What's Your EDC Caliber?

[G-Niner]

I carried a 2 1/2" Smith & Wesson 66-1 in a body hugging Alessi holster for years, but recently converted to a Glock 23 for my EDC (in a Raven holster) after shooting my G19 so much. I love my Smiths but my Glocks just feel right for daily use.

I generally use 45 ACP. It is my duty caliber and I like the good ole American cartridge. It is proven, reliable, controllable, and downright intimidating. If you want to reload, the brass stays good for a long time too since it fires at such low pressures.

Have an XDm-9 & XDm-45, and carry both (from time to time; BUT... find myself carrying the 45 more and more. Both about the same size & weight, and while the 9 gives me 6 more rounds (and I trust the 9mm), there's just something about the 45ACP....

9mm for me most of the time but I'll pocket holster a 380 when I'm in shorts and a T-shirt in the summer.

I carry my Colt Defender 45 most of the time, but I do put a Colt DS or Cobra in 38 in sometimes.

I love data ...looking at the poll results, calibers with the number 4 in them out-number all the other calibers combined (at the time of this post). Must be something about the number 4 ...just sayin'.

I thought it was interesting though that 9X19 is beating out any other category single handedly.

I also am a data-whore.

I love my little Glock 33. However I also love my Kahr 40. For some reason, my Glock gets carried more than my Kahr.

[ArcadiaGP]

On the market for a Glock, either the 19 or the 30. I'll conceal it as a backup to my OC'd Colt 1911 (or HK USP40c)

Just go full size

Just go full size

That's the thing, I can't stand the sight of a full-size glock. They look... horrendous to me. The 30 is more appealing, but the low-capacity is a slight turn-off. The 19 seems to have best of both worlds.

If I may, why do you feel you need to carry a 1911 and use a back up? Is this for work? And on what planet is a Glock 19 a "backup" weapon?
