New to S&W. Originally a Glock guy but I think it’s time to move on. First will be a Bodyguard 2.0 comp. 43x is a solid piece but I’m looking for something a little smaller yet keeping the same mag capacity (NY unfortunately) IWB/pocket carry, minimal as possible.

Read up that it’s picky with ammo? Someone enlighten me please? And also to get with safety or not ?

Pic of what I carry daily. In the bag is a tourniquet, band aids, hi-chews, spare "don't slap a bitch pillows", Spiderco para 2, and a spare mag.

I have a certum 4 (Glock 17 length). I love it. It really isn’t THAT uncomfortable. I kinda want something that make the bottom more comfortable. Why not. It doesn’t hurt to help it conceal a little more either.

"49x," Shadow Scarab, Cosmos mini, and some Amazon stuff

In 2021 I was treated and diagnosed with PTSD. Took medication for a year. I wasn’t in a mental hospital or anything I just spoked to a therapist and that’s what they told me I had.

I haven’t had any issues since then and my criminal record is clean.

I didn’t lie on my application but just hoping to hear of success stories.

I like to use my NF sling bag for G19.5 with eps carry, tlr7x and tenicor holster. The bag doesn’t have a velcro like other ccw bags in the market. The best option is the neo mag hook and loop belt setup but NF don’t have the velcro. Any ideas or other alternative options?

My EDC:

Garmin Tactix 8

Rite in the Rain Readiness Pen

Pocket Prayer bag with mini Icon and prayer rope

Benchmade Bugout S30V

Keys

HK CC9 with Tenicor Velo5. I removed one DCC clip

Zyn 9 banger (flavor of the day)

Wallet (empty)

If you had to pick a side for the day: Left or Right? (No mix and match!)

Draw an imaginary line down the middle - left or right? Rules are simple: you have to take the whole side. No mixing and matching!

Left side gets you the Kimber K6s .357 Mag and the custom slipjoint. Right side gets you the Sig Sauer P365 and the Spyderco Para 3.

Which side are you grabbing for the day?

SIG P320
Benchmade Dacian
Benchmade Mini Taggedout

Heckler & Koch CC9 12 and 10 round magazines. Leatherman Wingman, Streamlight Microstream, Bulova Automatic Skeleton 96A187

So I have a hellcat pro, couldn’t even get in car before with it in holster, finally got a decent holster that I can actually for once sit in and get out of a car with comfortably no issue. My problem is I’m not exactly fat or very chubby etc. it is the most noticeable thing ever if I am wearing a t shirt…. Obviously it’s not exactly the smallest of firearms either… lol so it’ll just have to be for under hoodies in the colder months 😂 what are some recommendations that are more lowkey for the summer months? Something reliable I won’t have any issues with. Are the m&p shields good? They seem smaller

All pretty low profile, but on some occasions it can feel like I'm endlessly stuffing my pockets.

Minus my phone, and I switch between 38 and the 380 depending on how far I am from home and how long.
