STI Guardian (45 acp) in a Galco IWB rig. In the field I carry a Ruger GP100. I have various other handguns at my disposal, but those are my primaries.

On or near me virtually 100% of the time (particularly now that Georgia has started to bring common sense back into her gun laws): my Kel-Tec P3AT.

If I'm headed into the 'sportier' sections of Atlanta or Clayton County, or any of the major regional shopping malls then it's my S&W 3913.

I want something in a 1911 platform, but funds have not yet become available (read: I can't quit spending my other money first on milsurps as I find them. Is that like a premature disbursement?)

[begin serious thread derailment/heated argument] What's the best 1911 style gun for concealed carry?

AZMARK - how do you like the FEG Hi-Power clone? Those seem interesting to me.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Careful, that question might be loaded! Seriously, I can carry a full-size 1911 in an IWB holster easier than a .38 snubbie. That said, the 38+ oz. of a steel framed 1911 does get a trifle wearisome. I think I'm going to start looking for a Caspian titanium frame, and build a carry gun on that, since it would weigh (in Commander length) about 26 oz., and would be more durable than an aluminum one.

I carry my XD .45 compact with the shorter mag in an inside the waistband holster, and my 1911 A1, only lightly customized, somewhere else, depending on how I'm dressed.

I'm not AZMARK, nor do I play one on TV.....

IIRC the FEG's are very true, quality copies of the FN BHP's. I don't recall reading or hearing of anyone with one that didn't like it because it was Hungarian, and, again IIRC, I think the Charles Daly HPs were actualy manufactured in the same factory as the FEGs. (I'll have to double check that)

I'm very happy with my BHPs as carry pieces and have no real interest in getting anything else for CCW, except maybe a J frame for a BUG and casual carry.

My FEG HiPower was better finished and more accurate than my FN HiPower. Cost less than half as much, too. Kicking myself for not picking up one of the Charles Daly models before they went out of production.

I'm really beginning to like it, the only issue I have so far is remembering it doesn't have a beavertail like the Springer. I've been bitten a couple of times rapid fire when my grip was just bit too high.
