During my 30+year career my off duty's were Colt Detective Special, S&W Model 37, Sig 239, and my current LEOSA carry's are S&W 9mm Shield or more so a Glock 43. I also carry a Kel Tec P3AT in my pocket. Yeah I know what your thinking about the Kel Tec. Mine has been cleaned up and has been flawless for many years. Wouldn't say that about all of them however.

I carried a J for over 40 yrs. until I got the no laser .380 last year and have carried it until recently. The 340pd is lighter, shoots great and allows me to return to my revolver comfort level.

What was listed as an evil bay
Rb k frame monogrip didn't match pictures or the included box. I roled dice, made low offer and ended up with these grips for j frame rb.

I'm with Old Cop. I have a lot of choices, because I collect guns, and have been doing it for a long time, but the most carried gun is this 340 PD, with Speer 135 gr Gold Dot .357 Mag Short Barrel cartridges. Pocket carried in a Galco Horsehide holster:



This holster will fit most of my 2" snubbies, even the slightly larger Colts. Here it is with my M&P 340, using the same loads as the PD:



At twice the weight of the 340 PD, the 640-1 Pro Series has a lot going for it, though, and I do sometimes carry it. It has Tritium night sights front and rear, and you can drift them for windage. It is cut for moon clips, which is an interesting option, or you can load in the conventional way. My choice is to keep the rounds in the revolver in a moon clip for positive ejection, and load from a speed strip. The extra weight gives more comfort when actually shooting, and this is a very nicely made and businesslike snubby. It fits in the same holster as the others:



For day after day carry, though, I tend to stick with the PD. That 11 Ounce weight may hurt at the range, but even when loaded, and with the weight of the holster, it is still less than a pound, and therefore can be carried even in warm weather attire, and doesn't weight down your clothes, and is therefore more likely to be there all the time. Note: I refuse to own an "Internal Lock" Smith. I don't trust them, and I don't like their looks. Thankfully, Smith offers most of the Centennial style revolvers in the "No Lock" configuration. A small blessing in this over-lawyered world!!! I know that there is no empirical data showing any malfunctions due to the locks, but I do not feel confident with one in my firearm. But that's just me. YMMV.

Best Regards, Les

I have carried a CS 45 for over twenty years. I believe in carrying the same pistol all the time. You are totally familiar with it, and have qualified with it many times. I carry three extra loaded magazines for it. I use Federal Hydra Shok 165 gr. personal defense ammunition.

Carry a favorite: Shoots tight groups, has the smoothest double action, 8 rounds of 45, great sights, and weighs in loaded at 22 ozs.
Do not pocket carry with it in the summer time! Kahr CW45 couple thousand rounds through this little smoker and no malfunctions. Cost $328.00 OTD

99% of the time from 1980 till ten minutes ago I've carried a Colt Commander in .38 Super.

The first one was a 1952 vintage gun and carried till 2007. A second 1952 was outfitted with night sights and full hard chrome and is about all I carry to this day.

I've also qualified with a Glock 19 and S&W 6906 that was my last duty gun before I retired. But they only get carried where my home state CC license isn't valid.

I carry a Kahr P9 or a Kahr P380. Those were my last off duty guns when I was carrying an issued Glock 23 as a duty weapon. That is since January of 09.

Lately it has been a 9mm LCR in a Mika, but when I go to town I add a belt gun ( Recently has been a mix between my Model 59 & 4" 64-3, both in Sourdough Pancakes) .... ;o)

Edited to add: Recently re-gained possession of my Model 469 from my Son, it has pretty much replaced the Model 59. I have been carrying the 469 daily for the past few weeks in a Bellyband with a spare magazine in a belt pouch on the opposite side. Have retained the LCR in the pocket with all the craziness going on. Stay safe out there ;o)

Mine is a md. 60 I purchased in 1973 for $67.50 new.
I've since added laser grips.
I also have a Shield 9mm, but haven't put enough rds. through it yet.
