often carried pistols.

[burns]

I'm finally down to two that I carry 99% of the time; either my PM9 or my Seecamp .32 I carry the Seecamp when I can't comfortably conceal a "real gun" due to what I'm wearing or what I'm doing on a given day. For example, I pocket a Seecamp when golfing.

[Bawanna]

If I played golf I'd have a special slot in my stick bag for my Thompson.

[bonjorno2]

glock 27 iwb or soon my new pm9 for summer carry and a kel tec p32 in the pocket or on the ankle when I am dressed up.

[jta]

XD9sc up until I got my PM40. The PM40 is so much easier to conceal.

[JimBianchi]

Since loosing 100lbs, the G26 90% of the time.

The other 10% is mostly the MK9 pocket carried. Man that is convenient!

Now that I have a K9, I may work that into the rotation.

[lslick23]

I carry a Sig P6 and now a CW9 which I seem to carry a lot more these days. Every once in awhile an M&P9c.

[Thunder71]

PM9 in SmartCarry or Silent Thunder.

[wayneo1]

MK9 Elite for work in the summer and S&W subcompact 1911 all the other times.

[Chowser]

Right now I am edc'ing a Glock 33 in either a iwb holster or pocket holster if clothing permits. Once I get my CM9, that is what I will be pocket carrying.

[dannyeller]

I was carrying a S&W 642 Pro with a big dot tritium sight and frame mounted laserlyte in a Desantes Superfly pocket holster.

I have a custom Robar Rogaurd finished Mag-na-ported MK40 with wood grips and Novak night sites that I also carry in either a fanny pack or another Desantes superfly pocket holster. I've been carrying the MK40 the most lately but there is nothing wrong with the S&W 642 Pro loaded with 38 spc Magsafes. I have carried the 642 Pro for a couple of years since they came out. Probably will revert back to that after a while. It is a lot lighter than a MK40 but the MK40 (though being much heavier) has one more round ready to go and is way more powerful.

[Barth]

DEFCON One: Sig Sauer P239 357
DEFCON Two: Kahr MK40 Micro Elite
DEFCON Three: S&W 342 11oz Titanium 38+P

(Have 12 gauge, 44 mag and 45 ACP for extended engagements)

[slowpoke]

CW 40 but I'm developing a fondness for a CM9 I just picked up.

[CJB]

Kahr PM45, Stainless Officer's ACP, Springfield "Compact .45", Browning HP at times, sometimes still a Commander .45 in stainless. Very rarely a full size Government Model .45, and sometimes an SP101 in .38Special chambering

Of those, the Kahr PM45 is the choice of choices. Very hard to beat for size, weight and punch.

[Too Tall Todd]

Primary carry is my p9 usually in a Theis iwb, occasionally I'll carry my hk p7 m13 simply because I so love this gun. When clothing allows nothing more the little naa .22mag.

[CJB]

PM45 99% of the time. colt officers model sometimes. ruger s p 101 rarely. Sig p220 in the truck at times.

[garyb]

PM40 or Bodyguard380 (usually in a Remora): depending on what activity I'm doing; what I'm wearing; where I am going; what gun I am training with; and how I feel about carrying it that particular day. Sometimes I just want a change. At half the weight our sweet, little 380 makes our tiny, sexy PM40 feel like a giant.
Yes, I routinely train with what I carry everyday.

[Thunder71]

PM9 concealed, CZ P-01 in the car, XDM 9mm Compact next to the bed.

[Barth]

Weekends: Kahr MK40 Elite with NS.
Loaded with Speer 180 grain GDHP Short Barrel ammo.

Weekdays: S&W 342 ti 38 with XS Systems Big Dot front sight, SS trigger W/action job and Eagle Black Onyx Secret Service grips (11.6 oz).
Loaded with Speer 135 grain P+ GDHP Short Barrel ammo (14.0 oz loaded).

