S&W 432 PD (hammerless) Airweight - 32 H&R Mag.

Sometimes, Beretta Tomcat - 32 ACP.

very true

Well...tried the Colt New Agents, both 9 and .45 and was disappointed in the whole episode... guess I was expecting a 1911 and got a Glock. After my 1911-A1 I guess the rest are just Japanese imitations. Tried Glocks, 26, 19, 30, 30SF, and finally decided on inflatable boat and fishing. On a fluke, I tried a Ruger LCP..... my wife tried it and loved the little squirt... It Vanished into her CC Purse. Just never getting in love with the 9mm short, I decided on the LC9 Standard and was pleasantly surprised.. Been carrying it now for about two months. Accuracy isn't a 1911 but does a nice saucer at 25 yds so I can get along with that. Kinda forgot the loud part of a 9mm in a short barrel... But the Taurus .357 Model 605 I have put things back in perspective. Never can get used to the last two out of the cylinder when shooting 158 Gr.Mags....Ouch.
If you're hunting for a decent and light CCW, might try the LC9 or else LCP if you can live with smaller power. I do like the way it handles from draw to fire and the quickness of the action and reloading. Long trigger is only question mark...

Same thing I carried all winter, 1911 .45acp.

The same Dan Wesson PM7-10mm that I carried all winter. The only difference is I switch from a simply rugged cuda OWB in the winter to a Milt Sparks VMII IWB for the summer.

Kahr CM9 using IWB holster. Only issues I"ve had is that I need to tighten up my mid-section or buy bigger pants!

At the moment it's 47 degrees here. Guess I can carry anything I want concealed.

Springfield XDS .45acp IWB & Kahr CM9 for my BUG in my left front pocket

Still cary the G19 IWB daily, when I need to go tucked I'll
cary the XDS45.Still having a bit of trouble getting used to
the thought of only 6 rnd's.

iblong, I hear you about the 6 rounds. Or 7, or 8, even. After the Colorado theater shooting, I put up my 1911's and started carrying my Glock 23 as my primary. 14 rounds in the gun and 13 more in my back pocket. Oh, and I added a Crimson Trace laser grip to it.

I haven't changed my load-out for summer, really. Primary is still the G23 in kydex IWB holster, and BUG/always gun is a Kahr PM9 in pocket holster. However, now that I have a G19 set up exactly like my G23, I may make the switch to that... it's a tad more accurate in my hands

I don't carry a 1911 IWB in summer any more... sweat makes rust, so I spend way too much time cleaning the gun. But if I buy that bobtail S&W Scandium 1911 from the Performance Center I've been lusting after, that might could change. I do love me a good 1911 just about more than any other pistol made. Milt Sparks Summer Special IWB is my 1911 CCW holster of choice.

I'm looking hard at buying a new IWB holster for the Kahr. Either a VM-2 from Milt Sparks or a Crossbreed. Might have to buy both and pick the better one.

Only thing is that due to recent changes in circumstance I'm not spending ANY money I don't absolutely have to. It's not like I'm not GTG with what's on hand, though.

When I wear an un-tucked shirt or a light vest, I pack my Beretta 92 in a BullDog leather Summer Special IWB.
(gotta get a Bulldog leather IWB for my Kahr)

When it's really hot I'll wear a tank top and shorts and pack an LCP with a belt clip.

Just picked up a spank new Ruger LCR 357 Magnum.

My DB9 full of Hornady Critical Dutys, in a N8Tacticle custom tucked holster.
I often forget it's there.

Depends on what I am wearing. Tee shirt days a Glock 27 or a Kahr CW9. Button up shirt Glock 19.

All primary guns get a extra mag and the second gun is either a 642 or LCP.

I live in a very small town, so crime is not a big deal, but due to the interstate north of here, there is ALWAYS that chance..Mostly I carry a modell66 Smith.. Sometimes a model 60, but 95 percent of the time it is the 66..When it is fairly warm I put a vest over my T Shirt and it covers the pistol nicely..Sometimes I just slip it in the pocket of the vest, but it works best this way if I have a second gun in the left hand pocket.. When I am in the hills, which is most everyday, I have either a model 28 or model 29..But concealed carry is not a big deal there..

I have always had a 44 mag of some sort,mostly Smith 629 or Ruger
Redhawk or Super Redhawk.I had a Desert Eagle 50 AE for a while but ammo was always a pain in the butt to find.
I downsized from the super Red Hawk to a Stainless Red Hawk 44 mag
with the 4 inch barrel. A LOT! better toting gun for a old man.
The Ruger LCR 357 magnum was bought new by my son-in-law for my daughter last month.She said NO!! without even firing it.
He needed some $$$$$ to find her a Smith 642 so I paid him for the LCR. I ain`t much for snub noses or 357/38 guns I will think on it about keeping or trading it on something I like.
