What's in your pocket?

I have a CCW and favor a S&W 442 (38+P) or a Springfield XDS 9 both with SIG SAUER v crown PDF loads

What's your favorite carry weapon and load?
 
Glock 32, 2 Glock 31 15rd mags for spares, and ammo is 125gr gold dots. Speer if I can get it, Georgia Arms if not.
 
@freyasman is going to laugh at me :D. 5-shot Ruger SP101 .38/.357 with .38+P loads in a Bianchi Lightning OWB holster or a custom Kydex IWB holster I had made (depending on what I'm wearing). Two spare speed loaders. I don't train as much as I should, and this is the most fool-proof rig I could think of.

I carry 2 spare mags because I am absolutely phobic about running out of ammo, even though as a civilian it's practically unheard of to need a reload. I had 2 different firefights overseas where I got down to my last mag, and another where I just flat ran out and had to take ammo off wounded guys while the medics were working on them in order to stay in the fight. So now I carry about 4 times as much ammo as I think I'll ever need.
I think you should carry one spare mag minimum because if your mag malfunctions, the only quick fix is ripping it out and replacing it.
The ruger SP101 is a great piece, my wife has one and I wouldn't hesitate to carry it myself. I have been experimenting with different carry loads for her since she's a novice shooter, and recoil sensitive (another reason I'm glad she chose that little tank ;)), and I'm finding very few loads that will reliably expand even from her 3" barrel. They just don't get up to speed, and the ones that do, got some snap in them. I have been thinking of just trying the old school solution;

Get some sabre red pepper spray and a knife; spray 'em in the face and shank them in the scrotum.
Because you can't tourniquet the taint.;)

I'm home a lot and I have wasp spray to spray in the face of anyone who tries to force their way into my house.

Don't use that.... it's not very effective right away but it is toxic as hell. They will survive and sue the shit out of you.

No matter what I do they will probably sue me.

I think the best thing to do if someone shows up in my house unexpectedly is tell them to have a seat at my table and whip up something for them to eat and then chat them up while I'm cooking. I said this to my daughter once and she said, "yah. I can see you doing that".
 
Glock 31 .357 sig
Speers
And two extra mags.

Pop goes the weasel.

And if I'm in a situation that doesn't allow I carry a neck knife .

It mostly happens away from home, and mostly in parking lots.

I pay attention to what's going on in parking lots around me. And I check out my car before I get in and I park in places where I'm not squeezed in by someone who can grab me. I am careful when I'm out.

Any accosting or attacking that has ever taken place with me has been from someone I know and I can knock them flat with words. My ex husband threw me against the wall and I left home and never returned.

No stranger has ever accosted me and so I am fearless around strangers and I have rid my life of any acquaintance who would attack in any way. So. I guess I could be vulnerable to strangers in a parking lot since everyone seems pretty normal and nice to me and skin color doesn't raise flags. I"m careful.

Depending on my mood I accessorize with whichever piece best matches my shoes and belt.:cool:

Okay I jest. I don't carry every day although recently I've started carrying more than I dont.

When I do I usually take an LC9 with me most of the time. Got my wife the new LCP II .380 when it came out a few months ago and I carry it as well. Small, really light and easy to conceal.

My favorite carry was/is my Colt Mustang Pocketlite .380 in stainless with Pachmyar grips. But I rarely take it out because I worry if I shot someone I'd hate to have to give it up. That'd piss me off.

All of them are single stacks but I always have two mags full of Speer bonded jacketed hollow points. I figure if I can't hit a mugger with 12 shots I deserve to go down.
