I carry a couple of different things in defferent situations.
I have a Ruger SP101 that fits in a pocket well. 5 rds of 357 will work in a pinch.
I've been a 1911 kind of guy for many years and that is my favorite. But...it is not a good choice for a defensive concealed weapon. The victim's ...I mean bad guys lawyer will tear you apart in court. Therefore, I carry either a G23 or a G26
I am no tin favor of carrying crunchentickers for defense. Too much mental gear change between the first long DA pull nad subsequent SA pulls. But I own a couple. I am comming to the opinion that in a carry piece, I am willing to substitute reliability for capacity. I like the little SP101. Fits just about anywhere. nothing to snag on a draw, if you can't stop a fight in five rds, you shouild have fled....
I'm not a fan of shoulder rigs. They are slow and they show. I like either SOB or IWB holsters either from Kramer or Galco
