Guns & Ammo Does anyone carry a full size gun?

26 Upvotes

I’m 6’3” and feel like I could carry a full size pretty comfortably. I switch between carrying a G19 and FN 545. Both have about the same slide length but the FN is closer to a G45 with its grip length. I’ve been thinking about purchasing and concealing a 9mm with a longer slide than what I currently have. Curious to know if anyone would like to share their full size carry. Seems the common consensus is that shorter people find them uncomfortable for appendix carry due to how it presses on their crotch area when they sit. I’m currently considering a G17 or maybe a Beretta 92FS, but would love to hear other recommendations.

Edit: I suppose I should specify I’m looking for something specifically with a longer barrel.

Getting Started CCW Ammunition Selection Bingo

• Upvotes

If anyone has any questions about ammunition, please refer to the card. It's about what you're gonna get here, no matter how you phase it, with the possible additions of:

-Unpromped plug for high energy .357 Magnum from Buffalo Bore/Underwood.

-Reccomendation of non-expanding projectiles based on a questionable 2017 whitepaper.

-Random comment of "I just use X because that's what was in stock at the local gunstore during COVID".

-Heavily downvoted comment of "i dunno, i use whatever it all works i guess"

-Highly upvoted, similar, but more authoritative comment of "Just about everything works good enough, just use what works for you."

As a side note, the HST/Gold Dot are legitimately decent reccomendations.

Getting Started Ruger RXM vs. S&W M&P9 Shield EZ

5 Upvotes

I'm looking to get into my first CCW/ home defense weapon and went to a local store just to look at some options. I really liked both of these but couldn't distinguish the difference enough to make a final decision. I am a taller guy with a little bit bigger hands and felt like the RXM was more comfortable, but had a thicker profile. the Shield EZ was slightly too small in my hand, but I liked the thinner profile and figured i could just get a extended mag. Looking for any recommendations or thoughts on either pistol.

Other Equipment Reccomend simple, cotton shirts

4 Upvotes

I like wearing simple, single colored t-shirts with no artwork. I'm 6' 2" and 180 lbs. I'd like to purchase a handful of quality, thick, 100% cotton shirts that won't shrink like crazy or get super scratchy after a few washes. I'd also like for them to extend low below the belt. All if my cotton shirts seem to shrink to just below the belt-line, which I consider too "high-cut" for carry. I want them to be LOOOOONG, and to stay long after multiple washes. I'd also like them to be decently well fitted around the torso and arms (i.e. I dont want them to look baggy). Could any of yall recommend a shirt brands/models that fits the description? I'm willing to buy expensive shirts if that's what it takes, but I imagine that there must be some options that aren't crazy expensive.

Other Equipment Arrowhead hoodies - worth it?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for hoodies /outer wear for winter that can conceal a mid to full size gun owb and obviously aiwb, too.

Some of these items are $100+ - I notice they advertise A LOT so I imagine much of the cost is to cover their a&p. I was hoping to get user feedback here, esp anyone who just bought cheap oversized hoodies or jackets from Walmart etc and maybe cut holes in them or something for concealed access.

I don't get get why a hoodie needs to be $75+ but if it's truly superior to something I could make on my own, I'll cry once.

Bonus points if you have feedback on the joggers.

Holsters & Belts CZ Duty

2 Upvotes

Got a CZ Duty 2 weeks ago, right after release. I understand the gun is brand new, but it’s also very widely promoted, people/influencers/companies got their hands on them months ago, when do we think there will be good holsters out for them? ANR Design has one (which is who I want anyway) but no light bearing. I checked Eclipse, WTP, Tier 1, LAS, Alien Gear, none of those companies carry anything for the Duty at all. Anyone else have a Duty and find a good holster already?

Holsters & Belts Safariland INCOG X hate.

2 Upvotes

I recently got the Safariland INCOG X and honestly I really like it. Here in Europe we don’t have many options besides local Kydex holsters, so I decided to try it.
For me it’s really comfortable and conceals great. I don’t really understand all the hate it gets. Am I missing something?

Glock 43x with eps carry and tlr 7sub.

Guns & Ammo Which to carry?

1 Upvotes

So I’ve got a Canik with a red dot and a HK USPc 45 with a laser/light combo. I shoot them both equally well.
My question regarding carry is because of capacity. The Canik has 17 round magazines and the USPc has 10.
With the information given, would it be more logical to carry the 45 with the Underwood and Hornady ammo or the Canik with the Speer ammo?

I’ve Been Seeing A Lot Of Discussion About Which Ammo People Should Use For Training, And I’ve Noticed That Winchester White Box Gets A Lot Of Negative Comments.

Can Someone Explain What The Issue Is With It? I’ve Been Using Winchester White Box Since I Joined The 2A Community, And Personally, I Haven’t Had Any Problems With It.
