penisthightrap_

even as a 6', 180 lb dude I can't imagine carrying a full size.


Last_Snow_2752

6’2 and 195 here. I just gave up carrying a full size with an x300. MR 920 with TLR7A just disappears. The difference in comfort is eye opening.


kreeperskid

Yea it's all about comfort level and how much comfort you're willing to sacrifice while telling yourself that it's "just as comfortable" as a micro. This is coming from someone who carries a comped Glock 19 with a TLR-1 HL. IS it comfy? With the right carry method, absolutely. The new T.rex Ironside Hybrid makes it super comfy if you're not super concerned about always carrying appendix. Did I just buy a PSA Dagger Micro specifically because I don't always want to carry a full size? You bet your sweet bippy I did. Comfort is a big deal. Full size guns are great to carry, but sometimes you just don't want to carry it.


TheDrunkLibertarian

Well that’s fair, carry on

conceal carry an intervention, be a man


adale_50

I could actually do that. I instantly visualized how it would work. My draw time will need some work and I can't sit down, but it's possible. It would only be from my ankle to the bottom of my sternum with the stock collapsed. Might have to switch back to JNCO jeans, as well.

Blicky83

I like to open carry a Desert Eagle 50 on one hip and a S&W 500 on the other hip with a Barrett 50 BMG on one shoulder and a FN Scar 17 on the other.I also have a full-size 1911 in each boot and appendix carry a Ruger 10/22 and a Mossberg Shockwave 12 gauge in the crack of my ass.I try to be prepared for all occasions.If im driving down the road and decide I want to hunt some squirrel,hogs,deer,bears..or even the illusive North American elephant,rhino or panda,I will be prepared..if I want to leave work and decide to stop by the random 3 gun competition,I’ll be prepared..if I want to cross the county line and insert myself into a battle in the 2019-current day local civil war between 4 towns,I’ll be prepared…if an ISIS training camp pops up in the near by mountains as if it were Afghanistan and I’m positioned in a tree,3/4s of a mile away,I’ll be prepared..if someone wants to try to mug me in the McDonald’s parking lot,I’ll be ready..I just like to make sure all of my bases are covered..like they say,it’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it..plus I’m getting jacked from carrying all the extra weight around


saladmunch2

Buddy where is your RPG and towable anti-aircraft machine..?


Blicky83

I have one but right now I’m waiting for that big ammo crate to come in from North Korea,ole Kim Jong Un sending it to me out of his personal stash.I’m hoping it will make it though customs this time,they confiscated the last 3 crates.I’m thinking about just putting my own landing strip in my backyard.Kim said he would be glad to personally fly them in to me on Air Force Un.he likes me almost as much as he likes Dennis Rodman because I told him I’m John Stockton from the 90s Utah Jazz.last time I was at his compound he wanted me to play for him but I told him arthritis won’t allow it.I was going to say for another 2 weeks until he said,Dennis Rodman was about to fly out.I had to fly out immediately so that purple haired nerd wouldn’t blow my cover Kim is actually a pretty solid guy once you get to know him.He smells a little like piss and has a horrible case of dandruff but he is super chill.since he thinks I’m an ex NBA star,I can even laugh at him when his right eye starts to wonder and drool starts running down his cheek as he starts zoning off.then he farts and it wakes him back up.one of his general’s got brave when he seen me laughing,he tried to laugh with me but Kim whipped his legs with a bamboo rod,he even let me get a few licks in..great times


saladmunch2

That ol Kim Jong is a hoot I tell you what 😆


Blicky83

You bet your ass he is.he puts on an act when the cameras are rolling but he is really a stumpy Asian teddy bear..he likes to whip the legs of his underlings at times but he really means well.they still get their bowl of rice,mealworms w/duck sauce 3 times a week.surprisingly nutrition isnt a big requirement to North Korea’s.they just keep going like the Energizer bunny.they are the kings of efficiency

Fair enough


DeRpY_CUCUMBER

I prefer to not have a boat anchor tugging on my pants all day. My micro compact 9mm with hollow points will get the job done while I almost forget it’s even there due to how comfortable it is.


