Carry weapon

Let the debate begin..... Caliber preferences are also always nice to argue about.

[Swamp Yankee]

My choice is the 1911 format in Commander Lenght. Full size is too much to Conceal for me. A reliable well proven format that is easy to maintain. 45 Cal. 230gr punch in the chest, more than enough to make anyone sit down real quick and not want to get up for more.

1911, snubby or both.   

[Dharmaeye]

Kahr P9 with +P golden sabers

[Jkwas]

Keltec P3at pocket carry.
Taurus Millenium pro IWB or OWB when practicable

I really do Not care if its 1911 or revolver as long as as the caliber gets the job done.

I have carried the 1911PD 4.25", Glock22/19/27( I have also carried the G35/32/31/30/29/23/21/20) and a Jframe 642 for the last 8years. I also carried the SIG220 for a few months until I regained my confidence with the SW1911PD running 100% after having the ejector fixed. This winter also saw a M&P45darkearth on my hip and I loved shooting it but not packing it. Can not wait for the compact model to be available. Early in my LTC days it was a Berretta92 Centurion with the hammer down and safty off. Also a Preformance Center Shorty-Forty carried the same way.

For the last 3-4months it has been total G27(Galco Inside waist/stoked with 180gr GoldenSaber) and J-frame(inside pocket/Stoked with Speer ShortBarrel +P)

So if I own it, I train with it, then carry it, and base a honest opinion. It is very hard to beat the Glock/J-Frame combo right now.

oh and I also forgot............when competition season starts again the 1911 will be brought back out for carry. When I  practice 1-2 hours a day with a 1911 it just feels right carrying one. IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN MAN!!!!

It seems to me that your question is not very well designed.

It asks " what is your choice...".  Choice is often dictated or significantly impacted by circumstances.

My 'choice' would be my Ruger Redhawk 5.5 inch 45 colt.  Circumstances necessitate other wise and I carry a P3AT at all times with an extra magazine.

[CZShooter]

My choice wasn't really listed. When its practical...I carry my CZ 75B (cocked-and-locked). Its the gun I use for IDPA, so its the gun that I know I can draw, thumb the safety, and deliver a double-tap without thinking about it. But...at 2 1/2 pounds fully loaded, it can be a chore to carry sometimes.

When the CZ's not practical, I have a NAA mini revolver in 22 mag that I slip in my front pocket.   I'm waiting for that new Ruger LCP to show up in my local gun shop. That will become my "always" carry gun.
