Seasonal carry change Login/Join

I did a quick search, don’t find this particular discussion
My warm weather has been a 365, very happy with it. Carries light ,shoots well.As I go from shorts and tee shirt to jeans and multi layer dress, my cool-cold weather carry will be my HK USPc 357 LEM.
You may ask why for me it’s fairly simple, even though it’s larger, somewhat more powerful. I carried a DAK on duty for the last 16 years… this gun is stupid accurate and easy to shoot in my hands.

I do notice, after almost 20 years, night sights need to be replaced

What are your thoughts on seasonal EDC carry change?

Another change, after 34 years my ID now says RETIRED in large red print

I carry a Glock 23 pretty much year round. If needed for certain attire, I have a Glock 43x or a Glock 43 that I can carry, although that’s rare. I’m considering carrying my Glock 22 when the weather cools off a bit.

I do the same thing every change of season.
I bought a Hellcat for Summer carry as I felt the single stack I was carrying didn't have enough capacity.
Pretty soon I'll be carrying the P10S when I can wear an outer garment.
Winter is the G19X in an OWB holster with the thumb snap.
Some don't like the changing of platforms or changing of pistols. To each his/her own.


I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

I've pretty much been doing 43X year round and now 43X with TLR-7sub.

I used the regular 43 last night for a function no nothing would hang off my belt since it was nice and compact.

Winter time, I might go back to OWB carry of my gen3 32 or try the new PX4CC I got in.



Not minority enough!

It was a hot summer by Michigan standards this year, and I found I carried my S&W 340 .357 almost exclusively. As it gets colder, I’ll transition to my Glock 19.

I carry my P245 year round. IWB in the summer, OWB after sweatshirt weather starts. My J-Frame rides in the pocket when I'm wearing clothing that won't support a belt (like on the boat, running, etc).

I went to a 9mm Walther PPQ during the exciting times of 2 summers ago because I felt comfortable with more ammo. Prior, I had carried a 9mm PPS, and a .40 cal P239 in winter. When winter genuinely kicks in here in north Texas and heavier coats and clothing are common, I will switch the barrels to .357.

Federal HST 147 for 9mm and .357 Sig. Speer Gold dot 155's for the .40.

Pretty much always carry the 19, but now that I've got a G45, I'll be carrying it during the winter months after I put some rounds through it and make sure it works like it should.

I have "a few" guns. Everything from high end 1911's to classic P series Sigs, Glocks, HK, revolvers. Every one was bought with the intention of being carried, but the last few years it's pretty much been the G19. I carry it every day and the only change is whether it's IWB or belt carry.

I’ve been pretty consistent in my CCW over the years. An HK P2000 and an P2000SK first chambered in 357 Sig and then models chambered in 9mm were carried for about a dozen years. I bought a P365 and started shooting classes with Glocks. The last three years I’ve been carrying either a G19 or the P365 with the Sig getting most of the warm weather duty. Lately, I’ve been practicing and ordering leather for guns I hadn’t thought about carrying in years. This winter I will be carrying a S&W M66 snub pinned and recessed with an amazing trigger and new leather just received from R. Grizzle. I have a Few P320s that will be replacing my Glocks for carry including one with an RMR that I’ve put about 2k round through this summer. I may even put an MK25 w/ a GGI srt kit and a few upgraded springs into the rotation as I’ve been shooting that a lot and shoot it extremely well. I’m really looking forward to cooler weather this year.

Shadow Systems MR918 for year round EDC, what changes are the holsters. I use my Kramer horsehide OWB belt scabbard primarily during the Spring, Fall, & Winter and use my Sparks SSII IWB holster during the Summer. I will also use the SSII when I need/want a little more concealment.

Before the 918 it was a Glock 19, before that it was my SIG P239 for off-duty carry.

We get to 120 degrees sometimes here in the summer and as low as the mid 20s sometimes in the winter.

I carry the same gun in the same holster 365 days a year. I see no reason to switch with the weather.

I used to change guns seasonally, since acquiring my 365, I no longer do. Standard P365 year 'round!

Interesting. I also carry a P365 in the summer using a DeSantis pocket holster. I would usually transition to a VP-9 in cooler weather with a Kydex IWB. I own several other handguns but nothing that I can shoot better than these two. I'm so happy with the P365 that I am also considering making it they year rounder.

Same thing here for the Shadow Systems most of the time. Occasionally G43 or 43X, sometimes in fall or winter G17 MOS. Every now and then I go on a revolver kick; Kimber 6S 3 inch TLE on belt and either a 2 1/2 inch Kimber 6S or S&W J Frame on ankle with with speed strips for reloads. I have a S&W 586 plus Performance Center at the my gunsmith for getting XS Big Dot sights being put on, the hammer switched over to a bobbed one, and action smooth (it already has a good action, just smoothing it out a touch) that will go into Winter rotation. the .357s go well with my "truck gun", 1892 Alaskan Takedown in .357. I am looking for the a Henry Big Boy X Model.

Glock 19 year round. When I first moved to FL it felt a little big and uncomfortable for the heat and humidity so I carried a P365 the first year or so. But now I’m back to the G19. It’s the same gun I carried all year in GA for over a decade.
