CHL Holders, what are your top 10 concealment handguns, methods of carry and if applicable, holsters and ammo?

Mine:

1.) Sig 229 .40 S&W carried IWB (Don Hume) or OWB (Don Hume) behind left hip. Gold Dot 180 gr. Golden Saber 180 gr. Or Federal Hydrashock 180gr.
2.) CZ PCR 9mm carried behind left hip IWB 147 gr. Golden Saber, Ranger or Gold Dot as well as 125 gr. And 125+P.
3.) Sig 228 9mm carried behind left hip IWB 147 gr. Golden Saber, Ranger or Gold Dot as well as 125 gr. And 125+P.
4.) CZ P01 9mm same as above147 gr. Golden Saber, Ranger or Gold Dot as well as 125 gr. And 125+P.
5.) Sig 225 9mm same as above147 gr. Golden Saber, Ranger or Gold Dot as well as 125 gr. And 125+P.
6.) Glock 26 same as above except when in T-Shirt, carried cross draw IWB with Uncle Mike’s el’cheapo special IWB hoslter147 gr. Golden Saber, Ranger or Gold Dot as well as 125 gr. And 125+P.
7.) Glock 19 cross draw as the 26 or behind left hip IWB (I like the G23 as well but is much harder to control in rapid fire.) 147 gr. Golden Saber, Ranger or Gold Dot as well as 125 gr. And 125+P.
8.) Glock 30 behind left hip in holster (too fat for IWB) 230gr. Winchester SXT or Federal 230 gr. Hydrashock
9.) Taurus CIA 650 .357 Magnum for a (drop in the pocket) gun. Using Uncle Mikes pocket holster for a convenient package for when I need 5 bad. Carry only Remington 125 gr. .357 mag. Which chronos over 1200 fps out of a snubby or Federal 125….about the same speed. (Note: this is a very difficult gun to shoot and I generally hate recoil, but shooting 110gr. .38 special target loads is a hoot)
10.) Sig Pro 2340 or SP2002 or SP2009. Really this is a duty sized weapon but can carry surprisingly well. The Pro shoots the .40 S&W very easily. Carry IWB behind hip or OWB behind hip. When driving, crossdraw IWB.

BTW:

Pics encouraged.

[M2 Carbine]

Kimber Tactical Ultra (Crimson Trace Laser grip)
Kimber Ultra Carry
Kel Tec .32 or .380

Don Hume JIT (belt)
Front pocket

45ACP= Aguila IQ HP
.32, .380= Cor Bon JHP

Only three, because if I knew of anything better I'd carry it.

[P95Carry]

SIG 226 ST now been duty solidly for a year - using a K&D Eagle Defender.

Prior to that was SP-101 in another K&D rig - OWB belt-slide copy of an old favorite Jim Burke style.

R9 BUG sometimes - either in K&D Pocket rig or small belt slide - maybe too even an ankle rig sometimes by pro-Tech.

Bianchi X-15 may see duty with SIG occasional - and that rig also served fine for P95 and BHP too.

M28-2 was carried for a period of time - that was in a JBP rig.

[XavierBreath]

Nowadays I might carry any one of these:
Smith & Wesson Model 38 in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster.
Modified Sistema in a handmade IWB holster I picked up at Clark's.
The same Sistema with a belt clip.
Modified Colt Compact in a IWB holster or a Don Hume JIT.
KelTec P32 on a belt clip.

[aguyindallas]

Because I wear a shirt and tie with no jacket, I am kinda limited.

When at work, I have a P32 in my pocket in one of Azrael's custom leather pocket holsters. Its not much, but its better than a stick.

When I am away from work:
SigPro 2340 in either a Desantis IWB or a Don Hume JIT slide holster or
Taurus 605 IWB Galco
S&W 64-2 in a Don Hume OWB Belt Holster

Now....I am getting ready to order a couple holsters for my G26 that I can hopefully tuck with at work.

[camper]

Kahr PM9 with Nemesis pocket holster or Don Hume IWB.
KelTec P3AT w/Nemesis pocket holster.
Taurus 651 w/Nemesis or Uncle Mikes pocket holster.

[Tigerseye]

I nearly always wear a shirt with the shirt-tail outside the pants. I buy shirts marked 'Tall' so that I get longer tails.

I nearly always carry a Colt Officers ACP Lightweight in .45ACP in a pancake holster on my right hip.

Sometimes I also carry a Kel Tec P3AT either in the hip pocket of my pants or in the side pocket of my jacket.

[gbran]

Glock G26. Usually carry in 5-11 tactical shirts or vests or shoulder holster.
When it's really warm and clothing is light, I carry a Kahr PM9 in a pocket.

[grimjaw]

I've only carried three on a regular basis.

Kahr K9 in a Bianchi OWB.
Ruger SP101 3" .38 in a Bianchi OWB
Makarov PM (Bulgarian) in a Falco IWB

I'm still considering a BUG but can't make up my mind on one.

HK P7 PSP
CZ75D PCR
Bulgarian Makarov
Beretta M85 FS
Sig P228
Taurus PT145 Mil Pro (as soon as my Don Hume holster arrives)

[waterhouse]

Top 10? I'll go through my progression as best as I can remember it:

1) Started with a Glock 19 in a kydex IWB holster. It didn’t fit my hand well, and I wasn’t very accurate with it. It worked all the time (still does, my brother owns it now) and I feel like it was a great carry gun . . . just not right for me.
2) SIG 228. . .another great gun, but not as convenient to carry as the
3) SIG 239 . . .which was very easy to conceal but which didn’t fit my hand well, and then I found
4) A SIG 225. This one was a keeper. Fit like a glove, accurate, and slim. If I had to go back to the 225 I would do so happily.
Now I alternate between a couple that I have found work best for me:

5) Commander sized 1911, milt sparks VMII
6) CCO sized 1911, milt sparks VMII
7) HK P7, milt sparks VMII

I don’t have a concealed holster for it, but at some point I’d like to try carrying my 3” ruger gp100.

I can't say this is a list of top 10 concealment guns, only the ones I have tried. I would have to add a Rohrbaugh and a snubby revolver to the list at least, and I'm sure I'm missing some other good ones, but for me it is P7 or 1911 these days.

[mainmech48]

While I can probably come up with ten handguns that I could carry, the list of those I actually use regularly is a bunch shorter.

1: Springfield "Loaded" Champion, 230 gr. Hydra Shoks, SXTs, or Gold Dots, Milt Sparks VM-II or Wild Bill's NSA IWB.

2: Para C7.45, same loads and holster rigs.

3: Star M-43 "Firestar" 9x19, 124 gr. Gold Dots, Milt Sparks Summer Special.

4: Keltec P-32, 60 gr. Hornady XTPs or Gold dots, Don Hume pocket rig - always.

Other Options, just for jollies:

Keltec P-11, 124 gr. Hydra Shoks or Gold Dots, Don Hume JIT.

EAA Witness 9x19, 115 gr. Silvertips, Safariland 5182.

CZ 97B, 230 gr. Hydra Shoks, Tex-Czech "Mustang" belt rig.

S&W 640-1, 125 gr. Remington BJHP .357 Mag., Don Hume BTB.

S&W 4586, 230 gr. SXTs, Bianchi "Askins Avenger".

Dan Wesson 15-2, Federal Premium Personal Defense 130 gr. .357s, Bianchi 5BHL.

[rbernie]

S&W Model 12.
Springfield/Kimber/Colt 1911 of some type.

[Richard.Howe]

I will assume that you're asking about rigs that you own or have owned. In order of concealability, from least to greatest:


Sig P220ST, Tripp HC, Winchester Ranger RA45T 230, Milt Sparks 55BN
Sig P220, Tripp HC slide, Winchester Ranger RA45T 230, Milt Sparks Versa Max II
Sig P245, Tripp HC slide, Winchester Ranger RA45TP (+P) 230, Milt Sparks Versa Max II
S&W 340SC, Speer GD 135, Kramer Pocket

My favorite compromise? The P245 setup.

