I currently have a Glock 17 with Heine Nigfht sights, Glock extended slide release, Grip Plug, about 10) 17 rounds mags, and an Insight Technology M3 tactical light. I use 124gr +P Gold Dot Hollow Points. I have it ready to go (ammo seperate from gun but on the same shelf, Hey I got a 4 year old) I use it for home defense and I am working on my CCw gun though.

Kahr PM9 (small, real small).
But I'd just love to have sooo many others. I'd like one of those cool Steyrs and I want one of those Walthers with the interchangeable backstraps and I'd like an HK P7...but I digress to the land off-topic-ness.
Haven't carried spare mags. I've carried the weapon in the top of a boot (it works better than you think) and in a Smartcarry.
I've tried Buffalo Bore 147-grain +P+ and Federal 124-grain +P+, among dozens of others.
The Federal is more accurate for me, though I'm sure that Buffalo Bore stuff would do the job (as would SOOOO many others).

My only 9mm is a Kel tec P-11 that i carry in my right front
pocket while i'am at work.I keep
it loaded with Black hills 115gr
+P's,i don't carry any spare mags
at present.
It is a toss up between a Kahr K9, Glock 26, or CZ 2075 Rami. All three of these pistols would work for me. Why would work for me? My current Glock is a G27 40 S&W and my CZ 2075 Rami is also a 40 S&W. Regards, Richard![]()
Glock 26 carried IWB with a UBG Stryker II Holster. Dont usually carry extra mags unless I'm going on a trip, then I carry one or two mags from my Glock 19 (15-30 rounds extra)
Gun control is hitting what you aim at...
My favorite 9mm is the G19, and the Sig228 a very close second.
For just CCW, I prefer the Kahr PM9, but the above do everything well.
Always carry a spare mag, method of carry varies day to day.
Ammo... Gold dot, cause thats what the boss gives me. After I burn that up, anything I find on the ground, or what evers in your gun.

I primarily carry either .357 sig or .40 caliber. However with that said, my favorite 9mm (that I own currently) is a Sig 239. I keep it loaded with Winchester Ranger ammo.
