I carry a standard size (4") xd40 for EDC. Well yesterday we were on the way out the door in a hurry so i grabbed up the wifes Taurus PT111 in an Unkle Mikes clip on holster so i would have SOMETHING.
No, it never ends. The search for the perfect gun is long and fun.
My primary carry weapon is a Glock 20 or 29 depending (the 29 sits in the fanny pack).
I wanted something more than the KelTec .32acp I used as a pocket gun so I joined the dark side and got a Walther PPS in .40 (the dark side meaning .40 cal) after Glock once again failed to introduce a single stack compact 10mm. The Walther has turned out to be the gun I carry most on my hip since I can conceal it in an OWB holster, so the Glock 20 has been mostly been my woods gun and the 29 rides in the car in its fanny pack. I think over the 19 years I've carried a gun, I've had about twenty different EDC guns, with the G29 being my favorite overall (15+ years I think).
Nope, it wont. I used to carry my full size m&p EDC until I purchased a S&W 908 (single stack 8rd) compaded to the 17 + 1 in the M&P....so different I hardly carry the M&P for conceal carry anymore....
Of all the guns I have owned and carried for PD, I keep going back to my Ruger SP101 in .357mag with the Meprolight Front NS and the Badger Boot Grip...it's small, medium weight (29 oz, loaded) but very accurate, and with Hornady's 158 JHP's, it packs more than sufficient punch! I usually just grab a speed-loader (5-rounds) or an ammo-wallet (18 rounds), throw that in my other pocket, or back pocket, and I'm good to go.
I've carried it IWB, OWB, Cross-Draw, Ankle Holster, front pocket, Belt Pouch, leg pocket, coat pocket, etc (you get the picture). I've had it since Christmas 1994 and it's been my favorite PD gun ever (even a few of my friends have drank the Ruger kool-aid and followed me down the SP101 path.)
I've had four (4) Glocks, two (2) Bersa's, along with four (4) other Ruger Revolvers, that I've carried, and I always go back to what I'm most comfortable with!
A never ending tale... there's always a newer, better carry gun. Here is my history of primary carry guns, not to say that I don't occaisionally carry something else or one from the past.
it never ends
it is like some kind of sickness and the only cure is one more for now
next you will start making up excuses after that you will start hiding them so no one knows how many you got LOL
Yep, just when you think you've got the perfect carry piece something else comes along. I've went from a 45acp smith, to a 9mm, to a 38spcl. snubby. Currently I like the small lightweight 38 revolver, but I'm sure that will change soon!!
