    Default need ideas for a summer carry setup

    My normal carry rig is a glock 30/ XD subby in a liberty holsters IWB, I have been helping buddies move these past couple weekends and holy shit is it hot. I am thinking I need something that can go in a pocket so I can wear just an under shirt when it is stupid hot out. I have looked online at the LC9 an airweight revolver in .38 + p or .357 and stuff like that.
    What are you guys carrying during the summer in the pocket size.

    My other issue is wanting to be able to test drive them to see how well it fits my complete lack of hips and keeps the pants up. My normal belt is a wilderness so I have the support in the belt dept. My normal pants are boot cut relaxed fit blue jeans so I have a decent front pocket size with a couple pair of woolrich tactical but they are way to hot to even attempt.

    I carry a lcp 380 It's the smallest lightest one out there. I use a uncle mikes size 36 in the rt front pocket. the holster is for a bigger gun but it allows me to tuck the slide part of the gun under the inside of the pocket. It is comfortable because it holds the pistol from going to the bottom of the pocket.

    I looked at the lcp but am want to use 9mm as my minimum caliber. but if nothing else will seem to work I will go the lcp route.

    We can trade your Glock for my BUG (Beretta Jetfire) for the summer. I don't mind carrying a man gun

    Might consider it was hoping to stay in the 9mm + region.

    I will have to wait until the xd gets back with my roommate from yellowstone so I have a big boy gun for home defense besides the AR

    Yeah its a bit smaller than a 9mm but you'll be able to get a feel for the size of a pocket gun, how to carry it (I had to rearrange the chit in my pockets a few times to find something that worked well), etc. Although, I read an article about a study and the .25 and 9 weren't very different in the results... http://buckeyefirearms.com/node/7866
