Colt XSE LW Commander in 45 ACP with a few mods that I've done. Grips, grip screws, grip safety, and thumb safety. Also eliminated the few MIM parts in the Colt.

Anyone who has ever carried a gun all day for any length of time, knows that it can very quickly become an uncomfortable and inconvenient nuisance. A good quality sturdy holster and a good quality sturdy belt is a must, and is money well spent.

At work it is a Glock 27 in a Don Hume holster with a Don Hume belt.

At work, play or anywhere else, I am rarely without my Smith & Wesson 342 with Crimson Trace laser grips. It is usually in a Renegade ankle holster, but when I'm in shorts, its in my waistband. It is small, light, easy to conceal and to carry.

Seeing as we cannot carry a registered weapon up here, I can carry this.

That's hilarious.  :roflmao:

I haven't carried a pistol much in several years. Got drunk one night, things happened and I scared myself. I swore I'd never carry a pistol again. That's been about 15 years ago and now that I'm older and my back is banged up I have been considering getting my conceal carry permit.
I really like some of these pistols. I was always partial to the .45 acp, but they can be a little hard to conceal.

Anyone know if those Airweights can be bought in the 40ish size calibers?

Thanks for showing your guns.

I have a few to choose from: At work I carry a Beretta 92G, but we are getting ready to transition to a Sig P220 .45. Off duty I carry either my Springfield V10 .45, Sig P239 9mm or my wife's Keltec .380
