My "off time and weekend carry" is a G31 at the moment, and this next week will transform to a G23.

I don't carry yet, the application just went into the mail today. When I do carry, it will be my Ruger P95.
Not real heavy, 15 rounds to a mag, 30 rounds on my person. 9MM ammo real cheap, I want to practice and be real comfortable with the hardware I carry. Cheap is good. It does have a safety, but I would feel real uncomfortable without one. Maybe some day I'll feel comfortable carrying a DAO. but for now pushing the safety up is an second nature me as I present it to my target.

I currently alternate between a Colt Defender and a Kimber Ultra Eclipse II. The Kimber's the more accurate/controllable of the two for me, but its empty weight is comparable to the loaded weight of the Colt. I'm currently debating selling/trading the Colt, but am not yet sure about it; despite the fact that it routinely -THWACKS- me in the forehead with brass, I'm kinda fond of it. (BTW, that problem disappears with quality, "hot" defensive ammo. It seems the pistol prefers the hotter ammo).
The Kimber's more finicky about cleanliness, though, while the Colt's never jammed, not once (not even when I had to scrape the powder crud off the rails with a brass brush and lots of solvent).
I'll probably keep and carry both for a good long while. The Kimber's my classy gun, the Colt's my knockabout pistol. And both, when clean and maintained, are highly reliable, extremely potent, and very concealable; I feel undergunned with neither.

All guns have at least two safeties. One's digital, one's cognitive. In other words - keep the digit off the trigger until ready to fire, and THINK. Some guns also have mechanical safeties on top of those. But if the first two don't work, the mechanical ones aren't guaranteed. - me

The wife really likes the Storm. Your report was a major factor in deciding.
Carry 24-7 or guess right.

My main carry is a Kimber Pro II 45 and I sometimes carry Smith & Wesson 9mm. The Kimber I know is a little heavy but I'm use to it. The way I'm built I have no trouble carrying and not printing even in a light shirt. I also ocassionaly pocket carry a small SA 380. just according to where i'm going and what I'm doing.

I look for ways to change that from time to time, but everything else is just sooooo heavy!

I cant carry since I dont live in the United States (I live in Illinois). However if I was able to carry it would be an HK P2000 and if the situation is bad enough an HK P2000sk.
I prefer a DAO polymer gun simply for the whole simplicity of it. I also enjoy the polymer for the lightweight and eas of carry.
Though I love 1911s.
