Exotic EDC pieces

[Zundfolge]

Was talking with a co-worker about our EDC pistols and he accused me of carrying an "exotic" EDC piece (a Steyr S40) ... will it's not made anymore and not a ton of them out there I wouldn't call it "exotic" but it did spur on a discussion of exotic/expensive/rare CCW guns (I guess compared to his Taurus Millennium G2 my Steyr is pretty exotic ).

So what exotic, expensive or rare piece would y'all consider using as an EDC piece?

For me I think I'd probably daily pack an HK P7M10 (or even M8/13) if I owned one.

Glock 19.














Seriously though, it's the only one like it in the world. The following quote is lightly laser engraved on the side:

"An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it."

I carry a PM9. I'm accurate with it, it's easy to carry and I trust it. Emphasis on that trust part. Some may call it "exotic" due to the CM series. :shrugs:

A colt python would be a sweet EDC on the hip item.

I don't know that I have anything that constitutes 'exotic' in a carry size. I do have a bunch of relatively esoteric guns that I have used in competition. I could never leave my toys in their original packaging, either. Consequently, most of my guns have holster and usage wear that makes my collector friends cringe.




Both of these have far more finish wear than they look...


This little guy is my open-carry gun, but not every day, or even very often.


If I had something I was comfortable with and was amenable to daily carry, I think I'd be inclined to carry it regardless of any unique value it might otherwise have.

A Python would be an awesome exotic EDC ... and the PM9 isn't exotic. the MK9 Elite might almost qualify as exotic (should have never sold mine).

Yeah, I wouldn't classify it as exotic either. Lol. It's the GMC of guns, not the Ferrari.

Decades ago, on the California coast, Ventura PD issued .41 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 58's. A friend of mine on the force had a beautifully custom polished / blued S&W 57 with some exotic hardwood grips. Wish I had a photo of it as it was quite beautiful .... when he first started carrying it.

He was unfortunately not thinking very clearly as after about a year of full time duty that gun got banged about a bit. Ventura got away from the .41 pretty quickly thereafter.

Back in the '80's, while I was competing in the South West Pistol League, there was a guy that was on some Southern California LEO payroll, but I'm blanking on which one, that had somehow supposedly gotten permission to carry a H&K P9S in .45ACP which was probably the most exotic LEO side arm I've seen.

My older brother still won't sell me his Auto Mag..... Guess I'll have to wait until his will is read.....

Mr. Ego... Will you marry me?

There is a P7M13 at The Gun Room in Lakewood. (At least there was a couple of days ago).
