What Do You Carry Concealed...and Why?
« on: December 27, 2010, 03:36:25 AM »
I was wondering what everyone carries...concealed.  I would like to hear why you chose that particular weapon.

Sig Sauer P232, .380 ACP caliber, 7+1 rounds. I also carry an extra mag.
Chose it because I use a pocket holster, and wanted small, light, reliable.

Most days, I carry a 10mm Glock 29 and a spare mag in a Safepacker... because it's a cannon, and I'm a pessimist.
When I'm keeping it discreet, I carry a .38 S&W 642 in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster.

S&W Bodyguard 380-- Nice shooting gun easy to conceal with an in the waistband holster for places I'm aware of and a
S&W M&P 9C with a crimson trace laser in the waist band holster for carrying packs a little more power for traveling in Wilmington late at night and if I;m really not sure of where I'm going a S&W 40 M&P.  Smith and Wesson makes the best pistol in my mind next to Heckler and Koch if you would like to spend the money as I have.  Just a little pricy to cary along with my S&W 1911.

Glock 19-9 with a laser because it works all the time. Gotten so used to it I don't even know it's there anymore. I installed the laser because I walk early in the mornings (0500-0600) & bad guys stand out better with a flashing red light on them. When I OC I usually carry my Stainless Ruger GP-100 357 which has very good stopping power. I will carry either in a side holster sometimes.

I carry a Kimer Tactical Pro II 45 ACP in a modified Blackhawk Serpa holster.  I also carry 2 spare 8 round magazines with Pow-r-Ball ammo.  A gerber tactical knife, and occasionally a Smith & Wesson Model 37 in an ankle holster (backup gun).

I own a Springfield 40XDSC and hope one day to carry it.  Just love the feel.

Depends on whether I'm carrying in my purse or on my person and how I'll be dressed.  Casual vs. dressy.

If I'm carrying on my person (and I'm not dressed fancy) Glock 32.357 or Sig Sauer P229 9mm.  If I'm carrying in my purse then SW9VGE or SW40VGE.  If I'm dressed up and have little room to carry concealed, then I'll carry my Taurus .380.

I usually carry a Ruger LCR .38 in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster sometimes with a Beretta 3032 in an Uncle Mike's ankle holster for backup. Occasionally, if I know I'll be keeping my jacket on in the winter, I carry a Colt Commander 9mm in a Blackhawk Serpa concealment holster. I've even carried my XD 45 Tactical under my jacket. Believe it or not, that cannon is fairly easy to conceal under a jacket.

I carry situationally like most everyone on this forum.  Ruger LCP when in summer attire with maybe just a T-shirt on.  For the winter or anytime I have bulkier clothing I carry S&W M&P9C.  I feel comfortable carrying 9mm although I'm sure many in here would say its either not enough or the bare minimum.  Its the cartridge I can control the best and I figure rounds on target is better than rounds missing target.

It depends when and where. Daily as I go to and from work I like to carry a smaller and lighter gun that is easy to get in and out of the belt, and for that I use mostly a SA EMP 9mm. If I am going out at night, weekend,... I carry a commander 1911.

But if I am working outside, or if it is raining, and I know I will get wet I will carry a Glock26 or Glock29!