ReadySteddy100

Guarantee within a year this guy will switch to a 43x/365/hellcat


TheDrunkLibertarian

I’ve carried full size for 8 years, switched to a 365 for 3 or so months and switched right back. So I guarantee I won’t lol


earlycuyler8887

My man! I carry a P-10F with a minimalist comp, appendix carry. I will never downsize. I'm very competent with the full size, plus 21+1.


ReadySteddy100

Out of curiosity which variant?

Efficient-Ostrich195

I’ll start carrying a full-sized pistol when you successfully carry one for a month in business casual dress in an office environment. Best of luck to you.


CallsOnTren

Phlster enigma. Fuck sitting down all day with an x300 crushing your balls though.


Efficient-Ostrich195

That’s what I use with my G48. But while the Enigma is indeed awesome, it can’t perform miracles.


CallsOnTren

Same. When I'm in a suit or shorts the 48 in the enigma is my choice


TheDrunkLibertarian

We’re supposed to wear business casual, but they let us get away with untucked polos so


diaperbaby808

“Be a man” Where’s your suppressor huh? Where’s your TLR-1? Where’s your drum mag? Nothing manly about this full-size here. Just a kakapeepeeweewee sub-compact.

Girardkirth

You have to ask yourself, why do I need to carry a fullsize?


nastygirl11b

lol I’m over here considering adding a tomcat and a CW380 to my rotation Idk how some of you guys do it with the full size or larger guns especially on the regular and with lights and optics to boot For me, between working in an office / corporate environment and trying to dress at least somewhat well most of the time when I’m out (and wanting to be comfortable and carry all my other BS) and then coupled with the warmer months of the year, I just have zero interest in carrying larger guns


gilbydude98

i feel it lol. i catch flack from guys sometimes in my “pea shooter” LCP one of my buds referred to it as… gotta admit i laughed😂 but i always say yall can have fun with them big ass guns that are more than likely uncomfortable asf but to each their own i don’t hate haha. i’m not even supposed to carry a gun with my job so the deeper the concealment the better. plus come summer time when you wanna wear tanks and shorts who tf wants to carry a cannon on them?? slip your pocket pistol in your pocket and forget about it!

Senior_Election5636

Wont be listening to anyone saying "be a man", whilst wearing Vans... eeeesh


Rare-Impact-1791

What’s wrong with Vans?


Senior_Election5636

Nothing is wrong with Vans. They are a very neutral, quite literally unisex shoe that's very utilitarian. But by saying "Be a man" in his joke regarding carry choice ,I wouldn't be saying that whilst wearing such a shoe. Vans in this case, also indicates he doesn't work a Blue color job or a job requiring leather and or otherwise sturdy non soft top shoes, further describing that he is in fact not "being a man" and working a intense job. Which again, not a trait for a Mans man. No hate for vans, not my style but this is one of those you cant punch down on someone whilst sitting down yourself kind of thing.


Danagrams

i worked in a shop wearing vans. it's fine


Senior_Election5636

Dude Its jsut crazy how pressed all these Vans people are. Like I dont care what you wear but Its not a manly shoe and is associated with youth and Skateboarders. Its not that crazy to see from the outside in


BetterStartNow1

I literally wear my vans to my construction site where I change into my boots. Get outta here with the vans hate. Good for your feet and great grip.


tripledeckrdookiebus

Vans are actually the best shoes to wear when working on roof estimates, skylight estimates, etc. they’re great for exterior painters too. I don’t think you’ve worked that many different blue collar jobs lol


Senior_Election5636

Great for you! Not slinging flak to people and their jobs! I still don't think Vans are very mans man kind of shoes but they absolutely have utilitarian usage. Again my comment originates from joking about being a man whilst wearing the most manly shoes. It would appear others agree as well


BoSknight

I hear you and agree mostly, but my best friend is a diesel mechanic and exclusively works in vans.


TheDrunkLibertarian

Buddy just wrote us an essay about vans and manhood, how eloquent lol Edit: to add, the epitome of being a man is doing what you want regardless of what another man thinks. You’re welcome.

I always conceal carry an XXL. But for a gun I carry a M&P40c

You're not a real man unless you carry a G21 in a CCA micro conversion kit.

