What caliber do you MOSTLY opt to carry off duty?

[TrailerparkTrash]

Just curious what caliber everyone carries the most when off duty, retired LEO or ANY CCW holder likes to use. I know many like me switch from gun to gun (including caliber) like a newborn switches diapers throughout the day. Just trying to see what the single most popular caliber is for off duty or CCW use is these days amongst us CG’ers.

Thanks.

Ps...it’s an anonymous poll.

I carried the same 9mm pistol on and off duty. After retirement, I am carrying a Glock 17 now.

Wish the poll allowed multiple answers because I really like my Smith 10mm but I carry the M&P40c more often in California because of the heat. I carry a 380 as a BUG and for beach days but mostly the .40

9mm.
Modern ammo technology makes this an easy choice. I used to carry a .45/1911 cocked & locked but why carry 8 when you can have 18?
Aim for the Face.

Prior to retiring I carried a compact version of what I carried on duty, I wanted similar controls to what I had on duty.

Now it depends mostly on the weather as to what I'm carrying, but mostly it's a 9 or a .45. If I was able to purchase off roster it would be a .45 exclusively.

Answered 38 Special, +P actually. Think 9is the best overall caliber but that snubbie revolvers are the easiest to carry and deploy.

All I run is 9mm. Even got the Ruger LCR in 9mm.

The 3 on my permit are all different calibers. 380 auto, 38 special, and 9mm. BUT, since I carry the G19 over 90% of the time, I voted for 9mm.

I think it would also be interesting to know the most common action types of CCW/LEO. Because again, the 3 on my permit are all different

9mm, I carry my G26 off duty.

9.


We are issued a Glock 22 with the option to qualify with personal owned. So, I carry a M&P FS 9mm at work, and a M&P 2.0 9mm compact or a shield outside of it.

Switch from Springfield Mod2 9mm FDE to the Glock19 gen5 9mm...loaded with Winchester T-Series my preference.
