I voted J frame because I'm home more often than not.

However, it doesn't accompany me when I leave home (unless it were very unusual circumstance where I felt the need for a BUG). So G26 would be the "not at home" answer.

About a year ago I switched jobs and started working in an NPE with a dress code. My days of a Glock 19, jeans, and an untucked button-down shirt at work are over.

As a result, my primary carry gun is now an LCP, in either a BFG or Desantis pocket holster.

When I'm not at the office (or lately, social distancing/stuck at home) I carry the 19.

Getting a .45 LW Commander in .38 Super interests me. I may need some professional enabling help.

The Dan Wesson Guardian is offered in 38 Super and looks pretty solid if you like the bobtail. It's tempting to order a pair.

But I'm keeping an eye out for a Colt Lightweight Commander 38 Super or two -- they come up for sale occasionally but they aren't in the current catalog. The Supers I already own just run like crazy.

Glock 17 gen 5. I'm carrying it in a Raven Phantom OWB like it's 2010 instead of AIWB because I had hernia surgery last fall and a followup procedure after getting an infection.

Glock 34 Gen 5.

I was so reluctant to buy one. I owned five different Glock models - two different generation 26 and 19’s.

I finally bought one once the slide was enclosed, the front lip was right, it had serrations, cut for a RDS, and I like the finish of the new Gen 5’s.

I’m very impressed. I might change the sights, but other then that - I’m extremely happy and I carry it all the time. I carried it today with the baby in a stroller for a walk in the neighborhood.

I never could get comfortable with the other models. Carrying a 34 AIWB - didn’t see that being what would win my heart.

Enclosed slide; I had been unaware of this change. Thanks for the heads-up! For a street/field gun, if there are openings on the top, there should be opening on the bottom, so that anything that falls in, can then be spit out. I had been leery of the previous G34, because of the open-top slide.
