How many EDC guns do you have?

[tomrkba]

I do not subscribe to the notion of "Beware the man with one gun; he may know how to use it." Most people I know with only one gun are not proficient shooters and will never attend training. Enthusiasts tend to have multiple guns and most put in the time.

Furthermore, the whole single manual of arms idea as related to training is bunk. A shooter should be able to pick up any gun and shoot well with it. A person with experience with only one gun will likely have trouble with other guns under stress. I have watched good 1911 and Glock shooters fall apart when handed a SIG, Beretta or even a tuned revolver.

Trigger control is the most important aspect of handgun shooting and is the most difficult skill to master. I spend quite a bit of time working with different actions. My J-Frame is improving my shooting since I must be very careful with trigger control in order to group well with it. Do not become dependent upon one gun's trigger for good performance!

LCR most of the time - 1911 some of the time - GP100 occasionally. Sometimes the LCR goes along with one of the others.

I voted 4, but it really shows an evolution in my CC pistols:

SIG 230SL:


Les Baer “Stinger” (CCO)


Walther PPS-9


Walther PPQ-9


95% of the time it's the PPS, followed by the PPQ. It looks like at 52 years old I finally discovered the benefit to tactical Tupperware".

[el Godfather]

These days its: Glock 19, H&K P30, DW vBob.

I don't get a carry rotation. I can see having a smaller gun when you have to go for a deeper carry but a bunch of different guns around the same size. I just don't get that. Carry what you shoot best and can conceal. If you are rotating five then four out of five times you are not carrying your best gun. If I have to use a gun I would just as soon be carrying my best gun. I just don't get it.

 

[osteodoc08]

I have several semiautos with a concealed carry setup. A Kimber pro CDP, M&P 9c, 40c and 9mm pro, sig P226 and actively looking for a p229. Had a P238 and considering a 938. Also looking at a 45 1911 compact for carry.

I shoot at least once a week with several of my guns. I usually will rotate out my EDC every few weeks depending on mood and weather, however, my M&P compact models are my go to for the most part.

 

[StrutStopper]

I voted 1 because I only carry my pocket 9, but I suppose I have 5 that could do the job if I had holsters for them.

 

[g_one]

2. One in my pocket or IWB (LCP now, used to be a G26) and a gov't 1911 that follows me into my truck, or goes open on my hip when spring finally returns to Wisconsin I get back on the motorcycle

 

[wrs840]

Depends on where I'm going, what I'm doing, what I'm wearing.

S&W 5904 in a Crossbreed IWB is my most carried, and I actually have three of them. It's a utilitarian favorite for this guy who grew up before polymer. A Ruger LCP in a good Leather Wallet Holster is also very common for me, as is a 2-1/2"bbl S&W 637 pocket-carried in a Desantis Nemesis. I carry always, the only thing that changes is the place and circumstances.

 

[Sebastian the Ibis]

If it is more than one it is not your everyday carry.

 

[WYO]

. . . unless you carry more than one gun every day. It could be simultaneously, it could be sequential. . . .

 

[needmorecowbell]

I have 4 that are good carry options to me and I carry the largest one I can comfortably carry based on what I'm wearing that day. Start with my CZ P01, then down to my Kahr CW9, then 642 and if all of the above don't work then my Keltec P3AT. Seldom need to go below the 642 though. P3AT usually only used for jogging/biking or as a BUG. Of course, could always carry my 1911 or full-sized CZ 75b, but never do since I consider my P01 big enough.

 

[Rail Driver]

I voted 2 guns, different types - a full size 1911, and an M&P40c with thumb safety. I carry them about equally often.

 

[Teachu2]

Just curious as to what kind of pain in the rump that is?

I have to take the new addition to the Sheriff's office and tell them which one to replace. They type a new permit, charge me $3, and away I go. They get a bit peaved if I do it often, so I try just to do it on renewal dates.

 

[JoePfeiffer]

When I carry, it's my cz82. If I end up with an LCP, that'll become the one.

 

[Bovice]

Well, if you carry a single gun every day, wouldn't you only have the one? Any switch ups mean it wasn't carried every day. Therefore not EDC.

Lol I'm just kidding.

 

[RBid]

One primary carry pistol, and one light clothing CCW.

 

[MedWheeler]

Primary is a Kel-Tec PF9. While traveling to and from work (a no-carry site), it's a P32. Sometimes I like to throw on a revolver instead (while off work.) It's becoming more and more often that it's my dad's old Ruger Police Serive Six, but it's also sometimes his Charter Arms Undercover, dated from 1966 (or mine, from ten years later.)

 

[Landric]

I answered four, though that is somewhat disingenuous, because I only carry at most two "everyday". The guns in my "rotation" are:

S&W 642-1 .38 Special
Ruger SP101 DAO .357 Magnum
Beretta 84FS .380 ACP
S&W M&P45 Mid-Size .45 ACP

I carry the Beretta off-safe, and its design is such that, combined with my holster, it is never going to be accidentally on-safe. So, all of them are point and shoot propositions. I don't even notice the DA/SA transition, so that is a non-issue.

Still, the guns are carry the most are the 642 and the M&P45, the SP101 after that, and the 84FS the least. Now that the weather is changing the 84FS might replace the M&P45 in the order though. We will see.

 

[FitGunner]

Three: .380, 9mm single stack, and 9mm double stack

 

[guyfromohio]

Sig 239 and Smith 642. Although, after I do some reliability testing and receive my Supertuck, my CZ 75D PCR might replace the Sig.

 

[postalnut25]

Thanks to carrying guns for a living, I really do carry 3 guns every day. My Kimber full-size, my Kimber ultra carry, and a S&W 642 all ride on me while on duty.

 

[BigShep85]

Only one

Even when i carry another i always have the one

 

[Quiet]

My carry rotation, depending on clothing/weather/activity of the day...
(top) Glock 39, Kel-Tec P-32, Glock 30 (bottom) S&W Model 325PD, H&K P-7M8

Mostly ends up being the Glock 39 and the Kel-Tec P-32.

 

[herkyguy]

Sig P238 or XDs, both now in Crossbreed OWB holsters.
