That was good, not as good as when Hitler found out the price of the ACR but it hit on the pulse of the matter. :lol:

The Hitler clip is always good to discuss gun questions--like why did his brownells mag order not get processed, or if he will be able to live with himself taking an AR pistol with a sig brace to a class.

Seriously though, releasing the .380 first, getting a load of people to buy it, then releasing the 9mm and getting the same people to buy again is seeming to work fairly well.

I just have no use for a six shot GLOCK, if I wanted a six shot 9mm I'd just get the new Ruger LCR (5456) double-action revolver in 9mm. My G19 is not going to be replaced anytime soon for CCW use.

But I see how the market will eat this up.

How in the hell, especially in Texas, do you CCW a G19 in the summer?

Its March here in FL and I am wearing basketball shorts and a t-shirt begging for the G43.

AIWB with Tru-Spec 24/7 cargo shorts. Even have a mag pocket inside the cargos to conceal a G19 mag.

Nope, not possible. You must not realize the High Bore Axis of Sig pistols make them "unshootable". :)

You need to get yourself a linen suit and a shoulder holster.

And a boat. With your own pet alligator guard dog.

Pretty easily. Success varies by lifestyle choices and dedication to the task.

I often conceal a G19 here in Texas in the summer.

It is not that hard.

Using a Raven Phantom and a good belt...I can hide it pretty well while wearing a loose fitting untucked short sleeve button down shirt. Wearing jeans or shorts and using a good belt. That is OWB and I can still hide it. Did similar carry with a P228 SIG and a Colt Comander as well.

Nope...you cannot hide a G19 with a tight fitting t-shirt or those loosey goosey shorts that go past your knees and look like capri pants. You WILL have to choose your clothes but yes..you can wear hot weather clothes and hide a G19.

I am 5ft 9in and 168 pounds and I can hide these guns....so can you. LOL

I'm here in South Florida also, 6' 1 1/2" , 218-227lbs (weight goes up and down week to week :D ). I've been carrying a G19 since 2007. Basically medium to dark color t-shirts. everything from close, normal to loose fitting polo shirts ,my preference is for the plethora of underarmor type material polo's and Core T's that abound at Target, Walmart etc. Even the blacks and navy blues are cooler than a white cotton T to me because of the material. Generally with jeans , cargo pants. Shirts untucked. No printing to be found. When I have to dress with a tucked shirt as at work, I carry a G26 in an ankle holster (shorts not allowed at the office for office personnel). Carry at 2 to 4:30 depending in a Galco King Tuck, Galco Kydex and a High Noon (modified by me) IWB holster(s).

That said, I, 2 weeks ago signed up at my LGS to receive the first G43 they get. More options the better .

G19, spare 17-round mag, 642, speedstrip reload, fixed blade knife, cell phone, wallet, money clip, Surefire light.

That is winter or summer. Winter just gets an additional J-frame in the outside coat pocket.
