CCW - What & How do you carry?

CCW - What & How do you carry?

1. Gun: Kel-Tec P-11 9mm.
2. Holster: Regular holster (outside wasteband). Just forward of hip.
3. Cover: Sweater in the winter. Sometimes I put it in my coat.

Not sure what I'll do this summer in hot Texas? What & how do you carry and what do you use to cover it? Yes, I'm fishing for ideas!

 

[hawk0484]

Gun: model 65LS or model 60 LS
carried in: leather fanny/belly pack
cover: it is covered in the pack

Gun: see below
Carry method: IWB, 1 o'clock, Uncle Mike's open top holster
Cover: t-shirt does a good job

I usually carry a Wilson Millenium Protector in a Milt Sparks Summer Special, or a Galco Concealable. Like yourself, living in Texas makes concealed carry more problematic in the summer.

Once the summer heat really begins rising (and I'm in shorts & t-shirt, or often have my suit coat off), I'll often switch to a Kel Tec P-11, which I carry in an Alessi pocket holster. It carries perfectly and doesn't print at all. It also has the clip attached on the frame, so I can even carry it on jogging shorts if I'm dressed like that.

I hate the trade off from my .45, but at least it doesn't stay on a dresser, or in the glove compartment. geegee

Glock 27 (40 S&W) in a Coronado Leathers Stealth Pac.

On the recommendation of several knowledgable people, I checked out the Galco pack at a gun show. Nice, but also at the show, I found the Coronado product, which was cheaper and better, IMO, than the least expensive nylon Galco.

I got a medium, and have since found myself wishing I'd gotten a large so I could stuff more junk in there.

Mosts often a Kimber (I) compact stainless or a Colt Officers Model in Hard chrome in a Milt Sparks Summer Special IWB.

 

[Captain Bligh]

Favored carry: Kimber Compact Stainless (Series I) carried IWB in a Milt Sparks VM-2. Cover varies. Sweaters are preferred in winter. Sport coats and shirts with the tails out also suffice.

Alternate carry: On the bicycle S & W Model 60 in a D&S Enterprises Fanny pack. Sometimes in summer I carry the S&W under a shirt in a Galco Summer Special IWB.

[CTgunteacher]

Colt Commander .45 in FIST #20 IWB. Single spare mag in Dillon pouch. Very occasionally, a Slick and Willie 042 .38 Special in a belly band of pocket, with Bianchi Speed Strip for spare ammo.

I may end up moving to Arizona in the late summer, and if so I may have to reevaluate my primary carry gun, at least for the hot weather months.
