Whats Your S&W EDC

[NDZ Performance]

Good Morning everyone. What is your EDC and what would you do to to it as internals or cosmetic?

 

[URIT]

My EDC is a model 3953 (N.P.D. 188) with no add-ons or alterations. It is a fine shooter and works well for concealed carry in my old Bucheimer-Clark 14c-79 IWB clip-on holster.

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

Mine varies from day to day, season to season. Most are stock. No blinkers or hood ornaments.

2 or 3 inch 38's

For years now my EDC is Model 637 which replaced my Model 60, which replaced Model 36 as EDC...usually carried in Smith & Wesson leather.

Sometimes a Model 36 with 3 inch HB and stock PC grips in plain jane leather.

Practice a lot with 38, carry + P in the 637, have several good wheel guns in 357 Mag (Model 27's in various lengths,Model 66, etc.) and even a bottom feeder in 9mm (Model 39-2) but always carry (read "depend on") a 38 just because it is what I know best, shoot best in short range situations which I feel is what EDC is all about.

Just my 2 cents, but you did ask.

 

[The_Truth]

I alternate between my 1053 and my Model 13 3" depending on mood and/or environment.

 

[Cal44]

Most common carry is a 431PD loaded with 32 H&R Magnum Critical Defense ammo.

Second choice is an LCR 357 loaded with 357 Mag Gold Dot 135gr short barrel from Speer.

I recently acquired a 340PD which I will add to the list next time I renew.

 

[Wavygravy]

Shield 9 2.0 (running Federal HST 124 gr.) stock IWB or LCPII (running Hornady 90 gr. XTP) stock in front pocket holster.

 

[Guevera]

My EDC is a model 3953 (N.P.D. 188)....

Did anybody ever determine what department the N.P.D. guns came from? I have one too and posed the question a while back, but I don't think there was any firm answer. Newark? Norfolk? Nashville?

 

[pmc847]

Shield 9 with Crimson Trace green, Trijicon sights, Apex trigger in a mini tuck Crossbreed. Maggut updated mags. Spyderco Tenacious Folding Knife and Fenix LD30 Flashlight. Ranger T 147gr.

YMMV

Shield 2.0 in 9mm, just added a set of night sights and +2 magguts. Carry it with 11 founds of 147gr Winchester Defends.

For the past five years it has been an M&P 40c usually carried in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster. (Yes, you can pocket-carry an M&P compact!) A few months ago, after prolonged break-in testing, I converted it to a .357 SIG with a Storm Lake barrel. With over 2,000 rounds through the Storm Lake barrel, it has proven to be every bit as reliable as the original .40, and even more accurate. I'm always on the lookout for a potential replacement carry gun, but so far, I haven't found any pocket carry gun that combines the balanced combination of of reliability, accuracy, capacity, and hitting power that my 40c .357 SIG provides.

Good Morning everyone. What is your EDC and what would you do to to it as internals or cosmetic?

M&P9 Pro 4.25"
Trijicon HD sights
Stormlake barrel
DIY stippling
Buffalo Bore ammo

I trust it with my life!

I carry a 686-6 in a Next Holster Guardian IWB holster.

I also occasionally carry a Model 66-4 in a WBC Covert Carry tuckable IWB holster. A 686 will fit it as well, but it's a bit snug.

Both holsters are made just down the road here in NC.

Have a s&w 669 that's a great mid size pistol but just never carried it much and I have a m&p 4.25 40 with a thumb safety and a apex fss trigger kit with a 3lb 10oz pull weight and front stock sight dot painted with testers 1144 met gold paint front sight blacked out rear . Good shooter , great trigger makes for an easy to shoot pistol at 50 feet to 25 yards . But its only one of several carry options . To many good handguns out there to get strapped down to one brand .

When the 380EZ came out in February, 2018 I brought one and haven'the looked back. My previous concealed carry was a 640 Pro 357. I loved it but not the recoil. I can put more rounds in a target faster and it's a Fun gun to shoot. I have one addition on it. TruGlo Night Sights.

 

[Goldstar225]

Shield 2.0 9mm. Two modifications to it. Lightly sanded the left grip panel to avoid abrading my skin and putting rounds through the barrel. AFAIC it needs nothing else to serve me well as an EDC.
