Duty size/open carry gun or concealed/EDC piece?
For a duty size bottom feeder, a 5" 1911 in .45ACP. I also like the CZ97B, based on shooting a friend's. For a wheelgun, give me a 6" full lug GP-100 or S&W 686. A 6.5" .357 Blackhawk is an acceptable alternative, especially for field use. FWIW, I once owned both a Wilson CQB Compact & a Dan Wesson CBOB at the same time. The bobbed tail of the CBOB printed less than the OACP length Wilson frame. After shooting them side by side, I sold the Wilson. The Dan Wessons are that good. I eventually sold the CBOB, but will be buried with my Pointman-7.
For a EDC piece, I'm sold on Austrian tupperware. G26 to be specific. I liked a friend's G23 & want to pick up a G19 & see how it carries.
