Oh my, I missed the memo that I need to carry a system. ;)

In that light, I suppose my system is a mass of gray matter in my skull which is linked to two eyes, two ears, and (most importantly) two feet.
Other than that, of the dozens of 'carry guns' which I own, I find that I mostly have a .32acp pocket pistol on me at any given moment.

Mine...

Gun: CZ 75D PCR
Caliber: 9x19
Modifications: sights only.
Sights: Meprolight tritium 3-dot.
Ammo: 124gr+P or 147gr Federal HST
Holster: FIST Inc. adjustable IWB.
Belt (if applicable): Cabella's double-duty.

or...

Gun: Taurus M85 2.5"
Caliber: .38 Special
Modifications: bobbed hammer.
Sights: fixed; front painted white.
Ammo: Winchester 125gr SJHP
Holster: pocket
Miscellaneous: Quickstrip in other pocket.

The CZ goes with me wherever I can carry if I won't have to leave it in the car. I would, if I had a glovebox that would fit it and a holster that didn't need me to take my belt off. The Taurus comes whenever I need to leave it in the car, or if I'm making a five-minute run for a burger or something.

I do have at least a knife on me 24/7, at home, work, even school--the student handbook allows for 'regular pocketknives'--and that is usually a 2.5" Kershaw assisted-open.

Black Hills +p 115gr hp
Extra mag
I have an alternitive carry method that works for me: I noticed more and more guys where I live are carrying a so called man-purse, messenger bag. And increasingly a small one to carry the new ipad and kindles and other "essential" electronics. So, I bought a bag for this purpose, a black common bag from staples, see them everywhere now. It zips open from the top, has a nice padded pocket that fits the glock great. I can choose easily where to carry this and where to leave it in the trunk. Again, this works for me, maybe not everybody. (also sometimes I leave the 26 at home and carry the kimber pepper gun instead, the legality of it is great, kind of sissy I know, but!:rolleyes:
