Same all weather.
One of a few 1911s, two extra loaded magazines.

Why are you guys reminding me that I'm getting another knee replacement in the next couple of months.
More fall carry (the 227, yes I love the .45 ACP):
Well enjoy, I may still pick one up. I ended up with the XTen for now and she's sweet as well...

Believe it’s heavier than a full size 5” loaded 1911, unloaded. Need a good belt!

Aww, just a few ounces heavier. That’s why it’s gonna be my *Fall* carry. Makes my pants fall down.

Looks like more 100+ days as far out as the forecast goes. Too hot to go to the outdoor range so will try the indoor tomorrow. In the meantime studying some history.

In the woods I carry my S&W 28-2 4” with .357 loads of 168 gr SWC over a stout load of 2400.
All other is my XD-45 with 14 Gold Dots.

Please tell me more about that pistol.
Thank you
The DW is a wonderful looking handgunHere's my 'Fall Carry' ensemble....actually, it's my spring summer & winter choice as well....big or little, auto or revolver, they go on the right hip at ~3:30 position. Rod
Take care of the hip as long as possible. My MIL fell getting out of the car, broke the head off the femur and then stood up. That did damage and the surgeon lengthened her leg by 1/2" so it is nothing but trouble.
I lived in Bay City for a while in the early 90's. That area had three seasons: Brown - November to April, Browner - May and June; Brownest - July to November. Even if a storm blew in the grass was always brown. Soils was sand and lawn irrigation did minimal to change anything.
To the original question, I do not change carry based on weather patterns. Primary is Glock 30 in crossbreed supertuck between 3 and 4. Alternate is Kimber compact in same brand holster and location.
I have dressed with dress shirt tucked in, t-shirt out or in cooler weather, t-shirt tucked in with hoodie.
The Glock setup served me well in South Florida a few years back when I worked there for two years.
Each person is different and has to do what works best for them

Looks like a classic CBob to me.

Wish I could still carry my VBob but my back has said NO, very emphatically. Tried again a few weeks ago before I finally broke down and got a lightweight.

Another fall - winter carry. Yes, of course is a Dan Wesson. One of my favorites (the CBOB, I mean).
Another winter carry that I like in a Galco Miami Classic when walking/hiking with a heavier jacket:
