Quoted:
Here in Connecticut, fall is really setting in and it's now jacket weather. I typically carry an XD-S appendix, but was thinking about trying an OWB under a jacket. Does anybody else carry a different weapon, or different placement during the different seasons? I'm not trying to be insulting, but you must think this through for yourself. Seeking validation for your personal security decisions on an online forum is just asking for a torrent of bad advice. People need to cope with a wide variety of carry scenarios, situations, different dress, different weather, how important is total concealment? There are many subtle decisions that are part of the process of determining what will work for YOU. 1) Make the decisions YOU need to make. 2) PRACTICE with the equipment that will work best for YOUR situation. 3) Then practice some MORE. |

Before I carried a 1912, Glock 21 or Glock 17 year round.
Now, in summer, Glock 26. Colder days in a social setting a Glock 19. Doing outdoor stuff, Glock 17 OWB. I was 25 lbs lighter before and my broad shoulders could cover my guns. Now I have to be conscious. |

I rarely carry anything smaller than my Xdm9 or XD45 Service, if I do, then I switch it up with an XD9SC or XDm45C, doesn't matter if it's 100 out or in the teens. I do change up how I carry though but that is dependent on where I am going. Most of the time it's OC, then IWB or Appendix carry.

Personally I like lighter in summer as in single stack 9 appendix.
For winter you can pretty much conceal anything. So I opt for double stack OWB. Plus it's more comfortable If you want consistency stay with appendix. I can use either. Obviously appendix is faster and more accessible. YMMV. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I carry a G30s pretty much 24/7/365. Printing isn’t ever really an issue. Even then, I really don’t care. People are oblivious to their surroundings. I’ll OC on occasion, and can count on one hand how many times someone seems to have noticed. Generally, when the weather warrants a jacket, I’ll carry OWB. The rest of the year it mostly goes IWB around 3:30. Now, I have been toying with Appendix carry. The 30s may not be the right tool for that job. Printing really hasn’t proven to be an issue. Again, not that I care. Comfort wise, I can’t find the sweet spot. Maybe a better dedicated AWIB holster would do the trick. Currently I have a AG Cloak 3.0. It’s great at 3:30. Not so much at Appendix. Even then, it may just be a little too large to be comfortable. Good excuse to go look at guns

Same gun all year round. Personally, I don't see a reason to change it with the seasons.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Winter clothing in most places is heavier and makes it easier to conceal a larger gun. I carry a 5.7 all year long IWB. ( shorts and a lightweight shirt ) Can't get much bigger than that or lesser amount of clothing, but as I said that was me personally. Well maybe if you tried to CC this gun:

I carry a variety of guns depending on situation but not season.
