Top 5 carry guns

[VERT]

Glock 19
1911
Beretta 92
XD 45
and for the [STRIKE]Ladies[/STRIKE] real man...
38 special

Fixed it for you. I know women who carry the Glock 19/26 and 1911s in several of their formats, lots of women in the military use the Beretta, and my god mother absolutely loves her XD in .45.

Some folks just make things too complicated. I like to keep it simple.

Taurus 24/7 Pro (9mm)
Taurus 709 Slim (9mm)

With those, I can do anything I need to do with a carry gun. If I need more power, I use my Marlin 1894c in .357/.38 or my Mossburg 12ga. If I need less power, I use my Ruger 10/22. No need for five pistols.

Been meaning to ask since we got our .357 lever guns around the same time, still enjoying the Marlin? I haven't been able to get the Rossi out enough but I like it.

As far as the OP,

I like my:
S&W 686 4"
Glock 27
Argentinian Colt Sistema

I want to add:
CZ 75
S&W J frame

I honestly wouldn't worry about it too much, carry what you like and can shoot. Try as many as possible and then buy as many as possible. Everyone needs at least 3 firearms for each occasion.

I'm partial to my chosen carry gun. S&W 640 Airweight 38 spc +P. Blackhawk Serpa paddle holster or Uncle Mikes pocket holster. I also changed the stock grips for a Rogue monogrip. It adds a little bulkiness, but that's an ok trade for me. I don't have the hands of a 10 year old girl, so I needed a little bit more to hold onto. After I switched grips (and fired a few hundred rounds), my shot group at 10 yards improved drastically.
