What is your EDC Pistol?

Springfield SA-35 (HiPower) milled for a Trijicon RMR dot. Winchester Ranger 127 grain +P+.
S&W model 12. Federal 125 Nyclad std pressure.
S&W 642UC. Speer 135 +P Gold Dot.

-------

If I'm feeling extra revolvery, the #1 gun becomes a S&W 65, either a 4" SB, or 3" RB. Speer 38 +P 135 Gold Dots.

Working up to carrying a S&W 21 .44 Special. Underwood 200 wadcutters in the gun, Corbin 200 DPX or Speer 200 Gold Dots for reloads (because speed loading wadcutters doesn't happen.)
 
I have at least a dozen carry guns I will rotate around for the fun of it but the most carried by far are two Taurus pistols. A G2c 40 and also a Slim 709. I have two of the G2c 40’s, one black and one OD green. They work. The 709 is quite slim and light so it’s a nice hot weather not a lot of clothes pistol.
NY sucks for EDC and all the "sensitive" places that you can't. Pretty much all the places you would want it.

I bought 3 of the Taurus 709 Slim back in 2020. Field and Stream was doing clearance stuff, they were $120 each. I now own one as my son and daughter got the other 2.
 
Sig 229(no rail) in 357sig with underwood 125 gold dots

Snub Cobra 38 spl with 135 +p GDs when the Sig doesn’t work

That's an absolutely wild price for a pistol, even on sale. I paid $315 out the door for a S&W Shield 9 a few years back at Bass Pro.

I also have a 709 Slim. . . an absolutely under-rated Taurus pistol in my opinion--it's too bad they discontinued them. Mine has been 100% reliable and I carry it somewhat frequently in warm weather.

So true…and it’s even worse in NYC where only criminals carry. I rarely if ever carry my Ruger EC9s because the only time I feel I need a weapon is when I go into the jungle that NYC has become. The EC9s is a concealable piece even with the optional 9 round magazine.

Funny, sad? My son just sent back his Suffolk County pistol license with concealed carry since he moved to VA. All the things he read is that's it's easier to get a non-resident NYC concealed carry for him than it is for me to get an NYC CC.
