What Gun Do You OC?

.....just wondering if most of you carried semis are revolvers and what calibers?

Depends on which week you ask the question.

That's pretty cute. On what occasions and with what kind of outfit?

I'd do big frames in blue jeans to events where I specifically wanted it to be noticed and/or was using it in competition.

Small frames in other realms.

Shiny in some, subdued in others.

Belt in some, shoulder in others - same for ankle, thigh, belly and back. Holsters are important accessories. They make the same gun more versatile.

What rigs do y'all have for different occasions? Business casual events, formal events, kid events, gardening, etc?

Does anyone own only one rig and carry the same rig for every occasion? If so, how do you best work it out and are you considering other additions to the wardrobe?

Other than making sure the gun wasn't concealed when out and about, i haven't really thought about "looks" and "matching" when carrying. So far, the black gun and holster seems to go with everything I own.

99% of the time I wear dark to light blue jeans, black or white shirt with a dark or light colored unbuttoned over shirt and a pair of red/black DC's, sometimes a black beanie in the winter. Not alot of options when you're 6'4" 350lbs.

I currently only have one rig and carry piece, when I get my CCW, i'll probably get a shoulder rig and carry and wear it under a overshirt.

From reading this thread, my response appears to be unique.

...and male - and I must say, not much of a target, either. 6'4 and 350 lbs isn't exactly the prime profile for the bad guys.

Women don't have that advantage, so we need a lot more options - particularly those of us in states w/o oc.

If you guys ever find yourself in need of a carry solution for a specific circumstance, consult an experienced woman. She won't let you down.

As a sidenote: I've seen some guys running around sporting 454 Casulls and/or equivalents, and it's a huge turn-off. Girls know exactly why he made that choice, and it wasn't with defense in mind. If you have a buddy like that, slap him for me.

But this week, I just landed a brand new S&W .45 model 4566 from the Kentucky State Police. It was suppose to be issued to badge #298 as evidenced by the special serial number, but it never made it into service. I am carrying it now, until I buy another new toy. :lol:

That's a nice looking handgun. How does it carry/shoot?

Obviously, that is a staged event. In a real life event such as such, I would hope a person would know to turn to their right very quickly and deck the bad guy with his left fist. God help a stupid friend if he is dumb enough to attempt this stunt onme without my knowing, he will most likely end up with a black eye or broken nose at best.

A Springfield Armory M1911 A1, .45 ACP in a Serpa Blackhawk holster.
Simply because it is the gun I am most familiar, and most proficient with.
