G21.
Why - I had recently purchased it and needed to break it in. Since we had to bring 200 rounds to class, I figured I would kill 2 birds with one stone.
Do I still have it & carry it - yes and yes; however, it is not my EDC but normally pulls HD duty. It is currently on vacation at the BTC spa for guns getting a RDS.
Kel Tec PF9
I borrowed it from my wife's grandfather. I now have a LC9 and waiting (impatiently) for my carry license to get here
The class I went to had Ruger Mark II's for us to use. Must be a popular gun because I checked around, in another area, for a friend to take his class and all 5 places I found provided a Ruger Mark II lol. I like the gun so much went and bought myself one to plink with at the range.
I carry a Ruger sr9c. Have been thinking about getting a Glock 19.
Used my M&P 40 full size because it shoots great. Waiting for my CC license but will carry my PF9 when my license arrives.
This.

Only handgun I had at the time. It will soon be 60 years old, although in great shape. I just look at it every once in a while.
Mine was my Kimber ultra carry. It's still with me.
In my state, OREGON, we don't have a gun when taking our class. Our instructors did have us do a little gun safety exercise where we were to handle both a pistol and revolver which they provided and put snap caps in and "fire" while doing everything in a safe manner (muzzle always pointed in a safe direction, finger off the trigger until ready to fire, etc.). And I just applied for my CPL (concealed pistol license) in Washington state as I go into Washington fairly frequently. They didn't even require a class at all. Just fill out the paperwork, pay your fees, get fingerprinted, and wait for them to send it to you.
Ruger LC9. Traded it in for an M&P 22.
The gun I planned to carry - Glock 30 SF 3rd Gen
1. Because I wanted to qualify with the gun I planned to carry.
2. Yes, I plan to always carry this gun.
In Ohio, you don't have to qualify. As I was brand new to handguns, I used a couple of guns provided by the class. Both were Walther PPK clones, a Sig Sauer P232 and a Beretta.
1. I chose to try them due to their small size, the way they fit in my hand and I liked the smooth curvy style. They were both chambered in .380.
2. No. I ended up buying bigger pistols chambered in 9mm. I learned that the small, lightweight PPK clone pistols did't absorb recoil that well.
S&W .38 revolver.
Had it for something like 50 years.
Still have it.
My edc is a Sig p239.
I used my Colt Combat Goverment model .45acp.
Why? Because I wanted to use a real fight'en pistol !
Still carry it? Yep, from time to time, I have a several full size pistols I rotate (hard for me to pin down a favorite).
Ruger KP90DC and my MKIII Target Model. I was pretty broke at the time and couldn't afford enough 45ACP so I split my qualifying between my P90 and my MKIII.
Glock 19 still my edc
