If you can think of it - I've probably owned one or two of them.

I've had my CCW since 1994, and during the past 17 years have carried everything from a North American Arms 22 "mini revolver" up to a Smith & Wesson 629 Classic (6" Full Lug 44Mag).

I've carried guns that most people haven't even heard of! For example...how many people know what a CZ27 or Radom Vis38 is?

After a lot of years of being a "Gun of the Week" guy I finally settled down and admitted that all of those ugly Glocks in my collection were the best carry guns I owned. I sold most everything else, but did keep a few others.

Here's my handgun collection....

Glock 17 with Night Sights (9x19mm)
Glock 19 with Night Sights (9x19mm)
Glock 20SF with Night Sights (10mm)
Glock 26 with Night Sights (9x19mm)
HK USP Compact with Night Sights (40SW)
Ruger LCP (380Acp)
Sig Sauer P220 SAO with Night Sights (45Acp)
Sig Sauer P220 Compact Elite SAO with Night Sights (45Acp)
Smith & Wesson 642 (38 Special +P)
Smith & Wesson 1911 E-Series (45Acp)

I also have a Ruger Mk3 22LR, but that's obviously not a CCW handgun. It does get carried on the trail, but just for fun (not defense).

Out of the handguns I own my favorite carry guns are:

Glock 19 with NS
Ruger LCP
S&W 642

The Smith 642 gets carried the most.
