What CCW Do You Carry Most Days?

[Riposte1]

This is a thread is a bit old but I just stumbled across it. I sure hope this does not come across as some sort of one upmanship or trying to be extreme but my daily carry is two 1911s (it wasn't for years but long study into lethal force situations lead me to this...it might not be for every one).

To be sure some days, especially in the fall and winder, I will change my backup gun to a S&W 4 or 5" in .44 or .45 but that is mainly for hunting and it will still serve as a backup in case my primary goes down (most likely because it or my gun or hand gets shot - check the stastical probability some time).

I certainly toyed with smaller guns but, in the end, I simply shoot the 1911 25% better than the next best gun (I go by a performance based test not a subjective "feeling"). Others would probably do but I just dont think I would feel right about giving up that edge.

I have tried LW commanders and even a Glock 23 as backups. They will certainly do but I found another steel 1911 simply gives me "ballance" and I shoot them better - especially with my weak hand. Of course there are those I know would argue that I am decidedly unbalanced

I do also carry one or sometimes two "hideout" guns that are usually J-frames but they are harder to get into action quickly. I am "semi-retired" law enforcement (meaning I dont patrol but I am on call) and full time Military Contractor. If I weren't I might drop the hideouts but then again, they are no trouble so I might not.

BTW, in the circles I travel in, I am considered as "traveling light" becuase I often only have 3 guns on me

By no means is this a criticism of folks who carry what they feel like, whether it is more or less.

Be careful out there,

Riposte.
