Going to try to CC my kmber warrior

Post by joebobz »

Well I just ordered a crossbreed supertuck deluxe holster for my kimber warrior. I've been thinking back and forth on the what the "perfect" concealed carry gun would be and usually I carry my ruger lcr but. I'm gonna try to do it right and carry an appropriate piece of hardware.I took a Gunsite course last summer with the kimber and I am by far more confident with it than any of my other pistols so we'll see how it works. I'm about 5' 10 175 anybody about that size carry a fullsize 1911 daily? I imagine I can make it work under a loose shirt but I just can't bring myself to wear a vest (no offense to anyone who wears one)

No 1911, and my usual carry is a S&W j-frame (snub .38 spl). But I do have a Ruger GP-100 .357 mag with 4" barrel that I will CC on occasion. Much larger, and about 3X the weight of the .38. It works best for me under an untucked shirt. You do need a good holster, but having a suitable belt that can support the weight is a must, too.
Like you, I'm more proficient with the larger gun. But I make a point of practicing with the smaller one, as I do carry it much more often. Good luck!

1911's are easy to conceal if you have a quality holster and belt. The biggest advantage to concealing a Government Model is that it's a thin gun. Carried IWB in a CBST it will disappear under an untucked T shirt no problem. I carry my Colt Combat Elite in a Super Tuck on occasion and find it simple to hide. Actually I prefer to conceal a 5" GM more than an 3.5" Officer's, the barrel length of the GM pushes the grip in close where the Officer's shorter barrel allows the grip to lean away from my midsection making it harder to conceal.