[steve666]

I carry a variety of pistols depending on circumstances, however I most often carry my Kahr K40 and my KelTec P32.

[FTG2Voge]

In warm weather I often carry a CW9, otherwise a 1911 of some sort, either a Para LTC .45 or my customized SA Mil-Spec.

[krgun]

I carry either my CM9 in a "Sticky" pocket holster or my Taurus TCP with Crimson Trace laser in a "Sticky" pocket holster.

[ripley16]

It's been a year and a half since I first answered and I still carry my little Seecamp LWS32 and a marvelous HK P2000sk 9mm, (the best compact on the planet, IMHO). The Seecamp is carried more often in the summer.

The Dynamic Duo, the Hk seeing about 5 years of service and the Seecamp over 20.

That Seacamp is a pretty little gun, but I have a question: is the trigger pull - like - 11-12 lbs as I have heard?

[ripley16]

That Seacamp is a pretty little gun, but I have a question: is the trigger pull - like - 11-12 lbs as I have heard?

A typical measured pull weight I've seen reported is about 10 lbs on the DAO Seecamp. After 24 years it is well broken in, feels lighter than 10lbs and is buttery smooth. The pull is fairly long, measured at about 3/4".

On paper the Seecamp looks difficult and almost too tiny to shoot well, but in person the package is very well suited to it's purpose and everything works together in a finely made, silky smooth, competent manner. One has to get used to a "finger and a half" grip and learn to love a sightless gun, but once you get over these features, the gun shines and grows on you. At least it did for me.:cool:

Thanks. I've always admired those guns. I guess I'll have to wait until I can handle one in a LGS or at a show, and see how my partially paralyzed hand can do with that trigger.

Could a competently done trigger job lighten it up some?

[ripley16]

I've read of trigger jobs done on the Seecamp but I've never personally compared one. Perhaps this linked thread will answer some of your questions. This link takes you to the Seecamp forum.

[jocko]

seecamp makes really nice looking and what seems well made guns. Never owned one but they sure are nice.

I wasin my local Gander mountain store today for thefirst time in ages. Now I remember why I don't go in there. they had a cm9 in there for $559 and a PM9 stainless finish for $799 and right beside each gun was a jar of KY jelley..

unbelievalbe place and they lock bank robbers up every day for what Gander does legally.

[MikeyKahr]

Well, jocko, you did realize there was a reason why Gander Mtns are usually close to a highway, right?

[druryj]

CW9 90% of the time

[Jason]

I carry my CM9 everywhere i go every time. I bought it to replace a ruger lcp that also went everywhere. lcp was much easier to carry in pocket. I like to carry my 9 in appendix IWB . Gun is always there.

[QuercusMax]

Well, I normally have my trusty old (and it IS old) ********** holstered up and available for use almost everywhere I got. Ammo costs are pretty low, and I use it every day. Good guys and bad guys alike are texting, emailing and calling me all the time on it.

I've been thinking of taking one of my Kahrs, 1911's or my SAA with me every so often, but I never was a LEO so I am not used to carrying a lot of equipment on my belt when I'm out and about.

I love my guns - all of them - but they're my friends at home cuz I can only carry so much equipment on my body at any given time, and when I reach my weight limit I don't have any capacity to bring any of my little friends with me. (I admit I'm a bit of a weakling.)

What? :confused:

[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.

[rjt123]

PM45 or PM9, depending on the weather. I carry the .45 whenever possible.

[yqtszhj]

I carry my CM9 everywhere i go every time. I bought it to replace a ruger lcp that also went everywhere. lcp was much easier to carry in pocket. I like to carry my 9 in appendix IWB . Gun is always there.

Sounds just like my situation w/ same guns and carry method. I do still carry the LCP when it just has to be hidden really good.

[hdsteve69]

My EDC is a Glock 19. If I need to carry something smaller framed for better concealment with what Im wearing I will carry a K40 if I need to go even smaller I will carry my S&W Body guard 380. I used to carry my K40 as EDC but I shoot the glock the best out of all my weapons so that is why its my EDC now.

