What do you carry? :-)

[SD40VE]

Was just curious as to what everyone chose to carry. What kind of sd ammo you use. And what kind of holster do you prefer?

Me:
Smith and wesson sd40ve 14+1 with spare mag
Sd ammo: winchester ranger t series. I load fmj then sd and alternate. Then top off the mag's first 4 rounds with sd
Holsters: my oc holster is a blakhawk serpa. My cc holster is a appendix iwb. I got it from a friend for dirt cheap

I also sometimes carry hornaday critical duty. Also purchased a hogue slip on grip for my sd

Primary: FNH Five-seveN with Elite Ammo T6 ammo in a Safariland SLS holster (although sometimes a Blackhawk CQC)
Backup: Kahr K40 .40S&W with Federal HST ammo in a DeSantis SuperFly pocket holster or Galco Ankle Glove



Alternate: Para 7.45LDA .45ACP with Federal HST ammo



I may come back and edit the stock pics above.

Depending on the 'mission profile', anything from a 1911 government in 10mm, to a Browning HP in 9mm, to a full size or compact 1911 in .45ACP. BBQ gun  is a two tone Colt 70 Series in 45ACP. Oops, forgot the .38 Super...

Everything in my stable is SA only, except for one Taurus that has a de-cocker, but I still carry it cocked & locked.

.45ACP's are all Winchester 230 gn SXTs (factory loads) ~985 fps (~495 mft lbs ME)
10mm is running Nosler 135 JHPs at 1550FPS (720 ft lbs ME)
9mm runs 125 gn Golden Sabres at 1235FPS (420 ft lbs ME)
38 Super runs 125 gn Golden Sabres at ~1350 fps (~500 ft lbs ME)
40SW is running the factory Rangers in 135gn

Probably will be switching to heavier projectiles for the 10mm to compensate for heavier clothing this time of year.

OH NOES!!!! 2 mentions of blackhawk/serpa holsters in first 2 posts.

I love that Gryph carries a FN FN.  It is still on my short list but I just can't bring myself to drop 1k+ on a carry pistol yet.

- My first EDC was FNH FNP9 in a SafariLand 6285 SLS.
- My current EDC is a FNH FNS9 w/ factory Trijicon night sights in a Safariland 6287 SLS for OC or a J-Bar kydex holster for CC.
- Primary carry ammo currently is Federal LE 147gr HST P9HST2 with lots of extra boxes in the ammo box.  I have a variety of other JHP that I stocked up on: Winchester PDX1 124gr +P, Remington Golden Saber 124gr +P and Speer LE Gold Dot 124gr +P.
- BUG is a Diamond Back DB9 in a Talon pocket holster on weak side with 115gr Remington JHP.
- Fenix PD35 850 lumen light on weak side.
- Spyderco Chicago pocket knife on strong side.
- Olympus VN-6200PC DVR

Glock 38, 45 G.A.P. Blackhawk Serpa.

Ruger sr1911 with Speer gold dot hollow points in a galco black leather cop series 2 holster. Love it very comfortable.  Sometimes roll with glock23 again with Speer gold dot in a serpa holster.

My primary carry is a Glock 26 in a Serpa Holster with two 10rd mags. My BUG is the Ruger LCP in a Remora Ankle holster with an extra 6rd mag.  On most days, I carry 44 rounds.

Sometimes, I'll put my Glock 26 on the ankle in a Remora and OC a Glock 17 in a Serpa holster with a pair of 17rd mags.

For the Glock 26, I also use a Desantis Sof-Tuck for CC.  I use the Remora IWB wedged between the console and car seat and very rarely for pocket carry.

For the LCP I have an AHolster Pwii IWB, the Remora IWB/pocket holster.

I have the Serpa double stack dual mag holder and the single Remora IWB mag pouch. 

For ammo,  I carry Federal Hydra-Shok 124gr +P+ in the G26 and 147gr +P in the G17.  Winchester SX 85gr in the LCP.

Springfield Loaded 1911 .45ACP (PX9109LP) with Remington Golden Sabre or Hornady TAP.

MLive snapped a pic at a picnic.


My concealment option is a Springfield XD-S, which is current still sitting back a Springfield. So much for getting it back by Thanksgiving. When I had it, I was very happy with it.

Glock 17

[32_d3gr33s]

I mostly carry a Smith and Wesson M&P 9c.  OC is serpa blackhawk.  IWB is a leather/kydex holster i made.  I occasionally carry it in a home made leather shoulder rig too.

I also carry a Ruger LCR 357, mostly IWB with a custom holster.








I havent yet open carried this, but may at some point.  Maybe just not in the holster.  The holster works great for at the range though....  (and yes, its a pistol, but just so happens to shoot 5.56 rounds)




here it is put together

[Pond Scum]

I have been known to carry my American Classic (Made by Metro Arms in the Philippines) in a Serpa.  The sweet part is my custom Red Heart Grips hand made by Bronson!   




However, I usually carry my American Classic Trophy in the Serpa when I OC.   







Edit:  Working on it…….

I usually carry a Sig P229 Scorpion TB 9mm in a Serpa Blackhawk CQC retention holster. (Modified to fit the Sig) usually loaded Hormandy hollow points.



My BUG is a Sig P230 .380 w/Trijicon Night Sights in a IWB holster usually loaded Hormandy hollow points.

You are hardcore, you have a +1 for each magazine.

But speaking of magazine, where is yours in that second picture?
