Most preferred carry pistol/size?

[G26Raven]

Glock 26 when I don't need to tuck a shirt. Kahr PM9 in a Remora in the pocket when I need to dress up. Split about 60% G26 and 40% Kahr.

I used to carry a .380 Sig P-232 until I learned that a Kimber Ultra Raptor II has similar dimensions. Now, it's the Kimber 100% of the time.

Then the Kimber started giving me reliability issues, and I'm back to the Sig. I'm still working with the Kimber though and I think, with time, it will come around. The Sig, although a smaller caliber, required zero break in, shoots anything I load into it, and instinctively hits right where I point it. It's also comfortable to wear for twelve or thirteen hours straight. There's a lot to be said for that.

Have you contacted Kimber? I had a minor, non-reliability issue with my new Compact CDP II, called Kimber and they fixed it quickly on their nickel. Great folks that stand behind their products!

25% of the time it's the P226 9mm.

I currently carry a full size M&P45 but soon I hope to be carrying a .40 cal M&P Shield. I got a 9 for my wife and she loves it (me, too) as she hated shooting the PF9 which we thankfully sold off. I got a chance to shoot someone's .40 cal Shield at the range while I was shooting my wife's 9 and I found the difference in recoil to be imperceptible to me, so I'm getting the .40 when I can. Then I can have a pistol the size of the PF9 (which I hated shooting) which I love to shoot.

S&W M&P 9c - 5%
Sig p238 HDW - 70%
Seecamp .32 LWS - 25%

I carry my Sig P238 the most because I carry it IWB which I prefer to pocket carrying the seecamp. I rarely carry my m&p 9c anymore just because its too bulky for me to carry IWB. I plan on replacing my sig p238 with a m&p shield 9mm when I can find one for purchase. A thin single stack with a thumb safety (personal preference) carried IWB is my idea of a perfect carry gun.

70% Sig Sauer P238
30% Kimber Ultra Crimsom Carry
I like the Sig due to it's size and shooting ability. Keep it loaded with CorBon's
This little gun is accurate to 25yards, at least that is as far as I have shot it at the range. I feel comfortable with it also.

I've not called them yet. I thought I'd take it to the range again and see what happens. I may do that Friday. I could have just had a bad session and been "limp wristing" the thing or something. I was all over the paper with it that day, so it wasn't a good day. I was carrying the Sig also, so I pulled it out and emptied a magazine and had the satisfaction of hitting center mass with something before I left.

At one range where I used to shoot, they had a huge sign on the fence by the out-going gate: "Your worst day on the range is better than your best day at work."