[O'Dell]

Of my thirteen pistols I carry all but three on occasion. The three I don't are a FS SA 1911, a SIG P220, and a HK 40, all fairly large guns. That leave me seven for belt carry, but my CW40 is near the top of that list because it's the lightest of the bunch. In hot weather or when I can't cover a belt holster, I drop my PM9 or LCP in a pocket.

[gundawg]

I carry M&P 9c, with Apex Goodies, and ameriglo Proglo front sight only.

I just picked up a CM9, and after break in, i am sure it will split time with the M&P. I just installed the qwickgrip #3, and it feels even better, fits perfect, i am ordering the Trijicon front sight from Kahr soon as well.

I keep a SP2022 9mm next to my bed, and have a P229 .40 downstairs i can reach in about 5 seconds.

[monkeyapeman]

I can't believe this thread is so popular lol

Ill carry a glock 22 on a pancake styled belt holster when working. My MK9 elite in a High Noon tailgunner or a Mitch Rosen belt slide when I'm feeling classy or out at dinner or with my normal attire.

For those lazy days in shorts and a tee, a KelTec PF9 in a remora

[Rainman48314]

Our training class today was enccouraged to carry two guns. I had been thinking about that lately. I want to get proficient shooting offhand and drawing from my left front pocket. The P7 will be IWB at 2:00 o'clock

[druryj]

Most of the time I carry a well-worn, smooth, and reliable CW9 in a UBG Striker IWB holster. I have bigger and I have smaller pistols from which to choose, but the CW9 is a great option for me; it's not meant to be pretty; but it is pretty darn good as a CCW piece.

[Goldstar225]

When off-duty, my K40 is my primary carry. I do occassionally drop my 642 in my pocket for a trip down the street for a milk run.

[1911master]

PM 9 or TP 9. Most times the PM.

[PETE14]

In the fall and winter I carry my Glock 27. In the spring and summer I carry my MK9 with a t-shirt or my P380 when i am wearing shorts. If I am going to a bad part of town I will carry my Glock 23.

[bikerbill]

my EDC since I got my plastic in '04 has been a PM9 ... I'm retired, carry it mostly in a pocket holster, strong side, with a reload in my weakside pocket ... the gun has been stone reliable since I took it out of the box ... when it's cool enough to wear a jacket or overshirt, I belt carry it in a Fobus paddle holster .. occasionally carry a Kimber UCII, and pocket carry an NAA Pug when I'm at home ... PM9 is a great weapon, I love it ...

[kahrlover123]

PM9 is my CCW. I have a 45ACP in the car just in case I need it.

[Barth]

I've carried all my handguns at one time or another.
Lately, during the week in business clothes, it's a S&W 342 ti 38.
Weekends - Glock EXO Fail Zero G27.

Isn't life grand?

[Bawanna]

So many toys, so little belt real estate.

[rjt123]

Hmmm. I don't know about you, Bawanna, but my belt real estate seems to be, uhh, "expanding". Or maybe it's just me that's expanding. :blushing:

[apheod]

lately, a k9 elite. i'm feeling like it'll be my 90% carry piece even once the new wears off. if i'm going light, a pm9. if i'm going heavy, an hk p2000 9mm.

[slick slidestop]

Now my daily carry is my PM9....Before I bought my PM9, I had mostly been pocket carrying my LCP and alternating my Glock 27 and Glock 30 as a vehicle gun. Before I bought my LCP, my daily carry was my G27.

Depending on my location and situation I will change up. If I know I will be in a bad city, or during busy holidays/events like Mardis Gras or Spring break I will carry my G27 or G30.....normal life in my city I stick with something smaller

[cgff]

well my usual carry is/was a S&W centenial or a S&W 3913 (9mm) I have recently aquired a p-40 covert like my first post wow! If this pistol continues to perform the way it did yesterday it will be my go to carry year round, 6 rounds of .40 S&W 155s to 180s and another 5-6 back up after all those years with my 640 centenial sure seems weird to think of leaving it in the safe. (The 3913 help fund the 40-covert)

[.45fan]

S&W 340sc = Always
XD .45compact = Usually
Kahr PM9 = Sometimes

The others have become safe queens.

