What was your first EDC?

[Zjhagens]

Mine was an M&P9c that my dad bought for me when I got my CCW at 18. Don’t have it anymore, having traded it for a shield, which has also since been traded many times over. Kind of wish I did still have it though.

 

[OutdoorDad]

Buck model 110 folding hunter.

Pre 1974. Real brass bolsters and rose wood scales.

EDC right front pocket all through JrHigh+ HighSchool.

My Mom helped me select it. My money, her smarts.
She took pride in being from Arkansas and instructed me how to keep it sharp.

A far better EDC than a lot of firearms.

A Remington Rand 1911 bring back .45 ACP, EDC 1952/53, dad sold it.

 

[DadSmith]

Taurus model 44 44mag 6.5" barrel.
Open Carry
Not worth much but she's been reliable for years and thousands of full power 44mag rds through it. I now have a MRDS on it because my eyes aren't what they used to be.
She sits in the gun safe nowadays waiting for hunting season or range trips.

Glock 17, I got the Gen4 when it first came out. Been with me ever since. Given it a few upgrades recently, sent the slide in so I could fit a Holosun 509t.

Since my “Uncle Samual” trained me on the use, care, and cleaning, on one of his 1911A1’s I decided to get one of my own. So I got a Colt 70’s model Combat Commander.
I still have it.

my first edc was only about a decade ago. while attending school myself, the various college shootings and political climate had me stressing. I found a .327 Ruger LCR and kept that 6shooter attached to me everywhere. Very much had the “I’d rather have a court date than a funeral” mentality back then…

West German Sig P226 with Tritrium sights.

 

[Liberty Sanders]

Smith & Wesson Model 19, 2.5" bbl, .357 Magnum, bought in 1975 as I was about to graduate from the police academy, to be my off-duty gun. We were still required to carry six-guns in those olden days. In the years since I've carried everything from a 1911 to a pair of Colt Single Action Armys, but I recently returned to my roots and bought a Model 27 with the classic 3.5" bbl, the greatest fighting six-gun ever made.

Colt 2" Detective Special in 1977....No longer have it....wish I did

 

[Angrysauce]

Cz P07, still have it, no longer carry it. I love it and loved it so much I didn't want to crry it anymore. I put a threaded barrel on it and it made carry painful. It's my dedicated suppressor host now.
New carry is a P320x compact, much less love, but I shoot it well. My sweat has eaten the finish of every exposed surface at this point and I couldn't care less.

 

[loudgroove]

I jumped on the Glock train back then. A Glock 17. Open carried it for a while, but only when I didn't feel safe without it. I still have it and trained both my kids on it. They will fight over it when I'm gone, lol.

I did take it to the range recently, since I hadn't fired it since right before my daughter got her first gun. And quickly remembered why I have only ever owned one Glock. lol

S&W mod 13, 3", .357 Mag. Most of the current commonly owned and carried pistols did not exist in the 1970's. Still have it, have not carried for many years.

My first EDC was a used Ruger P95 in stainless that I bought used. It was a decent enough gun

Exactly why I didn't post my REAL first EDC. Tyrannosaurus Rex Femur. BUC (back up club) was Radius, but that was for really close quarters business.

To be honest, it just speaks volumes of the wisdom that is the brain trust of INGO...

I can’t really say, I don’t want this to turn into a gun registry.
