Cool Weather Carry

[Alpha-17]

Cool weather (and thus a jacket or hoodie) sees me switch from my P320-M18 to my P320-M17. Adventurous, I know. Occasionally I'll spice it up and carry my 1911.

There may be better offerings now, but Bladetech had an IWB for the CZ75 that concealed very well under a t-shirt. Assuming sticking a Tier 1 wedge on those Bladetechs would improve their concealabilty too.

I have become pretty boring since my 357sig adventure came together. I either carry the big gun a Glock 35 with a 6inch 357sig barrel or a Glock 32

If the weather means winter jacket, then I switch to a shoulder holster if I am just running around doing my honey do list, which maybe dates me, maybe. But I have found that sitting in the jeep with a heavy winter jacket and seat belted it is easier to get it out.

YMMV, you do you.

I only change as needed.

My standard carry has been a P226. If I have to go very discrete I use a HK P7. If I have to go back pocket discrete I use a KelTec P11. A year ago I did rotator cuff surgery which made a strong side draw painful and not 100% reliable so I started cross drawing from a shoulder holster and since I wasn't as reliable doing mag changes for a time I went 9mm to .45 with a HK45. But things are mostly back to normal and I'm back to the P226 for most things.

Glock 19 is as small as I go, usually a 17 AIWB under my untucked patterned loose fit shirt in the FL heat.

I have to switch from a 43X/19 in the deep winter to a G17, AS its always glove weather in the northeast from January to end of February. I would love to carry the G43x all season, but I tried winter carrying the shorter grips with thick winter gloves, they got clogged up in the slide from the gloves and malfunctioned.

I carried a 92X Centurion most of this past summer. I may carry it more often once I learn to shoot it with the RDO on it to my satisfaction.

Tried out a 96A1 but I'm not planning to keep it.

Currently carrying a PX4 .45 which I really like. Gen 2 200 gr Silvertips recoil mildly.

I do love the grab and go of a pistol and two mags aspect of the shoulder holster, however here in AZ I wear a jacket like 3 days per year. My shoulder holster gathers dust mostly.

I've gotten boring in my old age, I just carry a G19 year round, usually with 2 extra mags. I generally just OWB with an untucked shirt. Once in a blue moon I'll go with a 1911, but my lower back is thrashed enough the extra weight gets tiresome.

Yoni and Mark point out two of the very few uses for a shoulder holster I've found: great access into a very heavy coat and/or while driving, and a great way to throw on a second gun & mags.

I have a nice Ted Blocker horizontal rig, but only use it once in a while.
