I love my Baretta 92FS. Large for some, just right for me :)
Some of us at work talk about our EDC's, referring to them w/ names.
Mine happens to be "Jennifer".
Cannot imagine carrying a 92FS, although I have one. Assuming you're talking about "concealed" carry, and I have a hard time understanding
why that would be a choice for that. It's HUGE.
Mine is a S&W M&P Shield Plus 9, and she doesn't have a name. Not a bad idea though, I may work on that.

Mine is a Shield .40 - have thought so many times about upgrading to
a 'plus' for the extra rounds, flat trigger, etc. Thought about the
.30 Super but not sure...
The new Springfield mod 3 something... Great price point! Just got
to put my hands on it...

Yeah, I'm a little leery of the .30 Super. In the Shield you get 3 additional rounds as compared to the 9mm, which is a BIG deal. But, a significantly lighter bullet (100gr vs 124gr) at only 100fps faster.
I've got to think that is less "stopping power".
Another factor in favor of the 9 is how common it is, and widely available. In a SHTF scenario, you can find/take ammo and mags much easier.
For now at least, the .30 Super doesn't do it for me.
As for the .40, I'm less of a fan than I used to be. Strong round no doubt, but a little snappy and lower magazine capacity for a given size
of pistol.
With modern ammo technology, I think the 9 is a better
choice. There's a reason the FBI and many/most police departments have switched (back) to the 9mm. One place that I'd still carry the .40
(not as a CC) would be a sidearm while out in the woods hunting with a rifle. Would rather have the extra punch if needed for a coyote or similar.

Yes, the newest member of the XD family. Always liked them (and the
XDM), and that is indeed a nice price point. Hard for me to switch
away from S&W though.

Late to the party but I currently carry a Sig P365x. It's a great gun
but will be trading it in for something with better mag capacity and closer to the size of a Glock 19. As my alterego mentioned (Jaxson)
the new Sig has caught my eye, but also curious how the Walther shoots.
I have straight knuckles and the glock grips are uncomfortable to
shoot -- and hard as hell to shoot straight without significant and ackward adjustment to the trigger finger. The sigs straight trigger is
a really nice feature. My only complaint with my P365x is the magazine release is in the worst possible location and often comes loose.
What type of holster do each of you prefer? Lately I've been using a sticky that has been great for summer and shorts. Now switching back
to a handmade leather a buddy of mine made at a local farmers market.
