Favorite Duty Weapon/Back up Weapon

[psango]

Old timer here:

We're talking back in the day 15yrs. ago, Sig P228 9mm duty, and P230 .380 as a bug and off duty.

Work:
Kimber Stainless Classic LE (with 6+1 Wilson 47D's)
S&W Bodyguard 380

Not at work (depending on clothing/ event/ mood):
Kimber Compact CDP
Colt Pocket Nine
Kimber Solo
S&W Bodyguard
Browning Hi Power

Looking for a S&W 25-5 (.45LC) for use during mounted (Horse) deployments

Mikel, I have a 17 rounder in the gun and a 3 mag holder on the belt. It takes up only a minuscule amount more of real estate than a 2 mag pouch. It's added insurance.

Duty: H&K USP in .45ACP with old school UTL and a S&W 640 in a pocket.

Off Duty:H&K P7M8 or the 640 depending on what I'm up to or what I'm wearing that day.

Thanks for the reply. Looking into a 3 mag open top belt holder...does Safariland make yours?

[Roddd]

Yes, mine is a Safariland. I absolutely love it. It's actually served as a visual deterrent in a few instances when people size me up and they've commented on it. Although that wasn't the purpose, it's a bonus.

On/Off - Old school S&W 4506-1
BUG - PPK .380

Gotta love the size of that 4506... What a hand cannon! Felt like it too!

When you carry a 1911 do you have the hammer back or do you carry it with the hammer down?

[hitman13]

Anyone with a brain carries cocked and locked

Why would anyone carry a 1911 with the hammer down? If it is not cocked and locked, it might as well be a tomahawk in a gunfight because you are better throwing it at the dude downrange. It takes fine motor skills to cock the hammer, and in a stress situation, you won't remember to cock the hammer and wonder why the gun doesn't go "bang." PD's that authorize the 1911 carry it cocked and locked for that very reason.

[ExAcHog]

Kimber 1911 and S&W 642.

+1...Dead on!
