9mm all day, every day. Striker fired, no manual safety. I like a simple manual of arms.
Keep calm and 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.

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
9mm

M&P45 50 percent
M9 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

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.
