I got this idea from another forum I frequent. The thread seemed kinda pointless at first until it got going and then it became interesting for me to observe what others carried in winter vs summer as their most frequent (go to) carry pistols of choice.
I'll start with mine here:
Glock 26 9mm & Ruger LCR 38 sp +P
Cooler months- G26 because, it just shoots the best for me out of all the sub compacts, it is comfortable enough carried IWB to wear all day on a regular basis in a hybrid style holster, 9mm is almost affordable enough to shoot often enough to become proficient with and it is as reliable as Glocks are!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warmer months- I chose the Ruger LCR for warmer months because it is almost forgettable carried in a good pocket holster with its light weight and it has an almost S&W like smoothness to its DAO trigger pull and still handles the hot +P ammo from Double Tap & Buff Bore quite amazingly with the Hogue grips. Shorts and a T-shirt are not a problem. It keeps me from settling for one of the mouse gun cartridges & has the reliability inherent of a good revolver.
Complements:
I'd say they complement each other in size, power and the tupperware factor
but certainly altogether totally different animals with their own unique characteristics, strengths & weaknesses.
These 2 pistols are my most frequently carried CCW's
