Summer Carry Picture Thread

Usual summer attire for me, tee shirt and jeans. Glock 17 with a reload and a Brit Commando. All I need now is a better camera.

This thread looks................ Familiar. lol TT Gunleather IWB, shorts, cheap T shirt, Hank's belt, HK USP Compact.

Heading into the mountains in a bit to do some huckleberry picking, so I'm packing the G29 OWB and open carry. This is Idaho, so I'll stop by a local grocery store and diner before heading out with no worries about someone raising a fuss about a pistol...

What holster is that?

When that was taken, it was the Blade Tech Ambi Klipt. I think these days they might be calling it the "Ultimate Klipt".

Its a little different than their regular Klipt, as the clip is on the side, which helps keep the bulk down and helps pulls the grip into you. As does that little "tail" you see there that your belt pulls on.

This is it where you can see it.....




Its a true "ambi" too, and can be set up for right or left hand use.


For the past 6-8 months Ive been using one of Suarez's "Gunfighter" holsters. Same basic thing, just a little more stable. It also has a bit of a bump at the bottom that pushes the grip more inward as well. Took a little to get used to that (had a little "hot spot" going on there for a while), but its all good now.

Just took this now....






This is it in the open.....




If you look at the bottom, you can see that "bump".

Both holsters work well, and I'd recommend either.

My "summer carry" lcp has pretty much became my "year 'round" carry
.
Lcp in a Desantis SofTuck.

Modified foxx hybrid(for g27) to fit my charter bulldog xl in 45 colt. Tucked into pants. T-shirt under an untucked company button up.

I didn’t see anything limiting this to ccw so here’s my every day carry all summer long.

Typically during the summer I wear jeans and a Polo shirt. Primary EDC is either a Kahr CM9 or a S&W Model 638 and a KelTec P3AT along for the ride. I use DeSantis SOF-TUCK holsters for the 9mm. and the .38 and a older Concealment Concepts The Jaguar pocket holster.

Even during the summer I hog hunt and fish. While out doors I prefer to carry a right size revolver (n frame Smith or Ruger SA) with my body type (fatty boombatty) I conceal pretty easily. Pic below is of my 629 in a Mernickle PS6 holster. I do wear basketball shorts while on small hikes or even just to the grocery store. The m and P bodyguard .38 fits the bill, in fact it's my pocket gun that will always be on me cept while hunting. When I'm out and about with the family or friends an M and P 2.0 compact rides by my side as well as the .38. I need to get the darn desantia nemesis holster for the .38 just carrying in some cheap Walmart pouch pocket holster . Last pic is my typical EDC just switch the LCP for the .38 now.

I am amazed some of you are not causing a wobble in the rotation axis of the earth with the amount of metal you’re carrying. lol

When I carry it’s a LCP in a kydex holster in my front pocket, year round.

Every once in a while I try to find a better mouse trap but I always end back up with a 1911.

In the summer my Dan Wesson Valkyrie CCO in a Vedder Light tuck does the job. Couple mags in the back pocket, knife and Leatherman does the trick.

Winter comes around I might switch it to a bobtail .45 or Sig 226 SAO, but the lightweight 9mm CCO works best in the heat for me.

Is that a standard capacity or high capacity cell phone?

Let's be honest, 75 guns and 1,000,000 spare rounds ain't gonna save you from John Wick...

Clint Smith said something once that sticks with me. " The gun is supposed to be comforting not comfortable." With that being said I still like being comfortable.

The cell phone is my Motorola Mini Droid. I love it for it's truly small size and how easily it fits in my pocket.

So I guess it would be considered standard capacity in comparison to some of the larger phones out there.

No kidding! If this is summer carry, I can’t imagine what these people carry in the winter. Rocket launchers? LOL

I carry the same things, in the same place, year round. Why wouldnt you?

Your gun is a part of your daily wear, not an accessory you change out to fit what youre wearing.

Since weight matters more to me in the heat I may change to a heavier 1911 (steel .45) or a SAO Sig in the winter.

Same manual of arms, same location, same holster in the 1911s case. Same location for spare mag, etc.

Well, the title of the thread is “Summer carry,” so to me that implies that your carry might change somewhat with the seasons.
