What Is Your Every Day Carry Handgun?

[GaryinIllinois]

I carry daily except to legally prohibited places. My first choice for carry is my H&K P2000sk in either 40 S&W or 357 Sig (I have both barrels). Close second choice is H&K P30sk in 9mm. Both of theses pistols are configured with Light LEM triggers. If not one of these two, I will carry my Sig P250 SC chambered in 45acp. My preferred carry pistols are double action only with exposed hammers as I prefer the convenience and safety of hammer fired DAO pistols.

CZ Shadow 2

Do you conceal that? I use a CZ TSO for USPSA and it's by far my favorite pistol. But I can't imagine using it for edc. Those suckers are big and heavy.

 

[AlNyhus]

S&W 442 38 Spl with 125 gr. wadcutters.

 

[Infrequent Shooter]

Sig P250, midsize, in my truck. If I were to carry, I would probably get a SW, stainless, no hammer, 38 revolver, old school. Most places in Texas have a no carry sign, which makes it a felony to go get a gallon of milk at HEB or Tom Thumb, packing.

 

[D-4297]

Usually it's a Glock 22 , .40 S&W . 185gr Truncated HP ... When I need to be more "stealthy" , It's a Makarov 9 x 18 , with a JHP, +P round .

It depends on the weather and where I'm going, what I'm doing.

Social events, my Springfield Armory 1911 Champion.
185gr Sierra JHP or 185gr LSWC.

Tooling about everyday travels.
FN509C, 9mm with 125gr handload Sig V Crown.

30.06 and 30.07 are misdemeanor and only if the sign is of legal size and placement. If you are conceal carrying correctly no one will ever know and 99% don't care. 99% of establishments do not have legal 30.06 or 30.07 signs at their entrances.

Sig 365 or Ruger LCPMax.

I think one of them is a felony. I could be wrong. the sign says it is a felony to carry inside store.

 

[SecondsCount]

I appendix carry an HK P30SK whenever I Ieave the house. Wallet...keys...gun...go

Ditto. 9mm LEM

I think a concealed carry permit will offset this. I’m sure someone here will know the law on it.

 

[Precisionhunter417]

In town, Springfield Hellcat 9mm with Sig 9mm 365 115 V-Crown Hollow Points.

In the sticks, S&W 629 Classic on the hip with 240 FMJ handloads @ 1650.

I sure do!

What is your every day carry handgun? And what are the situation or circumstances when you do not carry a pistol?

As a general rule of thumb i don't carry unless i am going to the range or walking around the property.
everything gets left at home if going to the shops. i don't really want to draw undue attention if possible.

G43X. I carry 95% of the time and the 5% I do not, the pistol is still within reach. AR is cased on my back seat while in my truck.

 

[coorslight]

SA Hellcat or S&W 442 in warm Weather, something a little bigger in colder weather

 

[distinguished]

Glock 19, 1911, S&W mod 19 snubbie. Lately, I have been looking at other options to reduce size and weight due to having bladder cancer surgery. Fortunately, it was caught early so, they didn't have to remove it. Undergoing treatments now.

If you're going to go with a stainless S&W 38 revolver, you might as well bump that to a .357 to gain the extra versatility. The only difference is that the cylinder is .125" longer. I have a model 60 in 357. It was my first handgun. My officers model 1911 was easier and more comfortable to conceal. I like revolvers, but the cylinders make them really thick.
