Conceal Carry .45 Handgun

[IndyGunSafety]

Springfield XDs or EMP. EMP comes in .40 or 9mm.

I carry a Springfield Armory Micro Compact , if the .45 slug doesn't stop them, the muzzle blast will set on fire and loudness of it will deafen 'em

Para P12. Nothing you can get readily these days; but look at a Warthog. 12+1, 3.5 barrel, disappears on me, ymmv.

 

[Spazstick87]

i cc a springfield compact .45. The 4 inch barrel and the compact grip really help to conceal the weapon.

 

[Claddagh]

Although my usual CCW is a Springfield Champion, I've found that with some wardrobe accomodations (like buying my tousers one size larger in the waist), a high-quality dual layer belt and the right IWB holster I can conceal even my CZ 97B with adequate discretion and carry it with reasonable comfort whenever I choose. OMMV.

 

[Birds Away]

Sig P220 Compact would be my choice.

In fact I think I just may get me one!

I've been looking very hard at these lately. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I look the price stays the same. Too bad CZ doesn't make a compact .45.

I'm here in Ft Wayne and have a few you can handle or shoot if you want. I have:

HK45C - .45ACP
Springfield Micro Compact - .45ACP
Beretta PX4 Sub Compact in .40 S&W

My EDC is the HK45C and I carry IWB at 4:00

Do you like your Beretta sub compact?

Do you like your Beretta sub compact?

It's butt-ugly, but it is a great piece. Flawless in feed and function. It carries well and the recoil isn't bad at all. I like the weapon, but I'm not a big fan of the .40 S&W. The main reason I bought it was because it looks like a pit bull on steroids. It's so ugly that it's pretty.

I totally understand what you mean about the ugly/pretty part. I bought one in 9mm and was suprised about how much I like it. People are always curious when they see it.

Another choice is a Bersa UC45. Those are nice guns and you rarely hear of problems with them. I've had one for a while and have had no complaints.

I carry a lightweight Colt Commander 1911 in .45. Pretty easy to conceal with a crossbreed supertuck holster

Excited to be here!

I carry a Kimber Ultra TLE II with laser grips.

I carry a XD Compact .45. With the shorter grip frame and 10 rnd short magazine, it is just slightly larger than a G19. Other possibilities include a G30, G36 or the new XDs single stack .45.

 

[snowwalker]

Not being a 1911 fan, I carry a Kahr CW45 or a Glock 36. They are much lighter than a 1911 and carry better.

 

[indiucky]

I am getting ready to "pull the trigger" on a Thunder Ranch Smith and Wesson 22-4. I know it's not a 1911 or a Kahr but the OP did say ".45 Handgun". It's an N frame revolver, fixed sight, 4 inch barrel hunk of burning love. I can't wait. Now...If I can only find some stag grips....

 

[JettaKnight]

Do you like your Springfield, otherwise?

I have a XD40SC that can conceal pretty easily. The shorter grip makes the difference, along with a good holster.

I also know some folks that conceal a full-sized XD, so maybe a different holster would help you?

I carry my XD45 in a Crossbreed IWB holster. It's comfortable and concealable.

I'll grant you the "lighter" part of your statement.

 

[drysdaleg]

I have an xd40 with a 4" that I OC. But I also can cc it very easy

 

[Armed-N-Ready]

Try the XD-S. It's my new EDC.
