Hi Matt / PA,

My wife and I share several handguns that we carry. Depending upon dress, activity, local, and of course anticipated threat level.

Springfield XD 4" .40 S&W
ParaOrdnance P-12 .45 ACP
Glock G-26 9x19
S&W Md 65LS 3" .357 Mag
S&W Md 649 2 1/8" .357 Mag
S&W Md 642 1 7/8" .38 Spec
KelTec P3AT .380 ACP
KelTec P32 .32 ACP

We have additional handguns, but those listed above see the CCW duties. I will usually carry either the XD .40 or the G-26 as my primary and the P3AT as a BUG. The wife normally has the 642 or the G-26 as her primary and sometimes will carry the P32 as a BUG. Though the other guns listed above will sometimes get rotated in for various reasons.

The carry loads vary from gun to gun. It's fair to say that either Corbon, Speer Gold Dots, or Federal Hydrashoks get the nod most of the time! The exception is the .357 Magnums which get Federal Classic 125 grain JHP when carried with magnum loads. Though they sometimes have the same Speer Gold Dots 135 grain .38+P's we use in the short barreled .38, as they have less muzzle flash and will expand when fired from a 2" barrel.
