What do you carry at night?

[GetYerShells]

Hello everyone. I have a couple of questions. What do you guys carry at night vs day or do you carry the same thing? I know sometimes during the day I carry my Springfield GI 1911. At night however it is strictly my Sig P226 because of the night sights. I walk my dog at night right before I go to bed so I feel better with my Sig because I get a really good sight picture. I'm just interested in your all's input. Also how does your night time carry routine vary from your day carry routine?

I usually just make sure I have a extra mag if I carry my 1911 of my PF-9 at night. I dont usually carry a spare in the daytime. If I am carrying my Sigma a never carry a spare mag, its a hi-cap

I use the same gun for day and night–a S&W M&P40 with night sights.

I dont change. I use the same revolver. 642 with CT laser sights. If its bright, I have the pistol sights, in low light I have the laser sight.

Day or night either seecamp 32 or beretta 21a 22lr. In the front pocket always. If going in the car S@W .M@p 40.

I don't change based on time of day; I do change based on the location/environment that I may be entering.

22 mag

High Standard .22 mag o/u in a wallet holster when walking the dog at night. Very concealable, quick two-shots. .22 mag at close range is nasty.

when I carried, same gun as during the day: H&K USP Compact 9mm with night sights.

If I'm going to be out at night, a Streamlight TLR-2 goes on the belt, otherwise no change from daytime carry.

My night-time gun is the same as my day-time gun. I am looking into night-sights, but haven't put any on as of yet...

My day/night carry doesn't change. Area I go to might change what I carry. What I wear might change what I carry but time doesn't really make a difference.

More than likely you won't be using your sights in a SD situation.

Trijicons on my Steyr S40 - day/night carry.

 

[madmo44mag]

I have two carry guns depending on what I am wearing that day / night
A Rossi 44 Spl snubbie and a S&W 908 compact.
In a SD situation it's point and shoot.
In a SD situation you likely don't have time to line up a shot so aim off the front blade and squeeze.

If going out at night, I just make sure to charge up my Nitesiters on my PT140, and I keep a Maglite with me. I'd love to tote my XD with the Streamlight TLR-2 hanging from the rail, but that's just a bit on the uncomfortably huge side.
