Belts have been mentioned a few times. The last one I bought was from BullhideBelts on one of their weekly specials. 1 1/2” X 1/4” with double stitched edges. It’s the bee’s knees. Took a half pound off the carry weight. My old wide one had lost some shape and stretched enough that it didn’t do near as much as when new about 30 years ago. A heavy belt is probably more important than a holster when it comes to carry comfort. This is the belt I got. Going to have to order another if i lose much more weight. It's got a steel core. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

Glock 43X with a flush 15 round magazine, spare 10 round, carry appendix. Every once in a while I will carry a 19X with a Streamlight light, appendix, with 19 round mag in the gun plus a spare 19 round. Lot of weight.

The grip zone is rather cheesy!

...then we rode down the mountain in total darkness, which was actually more fun than I'd have ever imagined. #foreshadowing I love it.

Me? I carry my Rock Island Armory 1911 .45 ACP in a lefthanded shoulder holster by Uncle Mike's. I don't like belt holsters with the heavy 1911, as it always tries to pull my pants down! It sucks being a "southpaw" because so many holsters are not available in lefthanded format.

Was gifted a Hellcat, carries very easily in a Blackhawk CQC. My full size XD 45 with 13 felt like an anchor on my hip and could not draw it as well as the Hellcat.

In the time it would take to get a winter parka unzipped and sweater lifted up to get to a belt holster I'd be dead. So a 642 in the handwarmer pocket with a couple speed strips in the opposite pocket is my cold weather choice. Actually for someone who tries his best to avoid gun fights the 642 is a pretty good choice year round. Plus one big time! I have my 638 in the front right pocket of my work coat.

Springfield TRP or Glock 41, both have red dots on them. I used a Kramer horsehide belt for years but my fat azz out grew it. I got a replacement from the Beltman, steel liner double layer bull hide. Very satisfied with its quality. Holsters are Kramer IWB#2’s.

I always carry a Kershaw Blur, no matter what! Second is a Ruger LCP, or a Smith and Wesson Shield 9mm or 45. Anything after that, just depends on where I'm at or the mood I'm in.
A 380 in my pocket is better than a 45 in my truck!

Glock17, same as the rest of the year. Shoots where I look after a lot of rounds over the years. Been packing it nearly 30 years now, nothing beats long familiarity and lots of correct practice.
