[Alan Fud]

Just curious if anyone carries a concealed double-stack pistol? While I prefer the double-stacks for home defense, a desk gun, car gun, etc.; I can't seem to be able to effectively carry a concealed one without a bulge. As a matter of fact, I've discovered that I can carry a larger single stack more effectively than I can carry a smaller double stack.

I used to carry a Beretta 92FS, but I am 6' 8." Now I carry 1911s of various lengths and they are easier.

[9x19]

I often carry my Kel-Tec P-11 in the summer time and my Glock 26 in winter... both double stack guns.

[Tamara]

P-228, G29, or G30 sometimes.

[faustulus]

Hi-Power
P226
P228
P229
CZ 75 SA

and as soon as I find a holster I like a USP .45

Of course I have a frame large enough to handle it. :)

[boing]

KelTec P11, but that doesn't really count because it's still so small, and often hides in a coat pocket anyway.

Sig P228, Glock 19, and CZ75B at one time or another, OWB mostly.

I've found blowing wind to be The Ultimate Evil afflicting the effectiveness of a cover garmet, which means that while all my double stacks (and my 1911s) can conceal very well when I'm standing around the house looking in the mirror, only the P11 is immune to the elements in regards to concealment.

[Hot brass]

Don`t tell anyone.

[Schuey2002]

Uber-Austrian Glock 19, day and night. . . 365. ;)

[IRONFIST]

Most everday I carry a custom ParaOrd P14 Stainless Limited. The king of the doublestacks. I am able to hide it quite nicely.... though I wish I didnt have to.

[Croyance]

Often times a Browning HiPower.
I forgot to say, on a 5'7" frame at 140 pounds.

[Warner]

Browning HP, and occasionally a S&W 6906.

Both on my strong side, and best concealed for me with a t-shirt and a looser overshirt.

[Kahr carrier]

G21,G23 or a Highpower -mexican style.:D

[Marko Kloos]

Yep...a CZ-75BD or PCR, depending on mood and weather. Next to the Browning HP, the CZ-75 series is possibly the easiest full-sized double-stack service pistol to carry due to its slimness.

[KMKeller]

HK USP .45c

[Ewok_Guy]

Been carrying a G23 for a while now, but thinking of switching to a full size single stack for the reason you stated.

[PCRCCW]

YEP.......5943 SSV, CZ PCR's and SA....
with a good rig anything is possible :rolleyes: :D
Shoot well

[Smoke]

I carry a P.14 Limited also, with a Hogue grip too. Can we get the grip any fatter?:D

I have big hands and really prefer the grip of a big fat double stack.

I will scale down as clothing mandates, but the P.14 is always my first choice.

[critter]

P-14 sometimes and sometimes P-16 in Milt Sparks summer special (IWB).

[Charles S]

I carry a BHP in a Milt Sparks IWB holster from time to time, but I usually carry a single stack gun.

Charles

[Wakal]

Custom P14, although I'm working up a STI with a Commander slide, chambered in 9 by 23 Supercomp.

From 15 .45ACP to 18 9 by 23. Technology is a grand thing.





Alex

[customfret]

All day every day.

Keltec P-40, Heritage Stealth 40, or sometimes Keltec P-11

Both IWB in Alessi Talon Plus' under untucked "T" or light weight vest.

[Pilot]

I carry a CZ-75 PCR normally and a BHP many times also. If I need something slimmer, I go to an HK P7M8.

[mr e man]

Para Ordnance P-14.45 limited:D

[yzguy]

P-11

[7677]

I carry my Glock 19 daily. However, I have thought about going to the G26

[P12]

P12-45 in a Fobus paddle or in a Triple K depending on which pants I wear or where I'm going.

[jmbg29]

G29

[Logistar]

Taurus PT-111 - Double stack.

Easy to carry. I don't carry my Beretta 92 (also double stack) nearly as often due to the weight and increased bulk.

[DDGator]

P-40 -- either IWB, Smartcarry, or pocket.

[12-34hom]

Just love to see all those Para fans.

[hutch24]

Kel-Tec P11 :D

[Navy joe]

Glock 17, Glock 34 and BHPs the only double stacks I own, all carried.

[incursion]

I've carried by P99 on occasion, but my P7 is much more comfortable.

A Glock 36 is a double stack?


I've carried a G19 on occasion.

