Oh, sorry. No the 1911 is a winter wear. I can just see trying to hide a brick under my fishing shirt. LolNever been printed with a Miami Rig while sporting a Tee or Fishing Shirt?

Come March my attire switches to shorts, an untucked polo, and JC Cruisers. It appears to me that most folks like the Glock 9mm family for CCW. But I'm not sold on 9mm Glocks with barrels shorter than 5 inches. I'm a big bore believer, so could I get some input from folks armed with the Glock 36 in .45ACP. If I'm going to switch to a subcompact and sacrifice caliber, concealability (tiny) probably rules out. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
1st -beautiful weapon. 2nd I'm notoriously bad about dinging, scraping, or scuffing cc firearms. ( dropped even) Im carring all day, everyday.. if i have pants on,, i have a weapon. I'd be scared to take that out of the house. YmmvView attachment 91320
Size and summer carry?
This is a 1911 Government thats been dehorned and smoothed like a worn bar of soap. The finish is the tried,true, and well proven Armaloy that's been used on severe duty arms for decades. Coupled with a slim bushings set and slim micarta grip panels and a clip grip.
With a good belt this baby rides IWB held firmly against me at 3 o'clock covered by a lite t shirt.
Size does matter.
G36 isn't much smaller than a G19. Had one for a few years. 15 round mags beat out 6 rounders to me. 9mm projectiles have come a long way in recent years and thats why I switched to 9mm. The G48-43× are only thinner by 1/10 of an inch compared to the G19.
Are 6 .45 ACP's greater than or equal to 15 9mm's out of 3 inch barrels?
If your facing 7 perps perhaps?
If your bracing just 1 perp??????????
I pocket carry a p938. Has been my main pocket gun for 4+ years during shorts/short sleeve seasons. I don’t use the pinky extension magazine either. I have soft pocket holster and place a small paper notebook in front to hide shape. I feel comfortable with drawing and shooting. I have carried others but with kids and all the other shit I end up having to lug around, the p938 during the short/ short sleeve seasons it is my go to. I have better options in my vehicle/house, but for my pocket everyday all year option, I enjoy it. When I can wear a jacket/ layers I do sometimes carry other options.
Stop it! I don't need anymore guns!! , well maybe 2. . .30 rds of .22 mag might stop a BG or a whole group of BG's. DammitNowadays,with the happenings going on in the US,the higher mag cap pistols are a good choice. There is no way that I would carry,or recommend a 5 or 6 shot revo. Especially with it's non ability for a quick reload.
Moon clips,speed loaders,speed strips,etc, have never done it for me anyway. Even back in the daze that I was "forced" to carry a revo.
If you did not mind "bigger",a Kel Tec PMR 30 on your hip and a CMR 30 in the back seat seems like a good - -> GREAT idea anyway. Using the same mags would be a huge plus. Of course that is a plus for my Glocks also. With Glock 31 mags,I can use them in my 32 and 33 for reloads if need be. --- SAWMAN
Just to speak to the caliber debate, there is plenty of empirical study out there of effectiveness of most modern ammo, even tested specifically out of short barrels. While gel isn’t street experience, it does provide apples to apples comparison between caliber and bullet designs.
I’m quite comfortable with 124+p HSTs or gold dots in just about any 9mm (I carry a CZ P07, Shield, or Glock 19 in that order of frequency and am comfortable with their differences). Also fine with standard pressure 147s in modern bullets. I wouldn’t fault anyone for going for more displacement, but I feel fine. I have no DD214 so feel free to dismiss my opinion. Respect to all of you who have served.
Here’s a link to the most comprehensive testing in one place I’ve found. No shortage of calibers represented.
