Favorite concealed carry weapon?

[PaulB47]

Ruger LC9S. Not a pretty gun, but it hits the sweet spot of being small enough to conceal easily (but not too small to hang onto when shooting), having a good enough caliber, being light enough not to drag your pants down, and having enough rounds on board. Most important, it's got an excellent trigger which makes it easy to get your rounds on target.

I used to carry a CZ-75 and a 1911, but as I get older I just can't deal with that weight any more.

"I used to worry about printing, then I asked myself why."

Me too. I worried because various gun writers went on and on about it, making me think it was important. But now, especially since I'm old, I've become invisible. Nobody looks at old (white) farts. So I just don't care any more. But I still am using a smallish gun for other reasons. I suppose if I were young and black, I'd still care about printing, though.

Old thread started in 2017. Who is carrying a gun with more boolits now? I am. My primary EDC was a Shield 9 mm
or a 340 PD in 357. Now I carry a mid size M&P 9C 2.0. I prefer the manual safety 15 round flush fit mag. I shoot it real well.
Full size wheel guns and pistols are a PIA to carry all day. M&P 9C bottom center. M&P tard here.

629, model 60 38 special and a 340 PD lightweight but a extreme recoil with full power 357 mag loads.

The 15 round Shield mags are a game changer for the 43x/48 glocks. Saying that my 48 has rendered my G19 damn near obsolete. I see no reason to ever carry it again , and for the record I really like my 19.

I have the same variety of kit, but it's better to have a selection of different hammers nonetheless!

My favorite depends on where I am going and what I am going to be doing but would mainly be a choice of Sig M11-A1 or P320C9, same basic size but vary between OWB and IWB. If just running to the Post Office I might clip IWB my Shield9. If going on more serious outdoor hikes or 4 wheeling, usually take the M7P9 loaded with Buffalo Bore Outdoorsman ammo. See! The choice it easy!

Sig 938, 9mm in ankle holster

Been wanting to get one of those...

I carry either my S&W Shield 9mm or My Gen 3 Glock 26. Recently got a Glock 43...but haven't carried it yet.

 

[washagonian]

I have since added the G43X (with 15rnd magazines!) alongside my G43 to the stable.... I got yer Glocktard right here!

What Stomper did / said.
G43X and Shield Arms 15 round mag.
Also stiffened the trigger with an 8# connector.

Agreed, different tools for different situations. Its good to have a full toolbox.

Any other favorites?

My enchilada... it's pretty badazz!!

 

[CLee0507]

Carried G19 for years but now a days for easier conceal G26 for sure.

NIce setup! I didn't realize the TLR-6 looked so good on a 26.

My monitor or eyes are playing tricks on me... what color is that? Bronze? FDE? OD?

 

[HA556]

My all time favorite! Walther PPS M2.

 

[Aero Denezol]

P238 or G43x

Sig 938, 9mm in ankle holster

Which ankle holster? Was thinking getting one for my p238.

 

[Raidingtime]

I think it's hard to beat most modern polymer framed single stack 9mms for everyday carry.

For anything smaller I think most snub noses or the .380 LCP / Smiths bodyguard has that market cornered.

Beyond these the options are endless when you scale up. Tons of great full sized and subcompact guns out there. Just be careful with these because they're fun to dream about carrying but not as fun carrying them regularly (that's the point right?).

Lately, I have been using a Smith & Wesson Model 4053 in the mornings when I wear a heavier cover garment and an S&W Model 3953 in the afternoon and evenings between two T-shirts. Great shooters and easy to carry.

I no longer own, shoot or carry handguns. I still shoot a rifle.

I did not buy my knife from the above (^^^) company. I bought if in person after I held it in my hands to see how it fit. I bought it from a brick/mortar store in my own town.

BUCK 113 RANGER SKINNER FIXED BLADE KNIFE

I may get one more knife for my 70th birthday later on this summer.

I only use fixed blade knives. I have BUCK - Made in Idaho, KA-BAR - Made in New York and a few other name brand knives.

I do open carry knives too. Larger blade knives and they are on my belt. They are usually carried in the wood/wilderness, hiking, camping, sometimes on my land towards the brushy/natural area towards the no build zone, and when traveling ON my body.

I always have a KNIFE on me or with me too. Most of the time, while outside on my land or about town - I do carry a SMALLER blade knife concealed like the one above or in another model or brand.

My husband carries a gun on him too. Over 20 years. Most of the time (95%), he carries concealed but he does open carry too. He ALWAYS has a pocket or folding knife on him. He has carried a knife on him since he was a kid. He carries a multi tool kit on his belt. He sometimes carries a fixed blade knife too.

My modified p320c

 

[Scout 38S]

NO heavier than a 640 J frame, six rounds, beautiful trigger, and night sights that are easy to pickup on presentation whether at night or in the day. It likes Remington 125 grain Golden Saber 357s. Did I mention it is accurate and all sharp surfaces have been melted.

those are pretty nice. I wish it had an external hammer though

 

[Scout 38S]

Raidingtime: They do it's called the DA/SA and they come in 2",3",4" and they are available.
Grant Cunningham designed it for Kimber.

Sig P365 in a sticky pocket holster, Streamlight MicroStream, Spyderco Endura, though in all honesty I waffle between this and a Charter Arms Undercover, neither is my favorite, that was a Walther PPS MKI that I foolishly parted with once the Sig got through a few hundred rounds without a hiccup. The PPS was heavier and carried two less rounds but it was the nicest single stack I've ever fired.
