What is your EDC gun?

[HeavyDuty]

LCP, G43 or G33.

 

[Jack19]

Glock 26 with two spare G17 mags.

I'd like to carry something lighter/slimmer, but, my brain won't let me leave the house with a low round count. The days of a one, or two, bad guy EDC gun are long gone.

 

[Ironicaintit]

98% of the time, I've got my browning hipower, with a spare mag.
The other 2%, it's a sig p238, with 2 spare mags.

I practice a lot with both.

I don't know how some of y'all do it; alternating between pistols with different styles of controls.

 

[Eagle103]

LCP II with a CT laser. Huge improvement over the open sights so I'm good for skunks as well as smelly two legged varmints.

 

[Chuck R.]

Most of the time, HK P2000 (V1 light LEM) in 357Sig (spare .40 barrel), reworked by Lazy Wolf Guns and plated in Robar NP3+:



When I can't conceal that, Walther PPS M1 9mm:


Both wear Trijicon HD sights

Typically, my usual retirement CCW pocket-holster choices are one of my several J-frames or one of my LCP's.

For those times when a larger belt gun choice seems prudent, it'll be one of my smallish 9's, .40's or .45's.

With the exception of the LCP's, which I didn't pick up until a couple years after I retired, I'm mostly carrying the same guns for retirement CCW as I did for off-duty.

 

[Ks5shooter]

Sig 230,M&P shield 9mm,Kimber k6s

 

[TarDevil]

LC9s, daily. Speer Gold Dots, 124gr.

 

[mbok1947]

LCR .357 pocket or OWB for simple excursions, M&P .45 Shield OWB for mall/major public outings. Usually one extra speed strip or magazine for whichever.

I do not “rotate.” I do train to use three systems, which are sufficiently different that I will not confuse them; each is instantly recognizable at first touch.

I am about to enter a transition period, so what is true today may not be true when I am busy being grandpa, as Grandson #2 is due in late December, and I will be using much accumulated leave before and after that time, and my retire from LEO-ing in early 2018. For reference, Texas had no general concealed-carry for private citizens until the Nineties, so I started carrying handguns during personal time only after being sworn-in as a police officer in March 1983. I have carried daily, quite consistently, since that time.

My newest handgun system is 9mm Gen4 Glocks. Forty to fifty hours a week, I am likely to be wearing my duty rig with the holster and mag pouches for Glocks. The Safariland 6360 holster will accomodate my G34, G17, and G19 pistols. A G26 is my hide-out gun. Simple convenience means that I am likely to tote a G19 or G17 during personal time. The draw-back is that I am just not as accurate with Glocks, as with my other two systems, at extended range.

My oldest handgun system is the 1911, starting in 1982 or 1983, though I did not regularly carry a 1911 until 1990, and there have been gaps in my 1911 ownership. My two current 911 pistols are Les Baer, full-sized 5” models, acquired in 2000 and 2016. I have a duty rig set-up for the 1911, but it does not work so well inside our newest, smaller patrol vehicles. Several times a week, a 1911 may well be in my concealment holster, during personal time.

My second system, in order of acquisition, is the broad category of DA revolvers, made by S&W and Ruger. I bought my first S&W revolvers in 1983, the year I started attending a police academy, and I have never been without 2+ S&W revolvers since that time, though, regrettably, I no longer have my earlierst ones. I added a Ruger GP100 about 1990 or 1991, and have really loved Rugers since that time. I am likely to carry a Ruger SP101 when working in the yard or carport, and therefore not wearing a normal holster. I recently added a Kramer IWB rig for my newest revolver, a Wiley Clapp edition of the GP100. I may well increase the carry hours of my revolvers after I retire, especially the ones with spur-less hammers, which may be a best practice when carrying toddler and infant grandsons much of the time.

 

[khari]

I carry a Ruger LCR .327 FM 90% of the time. Every now and then I grab my Sig P938.

 

[Great Scot]

I usually carry my RM380 and an extra mag during warm weather. When it's gets cooler and I'm wearing a coat, I switch to a Glock 43. Occasionally I'll throw a Beretta 21 loaded with Stingers into my pocket if Im running a quick errand.

 

[Trunk Monkey]

 

[tkroenlein]

Kahr CM9 in a Galco Pocket Protector. I haven't carried anything different in about a year.

 

[Creature]

A gen 3 Colt Detective loaded with B.B. 158gr LSWCHP +P.

 

[jimbo555]

Hkp2000sk 9mm

 

[kevincallahan]

Retired LEO and I carry a Sig 290rs most all the time. I carried a model 36 off duty for years and would still consider it a good gun to get our of a close in scrap.

 

[Haywood]

Two of these daily.

 

[Good Ol' Boy]

LC 9s with a spare. I've become more proficient with it than I ever thought I'd be.

 

[Alte Schule]

With cooler weather coming I recently added a Springfield 3" EMP 1911 in 9 mm. My warm weather T shirt and shorts EDC is usually a S&W 637 but I plan on replacing the five shot Smith with my new to me 6 shot Colt Detective Special. Need new grips and a little more trigger time before I do.

 

[Jim NE]

Original version LCP mostly in these last few days of warm weather. For a revolver, a late Interarms Rossi 68 with IWB carry. As cold weather approaches, I'm thinking about my fine recent FNS 40c because my heavier clothing will conceal a bigger holster better. Or if I decide to go 9mm, either a Ruger LC9 (with the original long trigger pull) or a Taurus PT111 G2.

 

[huntsman]

G23, I've pretty much abandoned my LCP that was the EDC for 8 years.

 

[PabloJ]

G23, I've pretty much abandoned my LCP that was the EDC for 8 years.

Having owned one briefly I can tell you that the only good thing about LCP is the ability to hide it just about anywhere on the clothed body. In every other way it basically sucks.

 

[bullseye308]

View media item 51This is my main carry, I'll occasionally carry a 17 with the same light IWB for CC.

 

[bluzman]

Sig P938 Extreme
