Ever carry full size S-W?

[3rd Gen Neal]

Sometimes just for a change I like to carry my 4506 or 645 in a Desantis Invisible Agent IWB rig, just because. Do you guys ever carry a big S-W semi auto or revolver? Just curious.

A couple of guys regularly carry N frames. I used to carry a Model 58 IWB myself. Page down a bit and you should find Wyatt's thread on N frame carry w/ pictures.

During cold weather I sometimes carry either a Model 610-2 or a Model 25-14, both 3" and both are easy to hide in an OWB pancake holster when wearing a coat/jacket.

 

[Wyatt Earp]

Regularly carry N frames even in mid summer. No probelms concealing them and no problems staying cool.

As is often the case, I agree with Wyatt. I carry a 5" full underlug 629 year round IWB.

Sometimes I carry a Glock 20. I often carry a 3" 629 0r a 3 1/2" 27

4" Mountian Gun in a Mernickle Performance Series holster. Sometimes my TR 22 feels neglected and it rides in the same holster.

You can wear this straight or crossdraw.

8 3/8" 29 in a smart carry....no problem.

Sip, I used to carry the same in IWB apendix carry. Always had to sit with my feet up on the desk.

Eh, even an 8 3/8" N frame can be carried. There were more people than you'd think who used to carry such in Michigan during the winter. I had a simple shoulder rig that I got from somewhere (it was a dead ringer for DeNiro's in Taxi Driver) for my 8 3/8" 29-5 when I had it. Under a relatively bulky M65 field coat, it wasn't difficult to carry at all.

For that matter if I wore my dead old man's coat (it smelled like pipe tobacco and mentholated liniment when I found it) I could stash a folding stock AK under it.

I fixed it.

I often carry a full size S&W 5943 Mexican style. And contrary to what some folks think, Mexican style can be done in a safe and comfortable manner.

Heck yeah, especially with the Desantis product I mentioned above. It is very minimal, basicly a sweat guard w-a belt clip.

I dust off and carry my former uniform duty pistol, 4006 (no dash) from time-to-time. My regular carry pistol is a 457 and I've gotten used to the lighter weight and smaller size.

A 1911 in a Milt Sparks IWB is a comfortable load. One of my 4 or 6" N frames takes a bit more doing but are quite doable and quick but with any gun there is always another in the pocket. It is amazing how fast something in your hand can come into play.

I have carried K frame four inch models, such as 10, 64, and 66. Either in an original Roy's pancake or a shoulder holster. Usually carry them in jacket weather. Summer is pocket time for me usually.

 

[Big Foot]

Let's see, I can take some pics w/my 1917 N-Frame and look pretty good, but...to be honest; no way... A K-frame is about the largest I'll carry and yes comfort is a concern.
Sure, with my trench coat I can conceal my carbine, so concealing a large weapons isn't a problem; it's practicality with too many alternatives...
