Full size concealed carry.

I prefer something like a VP9 or Commander sized 1911/2011, but depending on situations they’re not always comfortable to carry. I recently picked up a ported Shield Plus, despite not really being a fan of micro 9s, and it obviously conceals really well, but also is a seriously good shooter and I can run 13 rd mags with it. It’s got me reassessing my preferences.

I was always the full size gun guy. That's what I carried unless I didn't have an option.

When we moved out here I decided I was going to carry my M&P 9 a lot more than I did back in the Springs. It wasn't a tactical or strategic decision I just wanted to carry my M&P 9.

The M&P9 Is not significantly larger than a Glock 19 But it got to be a pain in the *** real quick. I don't think I carried it more than 3 months before I switched back to the Glock 19.

Several years ago while I was still working I bought a Kramer Leather holster for my Glock 26. It turned out that I never ever ever carried the Glock 26 in a belt holster. Anytime I carried the Glock 26 it was on an "unarmed" assignment and I carried it in a pocket holster under my Stylish Yellow Safety Vest.

I think it might have been in the beginning of the summer but I decided that I was going to carry that Glock 26 in that Kramer Leather holster and finally break the holster in.

At some point during the break-in process it just became my go-to gun.

We've lived out here a little more than a year and we go weeks without encountering another human being who isn't a member of our family.

I'm not sure exactly how to say this but we live in the middle of nowhere. We're far enough away from really anything that it's a pain in the *** to go anywhere. So we pretty much stay home unless we have to go to town.

A Glock 26 with a 12 round magazine is big enough for any problem that I'm likely to run out into out here.

I carry the Glock 19 when I go to town and really only then because that's the only gun that I own a paddle holster for and anytime I'm going to town I'm going to see a doctor so I have to take my gun off before I go into the office.

As a young patrol officer just off active duty I was broke. I bought a duty gun, a 5" S&W Model 27 but had no money left for a concealed off duty. I carried that big iron concealed for quite a while until I finally saved enough for a 2.5" Model 19. Being 6'5" helped but I learned throughout my career that you have to dress around the gun. I have always been a proponent for carrying the same gun, of at least same manual of arms, both on and off duty. Sometimes you just gotta make do with what you got.
