What's your primary ccw caliber?
Two of the three guns in my normal carry rotation are 9mm, the third is a .45 caliber 1911.

Bigger calibers are still very alive and well.

Depends on the day ahead. In hostile anti-gun I carry a slim 32 acp that is invisible. 90% of the time a 9mm, in some neighborhoods a 10mm.

.45 here on most occasions. I do have a little mini Kimber 380 in an ankle holster for when something on the hip won't work.

Picked up a 22Mag not long ago as well. It wears nice and is super light. Hard to tell you've even got it on.

I carry my P229 in .357SIG or my GLOCK 33 on a result basis but I'll dig out the GLOCK 20 from time to time.

I got excited after I voted because I thought of bunch of people carried 357s too and then I realized the labels are goofy and all those folks were packing 9s. :-)

.327 Federal Magnum is most-carried.
9mm is a close second.

357 Sig in my P229 is the preferred. If I need something a little smaller and lighter, 9mm P239

May I ask why?


It's winter and snowing gets in my way and lint is everywhere with a husky and shepherd. At work it's fine since it is in a solid holster built for RMRs and not exposed.

I'll go back when it warms up and I can find something to cover the rmr from dog and cat fur. I have five cats and three dogs (and two rabbits)



Not minority enough!

Ah. Gotcha. That makes sense. I didn’t know if you had found something wrong with the RMR and carry.

10mm, most often my Ruger GP-100 "Wiley Clapp" model with a 3.5" bbl. Occasionally the SIG P220 Elite Nitron. The only holster I've ever used for any gun is an Andrews Leather Saddle Style (OWB). It spreads the weight well, making it easy to carry an all steel gun, and makes for a sturdy platform to draw from.

Mostly 9mm either a P365 or PM9 but have been thinking about bringing my G33 back into the mix.

Sure you don't want to upgrade to the .25 ACP?


I don't carry it but don't knock the 22 short:

Toss up between 9 and 45 with 9 getting the edge as it's what my authorized off duty weapon is chambered in.

I typically run 9 but I'll do 10mm in the woods or backcountry. When we issued 40 I ran that but honestly, the difference isn't worth arguing about.

I've owned just about every handgun caliber through the decades of shooting and have owned/ sold hundreds of guns. Some years back I got out of buying, selling and collecting and sold almost everything I had (still have a few left, well maybe a little more than a few) and now only have 9mm's some 22lr and 12g shotguns. 9mm is my CC and range gun. I'm not bigger is always better although the 45cal. was a nice bullet to shoot for a long time.

I've carried a Springfield XD sub-compact 40 cal since Illinois got CCW. Not sure why but I like the 40 cal. I've got a 226 in 40 that is my go too shooter as well.
