Largest carry gun you routinely carry?

[Bill Bates]

This old transition 3rd model .44 Special spends I lot of time on my belt.

 

[jag312]

My much beloved Smith & Wesson 696, with my badge engraved on the side plate.

 

[robertrwalsh]

Glock 20. Sometimes a 4" or 5" N-frame. Both though are more rare than routine.

 

[TTSH]

Keyword (that so many seem to have missed): "Routinely"

In my case, that would be one of my Ruger LC9s pistols.

 

[Ogandydancer]

Sig P229R either in 40S&W or 357 sig.

The 2 largest guns in my ccw rotation are a DW .38 Super, 629-1 and 627 UDR, but there are others that are similarly sized.

Largest gun that I carry now is my Beretta Cougar 8040.
Always carried Smith 36's and 37's prior and my Glock 27
Carried a Smith PPK/S for a brief period.

While I don't have them anymore, the largest guns I regularly carried were a 3" 65 and, on occasion, a Glock 23, both concealed. The 65 was a bit easier to carry discreetly than the 23, but neither was particularly difficult with the right gear.

Currently my EDC is a 642, but my only other option is a Beretta 92FS. I haven't ruled out carrying the 92, but I'd have to wait until I can get some suitable carry gear and it's just not a priority right now.

When I worked as an armed guard, the largest gun I carried was a 4" 686, but that was open carried in a uniform holster. The funny part is that the company policy restricted us to .38 Special 158gr LRN. Also, the guns had to remain on site, so none of us knew if they even worked. *sigh*

When out in the far desert with the telescope, either a 5.5 inch Redhawk in 44 Mag or a 6 inch 686+.

For concealed it's an LCP, with or without an LC9s for backup.

 

[pinduck]

3in model 686-4 plus.

 

[Lostaro]

A 4" 686 or Glock 17 are the largest handguns I carry concealed....actually they're the largest I own

Have to be dressed for cold weather to hide those comfortably....so they're getting carried a bit more often right now.

My first ccw gun was a colt Python 6" barrel. Then came the RedHawks I 44 mag shoulder holstered. Ccw these for many decades. I have a ruger SBH 44mag with a 10.5" barrel with a shoulder holster but haven't ccw it yet.

Once upon a time I carried 5" 1911 IWB on daily basis. I then moved to commander sized 1911's. These days you'll find me with a Glock 19 or 23 99% of the time. The other 1% is broken up between my 442 or my Glock 22.

My M&P9 Pro (4.25" barrel)

 

[Simson-Suhl]

In the City. H&K P 7, 115 miles away from the City on my 160 acres, either a Freedom Arms 454 or a Colt Single Action Army in 357. Both SAAs have 43/4 barrels and cross draw holsters.

 

[DeathGrip]

Compact 1911 plus a mag pouch for going out of my usual area.

Around the house a 60-7 with a grip adapter. Various larger arms in reach.

In NM where I have 300 acres of all wood and streams an fishin holes, I was for a few years carrying a 4.75" Freedom Arms 454 casull SA sts, paired with a sts 45-70 lever. A few years later I picked up a matched pair of Ruger Alaskan 454's that have since replaced the freedom arms, accuracy at the distances needed was as good as the FA, plus both could chamber and shoot the biggest of the 45 colt rounds, but the real plus was that the Alaskan could use HKS speedloaders. I carreied 4 speed loaders on me, 3 blue to signify 45 colt, 1 red to signify 454, I also retired the 45-70 to range use, and began using a rossi 454 lever loaded with 454 and 2 speed strip of reloads.

As to personal EDC, I carry a Kimber Raptor, metaloyed and a Kimber Ultra Raptor.

I once saw a guy come into the gunshop in winter and he had a concealed desert eagle 50 on him.

629-5 Classic DX 6.5" barrel in a Bianchi X-15 shoulder holster while deer hunting or walking the hunting lease. I sometimes downsize to the 629-5, 4" and a Don Hume "loop" style holster on a Filson double belt.

EDC carry is a Colt 1911 Officer's model.

Summer carry is either a Mod. 37 or a Bauer .25.

What a wonderful problem to have, which handgun am I going to carry today!

 

[BigBoy99]

I hate small, chopped down handguns so I carry a SIG 220 .45ACP or a CZ75 clone in .38 Super.
