Need a concealed carry

Yea I didn’t mean I open carry. That was a poor choice of words on my part. I use a pancake holster that is hybrid that can go iwb or owb. I choose owb because it’s more comfortable for me and I can still get it under a t shirt without anyone noticing. Again that’s dependent on the pistol of choice. IWB is meant for better conceal-ability. Tighter to the body, less noticeable.

I have a .45 XDS single stack 3.3” barrel that I carry IWB. I hardly notice it’s there. I can open carry here, but I don’t want to be the first one picked off in the event some shit goes down.

I agree with crazy puss here. I carry the same gun. I'm not the biggest fan of the gun but it works. The only reason to open carry imo is if you're an attention whore.

I have not been on any Banshee site for a long time.  I have been thinking about breaking out my banshees lately and got on the site to see what's up.  With 5 pages of thoughts I don't have the hour it would take me to read it all so I will just give my opinion im sure I will be agreeing with some of you.   $200 for a shield is a good price.  Shields are great guns and if you also have a bodyguard they are a great combo since everything is in the same place.  You should always train with your CCW so its just instinct not thought.  I stated carrying in 2003.  I have many ccw's and have carried them many ways.  I am a IWB carry guy for the same reason Im am not an open carry guy.  Like locogato said I don't want to be the first one shot.  Its also why I hesitate to wear gun shirts or even camouflage.  I LOVE LOVE my sig 938. Its one of the smallest 9mm's and bullet size counts.  If I know Im going to get in a gun fight I don't go.  If I know im in a sketchy place I wear my 938 since my shot gun is to big.  Since I do my best to not put my self in that situation I find my self carrying the first CCW gun I bought a KEL TEC .380 because of its size and comfort.  I am not recommending a keltec I have maybe 10 hours of gun smithing to make it shoot every time I pull the trigger but the frame is the way to go.  I recommend the LCP frame (I have not put my hands on a LCPII but I image its that much better) for shooters or the bodyguard (just a touch bigger).  With the belt clip you don't even need a holster.  I clip mine on my waste band or my front pocket.  In your pocket it looks like a knife.  Again the sights suck on the LCP and the trigger is not great but they are not for targets they are CCW's.  Way back when they changed the laws here in Missouri I did a bunch of research on what I should get.  I am a big fan of .45's so I was leaning that way but read a forum post from an old timer and it always stuck with me. In it he wrote he felt way more safe with his .380 in his pocket than he did with his .45 in his glove box.  He went on to explain the size of his 1911 was making him take it off for comfort when driving.  He would then find him self just running in to a store "real fast" and not grabbing his gun out of laziness.  15 years after I read that I still feel it was to best advice I could have found.
