Varies depending on time of year, and accordingly, mode of dress.
Kimber 3" alloy-framed Ultra Carry
S&W 4" N-frame in .357, 45acp or 45 Colt
Kahr P45
Kahr PM9
I also own an LCP but don't (yet) carry it.

I rotate between three compacts for pocket carry:
S&W 642
Kel-Tec PF-9
Kel-Tec P-3AT
I find that I come up with fewer excuses to not carry when they're small and light. Others I've carried in the past were a S&W M&P9c and a S&W 4" k-frame revolver. They simply got in the way too much.
No bug.

AHHHH !! sorry screwed up the voting, should of been "Don't carry a bug. Some times I get ahead of myself by not reading all before answering question. If I can't take care of business with one gun, I don't need to be "armed".

My 2 carry’s are a 442 and a M&P 40c both pocket carry but not at the same time. About 70% 442 30% M&P or other.

S&W Model 65 3in. or Colt Detective Special for primary most of the time if I am heading for civilization. Old S&W M&P 2in or my Norinco 213for working around the yard. A .357 4in or .44Spl. or 45 Colt if I am woods bummin'. Occasionally I will carry my Browning Hi-power or a 1911 as primary when the mood strikes. My bug is an Iver Johnson TP-22 which is always with me if I am dressed. The only time I don't carry a back-up is at the beach when I carry a .22lr Freedom Arms Mini revolver in a ziplock bag in the change pocket of my swim trunks as primary. Of course I will have something heavier in the car.

My two carry guns?
I carry my Wilson Combat Professional (4") as main carry gun.
When I feel I need to carry two guns, my bug is a Rohrbaugh .380 (I just love that little rascal and it shoots good too).

My usual carry setup is:
Most of the time I cannot dual carry due to my work. During work hours I will only carry my LCP in the above mentioned chest holster. I wear a dress-shirt & tie with one button undone. This allows for quick and easy access to my LCP if the SHTF.
- Smith & Wesson M&P40 Full Size in a CCC Looper (IWB) at a 4 O'clock position.
- Ruger LCP in a custom elastic chest-hugging holster between my bicep and chest.

No BUG. I choose from Glock 26, Glock 19, Bersa .380acp, Beretta 21A .25acp depending on what I'm wearing. Mostly the 26.

Primary when at work is a SIG P229R in .40 S&W (because they issued me one and said I shall carry it in lieu of the lovely 1911 I was carrying at the time). BUG is any one of the off-duty guns listed below:
Walther PPK
Kahr PM40
Kel-Tec P3AT
S&W 31-1 2" (the only revolver currently in the mix)
Off-duty I carry some mix of two of the above, usually something and the Kel-Tec.
Normally, I carry one reload for each weapon, primary and BUG. The BUG is there because, among all the other reasons, if I wind up having to shoot, responding units (my own or those wherever I am) will have to take the gun I used. I don't want to find myself suddenly alone and unarmed and on my way home in sight of whatever friends the eejit who attacked me might have had nearby. I also keep a knife and some sort of yawara (Kubotan or suitable pen) at hand as well.

I carry whatever I can get away with:
I open carry a full-size .357 in the woods, or in the truck.
I concealed-carry a medium size Taurus auto in a shoulder rig, but if dress or conditions prohibits I carry a tiny Beretta .32 Tomcat IWB.
And sometimes I don't carry a gun, but almost always a knife.
Usually if I am armed with a rifle I carry a sidearm, but I don't consider it a 'BUG'. The Taurus usually fills this role due to reload efficiency, or the .357 if hunting.

Always gun is a smith 638.If cold weather and going to a not so nice area 638 in the pocket and 1911 (IWB).Normally just the 638.I usually avoid areas that make me feel I need two.If I wasnt in contact with a lot of people at work every day I would love to carry the 1911 every day,just love that pistol.
