What’s everyone carrying today? I’ve got my dad’s old SIG P220 with me. It always hits me right in the feels with nostalgia every time I take it out.

I had a P220 (and a P226) quite a few years ago. I use the P220 in a 3-day pistol instructor course. Went through almost 1500 rds. and not one malfunction of and kind. Too big of pistol for me for CCW. Loved both pistols, though. Nowadays it's a Sig P238, M&P Bodyguard or M&P Shield 2.0.
 
Bought a used 226 yrs.ago, & liked it so much I bought a very lightly used 220, which I like even more.
Both mine are "older" pistols, marked made in West Germany

Agree on that size issue as well :ROFLMAO:
 
I've been carrying a Glock 29 10mm compact virtually every day for many years. I use Double Tap 135 grain HP, 11 rounds in the gun, with one 15 round G20 mag for a spare.
A couple weeks ago I picked up a used Ruger LC Carbine in 45 ACP (I wanted it in 10mm) but the deal was too good to pass up. So it's in a discrete carry backpack along with my Glock 21 and extra magazines for backup.
These are interesting firearms, they function very reliably, and fit within an interesting set of regulations.

It's a folder, and has a 16.25" barrel, and per ATF is a rifle, however because it folds to under 26" it MUST be registered as a pistol in Michigan. This allows a CPL holder in Michigan to carry it as any registered pistol can be carried in Michigan.

Nice set ups. I carry the G29's bigger brother the G20 for out West bow hunts. Little heavier rounds but obviously for quadrupeds not bipeds. The 135s are great loads for the 10mm. Speed kills. Love the Ruger LC 45 acp

I've always preferred light and fast for most applications, but for penetration heavier at as fast as possible is a must!
On LC, I picked up four SGM 26 rd mags. Video's mostly show them failing. I figured out why. They overmold the polymer over steel body, I found that out of the four I bought, only two accepted a full load of 26 rounds, and on the other two the rounds got stuck about halfway down. All had sticking issues. I disassembled all of them and removed excess polymer in a number of locations, especially at the mouths and holes in the steel liners all the way down the body. After sanding and carving that away, I am happy to say they all worked flawlessly! I do believe SGM makes the best extended Glock magazines, particularly in 10mm, but they do need a little work to make them function correctly, at least in the 45 ACP mags.
