Top 5-10 carry guns?

Concealed Or Open?

For the last nine years my Glock 36 has been my concealed carry gun and here in Wisconsin I also open carry it (past 4 years).

I don't think it matters what you carry openly as long as you are proficient with it. Concealed is a completely different matter. I went through four or five handguns before I settled on the Glock 36 for concealed carry. And, the holster MUST be able to hold it snugly against your body under the clothing you are wearing so it doesn't "stick out" or "print" otherwise you will be very uncomfortable wearing a concealed gun.

The holster is just as important as the gun for concealed carry. I have a Bianchi number 5 (IIRC) for concealed carry for my Glock 36.

I don't leave home without my snubbie. The small gun you carry is better than the big one you left at home 'cause it's too uncomfortable. That being said, I buy into the 'it's not supposed to be comfortable, but comforting'...

Carry on.

Agreed, and this one of the reasons why I feel comfortable carrying a snubby .357!....

Hell, just the noise from that .357 will kill someone, won't it? :shocker:

If you're going to "stock" holsters, don't forget that about 1/4 -1/3 of your customers will be left-handed.

Something I was curious about. Is the hardware for the belts going to be one size or can they be ordered to fit?

I have a Glock 19 and 26. For my open carry holster I use a Blackhawk! and for concealed carry I am trying out a belly band and an UnderTech under cover concealment shirt. I'm really planning on open carrying most of the time but haven't figured out what to do about it in winter.

i HAVE A GLOCK34, it's about 1" longer than a glock17 , so as long as the holster is open ended, it's good to go.

we are all fogetting about small revolvers like 38 special snub noses / 357's & Ruger sp-101's and such..... if you need more than 5 or 6 shots your up $hit creek anyways....

I just pick up an inside the pants Holster for my 38 spl snub noses Wednesday, I'll be wearing it around the old home stead till I get the feel for it.. I would like too get my Hands on a 38 Police spl .

They are standard, but I can get smaller or narrower clips if you prefer.

since no one else had mentioned the Ruger LCR and the LC9 I will.

The LC9 is on the list... because I own one.

My south paw friends are always a consideration! In fact, one of my first holsters was for a leftie.

It's a nice little carry gun. It's simply expensive compared to others size, and weight. It has a following though

I've read very, um, "mixed" opinions about the p250, so maybe others have too. In particular, the people who hate the trigger sound like they're talking about a Sigma.

I'd say about 3% of my orders are for lefties. Maybe I hang around a better class of people :lol: Or WORSE

1911's of all sizes, mostly without rails. SIG and Taurus won't fit, with or without rail, at least with tight molding.

Surprised no mention of Sigs - P228, P229 (w & w/o rail) P239 (9 will fit 40, 40 will not fit 9) P250 Compact (be very wary of the rail change, new won't fit in old) P238

Glocks 19/23 & 26/27 mostly

Lots of people mentioning XD's and I do some, but not as many as I would expect.

Kahr PM9 and P/K 9
