What is your EDC caliber?

[DadSmith]

What is your everyday handgun carry caliber/s?
I think it would be interested to see what people are carrying nowadays.
I'm sure 9mm will be #1, but what are other calibers that people might be carrying?

If you like you can tell us why you carry a certain caliber as well.

I can only post 10 choices.
If your EDC caliber didn't make it you can always post, and tell us what you use.

This will be anonymous, and you can pick upto three choices as some days one caliber might not fit the mission so you use a different caliber.

moved to 9 this year. Prior to that it was .40.

I also sometimes carry a 357 snubby. Most of the time it's a 9mm.

Where is the S&W 500 magnum option ?
Maybe not carried every day ... but some days !

Everyone knows you only need 11 rounds of .22lr, this isn't Kandahar

 

[Expat]

Since I am getting old and weak, I have moved to the 9mm. Yes, I am now a big wuss.

Bacon is overrated compared to ribeye.

125 grain JHP handloads in 9mm - effective and cheap to shoot.

Marinated deer backstrap beats bacon.

I've carried several different calibers over the years but, recently switched back to .45 acp as I tend to shoot that most accurately.
9mm works...but haven't really trusted it, especially when one understands it's inherent weaknesses.
Occasionally I slip a J-frame revolver (.357) in a pocket for a run out to a store if something is needed quickly.

While it is usually 9 for me, I do like me a fowdee!

I tend to rock the G23.4 more often in winter because it is a little larger than the G48 and easier to conceal OWB with heavier clothing. I "grew up" with 40 so I don't share the same hate for it as others. To me 9 vs 40 is just chocolate vs strawberry.

9mm, but I lean towards the heavier loads.

Modern ballistics, expansion and higher capacity makes it a winner for me

10mm 1911...or S&W 629 44 magnum.

 

[johntheplinker]

9mm has always been my primary with 380 used when ultimate concealment was paramount. With the newer micro 9s the 380 went away. Good ol' 45 has joined the 9 at times, and if everything goes according to plan it will become about 50/50.

just chocolate vs strawberry.

You say that like Chocolate and strawberry are equal ... To semi quote Pulp Fiction :

ain't the same ****ing ball park. It ain't the same league. It ain't even the same ****ing sport!

Don't even let me hear you utter a word about pineapple being a legit pizza topping...

I did a double-take then saw your location. Down in southern Harrison County you got bears. Not to mention people from Crawford County.

 

[KellyinAvon]

9mm, Hornady Critical Duty 135gr +P

 

[Kdf101]

9mm, sometimes 45. Also pineapple.
