Best "summer carry" cc gun

[nwilliams]

It may be a bit early in the year but what's your favorite "summer carry" pistol. The one you carry when all you have on is jeans and t-shirt? Anybody come across anything new on the market that you think makes the best summer carry weapon?

S&W 342.......Been my pocket gun for 5 years. Hard to beat.

I wear the same clothes all year round. Typically slacks or jeans with a fashionable button down shirt (more like club going style than business style ), untucked when possible. I just put a coat over them in the winter. No need to change out the P345 from my carry gun in the summer. I'm not a t-shirt guy though. I'm always stylin'.

S&W M637 Airweight .38spl

I carry my Glock 23 in a Fobus paddle holster while wearing jeans and a T-shirt all summer long. I'm long and skinny, though, and tend to wear loose T-shirts. That may not work for everyone...

My Favorite "Armed when almost naked" gun is the Keltec P3AT, carries just like a second wallet, I can even go without a shirt with it in my hip pocket. It also fits nicely into the key pocket sewn into some swimsuits, probably not a good idea to actually swim with it in there.

 

[Kankujoe]

+1 for the Kel-Tec P3AT...

 

[Clipper]

P3AT

 

[AK103K]

Same gun, year round, P229

 

[GardDog223]

S&W 640PD .357 in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster worn year round.

I wear the same thing all year around usally. If it is hot in the summer and I wear shorts I still carry the same thing. Glock 26 in a C.T.A.C.

While this upcoming summer will be my first summer to carry, Mississippi winters have a few weeks of 70 + teperature. I carried a Glock 23 wearing jeans, a t shirt, and a light button down shirt. typically what i wear in the summer. Seems to work out ok.

In AZ, t-shirt weather is 90% of the year. This is why I use a high back holster, to protect the gun, and my skin from chafing, under the large t-shirt. Also, break up patterns in the shirt can assist in concealing. Solid colors will help "print".

1911's year around.

 

[rangerruck]

i'd go kel tec. light, smooth, rounded corners, 10 rounds. fits easily in any shorts pocket.

 

[Imaginos]

Summers in Dallas

Ruger SP101 in either a pocket or IWB.

 

[Deathrider1579]

It depends on what you wear lol I know smartass answer but its true!

I carry my P3AT in both seasons we have here in Texas (HOT + Rain and Cold + Rain) I sometimes carry one of my other pistols but the P3AT is my usual.

S&W 638 (.38) in a Kramer pocket holster.

 

[Marshall]

Model 60 .357 IWB appendix carry.

In AZ, t-shirt weather is 90% of the year.

Then there are the times (like now) when I, personally, am walking around wearing my heavy overcoat. I could hide an AK-47 if I want to!

Bersa Thunder UC45 in the pocket.

 

[Essex County]

Smith Model 60, 2". I have considereg a .32 Kel-Tec, but I'm not yet convinced. Someone convince me.......Essex

 

[Wesson Smith]

S&W Model 642 Airweight, loaded with Speer Gold Dot 135 gr. 38SPL +P JHP, carried in a DeSantis pocket holster.

 

[Fawkes]

Kimber Compact in a Kramer #2 IWB holster, and when I can't manage that, an NAA .22 revolver in the pocket does the trick.

Essex County...Check the Chromed P3AT

Mine has never failed. They are more reliably because of the chrome and a slightly larger bullet. My police officer freinds and family tell me to carry solids year round, never JHPs.

You know, every now and then I read something that is so obvious once it's pointed out...but that I've never given a single though about previously. I think I need to review my summer shirts.

Back on topic though, Taurus PT-140 year 'round.