Have a great day,
Rich

[The_Shootist]

Not quite top 10, but:

1) Makarov
2) Glock 19
3) 686+
4) 1911
5) SP 101 (3" bbl .357)
6) KT P-32
7) Z-70

Have to admit most of the time its the Mak or (for deep concealment) the P-32. Although if crime keeps going higher here in Houston, the G19 will likely see more time in leather.

[DAVE RICHARDS]

Not in any paticular order. Just whatever Ifeel like carrying that day.
1. Sig 245 with Winchester Rangr 230 gr. +p's (same load with all my .45's). Sig ccuracy and relibilty in a compact package. MMC adj. night sights.
2. H&K .45c. Super accurate, touh as nails, always shoots, choice of DA/SA or cocked and locked trigger pull. Mepro nightights
3. G-30. My "rough use" gun. MMC adj. nightsights, Wolff recoil set up and, 3.5 lb. connector. Most of my other guns are two tones. Wear the Glock when the gun might get banged around. Like when camping, hiking, and so on.
4. Sig P-239 9mm. Bought it just to take advantage of 9mm ammo being cheap. Soon fell in love with the gun. Houge rubber grip and Mepro nightsights. Loaded with Winchester Ranger 127 gr. +p+.
5. S&W 1911 Sc. Best out of he box 1911 I've ever owned. MMC adj. nightsights, Tripp hardchromed slide.
6. MK40. My favorite warm weather gun. I've been reading Kahr quality has dropped. A shame. My little MK40 is a work of art. factory nightsights and wood grips. Has fired every single time I've shot. Is very accurate. Very size efficient. A little heavy but that's not all bad in such a small gun with a big punch.
7. XD9. Just a great shooting and ergonomic
handgun. factory nightsights, Wolff recoil set up. It doesn't like Rangers though so I feed it 124 gr. +p Speer Gold Dots. Another excellent load.
8. Sig 220. The best DA/SA .45 made. MMC adj. nightsights, houge rubber grips, fctory short trigger. A cold weather gun when I can hide it under a big coat. Super accurate, totally reliable, superb trigger, feels great in the hand. What's not to love?
9. Beretta 96G Elite. If it's cold outside and you can hide a full sized gun why not? The gun was sweet to begin with. I had it hard chromed by Tripp. Night sights. Had Ernest Langdon do a level IItrigger job and install a short trigger
for me. The difference in feel with the short trigger and the change in trigger pull are nothing short of incredible! mr. Langdon has a gift. A shame he got out of Berettas and Sigs he made excellent better yet!
10. CZ-75B. Everyone knows this is one of the finest guns made for the money. Hell it's made of steel and has a polymer coating that is super tough. It will shoot groups as tight as any gun I own. It's size makes it a cold weather gun also.
In addition these guns aren't primary carry but are usually with me when I'm carrying the above mentioned guns

A.. S&W 642. Mostly for BUG. usually cold weather BUG Just the best balance of light weight, easy carrying, non-snagging, shoot throuh the pocket if you have to .38 snubbie made. Excellent bang for the buck. If I had to carry it as primary wih 135 gr. +p Gold Dots I wouldn't feel under armed. Most confrontations are over in 2-3 shots at less than 10 ft. The little gun will do fine at these ranges. The lttle .38's have worked well for a long, long, time. hard to not like 'em.
B, KelTec P-3AT. Warm weather BUG. Also I can carry this in situations in which I couldn't get away with anything else. Yes I know the .380's not a geat carry round, But it bets the hell out of a.22, .25, or .32. Seveh rounds rapid fire into a bad guys chest and head would do the job I believe. I ue the Hornady XTP JHP in this gun. The only .380 that gets close to the 12 inch minimum of penetration of the F.B.I. criteria. No it doesn't get much expansion but the holowpoint will open some and even with mild expansion should give a better wound profile than fmj. Plus it is super accurate and reliable through my gun. The other JHP's in this caliber will mushroom better but usually pentration really suffers. But hey .380 is a compromise anyway you look at it.

[Dr_2_B]

I'm new here - What's CHL?

