It depends, I rotate my carry weapon to give all them proper attention. It just depends on what I decide to grab. What I carry -

HK USP Compact .45
Springfield loaded 1911
Glock 30
HK USP Compact .40
Glock 19
Smith and Wesson airweight .38 special

Every day, all day, for the last several years. Carried in a Threat Solutions UCR IWB on a Wilderness 3-stitch belt. Loaded with Speer Gold Dot 124grain +P.

While I have other handguns, I don't like to rotate my carry gun. The longer I stick with the same gun, holster, belt, in the same spot, the more it becomes a part of me. I rarely even shoot any of my other handguns.

Ouch. That looks like it was painful. Not to hi-jack the thread but when did that happen..how did it happen? How does your hand look now?

Oh yeah. I carry a:

-3rd Gen. Glock 30
-Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum

Most of the time a Wilson CQB .45, and S&W 442.
Sometimes a G19 and S&W 442.
Sometimes a G19 and P3AT.
Sometimes a S&W 442.
RARELY a P3AT.
Guess it just depends on the day, dress, and general mood.

Im in the UK and we can't carry anything....
no guns, no knives, no batons and no cs or pepper spay.

I owned a few pistols before they were banned here. I do have a few rifles still though

I had a real nice 1911GovCom, 6" 686 and a CZ75 copy and to be honest if I could have carried I'd have prefered a revolver, not a 6" but something shorter.

I'm probably not contributing much to this thread...

just thought I post my thoughts

You do us a service by reminding us of what can happen to our guns if we don't remain vigilant.

Post on, my friend.

Yep, I did. I own 4 of them.

I have a set of these that I wear when I shoot them, just to protect my hands -

Varies, depending on my clothing and mood.

H&K USP 40
Springfield Loaded 1911
Sig P220ST
Kahr P40

More and more, I find myself leaving the 220ST at home though.

These are the two I carry most of the time. Often the Smith is just in the back pocket of my Levi's with no holster. Both are light weights.

90% of the time I carry a FEG PA63, occasionally I will carry a Browning HighPower and I have been known to pack a Ruger Security Six in .357 mag.

I carry the 4" Springfield Light Weight Champion in this picture in a Tucker OWB holster. It is usually stoked with 230 gr. Golden Sabers. For winter carry if I am worried about BG's wearing very heavy clothing, I carry my Five-seveN in a BladeTech OWB holster. With a spare mag I have 41 rounds of 223 shorts traveling at 2,050 fps.

I'm a robbery detective in dress clothes Glock 27 or 23 in Kramer belt scabbard, spare mag, and a S&W scandium 38 hamerless in custom (added a strap) Galco ankle glove.... In the car... well lets just say I have enough to stay for the whole show....

I think this is going to be my new carry gun.

Smith and Wesson .460 XVR, with an uncle mikes belt slide holster.

You never know, a D-8 Bulldozer might try to kill me.

What do you all think?

What exactly happened and "why " did you give them up?

The law changed in the UK banning all pistols (not black powder) and we lost our full bore semi-auto's.

We still own and use AR's but only in straight pull configuration.

Here's mine

I had to hand in all my pistols before a pre-set date to the local po-po.

I lost
22lr Bernadelli semi auto target pistol
9mm ITM AT84 (CZ Copy)
S&W 686 6" (mint).357
9mm Browning
Colt Government Comander .45

I used to take my wife pistol shooting twice a week. We posed no threat to anyone. We suffered the loss of our sport/pastime even though we still shoot rifles.

Here's an old pic of 3 of my pistols before I "lost" them
