As seen above, Keltec P-32 in .32 ACP and a CZ-40P in .40 S&W. I plan to pick up a Benchmade when funds settle down after Christmas. 
What do other PCP holders here use for daily carry weapons?
Since this is my 1st post here I'd share a little about me as well.
I live in Mankato and I'm a member of the WI ANG. I've deployed a few times, all voluntary. I graduated from MSU Mankato with a degree in Professional Flight. I should be a pilot but chose to have a family instead. While I miss busting cloud decks I love my family more. My wife is uncomfortable with our hobby but some how puts up with me.
I'm looking forward to learning from the pro's and posting from my knowledge back whenever I can.
Merry Christmas!

Welcome, welcome. Good choices.

Don't feel too bad, I took a lot of flack on another forum for this and then for asking why the word concealed bothers people.
I guess I just call it a permit to carry now, but it doesn't get my undies in a bundle when I hear someone else use the word concealed.
By the way, have you ever seen anyone open carry?
Me neither.
Also, to answer your question, I carry a Sig 229 .40. I used to carry a S&W 5906 (slimmer, easier to carry), but after a few failures to eject - and no I wasn't limp-wristing it - I don't feel comfortable carrying it.
And since you mentioned the Benchmade, I have a Kershaw Boa on me at all times; not necessarily as a weapon, I just love the knife. I would very much like to get a Benchmade though. I've heard they're very well made.
Careful with that Kel-Tec on the belt clip. Don't want to end up like Plaxico.

At this point I plan to remove the clip and aquire a wallet holster to cover the trigger.

Me neither. Well, last I checked, I'm still visible, even in a mirror. 
There are those of us who take advantage of the fact that it isn't a concealed permit.
Odds are you're more likely to see us sooner or later than you are to see a unicorn, or, say, Norm Coleman voting the way his constituents tell him to.

Me neither. Yep. Not for me on a regular basis but I see it occasionally.

i own a kel-tek RA-9 (9MM) honestly i think it was built in someone's basement. I cannot find a good IWB holster that fits comfortably and covers the trigger properly. Yet it is a nice concealable pistol. I also open carry my kel-tek or my XD9 and have no problems open carrying. Honestly not many people even see it or care to look or understand it, or they think you are a cop.

Me neither. I open carry regularly. And soccer moms don't run screaming?  
I carried a variety of tools before the boating accident, A Glock G22, G23, KT P3AT, Ruger GP100, Taurus M85, NAA Mini, Ruger New Vaquero .45LC, I'm prpbably missing a few...

I rarely open carry, but do once in awhile. I prefer to let as few people know I am armed as possible. I have seen a few open carriers around the cities as well.

Welcome Subwofwer2,
I haven't seen anyone open carry either, or is it that I just haven't noticed. Nice choice of hardware. I like CZ myself.
I see that you're from the Mankato area. PM me sometime and we'll get together for some range time.
