What do you carry?

[Arik]

Makes sense......years ago* I thought about carrying 2 guns if the "S-ever -HTF"..... my conclusion was a 4" model 19 strong side in a thumb break holster and a Browning HP crossdraw.

Today I'd be torn between my 3" 66 and a 4" 686 strong side with a 915 (17+1) crossdraw


*Pre 3rd Gen Smith autos.

That's a lot of metal (weight)!

I CCW several different handguns depending on the area I am going in, mode of dress, and "Just Because".

My CCW weapons are older (like me)

Yep...... but I was young and it was only if the SHTF...... my version of the NY reload.....if I was going to have/need a 2nd gun I wanted a hi-cap auto......and there were not a lot of options in the late 70s.

Besides Serpico..... was still fresh in my mind

Back in the day I felt a 1911 and snub as backup was enough to carry the day.

Now since, AISWB, the revolver has become primary for fast access and conceal ability and back-up has become a semi-auto for capacity, either a 3814 w/ 8+1 or the 915 w/17+1 for those days when more is deemed needed.

And these days with gang violence even more prevalent going "heavy" is an appealing option if in Injun territory (places I try to avoid).

Living in the 'Burg Bam Bam you know there are neighborhoods that could be dangerous.

I had cancer surgery up at UPMC a few years ago, and made lots of trips there. I was amazed at how you could go from million dollar homes to a "dangerous area" in just a few blocks. But I've always liked Pittsburgh, and it's only a ninety mile drive on I79 for me. But I always have a little friend along.

Best Regards, Les

Winter:
Charter Bulldog 44


Summer:
Smith 442

I mix a G26 and P3AT in there when I am in the mood for a bottom feeder

G26 is my city carry with a 22 round backup mag
P3AT is my deep deep carry or dress clothes pocket carry

 

[Lostaro]

Usually carry the largest revolver I can conceal...
442
36
3" GP100
4" 686
......sometimes a combination of two of the above

And every now and then a Ruger LCP, cause it's very easy!

S&W Bodyguard .380 in a pocket with trigger guard, or Beretta PICO .380 in a wallet holster, or Beretta Tomcat .32 pocket carry, or NAA Guardian w/ laser pocket carry in holster. Taurus Millenium P111 9m cross draw IWB on long drives because it can be accessed quicker and carries more rounds. Polycase ammo in all for additional effectiveness. Concealability with effectiveness is my priority. I don't open carry or carry without trigger protection. I like the initial trigger pull to be double action for additional safety. I carry with the thumb safety on if the firearm has one.

I have already posted pics of my 640 and how I carry it... this is my primary carry set up and has been for about the last 10years...

 

[gunner629]

Shield 9mm IWB and/or LCP II in the pocket, tried carrying my glock 26 and my 9c but always end up going back to the shield due to familiarity with the gun and comfort. The extra thickness makes a big difference on me.
