Back neighbor two houses down has a dog that appears (reply)

To be part pit bull or boxer. If he got out I'd hate to take him on with a 380. Think I'd need Matthew's 45 for that! Dog doesn't appear overly aggressive but he still makes me nervous at times.

I try to stay out of those kind of places (reply)

Stayin' out of places you think you might need a gun is a real good idea, but since I retired it seems like every time I have really needed a gun has been within sight of the house.

I carry a 45 and a spare 45 ... (reply)

i thought about that, but find a belt PLUS suspenders redundant and repititious!

it's sometimes the only option. An ankle holster is NOT an option, at least for me.

That said, in all but the hottest weather I can usually find a way to conceal a Star BM or a LW Commander in an IWB rig. I've always hated A-line undershirts (make me feel like I'm playing a two-bit hood in a 1950's B movie) but they have their place in keeping a holstered gun from rubbing your hide. With a lightweight fishing shirt over it, you can conceal almost anything.

Little S&W Terrier usually goes along in my britches pocket, though.....

That's why I carry a spare mag in my back pocket!... (reply)

I carry a 45 AND a spare mag!

Well, that's one place to carry. Not the only and not the (reply)

best, BUT I LIKE having my hand on my gun and looking harmless while I do it. Like Bill Jordan taught us in the weak side front pocket while the main gun is on the strong side hip. Down side of pocket carry- hard to block blows, impossible to access while seated, slow to draw, unless one has his hand on the gun ready to go in advance...

Please............. (reply)

Take a force on force gunslinger school that focuses on concealed carry....

You will never carry in your pocket again.....

I have an Elsie Pea and carry it every day. But, it is what it is, a close quarters belly gun. If you want to shoot a fellow on the other side of the room, this is not the pistol.

95% of the time, when I leave the house, I carry my Sig P239 in addition to Elsie Pea. This is not a pocket pistol, but a compact easy shooting 9mm. With the Sig, I can reach out and touch someone.

Good idea - too bad we don't know anybody who could make it (reply)

I am very comfortable with my KelTec P32 or the wife's S&W 432. Had the LCP and it just did not float my boat, but that is simply presonal preferences. It is a fine pistol for the intended purpose.

Now that the cold weather is here I am back to carrying a Glock, either a 19 or a 32.

I carry the little LCP every where I go, sometimes I carry a 1911 also. I carry the Ruger in a Milt Sparks POC, in my right front pocket.

That's why I carry a spare mag in my back pocket!... (reply)

Boge Quinn — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 13:41:41 +0000

...I'm not supremely confident that one mag of 380 will handle all applicable social conflicts.

I need to get somebody to make me a back-pocket double-mag carrier.............

a 380m in your pocket is better than a 45 left at home (reply)

Rob Leahy — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 06:23:17 +0000

maybe I recently stopped carrying a j frame .38 and went to a .45 XDs in the pocket.

Yup with those sights Elsie Pea needs the laser (reply)

stonewalrus — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 03:38:52 +0000

I probably pack mine more than anything else. Like you, even if I'm carrying something else Elsie commonly rides along.

LCP for me, see?... (reply)

Boge Quinn — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 02:17:24 +0000

...with a CT laser. Even when I have a 45 strapped on, that LCP is in my right front pocket, and an extra mag in the right rear.

My LCP is the only carry weapon I have had that I forget its in my pocket. I sometimes carry it in a shirt pocket under a coat. And it is a dandy in the pockets coats have now that are on the inside at the chest.

One thing I recommend is to buy the Pachmeyer rubber slip on grip enhancer (about $10). Its sort of sticky type rubber which makes it much easier to shoot and to help it from falling out of a pocket
