EDC choices Does it say anything about you?

So are firearms like cars do they represent your personality?

I do notice that a lot of 1911 carriers are big, heavy, slow boomers just like their pistols. Limited capacity too, but that's not a big problem if you stick close to places with restrooms.

Dependable, reliable, economical, yeah I carry a Glock and drive a Civic!

Yeah we have a 2003 Honda Civic 5 speed 2 door coupe in our driveway lol has a whopping 78k miles on it.

Me I am 1911 guy. Although I do not appear to fit the above profile.

That is a keeper! My son drives an 04 Civic 2-door with... less than 120K @AllenM and company are very familiar with this ride (I think the roof and the passenger's door are the only original metal on the car.) He has a S&W M&P 2.0, possibly in the profile.

Love me some "basic b" AKs with iron sights, but I carry a Shadow Systems with a Trijicon RMR, so...

I drive a Tacoma, so maybe I like expensive stuff that is always kind of broken but still technically works.

My wife says I am full of sh hard to read, so who knows.

Nope. Your skill n intelligence.

It has to be that way because people that know me say I’m an A** ****. And I don’t carry a squirt gun. I’m in my 70’s

 

[Dean C.]

Honda Accord and a P365x , point of diminishing returns and all that, though I did splurge a bit and got the Accord with the Civic Type R 2.0 engine in it.

 

[Expat]

Ford Explorer ST (the 400 hp one), HK P2000 our USPc 45.

ETA: I am a boomer and carry or drive what I like.

Function before fashion, fashion follows form & 100% reliability

Glock 43 , 06 Dakota 4 door 4wd ......not realy pretty, works every time and don't care if I get a scratch in either.

 

[Hookeye]

Turbo 4 cyl and P365.

 

[DadSmith]

Ford F250 4x4 and a Pontiac Grand Prix
I carry depending where I'm going, and how warm or cool it is a combination of 3 different pistols. Right now in cooler weather it's my CZ P10F 9mm 19+1, if I'm hunting or working in the woods it's my Rock Island 10mm 1911 9+1, if it's warm out it's my Shield 45acp 1.0 7+1. I always carry a spare magazine or two as well.

Now diagnose that

Sig 226, full size 1911, or a Glock 43
GMC AT4 1500 and a Ford Fusion

Equipment choices are usually reveals. Owning up to those reveals is responsible. Judgement and Prejudice can come into play but shouldn’t be confused with facts. If you are still alive your EDC is working. It’s when you loose the gunfight that your choices become aware and of course, that’s a bit too late.

This boomer is a prisoner of my character and self imposed dignity. Ford Motor Company and Revolver most of the time and if I need high capacity I have a 45 SS 1911.

 

[tcecil88]

Fords and Glocks. I've been driving both since the 90"s, why change now?

 

[armalitesheepdog]

Ford F-150 and a quality 1911.
Yes I will have some apple pie with that

 

[T-DOGG]

Smart Car, Desert Eagle in .50AE in an Uncle Mikes OWB nylon holster w/o a retention strap.


Figure that one out!

 

[Robert Richardson]

Yeah, American made, GMC and 1911s in 45acp.

So you like ugly things that everyone else has too. Got it. Lol

Kia Rio sx manual(1 if 400 imported to the US) and 1911’s in gods caliber. Not a boomer. Technically gen x’er(?). Like my cars to be small, light and nimble. Like my edc to be large slow, pretty and accurate

I'm not a boomer, my parents are but I am not.

The human body really hasn't changed that much over the years. The .45acp was more than good enough for John Moses Browning and is more than good enough for me too.

I drive a Ford Explorer and carry choice is dependant upon weather, attire for where I maybe going and where I am going. But mostly, I carry either an M&P shield .45 or a Ruger ec9s along with an extra mag
