Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns What Handgun are You Carrying Now That Summer is Here ?

What handgun are you carrying now that the Winter Cloths and Coats are packed away and now it is shorts and Tee's , ?
I'm carrying my M&P Shield 40 in the Croosbreed Super Tuck with Winchester 165 gr LE Ranger Talon's . Just to hard to conceal my bigger Glocks and 1911's pistols .

XDS.45

I went on a fairly long, 50 minute, walk yesterday evening with my wife and our 2 1/2 dogs. Wore a muscle T tucked in then a sleeveless light cotton western shirt open in the front and untucked to cover the pistol. This is my normal day to day Summer attire and allows me to keep packing my 1911 in 10mm.

I do have a P3AT 380 for days like the wedding I am going to on Saturday where an overshirt is just going to be uncouth but I try to have the gun that I shoot well on hand as much as I can.

Load is my handloads conssting of 180gr Gold Dots at 1375fps.

It nearly broke 100* here yesterday, we've had summer for a while. I'm still carrying a Glock 22. I never worry about a LITTLE printing, but it's definitely harder in the summer.

I tried to like my 642, but just sent it down the road last week. It wasn't slimmer than an auto and I couldn't get used to pocket carry.

I'm picking up my Shield on Thursday and that'll likely be what I carry for the rest of forever.

I'm carrying the same SIG 220 that I've carried all year. Loose fitting shirt worn out, and no base layer or undershirt. A little sweat never hurts much. But if you really need a gun, toy guns fall far short. E

M&P .40c in a Falco leather IWB or my Kahr CW9 in its Comp Tac IWB or desantis pocket holster depending on what shirt I'm wearing.

Went hiking Saturday and wore my S&W 386PD in a OWB with a tshirt over it. Yeah it's a bit big but you never feel the weight.

you have a point, but the M&P Shield is small pistol that thinks it is a full size pistol

Still MY Glock 23 In The Bianchi 100,155 Winchester Ranger x13

I hear ya on that one. We cannot pick the scenario where a firearm is really going to be NEEDED. My full size all stell 1911 is a tad bit cumbersome but I have commited to myself that I am going to just pack it and deal with the weight. Part of the thinking is that having only one handgun for everything I am more likely to become highly proficient with it and having it become an extension of my arm and hand. Since my last two carry pieces were 1911's and the one immediately preceeding this RIA 10 was a spittin image Delta Elite I hope I am getting close to that goal.

RE no undershirt or base layer.... Personally I cannot tolerate the feeling of a steel handgun right against my skin so will wear an 'A' shirt or other t shirt base layer even in 100 degree heat. Might be OK if I were to send off my pistol for a 'melting' treatment i.e. rounding off of the edges and corners etc. Been collecting a good pile of sleeveless lightweight breathable shirts to wear over a colored base shirt as well as some lightweight vests that do not look out of place so as to be able to keep the real gun on my person as much as possible. Even at church, with the Pastors full knowledge and blessing

Beretta Tomcat 32ACP loaded with Winchester Silvertips in a Don Hume pocket holster. It rides in my right rear pocket. Comfortable, concealable and accessible.

Lately I've been carrying my LCP with CT laser and 1 spare mag, because I have to wear my shirt tucked in for my job. It just disappears in a pair of shorts. If out and about with my shirt untucked, it's a XD 45 Compact in a Crossbreed Supertuck, or 1911 in a Supertuck.

Either P238 in generic pocket holster or CCO 45 in sparks summer special, depending on belt worn.
