What calibers do you carry ?

Re: What calibers do you carry ?
9mm all day, every day. Striker fired, no manual safety. I like a simple manual of arms.
Keep calm and carry.

Re: What calibers do you carry ?
Assuming "carry" includes the gun that sits in my car.....
44 mag = 90% of the time
38 spcl = 30%
9 mm = 75%
.45 = 25%
.380 = 25%
Yes, these add to more than 100%. I usually carry at least 2 if not 3 guns, and they are all different calibers.

Split duty between 9mm and .40. Occasionally 38 jframe. Used to carry .45 but in the platform I was carrying; the lack of capacity gave me the willies.
I do miss that .45 though...xds, really loved it; should have kept it.

I don't always carry a PPS but when I don't, it is still a .40 and still a Walther.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

Re: What calibers do you carry ?
I mix it up depending on how I am dressed and where I am going. I was carrying a .357 sp 101 quite often but all these mall attacks and the recent event in California have driven me to carry a handgun with higher capacity, at least for now. I would say over the past 60 days my breakdown has been,
.45 acp 20%
.40 s&w 30%
5.7X28 50%
.45 acp 20%
.40 s&w 30%
5.7X28 50%

M&P45 50 percent

Both big guns that I shoot very well and am comfortable carrying
That said my next purchase may be a Sig P320 Carry in 9mm
or a Glock 32 in 357 Sig

Re: What calibers do you carry ?
9mm 95% of the time- mostly a G19, some G17, rarely a G26.
45 ACP in a G21 maybe 1-2x per month.
I only carry a FDE G22 while at the ranch.
