What is your carry set up?
Re: What is your carry set up?
Usually "Gladis" goes in a Galco Fletch holding 180gr TAP,Extra mag on any good belt and a Spyderco Delica. Sometimes "Hariet" goes holding 230gr Golden Sabre, Extra mag and a Spyderco Delica. Those are my main squeezes the others I only fool around with on occasion.

Any other revolver guys? I'd be curious to see what your rig is.

Oops... missed your post earlier in the thread Nathan (LOL, back in May 2009).Nathan wrote:...or my Taurus 651 .357mag snub nose loaded with Federal Hydrashoks... in a Don Hum JIT belt slide. OWB only for me.

I like .357, too. It's magical. Looking now for a holster for a 4" bbl Ruger GP-100 in .357. Probably won't become my regular carry, as I really like my j-frame, but I would like the option.

When I'm carrying light, I carry my Ruger LCR in a Galco Summer Comfort IWB

Otherwise, it's my Kimber Ultra Raptor II in a Crossbreed Super-Tuck Deluxe IWB

Be particular, and be vigilant, as the enemy will only attack on two occasions:
When you're ready or when you're not ready.
Also never forget, that everyone who shows up, is not necessarily there to help.

Re: What is your carry set up?
Glock model 30 in .45 with 230 grain HP and light/ laser in a CrossBreed Supertuck, Taurus .327 magnum in a pocket holster or a croosdraw IWB with 85 grain hydro shocks. Waiting to get some Speer gold dot ammo but still on back order. Buck 3 inch folder- razor sharp and a mini maglight. Oh yeah and the look, I stole my Look from my dad. It was the one he gave me that used to freeze my blood. I am 6'3 and 305 lbs, my dad is 5'9 180 and with one look he could stop me in my tracks. Sometimes the best weapon to carry is just to be alert and aware. Bad guys don't want a fight, they want a victim.

Re: What is your carry set up?
I got the same gun (642) and just got my CHPa few days ago so now am looking for OWB and pocket holsters for it and my older Walther PPK/S (from Interarms).newdovo wrote:I carry a Smith & Wesson J-Frame Centennial Airweight, model 642. In plain English, a .38 snubbie. It's a newer model, so it'll shoot +p rounds. I replaced the factory black rubber boot grips with wood service grips and Tyler t-grip. I like the old school look, even though I'm the only one who gets to see it.![]()
If I'm belt carrying, I use a Don Hume J.I.T. slide holster. For pocket carry, a Blackhawk pocket holster.

Re: What is your carry set up?
I carried my Baby Eagle in .45 for the first time this past Saturday all day long...from about 1:30 AM until around 10 PM that night...its chrome and weighs a ton...I liked it alot...I used an Uncle Mike's cloth holster and it worked great...wish I had a nice leather one for it...when I put it on I thought I'd be sorry later but nothing doing...it rode nice in the holster and didnt drag my britches down a bit... 

No more catchy slogans for me...I am simply fed up...4...four...4...2+2...

Re: What is your carry set up?
I am a fan of Galco leather. Not super expensive, but not cheap either. They tend to last a long time, fit the gun correctly, and are well thought out products. I have IWB, OWB, ankle, pocket holsters. I really like their Fletch holster for OCing. Works pretty good for CC, but the retention strap does catch on clothing easier than one without a retention strap.
I vary my extra mag carrying, none, one or two are common. The Galco cop mag holders are nice and so are the CC versions. I like singles for a double stack (find that two double stack mags in one holster is too bulky), but double mags for single stacks.
Sometimes I carry a Surefire LED E1 flash light and/or Hinderer pocket knife. Ammo is usually Speer GD, but also do like the Winchester Ranger T ammo. 124gr +P for 9mm, 230gr for .45ACP, and 125gr for .357SIG.
Guns have been:
9mm: G19, G26
.357SIG: G32, G33
.45ACP: WC CQB
380Auto: LCP
I don't usually carry the 9mm now because I can handle the higher recoil of .357SIG/.45ACP much better now. It never was that I could shoot them or even that I didn't enjoy shooting them, but I didn't shoot them as well. Practice, practice, practice. I usually carry either the G32 or WC CQB. The G26/G33 are treated as backup guns generally. I carry the LCP when I can't carry anything else or just want the pocket carry.
