Concealed Carry Firearms (Food for thought)

SapperSaint · 03-31-2016, 01:40 PM

Sorry guys and gals; I have been transitioning into a new job in my military career. So excuse me for not posting as often as I should.

Anyway

I have gotten my CCW permit and wanted to talk with those of you who also conceal carry. What firearm do you carry? What hoslter; IWB or OWB? and why?

I've done a lot of looking into what I want to carry. I have shot a lot of pistols to decide what best fits me and for the situation I find myself carrying. I am a Glock fan (No, not a Glock NUTJOB, a fan). I have used the G21 .45ACP when I was a LEO. Loved it. Now, I own a G19 .9mm, G26 .9mm "Baby Glock", a G22 .40, G42 .380, HK USP Compact .40 and a S&W M&P Bodyguard .380 no laser. Almost for my North American Arms .22LR pocket revolver (BEAUTIFUL piece of craftsmanship).

Now, What are my EDC (Every Day Carry)?

Mainly, it fluctuates between G26, G42 and M&M Bodyguard. G19 for open carry/covered by t-shirt.

Why, you may ask?

Well I will give you some quick hitters.

M&P BG .380: Single stack 6 rounds. The darn thing disappears in your pocket with a blackhawk pocket sleeve. It's just so thin and I can shoot the breaks off of it. I carry APEX Inceptor and Hornady American Defense rounds. Youtube the .380 Inceptor round and you will see why I use it. Yes, I will bet my life on that little .380 round. It does have an external safety, if you like that.

G42: Single stack 7 rounds. Slightly bigger than the M&P. It will conceal in your pocket. However, not as smoothly as the M&P. Prefer to carry it IWB (Inside the Waist Band). Use the same ammo as the M&P. Difference between the two manufacturers? I could shoot the Glock all day long. Accurate is an understatement. Very tight grouping and un-noticable recoil. To me, it's perfect.

G26: Little more firepower, 10 rounds of 9MM. Use the same ammo as above only in 9mm. It is small enough for me to carry it in a OWB (Outside the Waist Band) holster and still not have it bring unwanted notice from the general public. Same accuracy as any other Glock. It can also useG19 and G17 mags.

G19: I have customized this pistol too much, not to use it. 3lbs trigger, new guide rod, Trigicon night sights, etc etc. It is just so smooth and easy to shoot. Plus I can use G17 (FULL-SIZE 9MM) mags. Out of all my pistols this is the best one I am most accurate and fast with.

What do you guys and gals carry?
