    I carry all the time, except when Im working. I could but a body shop probably isnt the best environment for a handgun on a daily basis.

    I would carry more often if I had a good carry gun lol....my 9mm Ruger is just too large for comfort. I think I'd carry more often with a 38 special or compact semi-auto

    I started carrying with a Springfield XD.45. I have a Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster for it. I am a small frame guy, only weigh 130 lbs soaking wet and I can conceal the XD just fine. My issue is the weight of it. At 14 rounds of .45 it can feel heavy on the hip especially when wearing a pair of shorts. So I got a Kimber Ultra Carry II .45 for Christmas. It is considerably smaller and 1/2 pound lighter. The only drawback would be the capacity is 7 + 1 so its cut in half from the XD. I really do like the 1911 though and may be trading the XD for a fullsize if I can get the right money.

    I forget the name of it I will look when I get home from work. I can't see picutures on my desk PC but I will check it out later. It's a leather in the pants type of holster and fits very snug but the grip just sticks out far

    I haven't carried in a few years since I was living in CA.. but once we get into actually living in DE they honor my permit so I'll be carrying my Ruger LCP. I have a Springfield XD9, but I never felt comfortable carrying it since I normally wear a tshirt I always felt like it was printing. I have cross creed holsters for both and highly recommend them.
