Glock 23 year round, but I just but a kahr CW40 so I am looking forward to that one as the weather gets warmer.
I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.
Voted subcompact. EDC is a G27, but recently tried a G17 and it couldnt be seen either, so may be a switch coming.

I have two handguns, a Glock 17 and a Springfield 1911 government. I alternate between the two as my everyday carry.
3" 1911 for me.

Compact Taurus PT140. Looking to get a Springer XD come summer time (still undecided on the 4" or 3" version), with possibly a J frame for a backup.

Beretta 92 Brigadier OWB in Galco Fletch or Combat Master, IWB Galco Scout. I'm not a large man but the size of this gun presents no carry problems for me.
I just downsized from a SW 357 Model 19 with 4" barrel - only fit/concealed well in a shoulder rig under a heavy jacket. I now carry a Ruger P94; many more carry options, but still considered full sized.
