Front pocket (winter and summer) is a Mini-Griptilian Benchmade 557 with tanto blade and deep pocket clip.
Summer is the .45 Bond Arms in my front pocket and the .380 in my back pocket.
Hard to conceal the 1911 in the summer and I positively hate IWB carry for a 1911, which is really the only viable carry for a 1911 in the summer.
By modified (.45 ACP Bond Arms), I mean that the front sight has been milled off, the hard corners have been buffed smooth. the trigger guard removed and the trigger has been worked.
All of which voids the hell out of the warranty, but makes it a dream to carry in a shorts pocket or jeans pocket and extremely easy to get to.
And, of course, I always have my other Benchmade, a Mini-Grip 555 with a deep carry clip.
I don't have a lot of faith in the .380, as far as range, but for up close (which is where most self-defense situations occur), I can make it count.
The derringer, in .45 ACP is a hell of a knockdown and so easily concealed that I almost forget about it.
I'm sure some lib/progressive would look at me and faint, if they knew what I was carrying at any given time, but I am concerned about myself and any loved one I may have with me at the time.
My wife knows the location of every weapon on my body, and while I don't think she has it in her to grab the Mini-Grip and start hacking someone, should I go down, she certainly has the presence of mind to find and deploy one of my firearms.
And she has been well trained by me on them.
She don't like them, but she recognizes them for what they are: a tool that one really doesn't want to have to use.
As for me on a personal level...I've only had to defend myself twice and no shots were fired in either case.
I did hit one guy in the mouth with the 1911...which effectively stopped his aggression and made him drop the piece of iron scrap he was holding.
No damage to the weapon by his teeth.
Responding police thanked me for getting the fool off the street, even if temporarily.
So, that's my story on a boring Sunday morn...and I'm sticking to it.
Concealed weapon carry is a huge responsibility and should be done with thought and foresight.
No one agrees on the best gun to carry, the best tactical knife to carry, methods of concealment, deployment, etc.
Bottom line is, do what you are comfortable with, to include turning your back and walking off.
I do not seek to hurt anyone, but if pressed to defend myself, I will eliminate the threat in whatever way I can.
That's not posturing, not braggadocio, no bullshit, just fact...and may be the reason that I've made to my "advanced" age of about 62 or so, in one piece.
Nice, good luck and happy trails.
