In Germany i can only carry on Hunt ! Than i carry my .45 Para USA 1911 Expert Carry or my M66 !
The Para is a 3"bbl and a full size grip. Comfortable to carry.

My EDC is a Ruger LC9s with IWB Alien Gear holster...very nice holster. In my truck its my SW M&P 9MM performance model. now that is the most accurate gun to shoot. 17+1 In a 2 inch circle at 25 yards makes you feel pretty confident that your gonna hit your bad guy if needed.
 
My EDC is a Shield 9 with the 8 round magazine. When the situation presents itself where I can't carry it I'll carry a Ruger LCP. I always carry an extra magazine in my weak side pocket when carrying them.

For most days it's my Shield in pocket carry. When pocket carry won't work I switch to a Sig P320 in its subcompact form AIWB.
 
CZ-PCR for EDC
Sheild 9 for backup EDC
Sig P238 for wardrobe limited carry.
3" 686+ for woods walks.
 
Shield PC 9 for when I am "ready & prepared" to carry.
Full size MP 9 if needed for around the family property, etc.
 
G19 with G17 back up mag IWB or a S&W 640 in pocket with a speed strip. Extra mags and speed strips on station in vehicles. Carbine rifle in truck also.
 
While I have multiple choices of each category, I usually carry a compact, a SA RO Compact 45 or a G19.
 
My regular EDC's come from a small collection of Shields and Compacts. All in 9mm, usually in a RawDog Tactical holster.

Summer .... shorts and t shirt I carry a Sig P238 in a pocket holster.

Fall/Winter..... light jacket time, I switch to shield 9mm & owb don hume holster

Of course I keep my M&P full size by the bed at home.
 
CCW size

Currently mine are a 1911 Commander (who would'a guessed) or M&P full-size. Dimensionally they are the same in height, length and width.

There are two 1911 gov't examples awaiting acceptance testing; one of them is undergoing restoration as well.
 
Currently carrying the M&P 9c.
That will change when I can find a Shield 45 without the thumb safety.
The 9c won't be going anywhere; my wife thoroughly enjoys shooting it and is planning on getting her CC permit.
Also have a full size M&P 9 that sits in my nightstand and is a very fun range gun.
Last, I have an RIA 1911 high capacity 9mm(5 inch barrel) that is just plain fun to shoot, but a bit heavy and big to be a concealed weapon option for me.

When concealment is needed, I carry a Shield 9. When concealment doesn't matter, I carry an H&K USP .45
