Does your carry rig change with the seasons?

My year around EDC is a S&W Shield 9X19mm. Spring-Summer-Fall&Winter the EDC remains the same carried in the same manner. Its just the way I am .At the mid point of my seventh decade I'm set in my ways.

Same all year for me. I’m lucky to have a body shape which allows me to conceal a Super Redhawk if I wanted to.

I have LONG done this, change per dress. My favorite has always been a GM 1911. Its of course a lot easier in colder weather. So its pretty common for me to "settle" for smaller when the weather is warmer. I did many years ago find I like the vests sold for things like photographers for when weather is warmer. They are light material and make it so I can still carry the full size a lot more even when its warm.

Yes I pocket carry a Sig P938 until hunting season then I open carry A Glock G27.

No. I dont switch anything up. Same gun, same place, same spare mag location. Only occasionally have a new holster, that goes into the same place.
I match my attire to the gun and carry method not the other way around

My shirt is untucked all year, if its cool I wear a sweatshirt.
Glock 19 minimum, alternatively a Glock 22 or 20SF ... in the heat, in a "good area" where I don't think I "need" it. (yea, even walking the big dogs).
So no, my carry doesn't change with seasons, or area - carry the "bad area" gun everywhere.

I carry a P365 OWB when it is cooler, pocket carry when it is warmer.

Never wear white after Labor Day

No.

No.

Same, Same, Same.

Yes, I always wear the biggest gun I can comfortably conceal... and in the winter time with a jacket that's a bigger gun than in the middle of summer.

Same pistol, but I go from IWB kydex to OWB thumb break leather.

Not really. Last year, winter was on a Tuesday and I had to work anyway.

When wearing a sufficiently-full-cut cover garment, I can enjoy the increased comfort of using holsters that do not ride so high, or as closely to my body. I do not, necessarily, carry a smaller weapon in warmer weather, and a larger weapon in cooler weather.

A longer-cut cover garment does, of course, simplify carrying a longer-barreled weapon, but barrel length can be independent of the weapon’s frame size.

For the warmer weather months it's my Kahr CM9 or my S&W Model 638, carried in a DeSantis Sof-Tuck IWB holster. When it gets colder out and I'm wearing a vest, a jacket, or a heavy coat then I might go with something a bit larger like a Colt Commander, a Ruger SR9c, a CZ P01, or a SIG P229 in an OWB holster. I have a Bianchi Minimalist which works with several different handgun models and an older Bianchi Askins Avenger which is great with any size 1911. For the others I have found DeSantis makes a decent, well fitting OWB holster with their E-Gat, L-Gat, Mini Slide, and Mini Scabbard designs.

Always the same for me. I don't like the idea of needing to split up my practice to cover 2 different firearms, but I'm someone who normally removes my coat and walks around in a t-shirt indoors in the winter anyway.

I'm pretty sure Paul Harrel did a bit that dispelled the myth about heavier clothing needing a larger caliber and it was more about picking the right ammo (ballistic tip vs straight hollow point) for your carry gun.

Always the same for me.

The carry rig is pretty much determined by WHAT I'm doing, not when.

Nope.

Nope.

Sometimes. I live in Alabama so on particularly hot days I may not want to carry 30+ oz worth of gun and ammo. So I will carry something similar but smaller.

That right there.

I like to carry my nicer guns sometimes.
If I can wear a sport coat, then I can choose whatever I want to carry.
I can get by with my python or commander owb.

Nope, still carry a 686.