[22x9]

Yep. Another vote for Kel-Tec P-11

I also carry my Steyr M-9 in its IWB quite comfortably.

[Mannlicher]

well yeah.................

BHP, CZ and a few others

[cool45auto]

Beretta 92fs Vertec. The straight back grip helps a little.

[darshan27]

Howdy,

Taurus PT 111 (9mm) and PT 145 (.45). In the summertime, I use DeSantis Nylon holsters for the 9mm, and can conceal this quite nicely. I also use an ankle holster when wearing baggy jeans or sweats. In colder months, I'll carry the 45. The PT 145 is one of the smallest (if not smallest) 45's that will carry a double stack with 11 rounds total.

Thanks,
Tony

[Stevie-Ray]

G26

[modifiedbrowning]

P99.

[MJRW]

Baby Eagle .40. And heavy like a gorilla eating concrete.

[firestar]

No way could I carry a double stack concealed everyday. If I had to do it for a job I could do it but just for everyday life, they are too fat and heavy. I carry a Kel-Tec P-32 everyday. When I say everyday, I really mean it. A lot of people claim to carry every day and they sat that the carry a CZ-75 or a Beretta 92 or a Glock 21. I don't buy it. I have been there and done that, you end up not carrying at times because it just takes too much to conceal them under certain circumstances. How many people are going to strap on their full sized pistol just to walk down the driveway to check the mail or to jump in the car and head down to the store for milk? I will have my P-32 on me but I would take a full sized gun. In that sense, the P-32 is great, it really is the gun for when you can't have a gun.

[Rally Vincent]

WHAT?

I missed something I guess.........Concealing a double stack is not really all that bigga deal people.

I got a Virtical rig for my Pre-B and it's not no problem to conceal, not at all.........I mean I don't walk around with it hang'n out in the open or anything but when I go out wearing my shoulder rig I just throw on my Dress coat or my leather blazer.......and, Da da da......It's gone!

When I'm in the house or yard I just leave it on........I wear it so often it's like the thing is not even there.

Weight is not a problem either......The duel mag pouches on the other side balance the weight out pretty good.

I'm in tight with local law enforcement too so I'd say that helps with the nasty looks from cops if its detected.......And when a reg Joe-Blow notices........well...........so?..............Chances are he's got one too.:eek: lol

But when to old rig gets alittle break I just slap on a pancake and I'm good to go......all day.

But I'll admit I get lazy sometimes, and just grab my MK9.:)

[voilsb]

blued beretta 92fs 15+1 strong-side IWB in front in the pocket of my hip. hides pretty easy. it prints slightly, but only b/c I know it's there and am *constantly* aware it's there. it makes the shirt look like it's got a little wringle or fold there, like any untucked shirt might.

[David Scott]

I carry a Ruger P-95 in a High Noon "Hideaway" IWB, under a denim or leather vest. Never been made. On one occasion, even my wife, who knows I carry, thought that all I had was her Kel-Tec P32 in a pocket.

[Kentucky Rifle]

I've kinda switched to my newer stuff. (You know how it is. You get a new pistol~you feel like having it on your hip.) But a lot of times, I carry my fat little Glock 27 in a black Rafter shark skin holster under an "untucked" shirt or under one of my concealment (yeah, yeah--I know.) vests. It's hard to beat nine .40 caliber RBCD's going out at 2100 FPS of muzzle velocity and 754 FtLbs of muzzle energy.

[Stevie-Ray]

Firestar,

I couldn't have said it better. When I carry my G26 or my CDP, it is in a belly band, which I forget about because it is so comfortable. Unfortunately both guns are hard to conceal with the upcoming weather and shorts and tank tops. This is where my PT-22 and a pocket holster shines, and why my next purchase is the P-32.

[denfoote]

A Glock 36 is a double stack?

OOPS!!! Me bad!!! The G36 is indeed a single stack!! I had it confused with it's unfortunate predecessor the Taurus PT-145!!!
Sorry!! :eek:

[glockten]

Lately I've been carrying a Para-Ordnance P14-45.

I often carry a Glock 29, and now and then a G20 or P12-45.

[fastbolt]

6906 & SW99 ...

[cool45auto]

No disrespect but I DO carry mine all the time. Only in my house is it not on me but its always within reach. Any time you see me, I have it.