[ltxi]

Awww, jeez....you just had to bring up the 340 right when I'm trying hard not to buy one. My current edc is a PM9 but I'm a decades long fan of J-frames, especially the lightweights. Very convenient to carry with a Clip Draw (no flaming on that subject, please) when in minimalist mode. I very recently become enamored with the idea adding an M&P340 to the collection, mostly because it addresses the real shortcoming of crappy "under stress" sights. It would also give me a welcome opportunity to renew my J-frame action tuning skills.

The two things stopping me at the moment are that Davidson's doesn't currently have the no internal lock version in stock and I'm less than three months shy of getting through the second, renewal, year of my "no more guns" thread pledge....not sure I could stand the aftermath /ridicule if I caved.

[1911master]

I carry 2 a NAA 22 magnum and a Kahr PM 9.

[sierrajb]

Kahr PM9 mostly, Ruger SP101 occasionally.

[mikedmd]

New here, first post. Last year my wife and I purchased our own matching PM9's. She recently has acquired a T9 as well. I figure that qualifies us for KahrTalk membership :) I carry a PM9 daily. She tries to carry her PM9 or T9 but since she has gone back to college, it mostly remains a car gun (in SC any school/university whether public or private is a no carry zone). I've thought about carrying the PM9 during the summer/hot weather and a double stack Glock or XDM during the winter... but here at the beach, we don't get much winter :) Though it does get chilly for a few months of the year, I've been in shorts and a t-shirt at Christmas before. The PM9 is just so versatile and comfortable to carry so I carry it everywhere.

Times change and so did I...

Recently aquired a Ruger 2 1/4" SP101 in 357 and I carry it mostly with my Kahr K9 getting the call when my pants don't accomodate the Ruger or if I just feel like a K9 day.

[jocko]

IMO that is probably the mai reason people buy a kahr is its size. Sure it is quality, it is also expensive to but it's size and weight prevails. or I think the xd or glock would prevail. I know that is why I bought my PM9 and now I would have no other..

[royal]

The one I'm carrying right now, my PM9, PDX1, in pjholster IWB.

[Husky44]

Right now my XDm 40; mainly because my CW 40 is at the factory. :(

[patgwashere]

during cold days when I wear a jacket (rare since I am in florida) I will carry my Springfield xdm-45. Most other days it has been my ruger lcp in my front pocket. now that I have a cm9 it will probably replace the ruger as my edc. If I am going in to a bad neighborhood my glock 26 with plus 2 mag, IWB replaces the pocket pistol.

[earle8888]

Went from PM40 to PM45...

[OrlandoChuck]

My EDC firearm is a CW9 in a IWB Pro Carry HD Holster with WWB 147gr HP.
1 Chambered and a full mag of 7.

[bufford]

P40 covert most days. Sig 228 when I wear a Jacket, LLama .380 when it just seems right (1st gun my wife bought me, 33 years ago... sentimental - yet deadly!)

[RodeoX]

My Kahr K9 when it arrives, until then Bersa 383-A. In Wisconsin our permit also allows carrying of other weapons like tasers, knives, billy clubs etc. I studied martial arts for many years and sometimes I carry a dagger. If you train you can become quite dangerous with a knife.

[pocket pistol]

I mostly carry my CM9. Especially cooler days when I can hide it better and when it's night time. But I got to say on the warmer days when I wear less clothes it's my little LCP. I'm about 75% CM9 25% LCP.

[Kiehtan]

Sometimes my Beretta 92:

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p49/kiehtan/DSC02102.jpg

But now that I have a PM-9, it is my carry gun of choice.

