Illinois does not have CCW at ALL. Same with Wisconsin....Bottom line - I can't wait til I move to pensacola florida this summer.

Walther P99 for me.
S&W 642 the most.....XDsc9 the rest of the time
I carry my Sig P250 most of the time, but I love my Dan Wesson CBOB in .45. The Sig is a little lighter, and I have 100% confidence in it. Whatever you like and feels best to you, go for it.
S&W M&P9c
S&W .38 model 642 - centennial. Fits in pretty much any pocket with ease and comfortability.
Man, unbelievable to me that both of my carry options' manufacturers aren't listed here: CZ and H&K.
So two more votes for "Other" then. Sorry I missed them.
What model CZ do you carry? I've recently been browsing some of those but don't know anything about them. I've never actually got my hands on one. Seems not to be any in my nech of the woods.
No biggie on the poll, I'm used to feeling left out
I carry a CZ P-01, which is a CZ 75 with a shortened slide, aluminum frame, and a decocker instead of a safety. In terms of size it's real close to the very popular Glock 19, but the P-01's grip makes it feel worlds apart. You really owe it to yourself to check out a CZ 75 or variant model as they are largely considered the most ergonomic/comfortable handguns ever made. Holding one is a religious experience...![]()
Im looking into an XDm for hd and range, but i figure ill start carrying a s&w bodyguard model because of its size and concealability.
Nighthawk GRP Recon .45
Kimber CDP Pro II .45
Colt Series 70 Stainless .45
Glock 32 (.357 Sig)
Taurus 606 (.357 6 shot, concealed hammer)
Taurus 85 (.38 SPL 5 shot, concealed hammer)
Kel Tec P3AT
I carry one of these always, just depends on the clothes, my destination and my mood. Probably the Glock gets the majority of the carries.
I carry two...
Sig P220 as my main in a Galco vertical shoulder rig, and a Keltec P3-AT in a Desantis Nemesis holster in my pocket as a back up.![]()
I dont have one yet but i will be buying the xd45 for my main carry once i have my ccw
Beretta PX4 SC 9 mm is one of my favorites. Beretta 84 FS .380 is my second choice.
Beretta PX4sc, Kahr PM9 then a Ruger LCP.
I carry A FNP-40 in cold weather and a Kel-Tec PF-9 in hot weather.I voted Kel-Tec because I can carry it anytime.
i carry a xd9sc in a crossbreed supertuck! i highly recommend the gun and the holster. this little gun is the most accurate subcompact ive ever shot and the recoil is easily managed and its concealability is superb! that is for me! each individual is different but this is my 2 cents. good luck!
I carry a High Standard 22 mag two shot Der. in my right rear pocket in a leather holster. The Cheeta 380 is close at hand.

In this epoch of my life I've taken to carrying a full-size semi-auto for personal defense. Nevertheless, if it's a compact you seek, may I suggest the Springfield XD Compact in 9mm or .40 S&W, The Glock 19 in 9mm or 23 in .40, The Sig P-239 in .357 Sig, or the HK P2000 series, depending on your budget. These are all excellent, compact, defensive firearms I'd trust my life with.
After going through a variety of small pocket carry guns, Colt, Kahr, S&W, etc. I finally settled on the smallest 9mm out there with a 10 shot mag, the Kel-Tech P11. I carry mine 90% of the time. Once and awhile when the weather allows for wearing a jacket, I'll carry a S&W 9mm Lady Smith.
In the cooler months I carry a Sig 220SAS/DAK in a Belt Holster. When it gets warmer I carry a Keltec P11 in a pocket holster. I use the 12 round mag in the Keltec. P3AT stays in the other pocket year round.
H&K USPc 9mm for me.
Kel Tec P-3AT 380...
