    Wow, 32 people voting and I'm the only one carrying a 380! I'm really surprised at that. I carried a 9 for a long time but found this Kel-Tec 380 that's super light and small framed but is hyper accurate.

    I swear I saw a post of Hoser's saying he preferred some small caliber guns to carry. I thought it was .25, but I of course could be wrong.

    For carry I think a better list would be

    .22
    .25
    .32
    .357
    .380
    .38 (Special/Super)
    9mm
    .40 S&W
    10mm
    .45 ACP/GAP

    I can't see someone concealed carrying .223 or .308... and I think we'd mock anyone who carried .50 in any flavor.

    Yea, those were just whimsical.

    That is her 2nd firearm. FN FiveSeven. She got hers around 2005. That was when SS192 were dominant and SS195LF and SS196 were new.
    Around 2005, USG and IOMs were about same price. We should've purchased the IOM model.
    USG were kinda new, so we got USG.
    Brand New price of FiveSeven were about 75% OF what it cost New now.

    My Wife Likes my Ruger 40 but its too much for her. I told her if she Got through Navy Boot and her SP School, Got her Citizenship I would get her a FiveSeven in HER name (She could get Citizenship free with Active duty service)

    She has been wanting to be a military Police officer since she was a Kid.

    I carry depending on my clothing, in the summer I carry a Ruger LCP IWB at 7:00, during colder weather I'll carry a GLOCK 23 .40 SW IWB at 7:00.
    I have just about every other caliber and will on occasion carry any of them--- while the LCP is the most convenent to carry, for me the Glock 23 is the best compromise for reliability,size, capacity and stopping power.

    I would prefer SR-3M 9x39 w/ alucore short range ammo for concealed carry... But, if we speak about handguns, I only carry .45 Auto.

    My carry is a 1911 Operator and a custom holster by Michael Kole. A little heavy and big but comforting nonetheless. The lady carries a Sig P225/P6 in 9mm. I really like that pistol too.