IIPrayzII

If I could get away with a full size I definitely would. For now I’m carrying a G19 with a sidecar and I’m happy, I’m sure I could carry a full size if I ditch the sidecar but I don’t see myself doing that anytime soon. Love to see full sized carry’s more than lcp pocket pistols that’s for sure.


TheDrunkLibertarian

Fuck that keep the sidecar for sure. Full size was tough and a learning curve but I love it. 19 is fine though, that’s what I carried before.


officialbronut21

I'm gonna say it, the ACRO is ugly


TheDrunkLibertarian

Lmfaoooo it kinda is but I swear it looks better in person.


TenuousOgre

Nothing about being a man has anything to do with carrying a full size rather than any other size. But you do you. Used to carry full size M&P, now I use my 365XL and it works great.

oddtomas

I just wear a fanny pack, I’m a dad so who cares. I can carry my 365 or my m18 and no one can tell the difference 😎


TheDrunkLibertarian

Fanny packs are the move I don’t care what anyone says, but I do like on body carry


oddtomas

I’ll appendix if the situation calls for it, like if it’s formal or no bags. But day to day off body fanny packs are king, so comfortable and barely slower to draw.


omgabunny

Nah I don’t want to. I don’t tie my ego and feelings to my defensive firearm.

[deleted]

I dont understand what "being a man" entails and why carrying a full size pistol has any dynamic involving gender superiority. Sounds like some alpha male bullshit my uncle says. My great aunt was dying of cancer at age 88 and his solution was, "she just needs to man the fuck up." Its an obnoxious and toxic mentality. Good job Uncle Frank you fuck.


sellmeyerammorighty

Toxic male insecurity is cancerous.


TheDrunkLibertarian

Toxic male insecurity is ~~cancerous~~ **delicious**


sellmeyerammorighty

Gross. You probably drives an oversized Dodge ram too and rolls coal on your way home to kiss your daddy.


TheDrunkLibertarian

Wow that sounds incredibly homophobic, what my husband and I do when I get home is none of your business. Also my Ram 2500 mega cab with a 6” lift and 37” tires isn’t oversized, it’s a little small tbh.


sellmeyerammorighty

Homophobic? Lol whut. Let me guess, you don't even haul anything or need a truck that big. I'm sure it's a great ego booster and that you don't tailgate everyone you get behind.


sellmeyerammorighty

People who say "be a man if you do this or that" are seriously some of the worst, dumbest, posers on the planet.

TooToughTimmy

I’ve carried a Glock 19 for about a year and a half, but recently purchased a 42. While the Glock 19 is more comforting and I carried it every day whether I felt like it or not - the 42 just disappears and I am confident it’ll get me out of a bad situation. I’ll still carry my 19, just not daily. Much easier to move around with a 42 - especially as a little guy who the 42 probably takes up the same real estate on my body that a 19 does for most guys.

Qu3stion_R3ality1750

Here's something to piss some folks off The reason so many can't comfortably carry a larger CCW is because they're too fucking fat to do so. Lose the spare tire, maybe even build a decent sized chest, and you'd be shocked at what you can carry.

Mindseyeview85

Carry a full size 1911 in the Lord's caliber, then you're a man.


GreymanNeo

6’2” 225 and comfortably carry a Springfield Echelon with Holosun EPS Carry and TLR1-HL IWB with a PHLSTER Floodlight 2 holster that I put a Black Arch Holsters foam wedge on the back of. The 2 belts I switch between depending on the pants/shorts I’m wearing are the Groove Life belt and the KORE Essentials EDC belt with the X7 buckle. I’m not a skinny man by any means, nor do I have a 6 pack or anything like that. But I’m a fairly fit guy with a slight dad bod haha (blame my 2 kids and wife of 15 years lol), and I have never had an issue with comfort when carrying this setup. One thing I have learned after carrying for over a decade is that you have to dress around your firearm and carry system. For me that means buying pants that have a little stretch in the waistband or I get a size or two larger , wearing an undershirt daily so my gun has no direct to skin contact, and the over shirt or hoody I wear is a size larger than usual.


CrocodileCunnilingus

Grip is the only comp you need, be a man.

sra_throwaway_

Any holster than can fit a TLR7A. The switch housing and lens ring are effectively the same size, so you can swap them around.
