What is your EDC?

I don't firmly commit to a single handgun for EDC. It's generally one of these three, mostly the Smith & Wesson Model 10.
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Heavy Barrel .38 Special
Colt Detective Special .38 Special
Colt Government Model .45
Smith & Wesson Model 10 Heavy Barrel .38 Special
Colt Detective Special .38 Special
Colt Government Model .45
On duty: Gen 4 Glock 17 and a MP5 on the passenger seat
Any other time : Gen 4 Glock 26
Any other time : Gen 4 Glock 26
Actually a shoulder rig works pretty well for that one.
Then again...I know the guy who will, in reality, stitch you up one of these. Yikes!!!
I cannot carry everyday, as I work on a Govt facility, but when I do carry:
Gen 3 Glock 27
NY Green Trigger Return Spring and "-" Connector
165g Winchester Ranger T
I use either a Belly Band, a SmartCarry, or a Galco pocket holster, depending on my choice of pants.

642 38+p in pocket holster or CW9 in holster sometimes. SR9 in woods at camp.
Nice EMP. I'd love to eventually pick up an EMP, in fact, I've had my eye on them since SA first released them. If/when I do get one, it will probably be in .40S&W, and I'm debating between the standard EMP and the 4".
Just priced the standard and 4" EMP today at Cabela's. Both were priced at $1100.
Right now, my most expensive CCW cost me between $700-800 (my 1st gen S&W 1911SC), and most are in the $500 range. Depending upon where I get a job next year (I'm hoping to get a new job for next school year, though several nearby districts aren't going to be hiring many teachers so it will be a tight market) I hope to move to either York PA or Northern VA either next year or the year after. If/when I'm finally in a shall-issue state and carry less part-time (I'm a teacher so I'll still not be able to carry to/from work) I may reward myself with a higher end carry gun (like the EMP).
Edit:
Actually, I guess I do have some expensive carry guns, but they don't get carried much. The 625MG was probably around $800 or so when I bought it, and would go around $1K now to sell or replace it. My S&W 65LS (rarely carried, it was my 1st .357mag and one of my 1st guns so I don't want the holster wear) would probably cost $1K or more to replace. So, most of my carry guns are in the $400-500 range, but some very rarely carried guns do go for more. Still, the point remains that a gun designed for carry in the $1K+ range isn't really suited to me while I only carry occasionally when in a state where I can carry (a few times a month).

P320 Compact with the voluntary upgrade installed and SIGLite night sights, a Surefire on my left side pocket for target identification, my right side has a knife that changes based on my mood (I do not consider this a weapon, only a cutting tool), and a varying multi tool where I match the size to what I’ll be doing during the day. Lazy days I just carry a Leatherman Squirt in my mini jeans pocket.
I’m considering trading into a Glock Gen 5. The first pistol I ever bought myself was a Glock and I’ve owned 6 of them at this point and don’t currently have one. Due to past experience I always feel extremely comfortable when shooting Glock pistols and hit my targets more easily than with most guns so I’m honestly not sure why I don’t own one right now.
