Full-Size EDC

[rjthebassman]

A thread for those as myself who pack a full-size as a daily carry. Pictures welcome and type of firearm, method of carry and interesting facts about carrying a full-size are appreciated. Thanks, and have fun!

Haven't been able to post a photo of mine, but a carry a Tanfoglio Witness P 9x19 in a Blackhawk! Sportster size 6 that I use as a iwb concealed carry. Which I have at a 3:30 position on myself at work as I post.

I prefer my serpa but will use shoulder rig if dressed for it.

Either a Regent 200 RS 1911 or a 4" S&W 686. Both in OWB gun leather (Tagua for the 1911 and a Galco for the Smith) and in the 4 O'clock position. Both holsters ride high and cant forward so I can throw a jacket or a long camp shirt over them if I need to go CCW, but most times they are OC or sloppy CC.

EDC'r of a full size here as well. M&P9 AIWB.

I'm a full-sized guy, so a full-sized carry just makes sense.

Glock 17 in a Serpa at 4pm. I tried to conceal once but I could never get the draw as quick as I'd like it to be. The Serpa is perfect because I'm the kind of guy who tucks in his t-shirt into his shorts while wearing sandals and socks.

Oh hell... Watch out for the INGO fashion police!!

I feel you on the sandals and socks lol. Never much into OC. Love the idea but not quite the hassle of " non-edumakatid" (inept) anti-gun people that turn up their nose like you're about to rob Wal-Mart or the "street educated" people that are actually trying to rob Wal-Mart and decide you're the first person they decide they're going to shoot because you're obviously armed.

when I'm not carrying my 27, and/or not worried about a little extra girth and weight on my belt, then I'll carry the full sized 22C in the same holster and same position...Galco horsehide IWB @ 4 o'clock.

people that are actually trying to rob Wal-Mart and decide you're the first person they decide they're going to shoot because you're obviously armed.

uh oh...

uh oh...

Holy ****!!! I bet all the OC'rs will change their tune when they see that. They've probably never heard that theory before...

I get where you're coming from with OC, but when it comes to people in general, in my experience, no one cares. Plus most don't go around looking at others waistlines anyway.

1911 carried IWB as a cross draw.

Sig P320 full size 9mm in a Safariland ALS 6378 here... at 8:30 (I shoot left-handed) with a Blackhawk! dual mag pouch on my right hip.

 

[snapping turtle]

If jacket weather I love a shoulder holster and 6 inch 586 smith or browning hi-power. EDC is 2 inch model 66 copy so a small full size piece. I used to drive all the time so the Miami vice style holster was great for me. Many do not think of them as cool or
practical but I dig them. For driving they are great.

 

[ModernGunner]

S&W 629 + 4 loaders. Hip or shoulder rig. Or...

FNP-45 + 2 mags. Hip or shoulder rig.

The other selections would be 'compact', in comparison. But, either hip or shoulder rig. And...

9mm or .45 BUG.

I totally looked at your picture as if you were wearing white pants and a charcoal shirt at first. I thought "wow, I've never seen somebody carry UDIWB." Upside Down Inside the Waist Band...hahaha

Full size 1911 in 10MM in one of my holsters all day everyday.

Ha! It's only upside down on mobile devices. I catered to the majority and rotated it to look correct on a PC. Mobile devices still read the orientation tags and flip it.
