Have I mentioned lately I miss hockey.
And I'm frigging bored. Even though I work like a dog.. a very long work day.
Have I mentioned...
that although I have always been partial to regular or full size handguns, that I absolutely love my Sig 365XL and it has now become my everyday Carry. A trooper buddy of mine suggested it to me. I was never a fan of the smaller guns (even though I do not have big hands), but this pup shoots like a champ. The XL has a slightly longer barrel (than the 365) and holds 10+1 in standard mag, and 12+1 in extended. (talking 9mm here) I carry it with the regular mag and it shoots like a dream. Easy to put and keep on target. The only issue I have with it is the mag release spring is very tight and it takes some effort for me to release it with my thumb. Maybe with time I will learn to technique it better...or strengthen my thumb, but I think it is because the grip is narrow and shorter than I am used to, so it takes a conscience effort not to get the bottom/palm of my hand in the way of the ejecting mag, whilst pressing the release. (I am used to the longer grip of regular sized guns)
Anyway, fabulous gun. It shoots so much better (accurately) than I expected from a gun this size.
I also have a Sig 320C in 45 auto, which
was my carry gun prior to the 365XL. I do love this gun and it also shoots very well (as do all Sigs). I prefer a .45 for a carry gun, but the XL is easier to conceal carry for a guy with current....let's say...physique. (I might just currently be sporting my middle age spread)
Which brings me to a question... I conceal carry with a IWB holster on my strong side at about the 3:30 position with the weapon canted at angle (grip forward, barrel down and back). Mostly due to that's where it fits my waistline for standing, sitting and driving without digging the grip into my spare tire or the muzzle into hip/ass...for the most part. (and yes I realize this is not a question)
The question is...for concealed carry, what do you carry (weapon) and how/where do you carry it, AND....mostly my question was....has anyone tried the Urban Carry G3 type holster? It is kind of a mini-purse type deal with a flap you grap and pull up and it draws the holster/weapon sort of up out of your pants? It seems there are very positive reviews on it and they swear it will be your go to method of conceal and draw once you get used to it. Although, I carry locked and loaded and my weapon has no manual safety, so even though I am confident in my own trigger awareness and the mechanism that actually fires the weapon, I kind of cringe when I see guys who pack the gun kind of pointed toward their own junk (or femoral artery)
Curious to hear from some of you experience folks (and novices too)
