I feel like I’ve known a handful of you guys for years now and I can’t help wondering...if you care to share- what is everyone carrying these days?

I’ll start- I mostly ccw a Gen3 Glock 19 in a Foxx IWB holster with 124-gr+P Rem Golden saber JHPs and in the summertime a S&W 442 Airweight in a Bianchi leather IWB with the old FBI load, Federal 158-gr+P SWCLHP.

Glock 22 converted to 357 Sig mostly
124 JHP pushed along at 1500 fps or so.
Don't get many reloads out my brass for some reason.:uhoh:

A SW Shield 9mm for quiet and discreet carry, mostly in the little zippered case inside my notebook.
Public places are getting a little rough now a days.:sad:

Smith & Wesson M&P 340 with Hornady Critical Defense 110gr +P .38s. Somewhere around 15oz or so loaded. I’m using Galco IWB, Bianchi OWB, and DeSantis pocket carry depending on conditions & circumstances.

I guess I’m older school than you older fools, but if that can’t get me out of a jam and to a rifle, I should’ve just brought the rifle.

Either a Glock 19 (3rd gen) or S&W Shield .45. Depends on circumstances and mood. Both are loaded with Hydra-Shoks.

In "certain situations", I'll slip my Sterling Arms .22 pocket pistol into, what else, my pocket. Better than nothing.

What I carry depends on the pants.
If I can, I wear these:

And a S&W 3913 9mm fits perfectly.
(Would rather carry my .45ACP Glock 21SF, which also fits perfectly , but the pants have no “hard” trigger cover, so if I carry the Glock, can’t have a round in the chamber.
3913 de-cocking lever resolves that issue.

if I am wearing pants/shorts w/ normal pockets, a S&W 340PD .357mag., in a pocket holster.

I used to be a 1911 guy. Either a full size 10mm, or a 4" short grip .45 IWB at 5:00 in a KingTuk. About a year or two ago, when the mob style attacks started to happen, I started to think that I may not be defending/ evading just one attacker, but maybe an entire group. So now my primary is a Glock 29 in a Cozy Partner AIWB, or a FNX-45 in a custom T5 Sidecar AIWB. Both are carried with at least one extra 15 rnd mag on my person, and another in my vehicle.


Coming from 5:00 IWB, it was shocking how comfortable and concealable that (huge) FNX-45 is when AIWB in a well designed custom rig with a 'claw' and 'wedge'. It disappears under a draped shirt. The "wedge" on the Sidecar does get a bit irritating when seated for hours at a time, but the smaller G29 in the cozy partner is all day comfy either standing or driving. No worry of printing when bending over either.



The G29 is the powerhouse, but the FNX is much softer/ faster/ easier shooting.

10mm is Buffalo Bore 180 gr JHP at 1350 fps (1230-1240 fps actual out of the shorter G29 barrel)
.45 is 230 gr 875 fps Golden Sabers
