Surprising to me that as of this writing, over 35% of responders carry a full-sized pistol. I knew there were some, but I didn't think there were quite that many.
 
99% of the time I carry a pocket auto in a little pocket holster. This is due to my job. On Saturdays or days off I like to carry an XD9 IWB. If I had the choice I don't know which one I would carry. I love them bot for different reasons.
 
Usually a Glock

My EDC is a Glock 23 because my work issues me one and I get to carry it off duty (I am in a plain clothed assignment and it hides well enough). Sometimes I have a Glock 22 though but if I want to be really low-key I can carry one of my snubs. It all depends.
 
What size do I carry most? Geez, that's a toss-up. My duty pistol is an M&P45 and I carry it in a duty rig, over 40 hours a week. Right now, I've got a J-frame in my pocket. If it's blue jeans, it's the j-frame, if it's slacks, it's the LCP. If I'm in the woods, there's a Super Blackhawk hanging from my belt, but often times I'll forget that the j-frame is in my pocket, so it goes along for the ride.

I'm limited to one woman, I'll tolerate no such foolishness from my handguns.
 
In the heat of summer, a LCP, or a Colt Mustang. In the pocket holster.
Anything other than shorts and tanktop weather, a Colt Defender, or a Sig 229. Both in an Alessi CQC-S.
 
I put full-size in the poll, but in reality it's a mix of the three. Most common carries for me are a S&W442 in pocket and/or a 1911 or M&P.45 or a HiPower 9mm IWB or OWB.

But sometimes I'll carry a K or N-frame revolver OWB.

The trick to the bigger guns is having a good quality holster supported by a good quality belt.
 
FM12 Rock

FM12: Where did you get your medium caliber rock? Got mine in central Texas. Flint. Awesome!
 
Should have allowed votes for multiple options. I carry a PPS in an IWB holster, and I carry a P380 (when it's not at Kahr) in my front pocket.
 
EDC is a pf9 in a pocket holster, if I need smaller its a p3at. Sometimes I carry a ruger service or security 6 or a sig sp2022. According the the weather and the need at hand. If I know that I'm going into harms way I just will take another route if possible.
 
There's sure a lot of folks packin guns

Walther PPS/9mm, Walther PPK/.380, S&W mod 37/.38, and a Ruger LCP when my wife lets me carry hers.

I carry all three of those sizes, just depends on what I am wearing, where I am going, what season it is, what phase the moon is in etc. .
 
Funny, but what I want to carry isn't what I usually end up carrying. Simply put, it needs to be concealed to be a "concealed weapon." As such I usually find myself with a P-11 in 9mm.
