I have an XD .45 GAP Tactical. I'll be getting the XD.40 S&W Tactical or .45 ACP (depending on the ammo situation) once things settle down from getting my new 870 Marine Magnum.

My first HD guns were Handguns. I'm a big fan of the .45 1911s and otherwise.

For EDC I like S&W Airweight revolvers, and 9mm compacts Kahr & Glock. All depends on how fast and accurate your shots are and how quickly you need to reload.

There's no substitute for regular, stress-innoculated training.

For HD or EDC I strongly advise Crimson Trace Laser Grips because... they have the rare ability to "De-Escalate" a potentially deadly encounter.

BUT Expensive Accessories can't compensate for Basic Shooting Fundamentals.

I picked up this S&W SD40VE on sale this past summer. Compact, but still holds 14 rounds of 40 caliber.

Nice, I carry a SD9VE or a Kahr P9 depending or my mood and/or how I'm dressed for the day.

I would suggest a Apex Tactical trigger and spring kit for your SD, I love mine.

These are the pistols I currently own. I'm a big 1911 fan boy, and probably shoot pistols more than I do anything else.

I bought my Rock Island 1911 years ago when I turned 21, It was my first handgun and 1911, it's a work horse and still kicking, the last year I replaced all the recoils / hammer springs, and a few years back had it sand blasted/stripped and painted the desert color it is today.

I just sold my wife's PX4 and upgraded her to a Kimber Solo. Still in the break in time on this gun. I'm hoping in time to like this one more that I do now. It is dead on, but not used to the kick behind it.

My carry gun is a Kimber Aegis Pro, it's a 9mm shoots like a dream. I've have two friends that have shot it and had to buy one of their own. (the 3 inch is one of my friends). These 9mm 1911's are still very light, and I don't feel that I have lost any accuracy from my full size to the 4.1 inch barrel. Plus I get to Carry 9 - 10 rounds depending on which mags I am using it.

Nice! I want to get a basic Springfield milspec. To target shoot, home defense, and possibly carry. Love the 1911s.

I carry a Glock 27 .40 S&W and a KelTec P3AT .380 backup when off duty. I carry the G27 as a backup and the KelTec as a hideout along with an issue Glock 22 sidearm while on duty. I do the Glocks since that is what I'm issued.
