Primary, my P32 is my backup.

Primary for me, when I can't comfortably carry my Kimber SS Compact.

My Kahr is “primary” only for certain days of the week, during a certain time frame within those 5 (sometimes 6) days… if ya catch my drift! ;)

The rest of the time it’s a G34, G19 or G17… my Kahr does back those GLOCKs up a lot though.

I don’t find it difficult at all to conceal a full size GLOCK in an OWB holster held at 3:00 so I’d rather have the 18 rounds, good sight radius & full grip if I can… when I can’t it has to be the Kahr!

My "plan" is to turn my PM9 into my Florida primary carry pistol. Should fit nicely in a Hedley front pocket carry holster in my new "Crocadile Hunter" style shorts. (I'm a jean guy, but changing clothing style after my Florida relocation.)

In Ahia, I carry sub-Glock 40sw (G33 hybrid with G27 barrel) in fanny pack. That might be a bit bulky in Florida garb, although, I will try carrying it in Sidearmor 4th gen IWB holster at times. The 4G holster is brand new, never used, since Ahia has that stupid concealed, but exposed car carry provision.

Oh, not to mention the Rohrbaugh R9-S on order...

Carry the Glock G-30 whenever I can do so. I carry the PM9 as a back up or when I cant dress for the G-30 I will carry the PM9 as my primary.

My PM9 is my primary most of the time, my K40 is my primary on other occasions.

My PM9 is my primary - I carry the 7 round mag for backup.

My PM9 will be my primary when I am not carrying my G-27. It may be a backup for the 27. However I really don't carry a backup. But I allways try and carry a spare mag.

The PM9 is a primary for me in an Alessi Talon Clip IWB and a Milt Sparks 55BN OWB. I also carry a Sig P239 357 Sig in the 55BN.

I love the way the Kahr is so light and disappears perfectly. It's so light, I carry it in a Safepacker with extra mags when I go climbing in the backcountry and on approaches to and on 14,000 ft. peaks

It is typically either the G26 or the PM9. Either with one backup mag.

I don't feel undergunned with the PM9 (6+1, +7). I must say however with the Glock (10+1, +17) I feel better prepared.

It's pretty rare for my to pack the G34 (although I probably could, but it lives in the nightstand).

My Sig 245 (6+1, +8) has been living in the lockbox of my truck lately. Perhaps that could be considered a back-up gun. Of course it's bigger that either of my primary guns.

When the weather is cool (below 70) I usually wear a sport coat and a G30, sometimes with a PM9 in tow.

When the weather is warm (71 - 105) I wear the Kahr in a Safariland stuff-in holster at 3 o'clock - no belt needed, it just clips to my waist band.

When the weather is hot (106 and above) I pull out both the G30 and the PM9 and shoot at the sun until it takes heed and calms down.

Careful not to use the 45 for too much shooting at the sun. If you increase its mass too much, it will create more gravity and pull us even closer. Perhaps that is what REALLY causes global warming.
