Glock pistols in 9mm. Various sizes for various tasks (45/19/43).
Full size: Government model .45 ACP. I have more of them than any other type gun. I carry them and compete with them. My single stack gun is a Springfield RO with a fixed Harrison duty sight and a Dawson ICE magwell. Loaded with 230 gr. HST +P they're known to have excellent performance. Springs are all the same, triggers are all short. Playing around with arched vs flat MSH. Doesn't really matter. I'm partial to Pachmayr Wrap-around grips. Most of them are guns that I've either built myself (the one in the photo) or modded extensively (my single stack rig).
Compact: Commander in 9mm. It backs up my minor power factor Single Stack pistol. Something about the Commander just carries so well.
Subcompact: I do not trust subcompact 1911s. They're almost always plagued by reliability woes. I happened into a M&P9 TS model that was chopped to subcompact grip. It conceals as well as any G26 or M&P9C. It has a thumb safety like my 1911s. This is good.
Pocket: I have two pocket guns.
The Ruger LCP custom is smaller than any other gun I own and disappears in literally any pair of pants I own. It has been totally reliable for me and out to ten yards, easy to shoot.
The 638 serves as a niche gun. It goes into a coat pocket when I'm out and about in colder months. If it's cold out, I don't want to fumble with my jacket, sweater, and shirt to get to the Colt. I can keep my hand on a gun if there's trouble. And it won't jam if I fire it through my coat. When the coat comes off or I expect to remove it soon, I just belt the gun using the little clipdraw dingus or I won't have the LCP and I'll just pocket the J frame in my jeans if they have big enough pockets.

Is it heresy to carry Glock and Sig? I feel like I’ll be crucified by this forum.
I've been testing a TLR8-GA on one of my P-07s, and like it quite a bit. It's got me thinking seriously about using just one gun for CCW, backcountry use, and home defense:
“There is no growth in the comfort zone.”--Jocko Willink
"You can never have too many knives." --Joe Ambercrombie
G17 with X300Ua for work
G19 for when I CCW and think I might need a gun
G21 with old X200 for nightstand
G43 with TLR6? for not carrying a gun, gun, soon to be replaced by a no-lock S&W MP 340
Unless in an airport or jail, I am never not armed
Full size - LTT PX4 Carry
Compact - LTT PX4 compact carry
Subcompact - P365 or PPS M2 but rarely carry either
Bedside - Have small safe in closet about 10 feet from my bed, with PX4's and LTT Elite 92. Have them there as I have slept-walked in the past and would tend not to have a gun in a drawer I could open so easy.
