bright sun, brisk dog walk, shorts and t-shirt

JERRY · Feb 14, 2020

so today I take the mutt for a stroll; hes 9 months old and everything is go go go so you can work up a sweat with him.

anyway I wore shorts and a t-shirt today and didn't want to look ridiculous with my G17 OWB, so I went for IWB. I've gained a few pounds over the winter and was not comfortable at all trying to stuff a gun and holster IWB with my overgrown butt in my pants already.

needless to say I went for a smaller gun IWB and a J frame dropped in a pocket. G42 IWB with a Rawdog rig and an AirLight 342PD Ti in an off side front pocket without a holster. Had I planed on spending more time with the J frame it would be in a holster to save the pocket lining, but for a walk it was ok this time.

What state are you in? I see the Cleveland Indians is your picture....if your in Ohio it was 17 degree high temperature today in the n.e. part and more power to ya if you braved that kinda weather!

I think it supposed to go down to -10 tonight, t-shirt weather sounds nice.

I wear long pants perhaps three or four days a year and it's shorts and tees the rest of the time.

I recently realized how uncomfortable my IWB carry was for the same reason. Winter.

I renewed my gym membership.

I'm kind of disappointed we didn't see a picture of the dog. (smile)

My 36 makes a good dog walking gun loaded with alternating HP and shotshells. Hostile dogs and snakes are the main threat here, but still capable against two- legged varmints.
My khaki shorts have cargo pockets which work well.

I back it up with a good 3" folder, mace, and a cell phone. Yes, its alot for a quick dog walk, but Ive had to fight off feral dogs here twice before and it sucks.

what area of bama do you live in? I imagine down around mobile it’s quite warm. Here in north Alabama it’s still 45-50 degrees

Me too.

Cargo shorts and a pocket holster are your friend. A G43X will fit just fine.

my favorite place War Eagle! I thought the concern in winter was which ammo to use for heavy clothing lol

I use to walk the dog at night while carrying a S&W Model 38, sometimes in my pocket or else in a Bianchi IWB clip-on holster. Nowadays I'm still walking the dog but have a S&W Model 638 or else a Kahr CM9 as my CCW of choice. Have a DeSantis SOF-TUCK IWB holster for both guns.

For those times when I want to really carry utralight, then my KelTec P3AT and Kershaw Shuffle go along.

And for those dog lovers out there: a gratuitous puppy photo!

For even the lightest of clothes my Walther Model 9 works well. The only issue is it's a swipe up for "Fire" mode.
