I most often carry a .45acp. but on the rare occasion when I'm trying to be uber-discrete and am CCing, I'll tote a Walther P22.

I have plans to add some sort of 10mm to my collection soon--either a Glock 20 or a Colt Delta Elite. Why is 10mm no included in the list?

And sometime next year, I'll be getting a couple revolvers in .357 Magnum/.38 Special and probably one or two SA pistols in .45 Long Colt...

But even with my expanded selection in the next year or so, I'll most likely carry a .45acp (or a 10mm when I get it) for defense. All the others will be "range guns", and for teaching...

When I was making the poll it said it could only have 10 options, so that's why some are left out.

You left out some other very common calibers:

.380 ACP
.327 Federal Magnum
.357 SIG
10mm Auto

Of course, there are othres, those at least deserve to be in that poll.

Generally, I carry which ever matches my outfit :cool:

The UCII .45 matches my "dress down over shirt" for summer carry and myblack winter jacket (CC only in my state)

The EMP 9mm matches my summer weight jacket and my Native American stylewinter jacket.

The BobCat always goes along in my shoulder-carried fanny pack. I don't carry a purse at all.

And it all fits under my black leather jacket ... ooooooh, guns are such wonderful fashion accessories:celebrate

Impatiently waiting for OC - then I can add holsters to my accessorizing:celebrate:celebrate

What make and model do you carry, and what do you hope to carry in the future?

I carry a Kahr CW9 and love it.

I've been wanting a 1911, and will probably start out with a Rock Island Armory with skeletonized hammer and full beavertail. Locally they are $450 new. That seems like a good value for a first 1911.

Before that, however, I need an all-purpose back country gun (lots of mountain lions in the areas I hunt/fish/camp/hike). I'm looking at the S&W 686+, a 7 shot .357 magnum in the 3" barrel length so that it can be an OC gun as well but I'm considering the 4" Ruger GP100 and putting the savings towards a scope so that it can double as a hunting gun (4" minimum barrel lenth for hunting here in WA).

Right now Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum.

I have an FNP-40 that I got recently, just haven't had a chance to get a good retention holster for it, will probably primarily carry that weapon when I do though.