[alan1028]

Cm9 or LCP depending on dress

[ltxi]

Sadly(?), my J-frames have been getting more casual carry time these days than they were.

[tilefish]

Right now I carry a XD9 in R.Grizzle leather. Comfortable, the weight is not an issue but the grip prints with anything less than a sweatshirt. If it does not print, my shirt/jacket will ride up on the grip exposing it.

When my new K9 Elite arrives, it will be my carry gun. Well, after I get my new leather it will be. The guy who makes my holsters is around a ten week waiting period right now.

[Sgt01]

I probably carry my S&W 442 38 Special the most, even though there are times I know I should probably be carrying something a bit more substantial. The little snubbie is too easy to just throw in a pocket...

Oops...already posted on this one. Idiot.

[SkeletonSlinky]

My trusty PM9...pocket holster

[O'Dell]

I probably have too many active pistols, sixteen to be exact. I seldom carry the FS SA 1911, P220, or HK USP 40, because of their size, so they are relegated to the range or home defense. Of the remaining, two or three are pocket guns for hot weather, so I'm down to ten for belt carry. Of those the CW45 most often finds it's way to my holster. It's four or five ozs lighter and thinner than any of the other 45's.

[downtownv]

My K-9 inside/ outside it's all good.

[Tinman507]

Used to be CM9 now K9. Barely notice the small weight difference. Grip is no bigger than the CM9 with Pierce Grip extender.

[lowroad]

I took a 6 mile round-trip walk yesterday with a CM9 in the front pocket of my cargo shorts in a trimmed desantis nemesis and it didn't bother me a tick. Didn't pull my shorts down, didn't shift around, and no one (including my significant other) knew it was there. Keeper.

Sure I could go with a little smaller piece, but it's hard for me to compromise fire power. A 147 gr 9mm hollowpoint is going to do it. 380...maybe, maybe not.

[lowroad]

Why does it have to be only 1...?
Just sayin.....Law in my state dictates you may carry only one firearm at a time, whether open or concealed (with permit). ;)

[apheod]

k9 elite in a james dean IWB.

[DKD]

As of late I had aquired a p380 in my front right pocket cause its so damn easy to conceal & light to. Normally my EDC is either my PM9 or PM45 as my main stay witha BUG a NAA 22 mag 'Pug" in the front left pocket.

[7shot]

I now carry a K9 in a Galco OWB holster...

[CJB]

A year after buying my first Kahr PM45.....still my daioy carry. Got two others....pm45 , pm9.
The 9 goes with me from time to time, but usualy its one of the pm45s.

[Barth]

Weekdays I have to pocket carry.

It's not quite stock.
Professionally tuned action.

Then on weekends, when I dress the way I want?
And carry what I want?

K9 NYPD reject in a PJHolster IWB and I'm not looking back.

[QuercusMax]

I was perusing a thread with a similar title to this one over on the S&W board a while back, and was amazed at how many people there said that they carried Kahrs, either as primary, backup or alternate. Unscientifically I would say at least 10% - or more - of the posters said they carried Kahrs.

I know there is no one perfect gun (contrary to what Gaston Glock would like everyone to believe), but it was a bit surprising that Kahr was mentioned so often on a "foreign" board, given that there are a number of other brands that are cheaper/more famous/better known/have more disciples/etc.

We didn't cover backup guns.
My second is either a S&W 342 ti 38 +P in my pocket.
Or, wait for it, Kahr MK40 Elite on my hip - LOL!
The Kahr is bone stock with factory NS and loaded with Speer Duty GDHP 40 155 gr.
The 11.1 0z titanium Smith has the same treatment as it's 357 brother.
And is loaded with Speer GDHP Short barrel 135 gr 38 +P.

[Longitude Zero]

Generally a Glock 19 primary CCW and a CW45 deep cover. Now during really hot weather the CW45 is primary since an ankle holster would be too obvious when wearing khaki cargo shorts.

