Answered for my work EDC. It's a Gen3 Glock 19. Two spare mags, plus I carry both a fixed blade and a folder.

Regular is a 229/.40 with 2 reloads and a Kershaw frame lock folder.
Your poll did not include SAO, but my other commonly carried gun is a 938.

Flag on play, incomplete poll!
I'm sure there are many left out of the poll who carry SAO, a 1911 or smallish variant thereof.
And what about those of us who sport a multi-tool with a knife blade?

I've gotten VERY fond on my M&P .45acp. Carries well, conceals okay under Winter clothing.
I carry a spare mag in a horizontal pouch.
Since there was no "None" option, I voted "folder" in the knife category tho it doesn't - in my opinion - qualify as a defense weapon since it's a sub three inch pocket knife.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

It really depends. I split equal time between my P365 and P938 SAS in the summer. P220 SAS gets winter duty.

Really depends on conditions. I carry either a TCP380, P365 9mm, or P229 .40. I always have a spare for the .380, it really depends on what I'm doing for the others. I'll probably pick up a Glock 29 in the near future for a woods gun.
I've always got a folder on me, if I'm out in the woods I'll have a fixed blade with me as well.

"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

Chose folder blade but I carry an OTF daily.
Not minority enough!

G43, spare mag, Kershaw Leek. Unless I am in workout shorts and t shirt then it is just G43 in a fanny pack. I tried clipping the Leek to the fanny pack but did not stay in one place and I did not like that.
Just picked up a 365 X Macro yesterday. Once I put that through the paces it will become my EDC, I doubt I will carry a spare mag on my person. I’ll still carry the G43 in workout clothes. Don’t think the 365 will fit in my pack. The G43 just barely does.

Most like have a P365x IWB with a reload on my belt or pocket. I have been carrying a CZ PCR w/ the Cajun Gun Works pro kit installed (DA/SA) quite a bit lately as it one of my favorite guns to shoot. I always carry a folding blade which is almost always a Hinderer 3.5” XM-18.
Added.
I do also carry a small flashlight and use it often. I will also add that my knife is not carried with the intention of being a defensive weapon but as a tool for opening boxes and cutting things that need to be cut. If I’m at the point where I’m using a knife defensively then things have gone catastrophically wrong.This message has been edited. Last edited by: dking271,

Full-time LEO, on duty I carry a full size striker fired pistol with one or two spare mags and a folding knife. Off duty I carry a smaller striker fired pistol with one spare mag and a folding knife.

Same- If it was July I would have a slightly different answer. But winter carry is a VP9 with two 17 rounders and one in the pipe and one of several Benchmade folders.