[ewb45acp]

95% of the time it's a Kimber pro-carry. Strong side 4:00 in a Don Hume OWB.
A number of other 1911s on rare occassions in the same setup.

On days that I absolutely do not want to carry, I carry a Taurus 605.

[KIDGLOCK]

G-22 Robar grip reduction Express Sights
Galco IWB

Why do you need 10 carry guns???? KISS

[denfoote]

I'm new here - What's CHL?

Merkin,
Welcome.
CHL refers to the phrase Concealed Handgun License.

That out of the way,
I have been vacillating back and forth between large and small, 9mm and .45ACP, and single stack vs. double stack, for years.

The winner seems to be small single stack. The caliber is still being decided.

To that end, I usually carry either a Glock 36 or a Kahr MK9 Elite 98.

The Glock is carried in a Galco ArmorTek paddle holster and the Kahr in a DeSantis #2 belt rig.

[Merkin.Muffley]

Thanks for the info on what CHL is. Can't get one where I live so I never carry a gun.

[Lonestar.45]

Top ten? I wish I had 10. But in reality, I'm a firm believer in picking one or two, making sure they work, practice, and sticking with them. That said:

1. Kahr PM9 in a Nemesis pocket holster, Smart Carry, or Hidden Ally IWB--Federal 115 Hydrashoks
2. Kel-Tec 3AT in a Nemesis pocket holster, Smart Carry, or Galco USA IWB; Speer 90 Gold-Dots

The only other thoughts I had were picking up a S&W J Frame, maybe a 637 or 642, but I'm happy with the PM9 and 3AT now.

[bulbboy]

1) Kahr Mk9 in a IWB from K & D Holsters
2) Glock 27 in a VM2 milt sparks
3) Walther PPK/s in a Oklahoma State University Holster from Donner Gunleather
4) Kahr MK9 in a snake skin holster from K & D
5) Glock 27 in an OWB from K & D
6) Walther in a pocket holster from K & D
7) Glock 27 in Galco Glove Ankle holster
8) Sig 239 SAS in a snake skin holster from K & D (well I'm sure it will top the list when it comes in!)

J or I frame sized .38 or .32 Magnum Revolver

[ALS]

Summer gun is either Browning HP or the Sig 228 in paddle holster on hip. Dress gun is my Sig 230 in380. Winter gun is a HK USP 45 in a Wilderness Safe Packer Holster so I can hide it in plain sight. If I need to hide the gun from prying eyes I carry a Colt Officers .45 in a paddle holster or in a Pager Pal.

1) Kel Tec P11 9mm +P IWB in Mitch Rosen Workman holster
2) Taurus M85 .38 +P Ultralite in my own hand made IWB holster
3) Grendel P12 .380 acp in my own wallet style pocket holster rear pocket of my jeans.
4) Rossi M68 .38 +P in my own IWB or OWB on a gun belt (outdoors carry)
5) Ruger P90 .45 ACP in Milt Sparks summer special or OWB on a gun belt for outdoor carry
6) Ruger P85 9mm +P in the same Milt Sparks
7) My "always gun", NAA .22 mini revolver in folding "holster grip" always in a front jeans pocket
8) any of the first three guns in an Uncle Mike's ankle holster or a Phoenix Arms HP.22 in said rig if I got really, really desperate. I only carry that POS for plinking or perhaps a rabbit or something outdoors, really. I have a pocket holster I made for it, too, for a rear jeans pocket.
9) Taurus M66 4" .357 magnum in an Uncle Mike's shoulder holster, IWB if I was really desperate or OWB on a gun belt.
10) Ruger Blackhawk 4 5/8 .45 Colt shooting +P++++ in an uncle mikes shoulder rig or OWB on a gun belt.

I have carried a contender in .30-30 in a shoulder holster under my hunting coat, but only because I was on the way to my deer stand in the morning. Coming home, I stopped for coffee at a convenience store with it under my hunting coat. If that lady only knew. ROF!

99.99% of my carry is the first three choices PLUS #7 cause I've always got that little mouse gun in a pocket.
