    This may have been beaten to death.
    If you have a ccw license, what do you carry?
    How and where do you carry it? And why did you chose this weapon? How long have you carried it? Do you have a rotation of other guns?

    I carry a G33. I carried a 20 year old G 27 and figured i would upgrade to something newer and thought i would like the 357 cartridge, i do. I used to carry a shield in 9 and 45 but find the glock more comfortable, but the shields were not uncomfortable. I carried one friday and the glock feels better on me. I use an inside the waist band kydex. I have never spent more than $35 on a kydex IWB and haven’t found one i don’t like...a lot.

    Well when I first got my permit here in Md. I started with a 38 revolver (S&W) , 2 months in I went to a MP .40 , then after Trump won the election I went to a Glock 30s (.45) for the 45th president I was so happy he won I did a dance at 3 am or so when I woke up .

    When I travel I also pocket carry a .380 in my motorcycle vest pocket or sometimes front pant pocket . I very seldom rotate . I never thought I would buy Glock but they are so reliable and simple .

    I screwed up and thought i was in the handgun section. With appologies to the admin, can this be moved to the proper section. I am entitled to call it a sr moment.

    Glock 30 is my main carry.
    I also have a Sig 228 in 9mm that I carry.
    Recently I got a CZ P-O1 and a P-10C. Love shooting those guns. I will be looking for holsters.

    A 9mm Springfield XD-e, because it fits my hand well, and since I cut my teeth on a 92, the DA/SA-with-hammer appeals to my safety sensibilities. In lighter clothes or other concealment-challenge situations, the compromise for now is a Ruger LCP2. Because the damn thing just disappears.

    Primarily carried GLOCKs IWB for the past 15 years, with a Kahr PM9 in the pocket in the summer. Went with a Sig 365 a couple months ago, and it quickly kicked my G27 off my belt, and the Kahr out of my pocket, about the same size as the tiny Kahr, but shoots as well, and has the capacity of the baby GLOCKs. It's really comfortable carried AIWB with a Lexholster, and near invisible under a t-shirt. I carry my G19 on occasion when I want more gun, mostly OWB.

    glock 32 gen 4, their mid size .357 sig. little more gusto than 9mm. glock reliability and simplicity. majority of the time in a owb holster at 4-4:30, occasionally appendix 1:00 or so. occasionally i'll carry the glock 23 (.40) or 19 (9mm) just because, also their mid size. and occasionally glock 26 (9mm subcompact) generally in aiwb.

    Mostly carry a Lightweight Commander but change out for one of the High Power's or a P938 depending on circumstances.

    When visiting America, LCP in pocket.
    Now experimenting with Walther PPS M2 IWB 4 o'clockish.

    The LCP because it's tiny and reliable. PPS M2 because it's thin and accurate.

    In MD, a decent knife.

    I carry one of three- Colt Combat Commander, 4" Ruger Security Six .357 or a 6" Smith & Wesson 586 (rarely, though, because it's huge.)

    Lots of candidates .

    Of late , P90 and M36 S&W most frequently , but P225 and 2in K Frames would suit equally well .

    I generally dislike IWB , and favor Pancakes, made from dead cows .

    My carry is a SA XD sub compact mod2 9mm. Love it. That is when I'm fortunate enough to be at home or in 39 other states besides MD. Out and about in the People's Republic of MD, I carry a TASER Pulse.
