For the last few months, this. HK VP9SK. Before that, for over 10 years, my SA XDs .45.

Tisas Stingray 9mm in TTGunleather. Or my Colt Combat Elite. Carried a TRP for a little while but the thing made my Colt feel like a Commander and felt much heavier for some reason.

I have carried a Ruger SP101 as my EDC for many years, but of late, I am thinking of going to a semi auto for various reasons. Although I love the SP 101, in this day and age, combined with my getting older and other factors, there may be better choices for EDC. I know alot of guys that carry micro, compact, medium and large frame semi autos as their EDC. I have been fortunate enough to try many of them at the range and have asked everyone the same question....Why is this your EDC? It's obvious that there is no one "best" EDC, it depends on the person and many other factors....

I am pretty sure alot of us have experimented with EDC pistols, trying to find "the one" that is perfect for you and your situation. I know I have shot over 15 different semi autos in the last 2 months or so and have narrowed the field to a handful. I will be making my final decision soon after a bit more shooting and research....I am not one to switch between multiple handguns for seasons, area to be visited and such, so I need to consider several factors in my final decision...

Just curious, what is your "go to" EDC? Even if you have cycled through multiple choices, what one EDC do you always return to and why? Thanks for any input...

At this time, usually a gen5 G19... lightweight, concealable, and capable of hard hits depending on ammo used. Frankly, however, altho I own a couple and have for years, I'm getting tired of the whole "glock thing". Never been comfortable with the lack of a safety.
Sometimes a S&W 411 in .40S&W. Solid metal, no plastic, and DA/SA hammer-fired. It's an oldie, dated certainly, but powerful and hard-hitting. I like the DA/SA feature and the hammer-drop. 180 gr JHP suit me fine.. Looking at a .40 S&W Beretta PX4 Storm which might be an edc for me in future.
I used to carry one version or another of the 1911 most of the time but have gotten away from it as newer cartridges and loadings become available. Still I keep a .45acp available.. set back my little .38's but keep them around cuz... ya never know, right?

I still stand by my ‘91 Sig 228
Got to the point where I said screw replacement value. Went back about 6 months ago to the gun after about a 5 yr hiatus. Gets taken by Leo in a shoot or whatever, Im going with muscle memory off 30yrs of it works for me.

This is so sad. I don't even really like it. I currently carry my Smith CSX. Its milled for and has a red dot. Its small, light and carries 12+1.

Bbbbbuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttt.........., it is not what I want, but it is probably as close as I can get. For a while.

So until someone comes out with a DA/SA sub 21 oz. 9mm or .40 that is optics ready, has a rail for a light and has 10+ capacity. I will be lazy, discontented and make do.
