Used this picture in another thread for comparison purposes - perhaps GD could use another "gun" topic. I think these are some nice handguns, these are my favorites and ones I rely on daily. I have others, but these are the ones which are always at the ready.

My 3 "working" handguns:

S&W Bodyguard 380 for pocket carry (> nothing)

Walther PPS in 9mm for comfortable IWB carry - very pleased with the PPS

S&W M&P .40 for home/nightstand

Have a nice week!

I have four of them. They are a bit heavy for EDC, though.

Ordered spare grips set
sprayed tan krylon
brushed on MINWAX walnut stain
clear polycrylic finish
was going for "faux" wood finish. Moot point since I ended up putting on Hogue grips over it anyways

If your gun is too heavy for every day carry leave your purse at home.

I've come to the realization that I would be perfectly fine with 3 handguns, and 3 long guns - that would satisfy all my CCW needs, home defense needs, and more.

Why isn't there a tacked thread somewhere that explains this?

We can't very well be gun nuts with just 6 guns.

And how would 86 87, forgot about Ruger making 1911s now, 1911 makers stay in business if we only bought 6 guns!

I couldn't justify a C&R license for only 6 guns...

My G19 was made in 93(?), how old is that one?

That's a big hole in that woodchuck. I had no idea Glock shrapnel was so energetic.

I'm supporting at least two companies that make gun oil and silicone cloths.

That would be the exit wound from a Speer Gold Dot +P 124 grain.

I would like to hear about the Bodyguard, clearly you trust it with your life. That says a lot, I would really like to own one. Have any more pictures of it?

Bodyguard is a better than nothing, equal but nicer than an LCP gun - as a .380 shot placement and good sneakers are essential.
As a resident of S FL, we often don't wear many clothes - so we sometimes need a Bodyguard - or go without any protection (other than cell phone).

To me, this thread is about the guns which aren't necessarily the nicest you own - but the ones you actually use for CCW or nightstand/desk drawer. In my case, the Bodyguard is a decent little pocket gun - a step above nothing.

ETA - honestly I trust the PPS with my life, I hope the Bodyguard will work - but .380 isn't much. The PPS is my CCW of choice - and it's a really nice handgun.

Also - the Bodyguard is a recent serial number - the early ones had some issues - hopefully they've been resolved with the most recent prefix.
