Shot my new (to me) Glock 23 last weekend and deemed it ready for duty as my EDC.
Its been a week, and I'm carrying it in a simple one clip leather IWB that Ill eventually swap out for a CompTac or FightnGear rig when money permits. I'm kind of kicking myself now....I'd been toting some massive pieces, such as a 4506 and up until last week, a 686 in an IWB.
Granted, with good holsters, they carried well, but damn, Im kind of pissed at my reluctance all this time to carry a Glock. I know Clint Smith said a gun should be comforting, not comfortable, but that's just crazy talk - I feel both comforted and comfortable with this little black Lego block.
That 686 is still going to pull duty as a motorcycle rig and house gun, but its not something that I really wanted to carry every day -- and we all know that's a massive factor in carrying concealed is choosing a weapon that you WILL carry every day.
I am aware that I am talking things most already know here, but jeez, I thought I was smart...you really CAN have it all in a small, lightweight gun.
DUH.
