Seecamp .32. A smaller calibre, but I carry two.
I carry iwb Glock 23. I love the thing. I really do. But, there is no way around it, It is a service weapon. And there are times when you need a different carry. Does anyone have thoughts FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE about pocket carry. what's your rig?
My EDC is a Springfield XD carried IWB (Crossbreed)
For pocket carry it depends on the pants I am wearing,
I used to pocket the Ruger LC9, now I will pocket the Sig P938.
I have thought about the XDS but have not been able to put my mitts on one yet,
and if the utmost discretion is needed bust out the NAA.
S&W model 360 air weight.
Ruger LCP.
These are the two that I use. This is in Houston weather where in very hot temps I wear as little and light as possible.
Obviously there is a huge difference in 357 and 380 auto. The 356 model 360 tends to go in cargo pockets. The Ruger LCP goes anywhere I want it to go.
I haven't been around here in a while, but I carry a Les Bear TRS in a variety of holsters. On rare occasions I carry a Colt Officer's ACP IWB in a Garrett Industries holster.

I used to carry Ruger SR9c, but it was heavy with all the ammo, and extra mags. Finally got a Springfield XDS .45 and love it. Have been carrying it for a few months, and when I feel lazy I got OWB otherwise it is usually IWB. I make my own ammo, and carry JHP never had a problem with jams like I have seen people complain about.

I have a S&W bodygaurd but dont like it much. It is good for about 5 feet. lol. It is a double action and the trigger pull is about 10lbs.
I CCW a Seecamp .32 in a Meco pocket holster. Saving for a Sig .380 which will be carried IWB.
I rotate between my 44 Magnum revolver 6 inch barrel Stainless Steel and my 357 Magnum Ruger revolver 6 inch barrel Stainless Steel. Both I carry with shoulder holsters.
used to carry a snubnose 38special around the ankle, but does not like it.
Well, concerning IWB holsters, I purchased a holster from Ailen Gear Holsters for my XD40 subcompact (I'm not affiliated with them in any way). For those of you who haven't heard of them, think crossbreed with thicker leather and kydex and the "combat cut" as standard. You can adjust depth and cant, plus you can swap the kydex for free (as of this writing, anyway) if you decide to carry a different gun. They also have a lifetime warranty as well. All for about $35-$45 shipped and a shorter lead time than crossbreed.
I ordered mine on 10/28, so it should be shipping out in the next couple of days. I'll keep you guys posted if anyone is interested.
One thing to note... If you go for the black leather instead of brown, there is an extra charge (hence the price range listed above). You can buy through their website or through their ebay store, but if you go the ebay route, they only show the black leather. The price, however, is the same as the brown leather. I don't know if it's cheaper to go through ebay, but I went through the website to make sure I got the black leather instead of the brown.
I picked up a combat cut IWB off the bay from a vendor copying Crossbreed for my G26 & don't care for it as the grip rubs me raw if i am in a seat like an automobile for a while. You can always trim a regular cut down, but not add the leather. Just a thought.
True, shooter, true... that is something to keep in mind. Me personally, though, I don't mind it/am already used to it because I'm carrying in a Tagua holster, which had the same cut. The main reasons I got the new one are for the kydex, the ability to adjust the cant and depth and for better weight distribution.
Though I can certainly see the combat cut being a negative for lots of folks.... Good food for thought, sir! :)
Depending on the occasion, I carry a Kimber eclipse II or Springfield Armory XD in .45 acp and for "dressier" events a SW airweight .38 special in a pocket holster.
I carry a Glock 19 9mm 98% of the time. I also have carried my Gemini Customs springfield 1911, Les Baer Premier II, and M&P 9. I always carry IWB holsters in Milt Sparks, Comp-tac Infidel Ultra, and Alessi PCH. Actually I'm still awaiting my Daltech Force gun belt, which I just received an e-mail informing me that it has shipped today. I started a thread in the conversation forum about it, I will give you guys a review when it arrives. My Dillon Leather gun belt by Mitch Rossen has been lost during our recent move.
Where's the pics guys?
;) LOL here is one.....

Any of you guys have a weapon that is "too nice" to carry? I have acquired 3 1911's over the years. I bought them when I was shooting local uspsa matches. One of the is a Springfield, decked out by Gemini Customs, a Les Baer Premier II, and an STI Edge. As much as I love 1911's and these are what I reload for mostly, I stick to my cheaper polymer framed guns for edc. I've been told by several shooters that if you ever use one for defense, law enforcement will confiscate it, and you may or may not ever see it again!
Glock 23 or Beretta nano!
An old saying goes
A 1911 is what I show my friends.
A Glock is what I show my enemies.
That made me think of this. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/reposit...e/battle-6.gif

Nice!!! I like it!
I carry a G26 sometimes, but it's mostly 1911's IWB. We do have open carry here in Oklahoma, but I'm not a cowboy. It is nice though, so if you were to reach up and your shirt rises enough to show your piece you aren't breaking the law. I pray that I never have to use my weapon, but if I do loosing the weapon would be the least of my worries. Key thing guys is to have it with you guys, be prepared & well practiced. I miss IDPA, met a lot of good guys out there. I wish we had some 3-gun stuff around here.
My daily CCW is a Sig P229 chambered for .40 S&W, and housed IWB in a Milt Sparks VersaMax. And I'm never without my Gerber Applegate/Fairbairn folder.

I carry every day, Smith & Wesson M&P40 full size in a SHTF Gear Leather/Kydex IWB ( Inside the waistband ) holster.
I live in Massachusetts so I have my unrestricted class A LTC and can carry concealed only, no open carry unless you want the Liberal moonbats to call the cops on you! Such a freaking joke!
With a permit you can open carry here.
For me it depends, around the house I OC a lot and if I have to run an errand to the corner store or Wal-Mart I don't change rigs.
I have had a conversation with a local LEO as he was not aware of the Attorney Generals ruling. A good number of people in this area carry.
Many of the Old Timers without a permit (class B misdemeanor). Sometimes it is nice to be in an area that is still semi rural and has that mentality for the most part.

Nice handguns, I would still carry one of the 1911's...most likely the stainless Springfield as it would hold up to the wear and tear carry does to one.
very nice guns. Agree with shooter as to carrying one of the 1911s, but I am partial. I also have a 586 with 6" barrel, shoots great just not easy to carry.
pfries, I agree that is why I normally use the TRS for IDPA.

The springfield was my first custom build. It was built on the Springfield loaded model:mmc combat adj. rear sight/dawson .100 fiber optic front/schumann barrel/briley spherical bushing/25 lpi checkering/svi internal components/ and finished off with metaloy hard chrome over stainless. It's actually my favorite gun shooter74743, thanks for liking it.
Ccw STI ranger II chambered in 9x23. 2 spare mags 10 rd each of win 125g silvertips, 31 rds total. Spiderco military or microtec Lightfoot. Sunwayman vr10 ti. everyday all day. No excuses.
Rolling out with my Kel Tec P3AT for steak dinner with the wife and kids. Got a full spare mag in weak side pocket for "extras" and Spyderco Endura 50/50 in my front pocket. All ammo is FMJ ball.
Well I am not rolling out at the moment, but always at my side.
p.s. It is out of the holster for photo op only....

.357 Sig is indeed a nice round. When I was shopping for my Sig, I decided on the .40 S&W in part because of its versatility...you can swap out the barrel for both the 9mm and .357 Sig chamberings. I have a match grade 9mm barrel that is incredible to shoot (it's incredibly accurate, and the round is such a pussycat), and will get a .357 Sig barrel one of these days...when I can afford ammo!
