    Just curious what others thoughts were for IWB carry. I have owned a bunch but these are my Top 3.

    1. Glock 26 - Hands down my favorite. Fits like an extension of my hand and I shoot it the best of them all. Super accurate and super reliable.
    2. XDS 45 - Very manageable recoil for such a small gun in .45. Quite accurate as well.
    3. Kahr CM/PM 9 - Never had a reliabilty issue. Very accurate and disappears in the waist band

    What say you?

    There are plenty of threads on here expressing the same concern, I suggest you try the "Search" function.
    Man, I can't believe some people????

    Sig 238/ 938, XDS, EMP/ 3 or 4" 1911.

    Wait that's more than 3.

    My 238 gets the most use when it's hot out, less holster material to make me sweat.

    Somewhere, out there.
    1. My S&W 442 sees the most action. I wear it all the time. I might even name it...
    2. My PPK/s I wear when Im feeling frisky, or I know I wont be sitting down and getting up a lot.
    3. I've only ever carried two?

    G26 Winter
    XDS 9 Summer
    P380 for the pocket

    Im interested why the 26 in the winter and xds9 in the summer. The 26 is both smaller and lighter. I know its a bit thinner but enough difference to give up a few rounds?

    For IWB, I only have 2 that I've carried consistently over the years: G26 and J-Frame. Tied for 3rd would be the P938 and PM9.

    For my build & normal dress the XDS is easier to conceal. The XDS is .97" total width & .90" for just the slide. It is the same width as the Kahr CM9 which I had. The Kahr CM9 was the only gun I would actually forget I was wearing. The problem was I shot it 2" to 5" low in rapid fire situations of 10yrds or more. Add in the cover up what you want to hit "sight picture" & I would have to aim significantly higher then where I wanted the shot to go. It annoyed the shit out of me. I was sick & tired of hitting the bottom of 8" bulls eyes. :mmph:

    I almost bought the XDS 45 instead of the 9mm but I am not sure I want that small of a 45. If I feel the need to carry a 45 I will just pack my Glock 30.

    The Glock 26 is 1.18" wide & the weight loaded between it & the XDS is negligible. Now the XDS is good bit heavier then the Kahr CM9

    Full size S&W M&P9, all day everyday. Yep, it is a might heavy for CC but I'm used to it and that's what I carry.
    Little Jacks (Nate) showed me his M&P Shield and I may consider buying one; it and the Bersa BC9 CC would be my choice for a smaller, more compact carry weap.... JMO
