I carry a Springfield Armory XDs 9mm. Itās a single stack with palm safety and trigger safety. I just love their safety features. Iām never worried about keeping a round in the chamber while drawing or holstering my firearm.

I purchased the P225 because I like Sig the gun is a compact unlike the Shield subcompact the felt recoil is lighter ( the sig is 30 oz vs S&W at 18 oz ) they both have the same round capacity, the Sig has a double action first pull that I like and a decocker I just feel safer and like the size better.
The Shield will still be carried but my favorite is the P225 A1 better accuracy.

Youāll be happy to hear that Iām carrying Glock again.
Despite my joking, I really have grown to appreciate Glockenspiels and their quality/reliability.
This is mostly due to the Glockers on the forum here.
Thanks guys.

The mrs and I started with Glocks, found a master glocksmith north of Salt Lake, tuned them up for us. Tons of accessories for them. I enjoy watching some of Lennyās videos from glockstore. I have many many rounds thru my 17 and 19. Flawless. We converted to Sigs, but that is personal preference. The mrs and I had a chance to fire a glock racegun from of our trainers, that was unbelievably remarkable. We live in a world with so many choices, at least we have choices, I wish we could try them all!

After returning to the EDC world a few months ago I still havenāt decided what my long-term favorite is going to be. But for now I will say it is the S&W 442 in a pocket holster. The choice is driven by it having minimal lifestyle impact, and so I really do carry it everywhere I legally can. Including on the couch at home.

Depending on lifestyle, that can be a great choice. I wear cargo shorts most of the year, and am retired. Pocket carry is the best compromise for me. What ammo do you use, and do you carry a speed loader or speed strip?

I carry a QuickLoad StripLoader with QuickCase because of the combination of fitting in the pocket better than a speed loader, protected from lint or other contaminants, and more protected than a speedstrip. Not as fast as a speed loader, but at least I have extra rounds without a reliability concern. Without the QuickCase reloads are faster than a speedstrip, but getting the case off imposes an extra delay.
Iāve been going back and forth on what ammo to carry between Hornady Critical Defense and Winchester W (Train and) Defend, and right now have settled on the W Defend. Besides being a good non-+P round, I have enough to practice with and carry. With the Critical Defense I donāt have any practice ammo. But Iāll revisit ammo choice once ammo supplies return to normal.

I carry a full size CZ SP01 tactical steel frame 18+1 with two spare mags. Its big, heavy, hard to conceal, and at times uncomfortable. But I have never owned a gun I trust as much or shoot as well. So I will take a little discomfort and make sure I am carrying what I feel is the one I feel is the best if I ever need it to protect my family, friends or myself. Which is why I carry.

Glock 30, to have a .45 hand cannon with 11 rounds makes me not care what Iād be up against. For a shorter barrel and being a .45, itās almost unbelievable how far a target can be and still feel comfortable and confident with the accuracy and damage that can be done from this Uber reliable gem. I have to say Iāve never been a huge Glock fan, but got hooked on the range, especially the groupings I put up for a foreign ( to me ) firearm , I bought 3 that day ha! I have two .40s 2 9mm and a .45 ( considering another ) after being a long time sig sauer fan ( and still am ) Iām elated to have this new hand cannon ( in my mind the best you can carry - if you can handle it, on the market )
