I mostly carry my S&W 4043 but occasionally carry my .38 rossi. I've had the rossi ever since I was old enough to buy a handgun. I doubt I'll ever part with the rossi since it was my first.
Which do you carry most often

That is a good looking piece. I'm just partial to the 45 Colt is all.

Everyone needs a carry gun like that. Trusty, reliable, accurate and just a little cheezy. My Taurus 605 fills that niche for me. I keep it on the shelf outside the shower when showering. Last summer I wore it appendix while working up to my crotch in the creek next to my dad's house working on a retaining wall.

My vote didn't really apply to what I carry because there are almost always two guns of differing calibers on my person.

Well you didnt include .357 sig which I carry most often. Maybe the fact you didnt include it in your poll means you have disregarded this option or are unfamiliar with it. I recomend you check it out as it is an excellent CCW option or any SD option.

Due to arthritis getting worse the 1911 usually gets the nod.The lighter trigger pull makes accuracy easier.

My carry pistol is a Sig P239-40. It's easy to conceal, has decent power, and I can shoot it well.

most of my 'ccw' is done without a firearm; I have a few obstacles dealing with my employment that inhibit firearms on their property;
I always have a folding pocket knife on me along with a mini canister of Sabre 3-in-1 or Sabre Red chemical defense spray; employer doesn't allow 'loaded' firearms on their property (and yes this includes inside a locked vehicle) and what good is an unloaded firearm;
the infrequent times I do firearm 'ccw' it is with a S&W 642 with a pocket holster and 1 reload with a Bianchi Speed Strip;
while working or playing at the hunting property...sky's the limit since I am in an 'open carry' state (it's not recommended due to people freaking out in public); nobody bothers us on private property in the woods about open carry

I usually carry a S&W 1076 10mm.

I carried a 1911 .45 almost exclusively for about 28 years while working as a LE. I now seem to carry my S&W 337 in 38cal almost all the time. When I go to the Mountain which is often, I carry a .357, .44sp or .44 Mag S&W depending on my mood.

Although I voted for .38 (my S&W 642, in a belt holster or fanny pack), I also have a NAA .22 and KT P32 conveniently located for easy access, whether sitting or standing.

KAHR PM9
I live in diversified ethnic neighborhood with no problems for some time. Recently, some potential BGs have infiltrated the neighborhood. Have a sig 239, glock 19 and assorted lugers and P38s.
Mostly carried a centenial type 38 or 357 (pocket carry), but decided a 9x19 (luger) would be best for a car pistol. The kahr with a 6+1 capacity weighs only 19 ounces loaded and is the same physical size and weight as a s&w mod 36. exiting the car, the pm9 fits into a front jeans pocket. i shoot it a lot (2 or more times a week) for about 6 months now. no problems, and a nice easy smoothe trigger pull. factory literature states that dry-firing is ok. best combo car/pocket gun i have used to date.

75% of the time I carry a 2-tone Ed Brown Kobra Carry .45ACP in an IWB holster + 1-2 extra mags with Fed Hydrashocks.
Other 25% of time: S&W J Frame .38 in pocket holster w/1-2 speed loaders. Sig 239 9mm in IWB with 1-2 extra mags. Glock 27 9mm in IWB or paddle holster with 1-2 extra mags. Fed hydroshocks or Win Silvertips in these.
I carry extra speed loaders & magazines for 2 reasons: 1. I don't want to run out of ammo in the middle of a fight, and 2. In my experience, one of the most likely things to fail with an autoloader is the magazine, in which case you've now got a single shot, unless you have more mags.
