EDC Options

[xb12s]

I have a three tiered approach:

CM9 for when I can only front pocket carry.

Shield for easy on/off EDC when I know I'll be disarming such as going to work.

G19 when I don't anticipate I'll be disarming and will be out and about more though that may get relegated to house duty and the Shield will become my primary EDC.

This is pretty close to accurate for me as well. The only substitution I'd make is an M&P9c for the G19. Or to go one step further since we don't have to own it, a Burwell or Bowie Tactical modified M&P9 FS with chopped frame to make the grip length shorter to accept compact magazines for better concealment.

For me it is:

Springfield XDs
Kimber Crimson Ultra Carry II
Sig P938

How is your P938 working for you? I know they had issues early on, I bought one a couple months back but not confident in it yet. I've only shot a few clips through it, seems like it fails to load the first round in the chamber on occassion, was playing with it the other day and it seems that when 6 bullets are in the clip, the last one in doesn't want to sit level with the others, it's a bit nose high which I think causes it to not load right all the time. May just be a clip issue, need to pick up a spare clip and try it. Just curious if you've had issues. Of the XDS and 938, which one do you conceal more easily or carry easier? I've got both and just got my CHL so trying to find a comfortable way to carry, waiting on a crossbreed holster to come in.
