Well, I hit my 20 year mark in Law Enforcement this spring and this thread started me thinking of just how many different pistols I have carried over the years. On the job it has been everything from Berettas, Sigs, Glocks a custom GM 1911 and a Dan Wesson Commander 1911. Then it hit me. The one constant for two decades of off duty carry that has had several thousand rounds put through it and never failed to fire... a Star PD I bought new in 1990 !!! I have carried at least a dozen other concealable guns but a day or two and then it was back to the PD. Go figger.

I carry a Glock 23 a number of different ways, including OC in Yellowstone NP recently (yay!), the wife carries a G27 in a concealment purse.

what I carry
I carry the Glock model 22 in .40 S&W in a Desantas open top leather holster. I also have 2 extra clips in a clip holster. I've had a Kimber 1911 .45 I bought used but had to get rid of it. ( that sucked bad, i loved that gun. it was stainless) I also had a Berretta 92fs which I completely loved but sold it for golf clubs! Then I figured I would try a striker fired polymer gun in .40 and i'm really getting used to it and like it alot.

I started with a Beretta 92 (9mm) as my first and spent alot of time at the range and IPDS practice to become proficient. Carried with a shoulder rig mostly or a duty holster sometimes in winter. Found it cumbersome to carry concealed. Downsized within a year to a more managable sized Walther PPK/S (.380) that I carry in a Galco IWB or an ankle hoster in the summer. Love it, but still gets heavy.

I carry a Springfield XDm .40 with a 4.5 inch barrel in a Crossbread Super Tuck Deluxe and as long as I don't let it creep back past centered on my hip it hides the grip perfectly with a loose shirt.
Forgot about this forum, joined but never posted.
Daily carry around the homestead and in the woods I OC a Ruger Blackhawk, 45 colt in a cross-draw holster. If I go out, which is as seldom as possible, I carry a 454 Ruger Alaskan in a shoulder rig.
When the bears come in for the apples in the fall, I switch to strong-side OC, 454 Super Redhawk 9 1/2".

I have carried a lot of different makes over the years, but I have settled on my Kel Tec P-11 for a while now. It is easy to carry, shoots great, and I don't worry about getting a little dust, dirt, or sweat on it.:happy:

Just the other day I picked up a Ruger LCP .380ACP. I can hear it now, I should have bought something else. Well, I have several reasons for the LCP. One, we have a little stock in Ruger, Two we own three other Ruger pistols, Third I did try to obtain a Bersa, but couldn't obtain one readily.
Actually, this little lightweight pistol might do real well as a CCW. You sure don't know you have it on you. I still will have the Ruger P4 in the vehicle. Just my view on all of this.
