What do you carry?
Like other have said, I have searched for years for the "perfect" carry gun, and in that time, I have tried Sigs, Glocks, H&Ks, Smiths, NAA, Ruger, and probably a few more but have concluded that there is no such thing as "perfect".

My current concealed carry gun is a Para Carry 45 acp, and for now, it is working great.

I have NEVER EVER carried only one gun... And depending on what my assignment was, many times I rivaled Chic Gaylord...

Some days I still do...

A handgun is a TOOL.

I define "carry" as concealed on my body, but I do "pack" a Glock 17 and at least one rifle in my truck. Cool

I use a Taurus Millenniun. I like the feel of the Taurus but with a shot barrel, its hard to to be accurate.. patriot

Colt Custom Shop 1991ZZ with a sticker that says "M1991A1 G.I., 5" barrel, Custom". The gun is one of 30 made to a set of custom specifications. I have worn it to the point that the slide needs reblued. While it is at Colt for reblue I will be carrying an Olympic Arms Matchmaster made as part of a special run for the Sherrif's Departments of a few counties. Both guns are set up for serious work rather than for competition.

My preference for carry is the Colt.

It varies;

CZ 75 B .40 + 2 mags
Colt Delta Elite stainless 10mm + 2 mags
Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Spl stainless + 2 loads (old 3" model, bobbed hammer)

I am currently looking to turn my 6" 29-2 into a 4" so I can carry it too. I am in negotiations on an original barrel.

Most of the time I carry my Kahr K-40 Elite. As it gets hotter here and fewer clothes are involved I will go to my S&W 642 or Ruger LCP. My Sig P-239 rides in the truck with me.

I carry a S&W 342-1 in a Myka pocket holster with a speed loader in my other pocket. I like the reliability, simplicity and safety of a double action revolver.

.45 M&P full-sized. On occasion, a 9mm M&P, G27, or even a S&W642. No pipsqueak .380 for this kid.

M&P fullsized .45 for everyday carry plus a S&W642 Centennial for a BUG. Depending on the circumstances, I'll also carry an M&P full-sized 9mm and/or G27.

STI DUTY CT with STRAIGHT EIGHT night sights.

4.15 inch upper.

I'm using 230 grain Gold Dots at the moment.

It has a rail for attaching a light, laser or bayonet Wink

I'm seriously thinking of getting one of the new RUGER LCRs with Crimson Trace laser grips for a back up.
