    First was a Glock 19 Gen 2 in a RCS Vanguard 2 AIWB, later upgraded to a CCC Shaggy. Then a P30 in a JMCK AIWB, followed by a P226 in a JMCK, then back to a Glock 19 but in a Keeper. Stayed Glock but went to a Glock 17 in an Eidolon, changed holsters to a JRC CDA-II, then a DSG Orion. Went to a P30 in a 5-Shot Leather SME, then recently transitioned to an optics ready P320 in a Tenicor Velo.

    I bounced around way too much, but the 320s are the gun for the foreseeable future. The one update I see is an MRDS, hopefully this year.

    In the 90’s, it was a Wilderness belt, and a Glock 23 in a Mad Dog IWB Kydex holster.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    My first carry gun was a Springfield 1911 Gov worked over by Wayne Novak’s shop in a Milt Sparks roadrunner holster sparks belt and mag pouch. Then I decided I wanted to be a police officer and I figured I would not be able to carry a 1911 on duty; so I switched to a Glock 21 in a Kramer IWB, belt and mag pouch. The first time I put the Glock in the Kramer holster I couldn’t get it back out. I learned to put the handgun in a ziploc bag and oil the outside of the bag when I get a new Kramer holster. Greg Hamilton showed me how to press the welt of a Kramer holster against a table to loosen it up when new. Then I got hired as a police officer and was issued a Colt 1911. I ordered a sparks 55BN straight drop and a heritage IWB when I got my first paycheck. Next I bought two Kramer pocket holsters for a S&W 642. Eventually I traded the Glock 21 for a Glock 19 in a Kramer IWB.

    Been carrying concealed since 1970 when I became a LEO. First CCW I carried was a Charter Arms Undercover 38, sold to me by an old beat cop.

    Since then it's been a long trail. My second CCW was a Smith 19 2.5". Today it is either a Kimber K6s 2" that I love or a Springfield EMP 4" which I enjoy immensely.

    I have a K9 Kahr that while heavy is a tremendous shooter. Carry a reload for each weapon and a pocket knife by Kershaw..

    I have a new Colt Cobra and it is packed in winter when the clothing is a bit more concealing as the only grip I like on the Cobra is Hogue either rubber or wood. The 19 has been retired.

    PS: I really enjoy the Cobra, need a IWB for it.

    Carried Bianchi exclusively for decades as they always had left handed rigs in stock. Milt Sparks later on and today Crossbreed, Lobo and a couple JIT slides from Don Hume.

    I turned 21 in 1982 and obtained a carry permit. My first rig was a S&W M13 carried in a Bianchi pistol pocket - Model 3S.

    Stock Colt Combat Commander in a Tommy Pack. Eventually I picked up a Don Hume IWB for it.

    1995: Weigand Combat Ruger SP-101 "Tame the Beast" in a Kramer IWB#2 on a Kramer belt. Bianchi speed-strip in left-side (weak) front pocket.

    2000: Robar Colt Lightweight Stainless Commander in a variety of holsters, culminating in a Sparks VM-2 on a Kramer belt. Dual Galco magazine pouch.

    1990 - S&W 4506 in a Bianchi thumbreak of some sort, spare mag in a Safariland "clip" (if you saw it, you would know what I mean."
    1993'ish - .45 Stainless Colt Combat Commander in a Bianchi IWB, think it was called the "pistol pocket" but would swear to it, spare mag in a leather Bianchi pouch. Later switched to an OWB Bianchi Askin's Avenger (Milt Sparks 55BN clone.)
    1994/1995 - .45 blued Colt Gov't in a Milt Sparks 55BN w/matching dual mag pouch on my first honest-to-God gun belt, a Mitch Rosen offering that would work today if it hadn't mysteriously shrunk. Sometimes used a Mitch Rosen ARG when I wanted lower-profile, as well as a first run of his Surefire 6P/magazine pouch (think Spier Off Side?).

    Those years were interspersed with Browning Hi-Powers (9mm & .40), S&W K-frames of various flavors, then to a Glock 35, then a Glock 19, and now a S&W 9mm Shield in a JM Custom Kydex OWB more often than not. Somewhere in there was a CZ-75B.

    Waiting on a 9mm Nighthawk GRP Commander, already have a Milt Sparks Summer Special II for it, just need to order a JM Custom Kydex OWB, some matching kydex mag pouches because JM really makes superb products, and I'll have come nearly full circle.
