I have carried all types over the last 38 years. While I enjoy carrying a Model 66 with a four inch barrel, I only carry a S&W 1911 now. Totally comfortable, very easy to conceal, no problem with fast access.
I like to carry a gun in my front pants pocket. For about two years I have been caring a S&W 637. Last week I bought a Kahr P380. It seems to fit in my pocket better and is a tad lighter. I have been wanting one of these for a long time but they were just to much money. I found a new one from an individual and jumped on it. I think I am going to like it. Don
I always used to carry a 2.5" 66 but these days I pretty much carry a Kimber Ultra CDPII in .45 acp exclusively. Occasionally on really hot days I may grab my Model 60 Ladysmith .357.
I like the third generation autos by Smith & Wesson. Some of the best autos ever make. Mine is a 3913 carried in a Crossbreed Super Tuck. The holster offsets the weight of the gun. I forget I have it on. Very reliable weapon.
I'm a revolver man, myself. If I leave the house I've either got my S&W 638 in my right pocket or my 2-1/2" 686 in my Smartcarry. I've got a new holster ordered for the 686 and am planning to go IWB with it.
