Hand cannon or snubbie? Does anyone here conceal a revolver?
I actually just sold my SW642, but it was awesome for front pocket carry. I replaced it with a Government 1911 and a .45 XDs.
I actually went the other way. I carried a full size 1911 for a time, went to a lightweight Commander size 1911, went from there to the XDs 45 and now to the 642.
Size and weight were a factor with the 1911's and the XDs was a perfect semi with a punch. All were excellent pistols. The only drawback with the Xds or the 642 is lack of capacity.
I carried IWB and that's what was uncomfortable. I carried the XDs OWB and besides weight and size, carrying OWB opened up a whole new world for me. I always wear a cover garment, even in Summer so I decided to carry OWB full time.
Being a dinosaur and a 1911 guy, I may have to go back to a lightweight commander, carried OWB some time in the future.
Kinda' makes all that wheeling and dealing pointless.
Blitz, I'm 5'6" and go 150. A government size 1911 is a chunk of steel on my hip.
