I know there are other threads on the site about what people carry but,lets start from scratch.

I carry a Springfield Armory XD Compact Bi-Tone 45 ACPEquiped with the xs nighters on her everyday,and night.Alongwith either a Taurus Millennium PT1119mm Luger or a Rossi M971 .357 MAG as my back-up banger. And I also have a CRKT Triumpth N.E.C.K knife in a pocket somewhere on my person.

For some reason I can't get pics I just took to upload, but I carry a P220 in a Safariland 6280 on a Raine belt. I use a GI 1911 mag pouch from the Vietnam era, but with the Alice clips removed and the stitching from the center removed so it can be secured to the belt in a sideways manner. I have a nice leather Galls pouch, but I prefer the GI version.

I would also still carry a large knife as a backup weapon and as a tool if I was still in a free state, but it's not a legal thing to do in Michigan at this time. :X

Ah, but there is a clause that says if it can be used for hunting or fishing, you can carry it. I carry a relatively large buck knife occasionally in a sheath on my belt. It's a non-folding knife, with a blade about 4 1/2 inches long. Local ordinances probably prohibit possession occasionally, but I've never been approached about it, even when I go in for a bar burger.

I have always like those little keltechs and have heard nothing but good from those that have them!!

Yeah, it's a pretty good gun so far. The price is great, and when I CC, it fits nicely into my pocket or my side holster.

I don't like to OC it because it's such a small gun. For some reason I have this belief that it's less intimidating to a would-be criminal. When I OC, I OC the .22 and have my .380 in my pocket because the .22 revolver would be very difficult to determine the caliber and a lot more of the gun shows.

Plus, if anyone ever tried to grab my OC gun, I would be able to get my .380 on them rather quickly. (Hope to hell this never happens, and if a LEO does it... sigh...)

Sorry... I went bit off topic. Start a new thread if ya wanna discuss my off topic stuff ;p
