From 1989 to 2008 this was what carried on me all the time. A Frankenstein Government model in 45 ACP and spare 8 round magazine...plus 2 more magazine in the cupholder of my truck.

On November 25 of 2008 I had a car crash and injured my back. I couldn't support the weight of the Government model and spare magazine anymore so I had to switch. I started carrying this Glock 19 without spare mag but after few years I added the spare 15 round mag...plus another spare mag in my cup holder of my truck.

My back is never going to get back to what it was before the accident and it can only get worse so now I try to carry minimal weight. In last few years I started carrying this Kimber Ultra Carry in 45ACP plus a spare mag.

When my back gets really bad I just carry this in my pocket.
