My default is a G23 in .40 S&W. In the beginning of CHL years ago, I was studying on what my daily carry would be (I was rotating between a S&W Model 36 and a full size Security Six) and was vacillating between the .40 and .45 ACP which was an internal argument between "decent" ballistics + capacity and "great" ballistics with a reduced capacity. Then in the middle of all that the first Texas CHL shooting occured. A single .40 S&W dropped a 400# Samoan that was beating on a smaller guy. So .40 it is.

Most of the time I carry 9mm in a sub-compact gun. I do sometimes carry a .45 ACP compact, but typically reserve that for my truck or house gun.

9 mm might expand but .45 ACP never shrinks.

I have to know: What holster did you find for PX4? I'm still looking for "the right one" for mine.

Everyone knows 9mm is the perfect round. Not too big, not to small, just right.

Maxwell,
I bought a Don Hume IWB with a body shield. H715. Great fit and retention. Easy on and off.

I love carrying my Colt Defender .45acp but I end up carrying my XD9SC most often. When I'm out camping or such the .41 mag gets the nod.

Since I haven't figured out how to carry my AR pistol I carry my G26. Vote for 9mm, I enjoy the higher capacity. :txflag:

I would however like to get a 9mm and a .45 as alternate carries some day.
