Whatcha Rockin’ for a Carry Gun and Nightstand Gun?

[Rimfire Fanatic]

Currently, my bedside gun is a Ruger RXM with WML. I am prepping a Smith and Wesson 1st Gen SW40F to be a carry gun for most seasons. I am waiting on a set of night sights for it. For the hot weather this summer, I have an Sig P365. It is so small and shoots great. It has night sights from the factory.

The RXM only set me back $369.00 new late last year at Cascade Farm and Outdoor (R.I.P.) all in.
The Sigma was $250.00 bucks from an auction.

The Sig P365 was $450.00 last summer brand new, out the door, at Cabela’s/Bass Pro. I still have to get a good leather IWB holster for it and renew my permit in a month or so.

The RXM is the nightstand gun because it will work with my light and has 15 round capacity. The S&W is my number one choice for carry due to the caliber, capacity, and the in expense LE Winchester Ranger T’s that I can get for carry.

Well ST, you’ve seen my size. I am tall AND fat. I can conceal full size pistols wil ease. But, summers are a different story.

That Sig P365 was purchased for my wife, but she is more comfortable with revolvers. Hence, the S&W 60LS that I got her last Christmas. It is small. The barrel I 2 or 2 1/4 inches, I really can’t recall now.

I will use the P365 as it is small, so small. I don’t look like I’m packin with it, even with shots and a T Shirt. It will fit in a pocket or IWB. I still prefer a PPK, but I am without one at present. That small gun fits my hand perfectly, although the Sig is the better choice.

I find the standard P365 to be an odd size - too big for a pocket pistol or wallet gun - and too small to carry on your hip. My LCP Max are quite a bit smaller, and the Shield Plus a bit larger. My SIG P365 XXL is about the size of a Glock 19.

Mine os just perfect with the 12 round mags.

That's why they come in so many sizes, because people are so many different sizes. I'm 5-5 on my tippy toes, and standing next to you I look like Teddy Ruxpin, or Ted.

The 10 round mags get stuck on my palm when I eject them. The 12 rounders are the sweet spot for “in the gun”, and 17 rounders on the belt.

I went on Bi-mart website for s minute and couldn't find what they must call this type of clothing - I tried gun vest, carry wear, tactical, etc.. So here is a copy of the label, maybe that'll help.

@SuperTrooper that P320C up top now resides with my son down in Cottage Grove, along with 9 factory 15 round mags and a half dozen ETS 15 round mags and 6 ETS 30 rounders.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I may as well, I mean I get accused of being a Fudd anyway!
