Newarcher Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 After coming close to getting caught up in two separate robberies.... Kimber CDP Ultra 1911 cocked and locked with a spare magazine at about 3:30-4:00 depending on what I am wearing. and A Smith and Wesson Chief's special .38 special as a back up gun in my front left front pocket in a pocket holster. I put the back up gun on my off side (I am right handed) so that in the event I can't roll over and get to my bug I can still reach something. Plus I am right handed so in the event of hand to hand combat, my right hand might be busy fighting. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I usually carry my Beretta 92 in 9mm and an extra 17 shot magazine. I load a 147 grain Hydrashock (they will get caught in a vest) up first then rotate 124 grain RWS FMJ's (they will penetrate a light vest) in case the Hydrashocks don't seem to be doing the job. I wear 511 tactical gear to hide it. They are casual clothes and look normal. I carry my "Bible" sometimes too. It has my SIG P220 (45ACP) in it and an extra magazine and my wallet and cell phone. I sometimes carry the SIG P220 or my P226 in a holster too. I gave up carrying hideout guns a long time ago because with a little effort you can hide a full size pistol and that extends your effective range to at least 50 meters. With some practice you can hit with some success out to 200 meters on a calm day. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrich Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Springfield XD Compact in .45 ACP, carried IWB in a Comp-tac Minotaur. Looking for something a little slimmer/lighter for summer time but can't make up my mind on what to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledrop Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 actually thats something that I currently do not do, But it is something that I am going to do. My Grandpa always said he quit carrying weapons when he found out he could kill a man with his own two hands.........that is one of the many things that he has told me that I will never forget.

NS whitetail Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Concealed carry is illegal here. It is illegal in all of Canada to carry. I feel that here where I live, I have no need to carry anyway, however if I lived in one of the bigger cities in Canada, I would probably feel different.

The Bug House Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 My hip heater nowadays is a Beretta 9000S in the 9mm. I made a holster from sheets of Kydex I bought off the internet. here's where i get scoffed.... i keep a beretta 22 auto with cci stingers. it's small, light, and fast. a little hole hitting good beats a magnum miss. i never intend to use it unless i feel my life is in danger. i'll simply hand them what they want and keep looking in their eyes. I carried a Taurus PT-22 (Bobcat knockoff) in a pocket holster for quite a while, but the HP's don't cycle to well in the cheapo Taurus.
