Its' summertime, what are you carrying now the heat is on? (PICS Added)

[Teufelhunden]

I stick with my all-season carry: my 4"bbl Springfield XD40. Slide & internals hard-chromed by Tripps in TX before he quit to further his M1911 mag business, a 22lb Wolff spring instead of the stock 17lb, and Trijicons installed post-purchase. Simple, reliable and comfortable to carry & shoot.

It rides in either a Sidearmor IWB or more recently, in a Blackhawk CQC. To digress, I must say I'm impressed with the CQC, especially compared to the quality of some of the other Blackhawk goods.

Cover garments are the same as TFW for the most part: untucked buttondowns. Last summer I found some short-sleeve linen buttondowns at Target for $8 and bought a couple. They've been life-savers on the truly God-awful hot days down here...

Same as always...

Para Ordnance P12-45, 10+1, in a belly band under a light weight shirt. I have also carried my Makarov ( 9x18 ), my Walther PPK/s ( 9x17 ), and my Colt Model 1908 Hammerless ( .380 ) on ocassion. But nothin' says packin' like a 45!!

 

[33-805]

Usually a S&W 638 or 640 or a Glock 27 in a front pants pocket holster. If there's any chance of wearing something that would conceal a belt holster, that'll be a Glock 30 or 22. In the winter, I just go with the Glock 21 all the time. I am, unfortunately, among the ranks of the "gravitationally challenged" (6"1" and 265) so I can hide a LOT of gun. I have been derided by friends as being the "gun du jour" carrier. In my defense, I always have a gun when they wish they did.

Usually it's the Bersa MiniFireStorm .45 in an El Paso Saddlery high-ride pancake OWB, with my uniform trouser belt (wide and durable and supports better than a regular dress belt, and I'm too cheap to spend $70 on a "gun belt"), jeans, a t-shirt, along with an oversized button-down shirt or an oversized polo shirt to cover it up. It's hard for even ME to tell I'm carrying while wearing that.

On occasion, or in the off-chance I need to wear a shirt, tie, and jacket, it's my Weirauch/EAA Windicatior snub-nose in a Uncle Mike's IWB holster. Also found this works around anti-gun members of my family (especially my grandmother, who would probably freak out at the sight of me carrying, even though she knows I carry) with a loose-fitting sweater and khakis. Also works well for me with shorts and an XL-sized t-shirt (I usually fit M or L).

Once in a while I just get in the mood to carry the revolver OWB, so it's a cheap Uncle Mike's pancake-style holster for it. Same dress as the Bersa in that condition.

Other than the gun, a speedloader for the .38 in the right-front pocket, Kershaw 1550ST Speed-Safe folder clipped to inside right-front pocket, wallet, keys, cell phone, and occasionally a Garrity 3AAA LED flashlight in it's provided belt holster if I"m going to be outdoors at night (outside of the car in a not-so-well-lit area). Still gotta order the spare mags for the Bersa ($40-45 per mag, and my budget is "starving artist"-limited ).

Personally, I hate carrying IWB, but have always come to the understanding of "comforting before comfortable".

Kel-Tec p32

 

[mattx109]

Browning Hi-Power in a Milt Sparks VersaMax II. It works in any weather. If necessary I can change out the leather loops for kydex clips that allow a shirt to be tucked in, but I've never had occassion to need it.

 

[Byron Quick]

5" 1911 in a Galco Royal Deluxe holster strong side. Kahr P9 in a DeSantis holster for BUG. T-shirt and shorts with a thin shirt over for concealment untucked and buttoned at the bottom to prevent the wind from flashing the weapons. Kershaw folder clipped to weak pocket with Surefire E2e. Occasionally wear a vest instead of the shirt.

When dressed in scrubs for work I carry a Keltec P3AT. Just got a rigger belt and will probably try wearing the 1911 under my scrub top. Rifles, Glock 20 and Glock 29 in the truck. I was a Boy Scout. Some of it stuck.

 

[W Turner]

While at or going to/from work I either carry a SW j-frame tucked into a Azrael (GREAT!) pocket holster in my right front pocket or it is riding on the seat beside me.

Any other time it's a S/A Lightweight Loaded Model in a Milt Sparks Summer Special. Occasionally I will carry my Glock 17, but I have found that I like the idea of a Glock much more than I like the reality, so it may go on the trading block before too long.

Hmmm is it possible to be an old fart that only really cares for 1911's and revolvers when you're only 28?

Well, I'm 28 and still working on purchasing a 1911 (saving up for either a Kimber or a Para); but as far as the revolvers go: ABSOLUTELY!
