I'm kind of weird in that I carry three guns when Im not working and only two when on the job. I just picked up a PX4 Storm a while back which is kinda chunky and is what I carry off the clock since I've not yet gotten a good way to carry it around. I also ankle carry my 637 snubby and pocket a tiny LCP.

I think size preferences for me depend on where it's carried. I don't mind the extra weight of the revolver in the ankle but I HATED it when I used to pocket it. I like shooting the PX4 the most which is the compact size but right now it's in a crappy holster that came with it. Gonna probably appendix carry it later.


I think I like the bigger guns ATM but I haven't ever touched a "full sized" gun before so my idea of big guns might be a little off.

As I get older, ounces become pounds.

I'm still totin' my Glock 22 on duty, but I'm thinking about switching to my 1977 Colt Cobra.

Off duty, I used to pocket carry either a Glock 43, a Ruger LC9s Pro or a Smith & Wesson model 442. Not all at the same time, of course, but one of those were consistently in my right front pocket.

I don't have any of them now, but as soon as I locate either a 442 or an LC9s Pro, they will be back at home in me pocket.

I had a hard time drawing my Shield and getting a good grip from the start. I think it may have been that my holster kept it really low, but I traded it away to upgrade a size.

I usually only carry my 637 at home, but it sure does get uncomfortable when I just get back. It's in a galco glove holster so the neoprene really retains the heat from outside for a good while. I'll normally just let it air out for a while.

Reallly? THREE guns? What in the world do you do that makes you want to carry three guns? Man, you must live in one rough neighborhood.

A Kimber Ultra Carry 2 in a belt holster in the winter. A Ruger LCR .357 or Kahr Arms .380 CW in my right pants pocket. A Glock 30 with five loaded mags in my car and sometimes an AR M4 in the car on trips within the state.
