What do I carry?
As to why? I've always liked short barreled revolvers.
After my motor nerve problem started about 5 years ago, I took this little fellow apart, put in an 11 pound rebound spring and an 8 pound main spring. Smoothed the guts some and now I can shoot him with both hands.
The gimpy hand and the not so gimpy hand.
Never a misfire or a light strike.
I'm still toying with getting a 9mm semiauto. Looks like it may be a Ruger LC9s, it has a sweet trigger that's gimpy hand compatible.

Most of the time, the S&W 640 with 145 grain magnum Silvertips. When I want a little more fire power, than it's the original Sig P-225 with Georgia Arms 124 grain +P's. When I need something light, the S&W 642 with Buffalo Bore 158 grain SWCHP +P's. Never felt under gunner or under powered.

I carry a .45 ACP most of the time. Currently I've been carrying my old Sig P220 with Novak 8 round magazine and a spare, either IWB or in a Kramer Horsehide Michigan State Police Paddle holster when I wear a jacket or coat.

When I feel the need to carry, I carry a 342 Ti.

Typical carry is a 442-2.
If I'm in the great outdoors and have heavier clothing, I usually have a 3" 60-15 with me. Great all-around revolver for me.
Around the house, it's usually a .380 Kel-Tec or the 442 in my pocket.
If I feel the need for more ( to tamp down that "tingling in my brain), it's usually a S&W 915.

I live in Florida where it's basically HOT year round. Having said that, my carry gun depends on my clothing. Most of the time I carry a Glock 30S, but sometimes I switch it up to a GLock 19. If I'm wearing clothing that would easily print or not be suitable for a holster I carry a Ruger LCP in my pocket.

I tend to be old school and carry a metal SA/DA auto or a 1911. My main carry is a CZ 75D compact in 9mm. However some days I carry my 1911PD. I have been trying to find a CZ 2075 RAMI but no joy so far.

2.5" 19. I like an exposed hammer that I can keep my thumb on when reholstering. I like the roundness of a revolver for concealment. I also like that it will work even if the gun ends up held at some weird angle. I have way more rounds through a revolver than an auto as well - probably over 100K.

I have carried a Kel-Tec P-11 with the side mounted factory steel pants clip on it.
It holds 12 rounds of 9mm Luger hollow points in the magazine and one in the chamber. That is a lot of protective firepower.
I do not wear belt trousers unless I am dressed "formally for a meeting".
Winter wear is normally "sweat" type pants with "t" shirt out.
My Model 60 5 round "357" rides in a black fabric holster with the "T" shirt over it.
A sweater and light "sweat type jacket".
Colder weather, a heavier jacket over everything.
Remember, I am retired,78 yrs old, and get out of the house and do yard work, or fix things in my shop next to the house.
Walmart is my favorite store here, and has about everything we need
We are rural folks here and all hate Dallas that is 75+ miles North.
This is Cedar Creek Lake country.
East Texans have their own frame of mind, and ways of doing things.
Remember this, as it is important!

I carry a 396 with a titanium cylinder laded with 200gr Gold Dots, plus a speed strip with 5 rounds. If that don't fix it I was toast anyway.
When the weather is cooler like it is now, and I' wear heavier shirts and a vest, I rotate through a lot of different guns, because I like them. That's the main reason I enjoy this time of year. During the hot sticky weather, I carry my Shield 9. I've ruined more than one gun's finish by sweating on them and forgetting to wipe them down daily. Never again. Plus the Shield is so comfortable and dependable.

My EDC is a Glock 27, converted to 357 Sig. Nightstand gun is a Glock 22 converted to 357. Back-up gun is a Glock 26. I have 40 S & W and 9mm barrels for the G27. Ugly guns but the work all the time, and hit where pointed. Also, same controls.
Wife has two G43s. Same principles: accurate, reliable and have the same controls. In a pinch, we can use each others.
Also, No "MY GUN IS PRETTIER THAN YOURS".
Carry a Glock 10mm in the field.
