Does your carry gun(s) vary with the season?

[CAT 1000B]

My carry guns are determined by where I'm going, not the time of year or weather.

 

[halfmileharry]

Yep, changes from a plain jane 1911 to a deep blue fancy 1911 depending on rain or snow coming down.

 

[buckstopshere]

Mine doesn't change with the season, just the destination.

I OC a G19 most days. If I'm going somewhere that requires discreet carry, I pack out my MP Shield 9 or LCP if I really need to be discreet.

 

[dans4420]

oh yes deffinetly no white guns after labor day.

 

[slategrey]

1921 in winter ruger lcr or smith shield 40 in summer

 

[cosermann]

I'm assuming those of us who carry bacon carry it year-round.

 

[snowwalker]

No, my carry gun does not change, but my ammo does.

 

[mk2ja]

No, my carry gun does not change, but my ammo does.

Interesting! Never thought of doing that. Can you explain what/how you change, and the reasoning behind it?

Some guys carry higher grain ammo in the winter, just to increase the chance of going thru thicker clothing, winter coats, etc.

Thought this might be an interesting topic for a poll.

Does your typical carry bun vary with the season?

For example, do you carry a full-size .45 in the winter, but a .380 pocket gun in the summer (that would be YES), or do you carry a mid-size 9mm year round (that would be NO).

Not to bust your chops but I carry a gun. I have found a "Bun" not to be effective in a self defense situation.......................

My EDC changes with wardrobe. This could be a seasonal thing.

 

[Classic]

Cooler weather-1911. In shorts and t-shirt weather-plastic 380. Easier to conceal and I don't like to sweat on "metal" guns.

 

[jmil]

Typically what I wear decides my gun choice however during hunting season I'll most always have my dan wesson 357 10 in barrel on my hip and very rarely get funny looks

Bacon


The reason for that choice, It may be part of the reason I have had to switch to something smaller this winter due to 21 pounds of weight gain since a heart attack last april and no longer smoking......This sucks, but being dead is worse I think.

Mine changes depending on if I'm going to Ruths Chris or Long John Silvers. If I'm going to Ruths Chris I wear my 1911 it is after all a sophisticated gun for a sophisticated man looking for a sophisticated dining experience. For Long John Silvers the Glock will do.

Open carry bacon year round. Bad guys don't even see it coming untill it's to late.

 

[billyboyr6]

Nope. Carry S&W snubby N frame in .45 acp all the time.

 

[jgreiner]

I said yes, but with a caveat. The only time I don't carry my 1911, is when I ride the motorcycle, then I carry the Model 66 .357 magnum with a thumb break retention holster.

Interesting....me personally, I always conceal carry bacon right in my belly

 

[tylerr23]

Fmk for around town (nice low crime rate town) Glock 17 for more criminalized towns

 

[cosermann]

Interesting that this is currently split EXACTLY evenly (not accounting for the bacon).
