Hard choice between my 1989 G17 and my 1986 Springfield Armory M1911A1 .45 ACP pin gun (comped barrel). As for time on duty, it is my G17 for sure. CCW since 1989.
Anyone who is allowed to own handguns can carry concealed without any license, resident or non-resident. I carry my G17 24/7/365. WW 115gr JHP +p+ loads. Hartford, VT. 17 in gun, 16 in spare mag.