I think it has something to do with intelligence and maturity as a gun owner. Both of these brands are beyond the appreciation of most KTers who stop looking once they have found the cheapest CC gun in the store, and the Glock Sheep who go for the most popular and well known brand because that's what the herd does. JMO. YMMV. :rolleyes:

[jocko]

oh m that 342 is just so so nice. I can't believe I sold mine. Not alot of 342 around either, mine was a pre lock also.

[Ken_K]

The CM9 is my EDC, it goes everywhere with me. On trips I keep the CM9 in my pocket and my G19 with 33rd mag within hands reach. ;)

[QuercusMax]

... Glock Sheep who go for the most popular and well known brand because that's what the herd does. JMO. YMMV. :rolleyes:

Amen. Kein Glock.

[AIRret]

Most often I carry my pm9 in a pj holster. But when it's shorts and tank top weather I carry it in a stealth holster.
20% of the time I carry my Sig 239 in a blade tech holster.
When I carry a BUG it's usually my ruger lcr 357. When it's cold I carry it in my coat pocket. I like the fact that I can get my hand on the gun without flashing and the fact that I can shoot through the coat if I have to. When I'am not wearing a coat and I still want the 357 as a back up I carry it in a Flash Bang holster. The Flash Bang bra holster is a lot more comfortable than a person would guess. I also carry the 357 when hiking, just in case the bg has fur, claws, and big teeth.
At night my 20 gauge shot gun and a 26 year old 226 Sig is my Primary.

[lowroad]

I have tried a LOT of set ups, full size 1911, CZ-Rami 2075, Glock 26, several others. The best combo for me, hands down has been, and for the forseeable will remain the CM9 in a pj's holster. I walk 4-5 miles a day in shorts, jeans, you name it as a part of a fitness regime, and this rig has never once been an inconvenience. I wear it around the house, to the credit union, you name it. If I am awake and showered, it's on me. I have never carried so much.

[les strat]

99% of the time, I pocket carry my CM9 w/CT, but sometimes carry my 642 in pocket or G30 OWB.

[Rufus]

In the car console - CW40
In my pocket - Sig 238

[East River Guide]

Depending on the ratio of risk to needed concealment, Glock 26 or Kahr P380.

[Planedude]

Weather permitting and it's cool enough for a cover shirt I carry my CW40. It rides in a Don Hume JIT slide with a matched up mag holder. Once everything heats up around TX, I pocket carry the P380 in a Super fly holster. I use a DeSantis pocket mag for the spare mag.
My wife commented the other day that I have not been carrying lately, so why renew the CHL? Ummmm, no, Renewal should be a forgone conclusion, for life dear...
Little does she know all the times the little Kahr has been with us on our worldly ride alongs. I guess that means I've been doing it right.

[bapple]

Kahr CM9 or Ruger SR9c, depending on my attire.

[pitandkahr]

My main EDC's are my XDsc's but I'm thinking the PM9 will possibly wiggle her way in the mix and quite possibly could become the main one...All are carried in IWB's by Tennessee Holster Company or Comp-Tac Infidels...

[Rio Vista Slim]

During the summer months (which for my part of Texas runs from April through October) I mostly carry

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a294/RioVistaSlim/IMG_3873.jpg
Kahr CM9

Or

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a294/RioVistaSlim/IMG_2994.jpg
S&W Model 637

Occasionally carry this, as well.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a294/RioVistaSlim/IMG_3944.jpg
Colt .45 ACP Defender

[QuercusMax]

*IF* I carry - which is rarely - it's my MK9.

But mostly I just carry my situational awareness, which has served me very well for many decades, needs no permit, has no liability issues, and is with me every minute I am awake.

[shipwreck]

Until some health problems recently, I have concealed a Beretta 92 for over 2.5 years straight now. My fav gun!

[7shot]

Mostly my K9 but I also carry my XDm compact 9mm...both are excellent.

