My winter carry is my glock 36 in a shoulder rig under my jacket and when the weather gets too warm for my jacket I carry my subcompact springfield xd 9mm in a thin holster in the front pocket of my jeans with my shirt untucked and in all cases I keep my glock 22 in the truck all of which are ready for action if ever needed

221 votes so far, and Tupperware rules, hands down, with a nod to 1911s. I carry an XD45.

EDC is one of my Springfield XD's.
I also carry a Kel-Tec P3AT when deep concealment is called for.

I voted for 1911, though I'm not actually carrying yet. By summer's end hopefully I'll be running a Springfield Armory 5" Loaded 1911 in some sort of IWB...

Firearm math is my best subject.
Add a pistol thrice a yr.
Subtract the bullet weight out the barrel.
Multiply the fun times friends.
Divide the guns. Revolvers on the left & SAs on the right.

Glock 19 in a Federal IWB Holster. Very comfortable to me. Can't go wrong with a Glock...

I've switched from the FEG PA63 (DA/SA Auto) to an even smaller percentage in the poll, a Hi-Power (SA Auto, non-1911). I carry it in a Galco Combat Carry OWB holster. :smile:

I have a Galco OWB holster also, but I need to buy more polo and tshirt that is a little bigger than my body. I like wearing fitted shirts, that's the reason why I have to wear a IWB holster. I'm going to start wearing my OWB soon to test out the waters.

If you're interested at all in button-up type shirts (work shirts, essentially), may I recommend going to a Dickies store. I just got back from one with several work shirts, and WOW they do an incredible job of concealing. The key is getting a proper size. I've had trouble in the past, as I have very broad shoulders and am barrel-chested. Their 3X workshirts are a perfect fit. It's a great quick-access solution when you keep them unbuttoned. I can't think of a better way to carry concealed.

Gonna go shopping tomorrow at the mall and carry concealed with my OWB Holster. Going to find some shirts that will conceal this baby perfectly. Thanks for the suggestion. :grin:
