I would love to know how many of my fellow forumites carry and how many carry daily and what you carry anf why and feel free to share. I will start by saying I have my VA CCW permit and I carry my firearm as religiously as my knives. I have my Kahr 45 on my person almost 100% of the time I am wearing pants. My pics to follow!

I don't carry but my two favorite pistols are a S&W 617 10-shot and a 657 41 Remington magnum. Will be looking to add a Kimber 1911 stainless target once all the craziness dies down.

I am pretty excited by the Arsenal Firearms Strike One model, it has a lot of innovative features and it is supposed to replace the venerable Makarov in the Russian Army and Police:

:) Same here. I'm afraid that my wee pee-shooters would simply turn tail and run away if they saw that 500. :p Personally, I'm also a big fan of anything Kahr pistols (the CW9 being a personal favorite). From there, I also really like Sig Sauer's line of 1911's. :)

As stated, it makes the slide the same weight as a Glock 17 (since this one has an extended slide/barrel). This allows them to use a standard recoil spring and not have to make multiple recoil springs for the same frame/caliber. Another thing that happens is with a lighter slide, there's less mass recoiling back, it tracks flater, and has felt recoil is less because of this.
I live on base and can't carry daily, and I'm not going to deal with armory for my firearms either. Unfortunately I'm stuck waiting a while before I can go back to carrying every day.

I do love the Kahrs as well.

Cary is not an option here in Canada, unfortunately. Currently I have a Gen 4 G17 and a P-07 Duty. I had a G17-C with a cut out slide but it was different than the one above. This isn't my pic.
:p
