Hey guys, been here a while but haven't posted much. Today I'm wondering what handgun you carry for self defense (Conceal Carry)? What else is in your EDC (Every Day Carry) kit? How do you carry your handgun?

I'd like to see lots of pictures and descriptions please! I'm sure there's other questions I could ask that relate to these topics, so anything and everything that revolves around these questions could be discussed here!


Thanks for your time!

My EDC today was the HK USP Tactical .45, OWB with a light jacket concealing it. During colder months, I tend to carry a full frame. Summer time is usually a Commander 1911 with shirt concealing it. Extra mag in the mag-pocket of my 5.11's, cause I wanna be prepared ;)

Ruger LC9s Pro with a High Noon Mr. Softy holster. I've been a fan of these holsters for quite a while. The Ruger has been flawless reliability wise, and shoots very well too. It's thin enough for year round carry, even if you're not very "husky".

Ruger LCP II and some sort of Microtech(UTX-85 Tactical pictured) every day. Some days more, but these two are always with me. I probably should carry something bigger more often but I normally don't. That LCP just disappears so easily no matter what I'm wearing it's just made me lazy. I normally carry it in a pocket holster but I have a belly band, ankle holster, IWB holster, OWB holster and a SOB holster for it too.

S&W M&P 9c with a gto laser in a hybrid theis holster. It carries well, 12+1 and I am pretty accurate with it.

My newest daily knife is the kabar in a @NSR Tactical sheath, running horizontal on the belt.

I will get a couple pics later.

I carry HK VP9 and love it. Sits in a cool Kydex holster and can hardly see or feel it for a full size pistol. Ravencrest flip and a streamlight.

Any of you have issues with your pinky 'floating' and not having anywhere to perch?

I prefer my pinky to rest under the mag on most subcompacts. For some weird reason I shoot subcompacts better that way. I even tried a pinky extension on my old G29 and I shot it better with the flat floorplate.

See, I have yet to test fire any, but holding it seems funky... Maybe my opinion will change who knows?

Glock 19 with surefire xc1 and trijicon hd's. G-code IWB holster.

Don't judge me on the methed out skull Cerakote job. I was just experimenting with those stencils. I don't like the way they turned out and will be doing something different soon. That's like the fourth time I've Cerakoted that gun.

Not really a consideration in a concealable carry gun for me. My requirement of a carryy gun is one that is comfortable enough to carry daily, accurate enough to hit an 8" pie pan at 25' 95% of the time and 100% reliable in the last 100 rounds. I never carry a "clean" gun. Any time I clean a carry gun I put at least 2 mags through it before I carry it again.
