Glock 36 in .45 ACP.

.45, because they don't make a .46. (well, now they do but it would be a beast and a half to carry around all the time)

If I didn't lose my guns...

I'd CC my PF9 9x19 hydroshock and OC my XD40 with hydroshocks.
I would also have about 5 exra 40cal mags hidden around the places I frequent and a spare 9mm mag in the pocket. That should be enough to get me and mine safe.

Sig Sauer P226R happily fed with 36 rounds of Federal HST 9mm in 2 x 18 magazines.
Figured if I can't get myself out of a sticky situation with 36 rounds, then perhaps I should have gotten out of it long ago :D

9mm (127gr +P+ or 147gr Ranger), 10mm Kurtz ----aka .40S&W (180gr. Gold Dots), or .45ACP (230gr Ranger).

Current carry rotation includes a Kahr MK9 w/CTC lasergrips & trijicons, G19 w/full grip reduction/retexture & meps, G27 w/meps, Springfield Stainless Loaded 5" 1911 w/US made frame (not Brazil).

My job allows me an occasional 'insider's look' into handgun round effectiveness, and I can tell you that shot placement is EVERYTHING. Anything else is just gravy or gunshop B.S.

Very well put G20-IWB24/7 and I may steel this from time to time as well.

Just a note on carrying of firearms that imply that there is more deadly then any other firearm can work against you in front of a Jury as taught by Massad Ayoob.

It is not illegal by no means but impressions can mean a great deal to those in a jury that has little or no knowledge of firearms.
They hear the prosecutor telling them the weapon used was far more deadly then a normal gun as they call it the Cobra, Desert Eagle The Judge and who is to say what effect it will have on them?

If you choose to carry them, that is your choice as our lives are full of them.

Lol I forgot to mention that mine too is dressed up with Hogue finger groove grips :)
As a joke, if we're ever in a predicament together, maybe your extra round would save both our asses :D

How do you load your round in the chamber? I presume load a full magazine, load one in the chamber, then refill one more into the same magazine?

Slide locked back. Insert full mag. Slide release. Press decocker. Eject mag. Add one round. Insert full mag.

Typically I carry in a Serpa with a spare mag in the small pocket in the front right of jeans (watch pocket). If I actually pop my mag holder on my belt, or am using my shoulder holster, then I have two extra mags and am sporting 55 rounds.

I figure that would more then cover any situation until I could get back to a rifle.
