New potential EDSC (Everyday Summer Carry)

[Il Duce]

Got this in a straight trade today for my Springer GI. It is a S&W M&P45.

When I saw "summer carry", I thought "oh great, probably another .380 thread." That's a sweet gun for a lightweight piece. What's your winter carry? An AR-10?

Hee hee hee!

Very nice. I've got the 4" M&P45 inbound.

I've been playing with one of the 4" versions in the store and it is about the nicest feeling .45 I've handled. Feels identical in the hand to my 9mm fullsize. Not something many guns can claim. good choice.

I know I was definately thinkin pocket gun or compact 9mm. Summer carry with a full size 45

What type of clothing does he wear (baggy pants and loose shirt on a hot summers day)? I'm in shorts and t-shirt...no way I can carry that but hey more power to ya if you can why not

I think I played with the same gun yesterday, and I'm in love. Gotta shoot one soon.

+1; nothing wrong with carrying full-size. This just wasn't what you normally see as a "summer carry". In fact it's superior....

Absolutely. My experience is that those who want to carry a full size weapon have made the commitment to carry, which is what it takes.
