Well, I have seen him do a demo with a nice 2.5" Magnaported 66.
What does Jerry Miculek carry concealed?

As far as I know Miculek did at one time regularly carry a Smith and Wesson Model 13 that was magna-ported. I will dig up the video where he talks about it.

I'll bet that Jerry has taken the Glock Kool-Aid just like most folks.
I'm thinking - 9mm, Glock 19, IWB, at the 4 o'clock position.

He shots an H&K P30 in 9mm...He's sick of the smith and wessons already

Well, what difference does it make? He's not a superior shooter because of what he shoots. He's a superior shooter because of how much he shoots, and how he trains.

Considering he's sponsored by Smith & Wesson, I bet whatever he carries its a S&W ... so the closest he's probably going to get to the Glock Kool-Aid is an M&P.

Nonsense.
Everyone knows that the great Jerry Miculek carries Chuck Norris as his concealed weapon!
Or is it the other way around? I do not know; I think that is a question better left to aged sages and internet forums.

Interview with Jerry Miculek, the World's Fastest Pistol Shooter

ASD: Jerry, I know that you do a lot of competitive shooting but you also carry a concealed weapon?
Jerry: Yes, that is correct.
ASD: What firearm do you use as your everyday carry gun?
Jerry: I carry a Smith & Wesson J-Frame a lot. If I am in my vehicle I will carry a full size M&P pistol and a couple of magazines. But usually for concealed carry it would be a J-Frame.
ASD; Well, I know you are very proficient with a revolver so that seems like a natural fit for you. How does competitive shooting translate into defensive shooting?
Jerry: Well, just buying a handgun really means nothing to the user. You have to go out into the real world and use it. Competition, even if you went to an IDPA match, or with a couple of buddies and set up a stage of fire, and fired your carry gun, you become aware really quick of where you’re deficient and what you need to train on, low-light conditions especially is something you want to work with. So just bring whatever you think is a good combination and something you might carry already. Get out there and do some training with it and see where it’s weak. The only way to make is happen is to get out there and actually try to interact with the targets at that speed and that stress level. Because, if you ever have to do something like that you’re going to really be pumped up and odds you are not going to go through your chain of command and you are going to skip a lot of things.
ASD: I’ve noticed today we have a lot of people who are competitive shooters, mostly shooting AR15 or M4 type rifles, when they have a stoppage it throws their whole tempo off because they don’t practice stoppage drills. If they have a double feed or something they are kind of stuck.
Jerry: That’s one thing good about a revolver you can just keep on shooting. A hammerless J-Frame, like a 642, you can shoot it out of your coat pocket. It doesn’t hold a lot of ammo, but you gotta realize that in any kind of situation the preferable fight is to not even be in a fight to leave the area. The only time I’m ever going to have to use anything like that the guys going to have to be on top of me. I want the gun to function 100% of the time. I know it’s only five rounds, but I’m going to have five rounds.
ASD: Five rounds for you is probably the same as fifty rounds for most people who carry a gun every day. How many rounds a year do you fire for practice?
Jerry: I’ve shot fifty thousand, sixty thousand a year. But you want to realize, and I can’t stress this enough, is to get out in some actual environment. Put yourself in some different situations and try and get some stress up, and low-light, and shoot it at the speed that’s going to be realistic. Because when the adrenaline is going to dump on you, you are going to really be out of your element. The time frame is going to change, you are going to be rough on your trigger, so you want to know how to do these things when you are not at your best.
ASD: It is said that in a crisis you are only going to half as good as you are on your best day on the range.
Jerry: Even during my best matches I am probably 15% off what I usually do. And that is with a lot of practice. I have never actually shot my best while at a match.
ASD: That’s very true. You know when you have adrenaline dumping and your peers watching you, you have a lot of things going through your mind other than just working on fundamentals. Having brought that up, how important is practicing fundamentals and not doing all the fancy tactical stuff that people do?
Jerry: Well, worry about that after you have become proficient with whatever you choose to carry. I can’t stress that enough. Know the malfunction drills if you are shooting a semiautomatic pistol; that is going to be very important. Know your range limitations under that stress conditions. You’d be surprised how limited you get really quick on what you can do under stress. Don’t put yourself into a situation where you think you are going to rise to the occasion. You’re usually you are actually going to default.
ASD: Yes, sir, that’s right. You are going to default to you highest level of training and if you don’t have any you don’t have anything to fall back on.
Jerry: That’s right. You’d be really surprised how juiced up you get in a short period of time.
ASD: In many of these competitions I see people who have malfunctions and if they don’t practice them they don’t know how to clear them. That’s the ‘double-edged sword’ of having a gun that works all the time because when it does malfunction, it throws you off.
Jerry: (Laughs) Well, you should know your malfunction drills. You need to be very much aware that if something is not right you know how to fix it. Don’t just freeze up and look down at your gun. It’s not going to do you any good if it’s locked back or it’s not rotating, or whatever. You’ve got to keep moving.
ASD: Keep fighting and keep moving.
Jerry: Always move.
ASD: Well, Jerry this is an impromptu interview and I am fortunate that you came down to Corpus Christi today to shoot at this match. This is your second or third year here?
Jerry: I think this is my second year.
ASD: Every year we get a little bigger. I think it is because you come down here. Curt Miller is here today. We're getting some recognition and I hope we’re putting on a good match for you today.
Jerry: Oh yea. There’s enough rope around here for everybody to hang themselves.
ASD: Again, Jerry, thank you for your time.
