    I've been carrying my 469 since I bought it new in 87. I've had several other carry guns, but it still sees regular use. I have no idea how many rounds I've put through it, but it's a lot.

    For some reason it wont take my picture. Anyway, Gen3 Glock19 with RMR for about ten years now. This is my main carry gun and was my main training gun for quite a while until I got a back up. At about 80,000 rds I put a new ZEV barrel in it.

    I've carried many different guns since the late 70s, but a lot of them have been traded or sold. Currently my longest serving carry gun is a S&W 642-1, from the mid 90s.

    Been carrying a Kahr PM9 since it first appeared on the scene. Bought a Sig P365 to replace it but don't have enough rounds through it yet to consider it a self defense weapon. Before the PM9 it was pretty much what I practiced with that week since back then I just about lived at the range.

    Saw this question the other day and it got me thinking , my Dan Wesson ECO would be it for me. Carried it very regularly for the last 5 years which is not bad considering I got my CCW at 18 only 7 years ago! As usual a thread is worthless without good picks

    Original set up, almost embarrassed to admit I had crimson trace grips on it ...

    Current set up, switched to VZ slimline G10 grips and switched over to leather holsters from kydex.

    And yes I am bored

    Edit: Open carry guns are included all guns whatever you carry daily, unless it’s a Obrez....

    I missed the boots the first time around. Are those the Red Wing Classic Moc?

    Correct, I have a thing for Goodyear welted shoes though moved away from Red Wing and to Allen Edmonds

    How do you like the Mocs? I have been looking at them for a bit but need to get into a Red Wing store to see if they fit my feet. I went in.for a pair of Iron Rangers a few years ago, but they didn't fit right with the tall vamp of my foot. Never tried any other Red Wing stuff.

    I can't say I've tried on any AE Boots but I like the look of the Higgins Mills.

    I have a Glock 19 that I carried for a little over 5 years.
    I decided to finally make the jump into a dot a few years back. So I bought another 19 and had it milled and outfitted with an RMR and soon after switched to it for EDC. The round count on the other was getting high anyhow, and it has now has been retired. The current EDC I'm sure/I'd hope will go well beyond 5 years.

    The Mocs are OK, IMHO I think the soles on the Red Wings are a bit on the hard side which is why I went over to Allen Edmonds, that and Allen Edmonds makes my ridiculous 10 EEE size

    Similar to the Higgins Mill the Sullivan Streets are my favorite pair of boots I own. Also they are on a killer sale right now apparently

    HK P30L, V3 in 40. Bought on a whim five years ago. Carried every day since, finish is gone but the sights are still bright.

    I'll be buried with that gun.
