What size pistol do you OC?

[Lebowski]

To those of you who OC, what size pistol do you carry? Do you carry a full-sized pistol, or like your IWB-carrying friends find comfort in smaller, lighter pistols? I only ask because I OC around the house sometimes and find OCing my little Karh CM9 to be much more enjoyable than OCing my heavy S&W 4566. Both have great holsters designed for each pistol specifically, though the size and weight difference between the two is quite noticable. Both are easily concealable (though the Smith is my cold weather carry and requires a jacket or coat for optimal concealment), and even though I don't OC I may rock a OWB holster with a jacket/coat open over it that hides it from view in most scenarios.

Anyhow, just curious if people actually OC small pocket pistols or if it's "go big or go home" when it comes to your daily OC piece. I can see the benefit in carrying large and carrying small, just curious what others do and why.

I started off OCing a 1911, but now I carry the xdm 3.8 compact with extension the majority of the time.

 

[Gluemanz28]

M&P Shield in 40

 

[cbhausen]

Full size Sig P320 with a double magazine pouch on the opposite side every day for me. I'm so used to it not carrying is more uncomfortable than carrying.

 

[Vince49]

Subcompact

Glock 30.

PS: I carry this one not because of it's size (or caliber) but because it is the one I seem to be most accurate with. If and when I shoot something else better I will carry that one.

 

[ITPMONGO]

Glock 41.

Well she certainly claims it belongs to her anyway.

 

[sig-guy]

A Glock 6

 

[Kaigar]

Ruger P95.

 

[rgrimm01]

M&P 9 fs. With a good belt, I really do not notice any weight. I carry at 3:00-4:00. What I really hate is grating the leather on the seatbelt latch when I am in the vehicle.

 

[wtburnette]

I usually CC a Shield 9mm, but on the occasion I OC, it's either my G19 or when I get a holster for it, my M&P 45c.

 

[yote hunter]

Glock 23 because I shoot it better them my glock 22, nothing to do with the size... I believe most will carry what they shoot the best more so then the size or at least they should anyways ???

 

[churchmouse]

Full size 1911 CC/OC. I am just comfortable with that platform.

 

[Mark 1911]

4- inch 1911.

 

[Peter McM]

Full size Sig P250; I have a Rossi DA .357 snubbie that hides better under a shirt.

 

[Indynic]

S&W 629 44 Mag, 5" Barrel, Full Underlug. I think a quality holster goes a long way. It feels no different to me than carrying my XDm compact.

Is the snubby scared.....

 

[Expat]

For OC occasions I have a stainless Colt Series 70 gubmint model with the rosewood grips in a Galco Fletch brown leather holster.

when I do open carry off duty I still carry my personal Sig 229. and that's normally in a kydex holster with thumb break.
