Who Carries Full-Size Fat Guns?

[New_comer]

I'm 5'6" 200 lbs. Yes, I eat a lot and I gain weight.

And when I have to, I carry a full size HK USP9 in a size 5 Uncle Mike's IWB suede holster at 5 o'clock position.

Never cared for the "Fat" guns - - -

- - -Unless you count the Browning High Power in that group. The handle IS fairly large, though the upper half is slim-n-trim. I carry one occasionally, just for a change of pace.

In days of yore, I used to get a wild hair and stick an old (ac-40) P38 in my waistband. A few hours of THAT though, would get it out of my system. It always amazed me how an 8+1 pistol could need such a broad slide. And that sharp edged safety/ decocking lever just made it worse.

At least, you guys with the Berettas and Taurii have the high capacity to go with the broad slide.

My daily carry, though, is still a Commander . . . .

Best,
Johnny

My friend carries a full suze USP .45 IWB, kydex. I dunno how he does it...with a flimsy belt from Structure.

He's 5'6" about 160lbs.

 

[BerettaNut92]

Jesse, maybe I can outdo him at 5'5", 120 lbs and do a Mk23?

Well, I'm a "full size fat guy", so a "full size fat gun" fits. M1911A1.

6' 3" 255, no hair.

Soon to be...

... a Glock G20 and a Bertta 96 Brigadier Inox.

These will be tried out for the CCW battery of pistols. On a continuing basis, the S&W 1066 is my current daily CCW. Maybe not full sized enough to qualify, but a friend recently asked why I felt I needed to use such a boat anchor for a CCW piece.

My winter carry piece. Full size Taurus PT100 AFS .40 cal riding in a Galco Belt holster. Have gotten too fat to wear it IWB anymore.

In TX, I saw some guys open carry .44Mag's by the Alamo... them's big guns!

I guess everything is just bigger in TX...

 

[coonan357]

I don't carry, but I know some folks who do (mostly police).
The shortest guy is about 5'4", 180 and I believe he has a P226 and a P239 on his permit. The next size up is an ABC that is about 5'7" and maybe 140 (relatively similar in build to you), I'm positive that when carrying, he's got a P226. A friend of a friend picked up a P230 for a backup, and is probably going to be carrying an XD40 as well.

Another guy I used to know lived in a crappy section of Oakland, was about 5'6" and 135lbs, he carried a G27. I suspect he didn't have a carry permit.
