All right, I try to do these once a year. Last year's (on totse) didn't get much response.
What's your favorite sidearm? What do you usually carry on you? What firearm never leaves your side?
I usually carry my S&W 1911 in .45 caliber on me. Yeah, it's big and bulky but it's surprisingly easy to conceal if you have the right holster. I also have a Glock 21 in .45 but I don't usually carry it. It's actually a friend of mine's. I also have a itty bitty AMC .380 back up I carry on my leg sometimes if I need the extra firepower.
What kind of holsters do you like/use? Where do you wear it? Do you tilt it in any way?
I usually carry my 1911 in an IWB holster. It's like the crossbreed holsters but made by a different company. It actually conceals my 1911 really good and allows me to tuck my shirt in if I need to. I also have a really nice OWB holster for it too. Made by Galco. I usually wear it on my strong side hip but sometimes I wear it behind my hip bone on my strong side. Both of these holster tilt forward about 45 degrees (like the FBI). I like this better, it seems easier to draw for my than straight up and seeing as I like my holster high on my hip, it's actually better for me.
I have a paddle holster for the Glock but I really carry my Glock so not much to comment on here. It actually allows different levels of tilt but, like I said before, I tilt mine forward. For my .380 I have a really neat ankle holster, nothing special though. I usually wear it on my left ankle because it seems easier to draw for me. I am right handed.
What kind of bullets do you carry? Is you gun single/double/DOA? What kind of safeties does your sidearm have? Do you carry one in the tube?
I carry hollow points in all my pistols. My gun is single action so I usually have one in the tube with the hammer cocked back. My gun has three safeties: a beaver tail (I love these!), a slide stop, and a safety on the hammer that keeps it from firing if you don't pull the hammer back all the way. This prevents misfires from slippage of the hammer. Like I said before, I carry my pistol fully loaded with a bullet in the tube and the hammer pulled back so my slide stop safety is engaged. I find it easier to flip my safety down than pull my hammer back.
What about you Zoklet?
I will post pictures later seeing as I'm at work right now and can't.
