I have had a CCW since 1986. I was a police officer for 21 years, and a firearms instructor for my department for 10 years in handgun, patrol rifle, and shotgun.
I have owned approximately 125 guns over the years and still have 22 handguns, 7 rifles, and 2 shotguns.
I spend a lot of time in the saddle riding the Tennessee back country and I always carry. In my holster, is almost always a .45 Colt SAA Uberti El Patron or a .357 S&W 686 2 1/2 inch revolver. Both are as reliable as a tire iron, accurate, and sufficiently powerful for any task I would encounter. My everyday CCW is, and has been since I bought it a year ago, a Glock 43 9 mm. It's light, slim, and reliable. All the rest of my guns are range toys or some used to dispatch pests on my ranch.
What are your go to, everyday guns?
