Whats Your S&W EDC

As often as possible I carry my 2.0 4" in 9mm.
Stock other than Ameriglo Hackathorns and Talon grips. I am comfortable with it in most weather and clothing. When I absolutely can't get away with the 4", or just want something different, I'll go Glock 26, Glock 19, or LCP in the pocket.

I just picked up a 2.0 4" in 40 S&W that I hope to replace the 9mm with as a primary once I get enough testing through it.

I also just got a 45 Shield on a whim, that I may carry a lot iwb if it turns out reliable enough.

I keep a 1.0 Shield in 9mm dedicated to my riding vest that's in addition to my hip gun when I'm riding.

I have two De Santis ankle holsters. One for the Shield 9mm and one for the Glock 26. Depending on what's on my hip, I will have one strapped to my left ankle if I'm going on a long drive or know I will be somewhere where I'm sitting a lot. I've found this holster to be very comfortable and convenient. Easily goes on and comes off, and stows away nicely in the center console.

The only S&W in my EDC rotation is a 640-1 .357 J frame in a Galco pocket or IWB holster. I've had some blue jean front pockets that really made it disappear. Other jeans much less so and either print or leave the grip exposed which can be embarrassing in some meetings at work. My other primary EDC is a CZ 2075 RAMI either IWB or OWB. Also a Beretta 21A Bobcat for those times when nothing else will descretely fit in what I'm wearing and I decide its probably better to have a mouse gun on hand than nothing at all.
 
As of October 2019, I've carried a SW40VE with a Ruger LCP as backup.

I'm happy with this setup, but I'm concerned of the possibility of magazine capacity restrictions being Instituted in the near future, so I'm in the process of transitioning to a new and improved EDC.

I found this online last month at the absurdly low clearance price of $350!

I was shopping for either a M&P45 Shield or a M&P40c when I found it.
