I too have been spoiled by the j-frames . . . and now my "always" pocket gun is a 1971 Model 37 Airweight.

HOWEVER . . . unloaded my Model 36 steel frame J-frame weights the same as my Kimber Ultra CDP (first generation) aluminum framed 3" 1911-type. They are about the same size too . . . though the J-frames are best for pocket carry.



When I carry a .45 auto, it is in a belt slide holster . . . and I see no more trouble carrying a full-size .45 auto than the little 3" Kimber. Heck, sometimes I even slide THIS THING in the belt slide holster . . .



IN THE WINTER, and under concealing clothes, I carry my FAVORITE .45ACP handgun . . . my chopped barrel Model 25-2 moon-clipped .45ACP revolver (either in a belt holster or in a shoulder rig.



I LOVE .45 ACP handguns . . . but it is hard to beat a j-frame for "always" type concealed carry options!!!

I was out and about with my de-railed 4553 TSW today in an inexpensive, but not cheap, Don Hume H715. I really wish there had been a short trigger DAO pre-TSW 4553 that used the standard 7-round magazine (as opposed to the shorter 6-round early TSW version), but the closest seems to be the elusive 4556 (not that the early 4553 TSW is much easier to find).

I am fortunate enough to own most of the .45 acp pistols that S&W makes or has made. My choice of carry is the 457. I wanted a small blued liteweight cc pistol. The only modifaction is S&W installed a slide mounted decocker only safety. Also I wanted a firearm that I was not worried about holster wear and all the other evils that happen to a ccw. For years I carried a FBI 1076, with the value continuing to climb I decided to retire it to the safe.

Two 03 MOS's huh .... Have to agree with your assessment of the CS45. I just got mine recently. Prior to this I've carried a M28 with a 3" bbl, a 66 2 1/2", and my 36 snub.
Obviously, the J frame is the easiest to conceal but haven't had a real problem with the K frame or even the N frame 28. It really depends more on where I'm going and what the weather is.
Oh .. 0331 & 9940 for me. Semper Fi.

I've carried a Combat Commander, but usually carry a 9mm Makarov. Maybe I'd leave that home if I had a 12-4 2 inch.

Normally carry a G30sf, swore I'd never own one, then made the mistake of shooting it, one of the most accurate short pistols I've ever fired. Picked up a G21sf, found in most cases I can conceal it just as well. Carried a Kimber ultra carry ccp, found I hated the ambi, safety, always getting knocked off safe.

When it comes to concealed carry I find the most important dimension is thickness, particularly in the grip. Weight is more of a comfort issue. The 1911 platform (all sizes) can conceal surprising well in a good IWB holster.

I carry a Dan Wesson 4.25" in a IWB Holster and have had no problems at all keeping it under cover all day. As for the Charter Arms I carried a Bulldog .44 for years as pocket carry and not bad at all

I have carried a Kimber Target .45 ACP, but not all that often. Also I can put in a good word for the G30 (although I prefer the G29), I was surprised by the accuracy, and I'm a Glock guy.

Just picked up a SIG 220 and ordered a Don Hume 710 slide for it (my favorite holster) and I'll be carrying the SIG when I have received it.

I'm having a hard time finding a CS45. So, I came across this 45. If I can find a good quality holster, it will probably be my winter carry.

.45 ACP is what I carry about 85-90% of the time. When I just can't do so, then it is .380.

The Glock 36 is a fantastic carry gun. It's ugly, but it works and I have complete faith that it will go "bang" every single time.

When I'm feeling fancy, I carry a Sig 1911 Revolution C3 model (CCO).

I just today rotated to my "Cool" weather guns and started with my Colt New Agent .45acp in a Don Hume IWB holster most of the time. I also use the DeSantis paddle holster with a jacket.

I like the double/single action of this Ruger, much safer in my opinion than a striker fired. I don't carry it often, but is available when I think I need more lead.

My main issue is I'm spoiled, weight-wise, from carrying a J-frame Airweight. Please forgive me, but I'm leaning towards a G30SF or the lighter G36.

I'm drawn to the "bigger bullet" issue. Back in the day, I carried a G30 and qualified with it on an AZPOST course. I really liked it but it was a bit thick for me, hense, the G36 thought.

I carry this one every day, all day, in a Bagmaster IWB holster that also holds a spare mag:



This is nice to, sometimes in a pocket:



Engine 18,

That Kahr, loaded, weighs a pound and a half with seven rounds of 230 fightin' ammo. (That's not a factory mag, it's a Springfield 1911 mag that I shortened. Works great.)

