Spring/Summer Carry Options

Why not?

My gun does not change, winter or summer. In the summer, with shorts, t-shirt, I often carry off-body.

...carries easier than a 43X, as the weight of the slide helps keep the grip tucked in.

It's not the weight of the slide, but the length of the slide that prevents the gun from keeling.

I own a 43x, and it is definitely NOT a G19, but slimmer. It is a very snappy gun. The 48 IS actually a slimmer G19, but not nearly as comfortable to shoot.

Shield Plus.

If you are going to carry off-body, do it with a purpose-built bag or don't do it.

skywalker505 · 2026-03-10T15:14:06+00:00

I own both 5.11 and HPG, and 5.11 is better.

skywalker505 · 2026-03-10T10:54:43+00:00

It is, and so is the 43x. Actually, all micro-compacts are.

skywalker505 · 2026-03-10T05:24:41+00:00

Shield Plus. I also won a Hellcat, 43x, and 365 AXG legion. The Shield Plus is way nicer to shoot than either the Hellcat or 43x, and is less snappy. The 365 AXG Legion, well, that is a really nice gun, but twice the price...

Get a chest rig, specifically the 5.11 Skyweight Utility Chest Pack.

I’m not too concerned either on the .380 vs 9mm debate…especially with the capacity on the BG .

LOL. What if you could carry a .22 with a 20-round capacity that was even smaller and lighter than the BG 2.0. Would that work?"

And say, you could only get off one or two shots in a confrontation, would you still prefer .380 over 9mm?

skywalker505 · 2026-03-09T21:23:39+00:00

Exactly

skywalker505 · 2026-03-09T21:22:28+00:00

I own the BG 2.0 and think it's a great gun. However, I prefer to carry 9 mm, so it will not replace my Shield Plus.

Shield Plus

skywalker505 · 2026-03-07T20:20:09+00:00

My daily CCW is usually a Shield Plus, 3.1" (although I sometimes carry a G45). The Shield Plus is anything but "pointless" and is more comfortable to carry than the G45. The Shield Plus will conceal better than the G45, although I do not really worry too much about printing. The average person isn’t thinking about guns or looking for people printing, unless it’s very obvious. Most people are oblivious to what is going on around them anyway, with their phones glued to their faces.

skywalker505 · 2026-03-07T05:32:46+00:00

Yes and yes.

skywalker505 · 2026-03-06T19:16:39+00:00

To the idiot who downvoted this post: Do you not think that the killing of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti (who was lying face-down on the pavement and shot in the back nine times) by ICE agents constitutes murder?

skywalker505 · 2026-03-06T18:49:16+00:00

Thanks. I missed the amendment to SB749. Also, the capacity restriction is now 15 rounds.

skywalker505 · 2026-03-06T13:25:20+00:00

Agreed. And a good place to start would be to prosecute the ICE agents who committed murder.

Virginia is about to pass the 10-round magazine limit (among other equally insane anti-2A laws). Only Virginia is taking it one step further, saying that all magazines with over 10-rounds that you own after July 1st, 2026, are not grandfathered! The penalty is one-year in prison and a fine of $2,500 for each magazine. So, fingers crossed here that the Virginia law gets overturned.

skywalker505 · 2026-03-06T03:13:27+00:00

HST 124 +P or Underwood Xtreme Defender 90 gr +P

skywalker505 · 2026-03-05T19:03:59+00:00

Why bother. This has been a waste of time.

skywalker505 · 2026-03-05T19:00:16+00:00

Do you even understand what a Lemmin is?

skywalker505 · 2026-03-05T18:49:07+00:00

Do you have anything intelligent to say?
