    Someone brought up a good question in another thread which leads me to this. Throughout the years, I've learned some of us bought a Glock 19 and have been carrying it for ten years. Others love trading all the time and try out different rigs, switch up calibers multiple times. Phases, so to speak. And some change depending on the weather.

    What guns have you carried? Well say rules are minimum 2 months and primary sidearms only. I was one always trading around and switching up until the M&P Shield came along.

    glock 17, 19, 26
    m&p9, m&p9c, m&p shield
    sig p226
    ruger lcp
    kimber cdpii

    And you? I hope we get a 50ae or 500 s&w in here. :laugh:

    In my younger years, I carried a Ruger Super Redhawk 44 mag with a 7 1/2" barrel and a red dot scope in a shoulder rig during the winter months. It was not daily but pretty close. Mainly when I headed out to shop and just drive around.

    But regular EDC's

    Taurus PT111 6 years.
    Taurus 4" .357 Magnus occasionally
    RIA 1911 compact. 5 years
    PF-9 3 years
    XDm 9mm 1 year
    S&W 3913 9mm

    I still carry the[STRIKE] PF-9[/STRIKE] 3913 and the XDm.
