What does everyone carry

[llh1956]

Your wife is probably right. 99.5% of people would not notice it unless it was taped to your forehead. 15% wouldn't notice it even if it was. A cop might know what to look for, but you might need to be doing something dumb to get him/her to look.

When I first started to carry, I was sure that everyone could see the gun no matter how hard I tried to conceal it. It took almost a decade for me to become absolutely comfortable with the idea that nobody cares enough to scrutinize the folds of my clothing.

I carry a full to mid-size pistol (P226 or P229) OWB under a jacket in the winter or an untucked shirt in the summer. Nobody notices.

Fully agree and I carry a few extra pounds that allows the carry piece to morph into my belly fat!

Anyone that has spent time at the mall, doing old people walking, know for a certainty that most people don't even realize there are other people present in the mall, much less what they may have under their shirt.

How do you rack that thing to get ”the sound” that deters ALL criminals?

It's the closing of the barrels that scares them off. Anyone in Delaware knows that sound.

I primarily carry a Shield 2.0 9mm. I’ll occasionally carry my CZ P10-C. I’m looking to upgrade my edc. There are a lot of good options. I’ll likely get a Shield Plus OR, but I also like the Hellcat Pro, p365 X and XL, and the shadow systems cr920.

I carry a Glock of some sort everyday. I have carried for 30+ years and long ago quit caring if I printed or if someone saw my pistol. My son started carrying his Glock 19 in the last year and got spotted by a Karen. His hoodie didn't quite cover it up all the way. The lady saw it and asked him "Do you know your carrying a gun?" He simply responded with a "yes, Ma'am" and went about his business. It cracked me up as well as the people behind the counter. This particular gas station is near the Branchville Training Center (aka Prison) and the people working there see people with guns all the time, so they don't care.

S&W Airweight 38. I figure if 5 rounds won't get me there I'm in BIG trouble

I've been told on INGO you're gonna die.

I can't believe anyone would be so irresponsible with their own safety to only carry 5 rounds! C'mon Man!
Seriously though. I enjoy carrying my S&W 340PD with .38 +p loads. It is so light I forget I have it on me.

Have been looking at some of the Sigs. I'm not a big guy so something a little smaller then the 19 would be little easier to conceal. I AIWB and I say it's noticeable but my wife says she never can tell if I'm carrying or not

If you want something a little smaller than a Glock 19, the Glock 26 would be a good option, especially with a pinky extension on the magazine. If you wan something thinner, I recommend the Glock 43X as that's thinner but has a 10 round magazine and you can get the aftermarket 15 round magazines for it! Great shooter and carry pistol the Glock 43X is...and now available with MOS.

Ditto this...I usually have a S&W 360J on my person, even if it's just in a coat pocket, jeans pocket, or on the ankle...as either primary or BUG!

IMO after Sig released the P365X macro, there is no longer any reason to carry a Glock 19, M&P or any other traditional double stack, 9 mm. The Sig is simply smaller, thinner and holds more rounds.

 

[Colt556]

Most of the time a CZ P01, occasionally an HK P7 or LW Commander in 38 Super. Picked up a P07 that seems very nice so it might get worked into the rotation.

Oh, and a NAA 22 Mag in my pocket.

 

[gregkl]

I carry myself proudly!

 

[cosermann]

Currently carry a glock 19 but looking to maybe venture out. Have shot the S&W M&P and enjoyed those but looking for other ideas.

OP, a more fruitful thread would be a discussion of why you're thinking to "venture out," how you use/plan to use what you carry, your level of training, etc. Otherwise, a thread containing a list of what people carry - without any context - isn't all that helpful.

 

[Sigblitz]

I Mexican carry a long stick and plan to venture out and discover my special purpose.

Still hurts, does it? It's been a while. Maybe you should get that checked out.

I don't carry a revolver. Don't hurt me at all.

 

[Magyars]

Depending on circumstances I switch it up...but the one thing that is constant is carry location. OWB just behind my hip bone, 3-4 O'clock

 

[GregD]

Mostly a CZ PCR

 

[VERT]

I would recommend a Glock 19