[jimbar]

I like this one the best, lightweight, easy to conceal even when OWB with just a tee shirt.

[Barth]

Weekdays: S&W 640-1 Trigger job, Secret Service Grips and Big Dots. Weekends: Glock G27 Ghost Rocket 3.5, 4.16" Ported 357 SL Barrel & Big Dots

Cw9 IWB. Last one was a glock 19 OWB

[Armybrat]

[Harleyrider]

It depends on what I'm wearing, which dictates where I carry. For in-pocket carry, in jeans, I usually bring a KTP3AT. For in-pocket carry in looser pants, it's usually my CM9. For IWB, it's my CM9.

[Yogi 117]

Ruger LCP front right pocket always when leaving home. More & more been carrying the G26 also, in various manners, i.e. IWB, OWB, or Briefcase when working. Some day, I want a CM9 to replace the LCP. :eek: I say, Some Day!

[bulldog62]

Was a PM9, Picked up a CW40 and that ones carried more. Little bigger than the PM but still easy to conceal, bigger round and feels better in the hand.

[jocko]

http://i522.photobucket.com/albums/w349/ScoPro/Armybrat%20Album1/Guns005.jpg

I just trade my lcp evenup for a excellentbluntnoxe PM9, 2 mags,polymer box.

IMO the lcp is a darn nice pocket rocket, no fun to shoot for range use but the gun can take what ever u put through it. they basicaly copied the kel tek P3AT but they made a far better working gun IMO.

I just don[t carry my 380.

[Mudcat]

I carry my Glock 19 everyday all day in a M-Tac holster. I sometimes carry a P3AT ankle or pocket as well.
500 more rounds and I will be carrying my new CM9 every day all day either as a back up or as a primary.

[jocko]

My good man if ur comfortable carrying a G19 with 15 rounds, it would be a cold day in hell before I would drop down to 7 rounds; Just sayin.

[Barth]

That's Glock sweetness.
My sub-compact baby Glock G27/357 uses a G33 9 round flush mag.
But I carry twin G31 15 round re-loads.

Let the games begin

[Barth]

I have to say as well that when I get down to 5 or 6 rounds in a gun
I start to get the heebie Jeebies - LOL! Even with extra mags.

Plus we are talking revolver territory at that point.
I know it sounds strange - but I really prefer double J-Frames at that point.
My S&W 640/357 on a belt and my S&W 342 ti in my pocket as a NY reload.
Plus a couple of speed strips in my pocket and a Galco 2x2x2 pouch on my belt LOL!

I never pretended to be normal

I was reading Mas on GLockTalk self defense forum posting the same thing.
Double J-Frames with the second being a NY reload - LOL!

[Mudcat]

I don't want less but a change in job situation requires it. Otherwise I would stick with 15+1.

im a cop so i carry the dept. issued gun all the time....though i could carry something else off duty id rather their gun sit in an evidence locker than mine if God forbid i had to use it.

if and when i make it to retirement i have several i would rotate in and out from G20 or G29, or G17 or G26, PM9, or S&W 3953 or S&W 2" model 64 duo.....

[Sgt.K]

I'm a Glocktard so its a G26 with the Glock +2 in an Glock OWB Sport/Combat holster. I carry a G17 mag with a +2 in an Pass Port nylon flap mag carrier weak side.

I carry my DB PM9 on an ankle holster and the 7 round in the same type of mag pouch when I have to be absolutely concealed.

Both are stoked with 124 +p Gold Dots.

[PM9OWNER]

Ruger SR9c, until my PM9 fully breaks in and proves reliable! SR9c is just a little bulky for warm weather carry, great pistol though.

[mluikey]

99.9% of the time it's the PM9 AIWB. I have recently picked up a few other Kahrs that will go into rotation. Our state just passed open carry. I plan on still carrying the PM9 concealed however I will feel less paranoid about printing while riding my MC with my K9 (coming soon) or P9 riding on my hip OWB.
