Room in-between?

Like many guys I have a good carry piece, actually a G30s (exactly the same size as a G19), and a pocket piece .380. Like Goldilocks story it sometimes seems things are just not quite right. Sometimes it's too big and bulky, others it's a little small and too hard to control. It's more psychological, comfort in being suitably armed for the given situation, almost subliminal.

Do you guys have a in-between, that carries like you can forget it's there, yet is big enough to afford control under less than ideal conditions? No wrong choices, it's subjective. Keeping the two, is there a justification for a third? The photo does not do justice, one drops in a pocket (12-14 oz.), the other won't (1.5-2 lbs). Maybe I'm just a hopeless gun nut that cannot be satisfied.

For serious carry they are the most confidence instilling rigs, or a high capacity 9mm these days. But without special consideration they pull down my drawers. I have no butt or hips to hold my belt up.

Kangaroo carry makes this rig I absolutely love and use often. Essentially a "belly band" that caries high and has an additional shoulder strap support. Heck of an idea for seated travel. I can go use the bathroom and don't worry about dropping anything. However if you stand on your head it can fall out unless you use the provided velcro strap! I roll the Lg model up like a sock and pin it to use for a teeny .380, or full length for up to a 6" gun.

I like it at least. I like the idea of these new age teeny 9mm, also the less buttons and levers the better for me.

Or wear suspenders ... :)

Truly I find belt carry while walking a bit troublesome. I actually prefer Gary's Goerg shoulder holsters to all others. The Uncle Mikes Bandelero style really is good for the money but I've dropped guns out of them and they can chafe my neck.

Short distances belt carry is fine or if I make some prep. to do it. I'm just always pulling up my britches.

concealed carry. The best seller we have and have had for well over a year is the Taurus G2C. It comes in several colors, plus two toned. The gun is in 9mm. It functions flawlessly, never a hitch, has a life time warranty from Taurus and sells for under $250. The absolute best buy on the market. It is the same height and length as the Glock 19 but about half as wide. A little over the width of your finger.

This is the best selling pocket gun for concealed carry. We can't keep these in stock. It is again a Taurus. I have had guys who don't know their ass from 3rd base, yet they know everything, come in the shop and scoff at the Taurus guns, saying they are junk and made in Brazil, then they turn around and but a Springfield Armory which is also made in Brazil or one of the European Sigs. Obviously they are rejects from the third grade.

Anyway this little gun is the Spectrum in 380. Great little gun and fits right in your pocket.And like the G2C above it sells for under $250. Absolutely reliable and never a problem. Guys buy them for their wives and I had a fellow come in and buy 4 of them for each daughter and his wife.

The last of our 3 top sellers is the S&W Shield in 9mm. This model comes with a build in laser. It is small and easily carried in a pocket.
