OC'ing Gun Sizes. How small???

[Compuvette]

I OC my Walther PPS. I got the slim PPS mostly because CCing a full size XDm would be... difficult. I find that even when OCing, the PPS is significantly more comfortable when I'm in the car! Another reason to OC a small pistol is in the situation where you prefer to OC but CC occasionally. It is very nice (familiarity, training, etc.) to use the same weapon for both cases.

These are valid points. Plus, if you wanted to switch from OC to CC you could probably un-tuck your shirt with a compact sidearm and you would be "CC".

i OC my Colt Government 380 from time to time...

I carry a Full Size Auto, whether I am OC or CC...

 

[Jack Burton]

I OC my keltec P-32 everyday...

 

[Birds Away]

Oh, so now size does matter?

 

[wizard_of_ahs]

I think the smallest OC gun would be the NAA 22 LR revolver in their custom "holster" belt buckle.

Oh, so now size does matter?

What's the point?

Small guns trade off shootability, sight radius/accuracy, capacity, and sometimes reliability for ease of concealment. If you OC, you're trading off those things for no apparent reason.

Unless that's what fits your hand, you are comfortable with it you shoot it well. Also, if it's the only one you got and believe in advocating OC. My girlfriend carried a P238 openly everywhere except work. I OC my SP2022 fairly regularly...

Size doesn't matter as long as you know to operate it and can do it effectively.

Size has always mattered...

 

[cesna250]

I OC a Glock 26. I won't go any smaller than that.

So my wife has been lying to me?

 

[You'll shoot your eye out]

If I OC'd one of my typical carry guns then instead of scaring women they would twitter and giggle. I am lately carrying a Ruger sp101. I would OC that one but only because it's a magnum. (it's not the size of the swizzle stick, but how hard you stir). If I was OC'ing I would go ahead and load on the .45. If It is hanging out already I might as well be bold and pack some pig-iron.

Only to make you feel better about yourself...

Personally, you should smack her for knowing the difference...

 

[CPT Nervous]

I have seen a PF9 OCed. I OC my G19, nothing smaller. I would carry a G17. but I shoot the G19 better.

Even SBPD carries compacts. Sig P229 .40.

And I will NEVER carry a 1911A1 full stop.

What's that?

OC-ing an LCP

Guy was kinda a tool

lives in Illinois.

If this is the same guy I *think* it is...I've argued with him before about carry method of 1911s.
First I was all , and he was all but all I heard was .

Then I said and he just so I .

Whatevs. I know who is right.

 

[BowhuntnHoosier]

My opinion is carry what you shoot well and carry it however you like. And thats just about all I have to say on the matter.

 

[VERT]

Know a guy that OCs a little Beretta 32acp. With the leather holster it looks like most anything else that would hang on belt. Kind of hides in plain site.

 

[tr1gg3r]

This one time, on tv, I saw a guy OCing an LCP in Broad Ripple.

 

[SaintsNSinners]

I OC and CC an XDSC and an XDm 3.8

 

[jeremy]

I want to OC a Ma Deuce...
