Thread: How many people CCW here?

Put that vbob in your hands and you will know quickly. I have wheel guns for ccw, but for the same size I can carry more available rounds.

Quit buying Guns,I thought you were going to buy a Lathe,Make chips,not war

My 686+ holds 7 and the 327 holds 8 and they carry easier (more comfy) as well. But I do like the VBOB or even the full size 1911's for carry. My Eco is a 9mm and holds 8+1.

I have feeding issue with all my 1911's. I feed them and just keep eating & eating....
Can't seem to reload fast enough to fill them up. WTF?

An another note, what is this shirt eating you guys are referring to?

Many of us carry our weapons with a inside the waistband (IWB) holster between 4&5 oclock (for right handers) and the heal of the weapon comes in contact with chairs and other items during a daily routine and it wears holes in our shirts. I have found regular 1911's the worst and other weapons are hard on them too. Ever since I tried a the round heal of the kimber super carry pro, I've never looked back as the roundness helps to not destroy shirts so bad.

I typically carry appendix. While I haven't had the butt of the weapon wear a hole I've had several holsters snag shirts. Has anyone seen a officers frame, typically 4.8" height overall, with the bob. For smaller people, myself included, I think it'd help with carry quite a bit.

I often carry a full size 1911. A trick that I have discovered is to wear my t-shirt tails over the gun and my shirt tails over the t-shirt. Still pulls at the t-shirt but cheaper to replace than a button down shirt. Cabelas has some heavy cotton button downs that seem to last forever. I have had one shirt that has lasted easily 5-6 cold years and it does not look worn by the gun butt at all. Stay safe

I keep reading about all the different firearms people carry and that's good. I think every one should be able to defend them selves and loved ones. So I want to say this let's be lawful careful and trained. and remember the best firearm is the one you have with you if and when you might need it. some time the large 45 on the hip gives way to the 38 airweight in the pocket. I have 2 auto 9mm pistols and a smith airweight and some time my little 25 auto. depends on how I'm dressed.

I found a guy in Texas who can round the butt of the ultra sized (I now call them shirt eaters) kimbers to a round butt for about $200, pm me if interested. Makes it less profile and of course easier on the clothes. I just traded off my ultra the other day, but my carry 1911 has a smooth behind...Super Carry Pro

Thanks for the offer!I normaly carry in a shoulder rig or a belt holster so shirt damage has not been a problem for me.
