• What's your EDC?

    From KnightMare@VERT/TELEGRAP to All on Sat Sep 28 16:14:51 2024
    I love my Baretta 92FS. Large for some, just right for me :)

    Some of us at work talk about our EDC's, referring to them w/ names. Mine happens to be "Jennifer".

    Cannot imagine carrying a 92FS, although I have one. Assuming you're
    talking about "concealed" carry, and I have a hard time understanding
    why that would be a choice for that. It's HUGE.

    Mine is a S&W M&P Shield Plus 9, and she doesn't have a name. Not a bad
    idea though, I may work on that.

    she just "fits" - Anything else to me fees like a toy. I mean, if I
    found another one and i liked it, I'd carry it as a bug.

    I used to have a Ruger 9C. Had too many issues w/ it. Hammer would
    lock up, ejector pin issues... Only when it was cold, which to this
    day, I'll never understamd.

    Yea, we started using names so we don't scare any non-2A sheeple in
    listening distance. Why give someone a chance to run to HR and call
    us "gun nuts". lol

    Mine is a Shield .40 - have thought so many times about upgrading to
    a 'plus' for the extra rounds, flat trigger, etc. Thought about the
    .30 Super but not sure...

    The new Springfield mod 3 something... Great price point! Just got
    to put my hands on it...

    Ruger SP101 in 357 or FN509 - depends on where I'm going and my mood, sometimes both :)

    Late to the party but I currently carry a Sig P365x. It's a great gun but will be trading it in for something with better mag capacity and closer to the size of a Glock 19. As my alterego mentioned (Jaxson) the new Sig has caught my eye, but also curious how the Walther shoots. I have straight knuckles and the glock grips are uncomfortable to shoot -- and hard as hell to shoot straight without significant and ackward adjustment to the trigger finger. The sigs straight trigger is a really nice feature. My only complaint with my P365x is the magazine release is in the worst possible location and often comes loose.

    What type of holster do each of you prefer? Lately I've been using a sticky that has been great for summer and shorts. Now switching back to a handmade leather a buddy of mine made at a local farmers market.

    Springfield does seem to be coming out with some really nice guns / price points. The newer Springfield Echelon Comp 9mm is a great buy at $649 right now, optics ready, straight trigger, 17+1 .. I might shoot one at the range this weekend.

    I've not shot a Smith & Wesson nor Springfield yet. I have been considering the S&M Bodyguard for a pocket carry, ruger also has a nice one I've been considering. First I need to replace my EDC then will focus on that. If you upgrade or try out the Springfield, let us know what you think!

    Kinda late to this party myself, but for me it's usually a PT-145 Pro, S&W 645 or a 1911, depending on what the day's planned activities might be. I prefer the 645 over the 1911 and go with the 145 if I need something with a smaller frame for what's planned on the day. It should be fairly obvious that I generally engage in open carry, but that's not really that unusual given my geographic situation. Of course there's always a backup, which is a Grendel P12 in a pocket holster....

    Regarding the holster, just depends on what I'm carrying. Usually OWB, at about 8 o'clock (yes, I AM left-handed), and usually either leather or Kydex. I try to stay away from the ballistic nylon stuff...

    I use a Sneaky Pete right now. When I want to use a standard belt
    type I like Versacarry brand!

    Well - didn't get one - and never put my hands on one either...

    Been SUPER swamped with lots of stuff going on. Went to a gun show
    and wife really liked the RXM, but didn't leave with it. It's on my
    short list to get for her. :-)
