A gun is just like a parachute, if you ever really need one, nothing else will do.

Only 2 revolvers?

Taken out of order it's a strong list of popular choices. I would've expected at least another wheelie in the top 10.

Good choices all, but I'd suggest a different list, which would include more revolvers.  Wheel guns ain't dead yet, and can serve us well in defensive scenarios.  Cops and soldiers need offensive weapons.  They have to go into situations civilians can avoid.  They need fire power and lots of it.  Civilians need fire power, but not so much, at least not on a sustained basis.  At the very top of my list would be a .44 Special revolver.

Not saying it's true but I've read articles saying that the Kel Tec PF-9 is currently the most popular conceal carry handgun on the market.

Interesting....but just his opinion.....here's mine for what it's worth and in no particular order.  My top 10 list of most carried guns for personal protection from what I've observed:

1. SW M60 (either caliber)
2. Walther PPK
3. Glock (no particular model)
4. Commander sized 1911
5. Ruger SP101
6. Sig P226
7. Kal-Tec 380
8. One of the new SW or Ruger plastic revolvers or autos
9. ?
10. ?

Also...I'm sorry to say that my list is limited because in MA many of the cool guns are illegal.

Wow, they named the NAA mini the #1 carry gun.  Well, I've carried my Black Widow (.22LR) for many years.  I also like the look of the Pug with the 1" barrel.  Might have to get one of those in .22 Mag and retire the Black Widow.

Small or Pocket type autos are no doubt carried by most,
but I am not sure what this person is trying to get at.
These may be the 10 that folks carry the most but I certainly
do not think it is the 10 Best choices.

My personal choices because of flatness and ease of carry without using a scabbard are:
Any sized 1911 format weapon---C&L.
Sigs

An added roller in the N framed S&W model 28 .357----this one does require, as do all rollers, a good sturdy scabbard and belt.

Glocks are bulky and tend to roll, as does a revolver, unless you have a scabbard.

My most carried, understand that I live in a very rural area.  My needs vary a great deal from the average person.  I carry concealed more to protect the weapon than hide it from prying eyes.

1) Ruger Bisley .44 Special Flat Top 4 5/8" in 7x Leather chest holster
2) S&W 629 4"  in 7x Leather chest holster
3) S&W 15 4" in 7x pancake or a Patton #5 knock off I made
4) SA 1911 government in a summer special II
