List of ten light weight guns to carry in hot weather.

[Plinkuh]

If you are wearing shorts and a tee shirt you are unlikely, despite the protests on here, to carry a 1911 or a Glock 19 or 17 or even a 26. My BodyGuard 380 is ALWAYS with me whenever I cannot carry my M&P9 or Glock 19. Any comparison to a 380 being a "girly" round makes me want to see you have one ponted at you. Let's see if it scares you or not. After you are shot I bet you will not be joking around anymore.

I carry a full size Glock 17, wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I have been for the last month or so....

I am certain that I wouldnt want shot with any gun, but as far as carry of a full size with shorts and t-shirt, unless I am taking the wife out for dinner, I usually am wearing a t-shirt or a polo shirt. When the temps get up over 75, unless I am at work, I wear shorts, and sandals. I normally carry a full size 1911, but switch to a Glock 26 when it gets really hot, and I know I will be sweating alot. Outside of my normal carry gun, I have also carried a Taurus PT92 without any printing to speak of.

A good holster, and a stiff belt will go a long way in making a full size pistol disappear in normal summer clothing.

 

[twostepadin]

if im dressing real summery, nylon shorts and whatnot. tcp .380, because getting shot sucks in general.

 

[Dr.Midnight]

Nothing new on that list. Of course Kel-Tec would have the top two lightest pistols on there. They're made from melted down G.I. Joe's aren't they?

Agreed. Carried the 17 yesterday in shorts and t-shirt. Today was a 19 in shorts and t-shirt. My sausage fingers won't even fit the 26. Well, my trigger finger and middle finger but thats it.

It seems that, despite your protests, it is actually a fairly common practice to carry a full-size pistol with shorts and a tee shirt.

I prefer an XDm.

My Taurus PT-111 is a great lightweight carry pistol. Super compact, polymer body. Great gun for the price! It's a millenium "old version". Been carryin it all summer. A good wipe down with an oil rag every once in awhile and she looks good as new!

 

[foszoe]

I think big calibers are overrated. So I like a .32 and if I feel the need a .25 to back it up

I've been carrying a NAA Guardian since they have been building them, It goes everywhere with me, all four seasons (both seasons in Indiana, Too Hot or Too Cold).

I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt right now. I'm carrying a 92FS and two extra mags.

Other days I carry a HiPower with two extra mags.

It's really not that hard to do. For some of us at least.

Lets see a pic of you carrying that in shorts and a T-shirt!

With the weather warming up, I usually to carry the same full size 1911 that I carry when its cold...

After setting up steel targets for FNS in 100 degrees a week ago, my 5" 1911 was dripping sweat when I was given the "make ready" command. I whined a little about rust starting to show on the hammer when the RO showed his compassion by asking "Are you ready?"

My shorts and T shirts never seem to mind the "real gun" and double mags on the other side.

I would never willingly trust the lives of me and mine to a .380.

I'll get to that tomorrow. I promise.

 

[LawDog76]

Meh. Sissy pistols.

What else do you expect from people that CC all the time.

 

[ghitch75]

old school for me.....S&W 37 Airwieght....nickel...

 

[BlueEagle]

Easily conceal with a G26 or a G17 in shorts and a tee shirt, IWB at 4oclock. Working on a nice concealed double mag pouch for the other side right now. Haven't worked out the most comfortable way to form it, yet.

 

[Birdstrike]

Taurus 709 slim, I'm telling you the slim guns ride a lot better in the belt or pocket, still fit your hand, and pack a punch. P2000SK stays home, and I LOVE that gun!

 

[stacks067]

I'm surprised there aren't more pocket 9mm's on that list

I don't carry a gun to "scare" people. I carry one to stop aggressive predators. Be sure to lube your little .380 really well, so it won't hurt so much after you empty it on a crackhead or mentally unbalanced criminal, and he takes it away from you and shoves it up your behind.

Then again, I guess that is another advantage of a dinky, small caliber pistol. Easy to carry, either in your pocket, in your purse, or in your rectum.
