SOG DonationsDon’t sweat it, mquinn55.
Lots of us old farts are hiding our youthful figures under a coat of extra padding.
And besides, how much you weigh has very little to do with how well you shoot or what you know and do in the gun world.

I still carry a g19g4 in my waistband.

I carry the same gun in the winter or the summer and in exactly the same way (S&W 9c). I carry off body. In the winter drawing from under a parka is ridiculous and carry in the summer when I’m almost naked and w/o a belt is impossible. But my Maxpedition Fatboy works no matter what I wear for clothing. Also, no more wear clothing for the morning and by the afternoon it was the wrong choice but now I’m committed and I sweat my bag off.

S&W M&P 9c - great gun!
I would edc it if I could figure out how I could carry it.

I like an OWB with a Ruger LC 9s. Even with extended mag it will fit under thin cloths without printing. A lot of it is how you walk. Think humble and know one will know.

S&W Bodyguard 380, Galloway trigger, Federal ammo, w/Alabama pocket holster. Carry in front pocket of my shorts. Light weight, comfortable while driving, and nobody knows it’s there.

I live in Central Texas and my Walther PPQ is my carry gun year round.
Good belt, good holster, specific wardrobe choices. It’s all one and the same. I don’t carry for comfort, I carry for maximum protection and my PPQ gives me the capacity, reliability, and quality trigger I want.

This will be the first summer I’ll be carrying my SP2022 full-time. I carried it a little during the winter, and it was noticeably bigger. If all else fails, I downsize to a 229.

Normal EDC is: a G32 appendix, with a spare mag, Spyderco Mannix & a leatherman, chapstick/lip balm, a AA flashlight of some kind (currently an Olight S1A Baton…but I think I prefer my old Fenix PD12), a Bic lighter, a second, smaller pocketknife (Sypderco Dragonfly) that goes inside my pocket. That’s it. I’d like to add in a small first aid kit, but honestly I’m running out of space.

HA! Steal my son’s Paw Patrol gear…
Fanny pack. 
Usually worn in front. More like a marsupial pack. But that’s too hard to spell.
And come on… isn’t a fanny pack akin to a man bun?

@Plisskyn, That’s a whole lot of gear for pair of shorts and a t-shirt are you running into printing issues carrying all that stuff.
The Fenix PD12 is a good torch I replaced mine with a TK16

Shorts? On the rare occasion I wear shorts, they are cargo shorts with the same pockets I have in my normal pants. It sounds like a lot of gear, but it really isn’t. I worry about printing with the pistol…I don’t care about the rest of my gear. Never been made, and my wife says she can’t tell. Normally carry the pistol appendix under a t-shirt, or a t-shirt tucked in with an overshirt of some kind, usually a snap up.

I like the TK16 a lot…but stick to AA flashlights for EDC/TEOTWAWKI scenarios.

For a girl, it’s really difficult since most summer clothes don’t even have a belt loop. Belly bands are too hot and not easy to draw from. So I fashioned a padded strip with belt loops on it so I can use my regular gun belt. I can wear that with draw string shorts or capris and my gun is right where I need it.

In the summer I’ll use an iwb holster to carry my Ruger LCP under my left arm secured to my bra. It’s comfortable and allows me to wear most anything I want without overly printing.

There’s times when I’m too lazy to put on proper pants w/loops to take the dog on a walk. I still throw on my gun belt & wear a thin, cool snap down cover shirt.
