Sidearms & Scatterguns Concealed Carry: What is your setup?
- Thread starter Metal Gear
- Start date
Glock 19 in a Glock Sport/Combat Holster. Tried many different options that cost several times more, but the Glock holster just offers simplicity. Holds the weapon in tight, retains it better than the flavor of the day Kydex holster, and is light and flexible.
J frame in a nylon pocket holster with a Bianchi speed strip. Extremely comfortable, but only 5 shots before a painfully slow reload. I'm strongly considering a S&W shield in 40 cal. Like someone else said, I'm waiting for Glock to put out a single stack subcompact in 9 and 40. Whoever heads their R&D department has dropped the ball for the past decade.
I live in California and am not to be trusted with a gun. Only LEO's should have guns. 
Sadly, no concealed carry for me.....

But if I could carry it would be a Kahr PM9 (pocket carry) or a Glock 19 (IWB).

I dunno 'bout you but my XDs is awesome to carry, I think you should give it a chance. Are you a big guy? If so that might explain why you dont like the XDs.

5" 1911 in a Big Ugly Leather Works MKIII Do All. This rig totally turned me off store bought holsters all together. Most comfortable thing hands down whether worn IWB, or OWB.
Usually carry a spare Wilson Combat 10 rounder, SOG Twitch II knife for the random box or two that needs opening, SOG PowerLock multi-tool, soapstone, and Moleskine book as well.

Issued Glock 19 in a raven concealment , Glock 19 in a galco quick slide at home.
I've got a Glock 19 with TLR-2. All work done by yours truly. It is stippled, shaved, undercut. I put a _____ (can't remember the brand) 3.5# connecter in there, filed the overtravel bar down to just enough so the trigger would break reliably. I also put a lighter trigger spring in it. I messed with a competition spring kit for a while when I wasn't carrying it and it just never shot as well. I now have just the trigger spring from the kit in there and it feels great. Its right at 3.8#, pretty crisp with a great reset (.... for a glock). I've got around a metric shit ton of rounds through it probably 10,000+ (lost track after the first 7 cans of 9mm lol).
I carry it in a High Desert Custom Kydex holster that can be worn IWB or OWB and am working on a drop leg system for it since it gets in the way of my plates at times. There usually a pocket knife but no need for a light as the guns already got 200 lumen of it.
I also have a Noveske that is hidden with a quick latch release in the truck of the vehicle in case SHTF. Can't see it unless you know where to look.

These threads always make me think of posting a "what is your address, where do you key your spare key, and what is your gun safe combination" thread just to see who will post up their unmentionables.
I carry a tin foil hat and a sense of self-assured security that my local law enforcement professional will protect me, should anyone ever wish to do me harm - not that anyone ever would.
Carry on, serious marksmen, carry on.

A pre-lock S&W 342ti, about 13oz loaded, pocket or ankle carry. Simple, lightweight and reliable, but I will admit theres some awfully nice slim semis out there these days.
I love the variety of concealed carry setups that are presented on this thread! It really just goes to show how beautiful this craft is, so many good choices out there that everyone can pick their own flavor and size that suits them best.
But aren't you already posting on a gun forum as well? Just being an active member here, most will assume you own firearms
Most true tinfoil type wouldn't even post anywhere like this publicly, nor post their location.
M&P 9 riding in an HSP/G-Code INCOG Holster. For typical daily carry, I use the Mag Caddy and carry both appendix. During Winter (when I can actually wear a hoodie/Columbia) I use a pair of HSGI Pistol TACOs on a Raven Concealment ModuLoader frame...not cumbersome or heavy IMO, and its 51 rounds on my person. Carry the M&P at 3 or 4 oclock in the INCOG without having to fiddle with the position of the clip...solid repeatable draw...hangs onto my belt well. Conceals well, and I am built like a stick at that...if going out at night I'll rock the ModuLoader/TACOs with one spare mag and my Surefire G2X. M&P Shield mags work awesome in the TACOs as well...I need good Kydex for that gun still though.
About the most conscious decision I have to make during summertime is what shirt I'm putting on...I look like I'm expecting a small box or trying to steal something if I choose poorly when carrying appendix.

I carry my backup, a Glock 27, off-duty concealed either on the ankle holster I wear while on duty or it's carried in a CB Supertuck. I try not to leave home without it, but there are times I leave it behind.
XDS 45 in a kydex iwb holster plus reload, Hornady critical defense 185's. Shoots very well, is damn comfortable to carry, and I can conceal it quite well even under a tshirt. The pierce grip extension makes a world of difference once I can get my pinky on to it and it doesn't make any difference on printing.
Wow! A 5.7? I too would be concerned with over penetration with that short .223. But if I had one I'd carry it no doubt! During the winter I have a gov't model 1911, or a S&W 29. When it warms up, I'm really diggin' this S&W 642. Sometimes a Glock 19. The 642 is the only one I actually just put in a back pocket, the others ride OWB leather from Galco or Ritchie out of Buffalo. Great thread! Carry an old Bersa .22 also. Almost fits in a pocket. Good luck and good shooting!

Wait a minute! Tin foil? Where can I find this precious metal before congress inacts the "Anti-Al-you-min-um Law of 2014"? " Guns....guns....guns...C'mon Sal....Tigers are playin' tonight..I never miss a game!"

Since it is on my side while I am up and at the bedside while asleep your best bet would be to try to take it while I shower.
