What's your Summer Carry weapon?

Kel-Tec PF9 year-round (southern Florida) worn OWB, either in an IWB holster worn between the belt and pants, or in a more-recently-acquired OWB slide holster. It's frequently accompanied by a P32 riding in a pocketed pocket holster.
 
Same as always ... Glock 23 with CTC laser. But I will drop back 165 grain Golden Saber in place of 180 grain. BUG is a G27 with CTC LaserGuard that's always loaded with 180s
 
Previously a Kahr cw9 OWB that disappeared nicely. I lost my gut over the winter so now it is a glock 26 IWB in a theiss holster or appendix carry. Instead of getting +2 shorts, the shooter went -2. :) Unfortunately my old +2 shorts are hopelessly too large.
 
That's the best way to do it! Congrats. Feels great doesn't it?

Thanks! It does. My goal was to get healthier, but the side benefits were great...a boost in confidence, overall feeling better, more energy AND room in my waistband for something I'm more comfortable shooting. My +2 pants were getting more and more fitting without a gun in my waistband so I had to do something. ;)
 
I carry either a LCP in a Crossbreed MiniTuck or DeSantis Nemisis, or a Glock 19 in a Crossbreed QwikClip. These are my year round carry guns.
 
Currently a Beretta M85FS, but I am considering getting a Walther PPS for this role.
 
Summer carry gun

Gator1Gear: CW-9 in the pocket holster on cargo shorts or a Fobus OWB holster. Or a 640 S&W in a pocket holster or a Fobus OWB holster. Both with Crimson Trace Lazer Sights on them with Hornaday Cittical Defence ammo. Both are great IMO, and I really enjoy shooting both of them and shoot them a lot. GOOD LUCK TO YOU: ken
 
Smith and Wesson M&P9. Same as winter. Changing what gun you carry increases your response time when you need to react to a threat. If you do carry multiple guns, at least make sure the manual of arms is exactly the same between them. That quarter of a second your mind wastes deciding if there's a safety you need to turn off or not could be your last.
 
All my serious options are point and shoot, I agree with minimizing the amount of guns one carrys for concealed personal defense and would add that the way it is carried is probably as if not more critical but reality for me puts about 4 guns on my list.
P3AT, P11, anyone of a number of J frame, or 9 or 40 Glock.
Size, weight, and dress are the deciding factors.
 
I used to carry two different pistols due to the seasonal temperatures. Now I carry the same pistol year-round in a tuckable holster.

I have no problems concealing my M&P40c even on the hottest of days, I just have to pick the right clothing. I'll also point out that I always have my shirt tucked in, no t-shirts hanging down to my knees for me (that look might work for someone in their teens but not in their 30's)

So, my summer carry is the M&P40c just as my winter carry. However, I will say that on the colder months, I still prefer an OWB belt holster under a jacket.
