EDC: Full size or Compact?

[AppleSeeds]

What do you carry? Do you change from winter to summer?

 

[Dirtypacman]

Slim build and daily uniform make it easier with a compact. During the summer or other times when waistband is not always an option I go with a little snub revolver.

 

[AppleSeeds]

Thanks for the reply. I had wanted to create a poll but wasn't able to, maybe only green members can do that?

all depends on the day and weather i have to work that day or not... full size M&P9, in either iwb or owb or if a lazy day LCR, iwb owb or pocket now if i can get my job to change their policy so people can store in their car would be full size all the time most likely...

as it is for fun i wear my empty holsters at work.. gotta keep them guessing =P love it when some new holier then thou new HR lib tells me it is against policy to have/wear an empty holster at work. and then make them go find me the policy with the promise of removing it if they can find it... needless to say, 0 times have i removed the holster(s) i really need to pick up a couple of those blue trainers and let the head of security and my direct boss's know about it... gotta break in and get used to the weight of those holsters and make sure i like them somehow =)

I do not change my carry from season to season. For myself I find that I need to be consistent with the firearm I carry and the way I carry it, practice often. YMMV

i alternate between a HK P30 and a glock 19. this is stupid as they are completely different guns which shoot differently.

hilariously i shoot best with my 1911 but never carry that. i did just cut up the serpa i have for it, i'm modding it to fit my hi-power.

 

[Rugerfan]

Snubby. Same pocket. All of the time. Shoot it often. Draw it often. I know the gun and how to hit what I am aiming at. These are the most important things.

 

[Palladin]

summer 442, pocket
winter G33, either pocket or belt carry

 

[BattleSnail]

compact for me....need to wear a tucked in button down shirt at the office so it has to work with a tuckable IWB. Weekends I may still carry compact or if the mood strikes go with something bigger.

 

[Rotaryrocket]

Winter I OWB my fullsize 1911. Summer IWB. My sr9c. I shoot both ALOT. I feel comfortable with both

 

[PaulR]

Compact.

Summer Sig Saur P238
Winter S&W Shield

 

[Queen Bee]

Compact 19 though im debating putting it up for trade for a compact glock 30sf

 

[sweed]

Sr9c with standard capacity sr9 17 round magazines.
going to eventually get a 227 with 13 round mag, but I'll also like to have a pocket gun.

 

[Srboostjunkie]

G19 everyday unless I'm wearing sweats or basketball shorts then it's my bg380

 

[Twigg]

"Casual carry" 1911 gubbermint OWB.

Smaller guns inna pocket when discretion beckons.

 

[DemonChronicles]

I don't switch based on season. M&P Compact, tall & thin build so an IWB does the trick for me regardless of weather or season.

 

[Nectaris]

Walther PPS iwb for me, I work in an office so need to keep it covered while wearing business casual.

 

[ProGun]

Carry my Glock 27 most days, but like to pocket carry my Ruger LCP on warm days.

I sometimes carry the LCP in a remora when I want to travel a bit lighter. Have a J-frame, but haven't carried it much since I bought the LCP.

I'm 5'10 225 and a general contractor so when I'm working I have a snub on my ankle. Other than that G19 or G36 IWB/OWB depending on what I'm wearing for a shirt.

 

[NorthShore]

Snubbie while wearing (sweatpants or mesh shorts) and 9c or 40c the rest of the time.

 

[boxerjake77]

Same compact carry gun for every season.

 

[CobaltBlueSteel]

Subcompact - PM9: rain or shine, hot or cold.

 

[AM13]

shield 9, I've tried carrying something bigger just didn't like it to bulky but that's just me, I love how slim the shield is

 

[slap shot]

SR9c IWB, but probably switching to G19 (also IWB) once i get more range time with it. Neither of these has ever had a failure of any kind.

 

[AllaSnackbah]

G17 or G19 always, sometimes in the summer ill carry a G26 in shorts pocket

 

[Trackrat]

G19, G26 or a Shield depending on where I'm going and what I'm wearing. All IWB.

 

[Enzo]

My carry does change with the seasons and I love the full size, like my P226 but....you really feel the difference after carrying a Shield all summer long.

I'm in construction too and was thinking going ankle instead of pocket , (cause I roll around on the ground alot) but was thinking too awkward to draw from there when needed ? What do you think ?

As an electrician I carry my P238 in the kangaroo carry holster. I wear a white T then the holster then my work shirt. Bad side of it is you can sweat through it so nightly cleanings is a must.

All seasons = glock 26. What I'm wearing and the weather only changes how big of a magazine is in it. ( 10, 15, ,17, or 23 )