For a number of years I carried a Glock 36 but havn't done so for a few months having made the switch over to a Glock 32 (.357 SIG). Most of the mags on my G36 have the pinky finger extensions, which gives the two guns (36 & 32) almost the same dimensions. The G36 is actually slightly slimmer and does feel a little bit better in my hand.

By switching over to the G32 I was able to double my round count.

If, I should say when, I do decide to carry a .45 acp again I wouldn't hesitate to go back to the G36.........

HK45 Compact, or the USP Compact .45. Only slightly larger than a G36, with a few more BBs.

Yeah, they are quite a bit more expensive than the usual suspects (except Kahr). And since the Germans have stopped producing the HK45/HK45C in Germany (most of the parts are still made there, but are shipped to Wilcox in New Hampshire for assembly/packaging), they are not easy to find; especially now that the military is buying them for the spec ops types. USPc .45s are plentiful, though, and for less money.

The quality is un-matched, and the LEM (law enforcement modification) trigger option is THE way to go for a carry piece, as far as I'm concerned. That opinion is not universally shared, and in fact there is more confusion and downright mis-understanding about the LEM trigger than anything else out there. However, most of the nay-sayers have never even tried one, simply parroting what they read from other i-experts.

But almost 30 years of carrying professionally has convinced me that a point'n'pull trigger is the smart move for a defensive piece. And IMO, the LEM is the best of that breed. The superlative HK quality is just a bonus.

The Kahr P45 and PM45 interested me for a while. A pal has one of each, and I shot both quite a bit. Two things kept me from buying one: I just think that you're losing too much velocity on an already slow bullet when you drop to only three inches of barrel... and all the complaints of spotty QC on these pistols, along with the widely varying tales of the level of customer service/support.

Plus, with proper carry ammunition that PM45 is a bear to hang onto to. It sure carries well, though.

LSP,

Can't argure with H&K being quality.

The Kahrs can have quality issues; mine did. Returned to the mothership just one time, but needed about 300 rounds to finally start working well. It would stuff the last fired case back into the magazine! That was a fun jam to clear, let me tell you.

For me though, it was worth the effort. What a tiny .45! The one in the pic above with the Springfield mag has seven rounds in it and will (just) fit into my front pocket.

I agree with you in the point and pull idea. I started carrying about 45 years ago and fumbling the safety can't be on the program, it just can't. People say to train around it, ya, sure. Maybe I'm just a klutz but if so, I'm not the only one.

Default Glock 36

Engine 18

Go to some gun shops and play with both a G30 and a G36... and I bet you arrive at the same conclusion I did. The G36 is a lot thinner! Don't listen to what people say about the 36 being unreliable, the older ones can be but any made in the last couple years will give you no trouble. Mine is in the KZGXXX serial range and have had ZERO problems with it.



Some eye candy for you!

I have taken to carrying my 4516 now that I have a good IWB holster for it. I can wear it with a loose, dark colored tee shirt. A 457 would be really nice though.

I will carry a 645 in a Bianchi #3S, ISW, originally made for the Beretta 92. Awesome holster that also fits a number of other Smith autoloaders. I will also carry a Colt 1991A1 in a Don Hume H721, belt slide and an SW99 in a Galco CM292, belt slide. That Galco also fits other full size Smith autoloaders.

My CC of over 30 years has been a Colt Commander. It now has Novak sights and new grips, but, other than that it has served me well and has never failed. I've just replaced it with an Ed Brown Executive Carry and am simply amazed by that piece. Novak style sights with Trijicon inserts are the best! I am ordering a Kobra model and cannot wait. The Executive is the only 1911 I've owned which is silent when shaken. Comparisons to my Springfield and Colt pistols make me feel like they are unworthy, even though I've used them all for years. I'm very pleased. Expensive? Yes, but just how much is the life of a loved one worth... or even your own life?

When I can minimize the outline wearing a coat, jacket, or vest I carry a Colt Gov't 1911 in a Desantis Thumb break scabbard. It rides high and the three slot model allows for proper cross-draw cant if that's your preference. I got mine for $60 (suede lined) new on ebay.

I have just retired my Kimber ultra cdp2.

Twice I found the safety had unintentionally switched to off while in a fanny pack- this was in condition 2 ! Almost gave me heart failure!!!

I modified the fanny pack and it never happened again, but twice warned = twice shy- so good by Kimber hello 629-2e 3 inch ,round butt.
