Equalizer. 3 OWB or 4IWB, depending on what I am wearing.

Added a new one recently: Shield Plus.

Am I the only one still carrying a Springfield XDS 45?

I guess I don't know what I'm missing.

Shield Plus with red dot is my normal CC. Model 60 is what I carry for special occasions because it fits in my slacks pocket (in a sticky holster)

I think I'm finally stuck on my Hellcat with 15rd mag and Wasp optic

I'm in my vehicle for 10+ hours a day so it spends most of its time in my cup holder. For the times I'm out of my truck, I have a nice leather holster for it. OWB@ 9oclock cause I'm a chubby lefty

I've been torn on getting a Hellcat. I have the Pro which I really enjoy but if I'm honest with myself, I don't/wont wear it everyday. There was a deal the other day for the base Hellcat non OR with bag and five 13 round magazines for $400.

It's still on my mind…. Got caught in a RIF unfortunately though and extremely hard to justify right now for something I have the big brother of and its main competitor size wise.

Still thinking though…

Shield .40 IWB @ 4 o'clock

Occasionally a KelTec P3AT .380 in my pocket

A holster I ordered from Craft Holsters.

Loving my Canik METE MC9

Smith and Wesson 642 air weight appendix carry most days primarily because I'm in scrubs. Anything heavier and it's a struggle to keep them from falling down. Had some nice ones with a belt but got too fat lol.
Planning on going back to my g43x though.
Owb during the winter is a sig p365.

Sig P239 in a couple of different holsters or a S&W Airweight(can't think of the model) in a pocket holster.

The P239 is for me the best small handgun that there is. And I much prefer the DA/SA over striker.

S&W 642 Airweight.

Very light, hammerless revolver, laser grip.

I hate to shoot it, but it is really small and light. Don't have to worry about a hammer catching. But that's why the recoil sucks. Good for a close quarters shot.

I have that same holster. I like it.

Sig p365X green dot in Garrett holster. Left handed so 9 o'clock

Either a M&P9c or M&P Shield (1.0) both in AIWB sidecar style holsters.

P30SK and sometimes a VP9SK. Today though it's a USPC40.

---

Which holster do you use for the VP9SK?

---

I have a DeSantis Speed Scabbard for the VP9sk I'll sell you if interested.

Brand new, never used/worn.

P365x IWB at 3oclock. Winter is no problem but summer usually have to wear fishing shirts due to body type or pocket carry

For scrubs check out SmartCarry

G42 with Clipdraw no holster. Going on 8 yrs.

Eh, sorry but not for me. I am an exclusive IWB user.

Stay away from the Walther CCP. I bought one for Mrs. Ledbetter in 9mm. It jams every other shot or so. I sent it back to Walther and they claimed they fixed the problem. On getting it back, it's just as thoroughly unreliable as before. It's my most regrettable gun purchase.

Do you just like it? I'm curious why you are IWB exclusively?

I am as well. For deep concealment and carrying in non-permissive environments.

Only exception to that is the VNSH belly band that I sometimes use but that has a specific purpose.

Just moved from 365 to 365XMacro. Love it!

Having been a patrol officer for 20yrs and used to the idea of EVERYONE knowing I'm carrying, I'm flirting with the idea of just saying screw it and going open carry some days.

I cannot pull off an OWB and remain concealed consistently. I have a really long torso/low hips which no one notices since I am short. But it means shirts don't cover my belt fully whenever I move or bend over or sit down. Most people don't notice a belt clip from an IWB. No way that happens with OWB.

I hate my body type so much. It's basically a Hank Hill build with less gut but much shorter. It really limits my carry options. I just don't have a lot of real estate in my hip/groin area. For example, a G19 size compact in an AIWB will literally overlap the beginning of my dick by about a quarter inch. Which as you can imagine, is not very comfortable.

I have similar issues. Few things. I buy long shirts. I found hipsters that ride high. I am using a PLSTER enigma that I really like currently.

Also, pull your pants up!

Fair enough. Glad to see you've tried OWB and have a legit reason for maintaining IWB. So many folks are scared of OWB because it "cAn Be SeEn So EaSiLy."

Glad you're not stuck there.

Interesting to see the 365Xmacro so popular here. Sig's make good firearms. What has been the biggest attractor? I'm going to assume the high capacity? Also read that it has a very good trigger, but would assume that has minimal bearing. I'm in the market for a new CCW, so curious.....

Capacity for size, serviceable trigger, available with manual safety, already setup with the correct footprint for the most popular dots for a small CCW pistol....

The one that sets it apart from other slim design like the hellcat, IMO, is the whole serialized fire control unit and relatively cheap frames. I mostly carry a 365XL and have no issues concealing it AIWB under a t shirt, but like that I can get a shorter grip and 10rd mags, or now go with a longer frame, and I have 17rd mags for reloads or carry with any of the frames.

Thanks for the feedback. I've heard some comment trigger doesn't have much of a wall so lacks some feel, but I wouldn't care about that. I like deliberate trigger pulls. Didn't know about the shorter grip. If its comfortable I'd probably carry this configuration more often than not.

Phlster Enigma would work well for scrubs.

New to this forum. Hunted Texas for years but never CCW. About to hit the road and want to make sure I am safe. What is the best way to detrmine what is best for me?

1. Practice

2. Try as many as you can.

There is definitely creep to the trigger, it does have a nice positive reset. With the one I have, if you cannot shoot it well, it's not the gun's fault.

There are a lot of possible combos now. I think if you get a P365 XL from the start, you can use it with the 365 frame and 10rd mags and I know you can use it with the macro frame and 17rd mags. I am between medium and large gloves and my pinky does not hang off the end of the XL size grip.

Hey let's make pistols smaller and smaller so they are easier to carry. Cool, now they are tiny. OK now let's make them bigger again. Right, sounds good. Such a strange arc to watch play out...
