I just upgraded my Ruger LCP to an LCP Max. It corrected all the things I didn't like about the LCP. Better trigger, last round hold open, better sights and a bit better capacity. Grip is little wider also.

Depends on my mood and how I'm dressed (pants or shorts, etc.). I usually carry my Ruger Security 9. Other times I carry my .45 1911.

I have three (off-duty), depending on the threat level of where I'm going. From worse/unknown to least: 1) Kimber ProCarry II 4" .45ACP; 2) S&W Mod. 60 2" .357Mag; 3) Walther PPK .380.

On duty it is normally a S&W Mod. 586 4" .357Mag with the Mod. 60 as a backup.

SA Hellcat 9mm in a cargo pocket holster. I sometimes shift to a SA xDS 45ACP or Sig P938 Equinox depending on circumstances. When we have a bear problem in the area, it's a xDM modified for 460 Rowland using Lehigh penetrators. Where we live, it's Constitutional Carry, no concealed permit required. Many get an out of state permit that's good in at least 32 states. Here about 70% of the men and 40% of the women carry. We were on the ISIS hit list because we had a soldier rack up a number of kills. At church, the pastor would get off the first shots given his view of the door. Other than that, crime is low because most every home has firearms with people who know how to use them. Since we're near the border with Canada, Illegals mostly give our area a wide berth. Occasionally, we flush out a few in the forest and have CBP pick them up.

What ever fits in the bag, revolvers are nice, a 357mag, will just do about anything.

One that works that I know how to use well. When the Supreme Court opened the flood gates (as a Californian) I thought I was in hog heaven, then I realized, oh, it actually has to be concealable, then oh I actually have to be very competent with it.

So full size guns are out, at least for me. Then, I'm old. So I'm far sighted, but when I shoot at the range I use prescription eye pro for Iron Sights, but I'm not walking around with glasses all the time unless I need to read up close.

So now I've put a Red Dot on it. Then the magazine release is on the small side so it's hard to eject the mag. So I put a larger one on there. Additionally, I put on Talon Grip tape. I'll leave the trigger OEM of course, but I can use it will enough nearly on par with my competition guns.

Glock 26, with Red Dot, and Grip Tape.

Either an Sig 229 or a 365 depending on how I am dressed and how concealed I want it to be.
