Nope; no intentions here to dump a small handgun for a big one. Two reasons: one is that I don't intend to OC except on my 80 acres, and two, I typically carry either a 4" K- or L-frame S&W. On occasion, I also carry an N-frame.

Looking at the classifieds over the last couple days and noticed a number of smaller pistols- G26, etc., actually being listed for reasonable prices and sold fast. Are guys dumping their putters and buying drivers?

It's cyclic. The guys selling their smaller guns know that people are looking for small carry guns this time of year (Summer guns). Once they sell their "little fellers", they have "play" monrey to go buy something of their choice. I sold my Walther and bought a Glock.

I doubt my gun choices or my holsters will change at all.

There are Galco and DeSantis holters ideal for belt carry in my gun box that will see use again.

When I have OCed in the past... the belt holsters got a lot of use in the cooler weather.. as as full time hard and fast cover is no longer the law here they will be used a lot. A good belt holster under the jacket is a ideal way to carry. If you use some of the older and more common ones (pancakes, thumb breaks, hi ride) they tuck in well enough to disapear when viewed from the front and tuck tight enough to make a gun grab a little harder.

My IWB holsters allow a larger gun to be semi hidden.

The more you "show" the more you're exposed and targeted. Everybody keeps bringing that up - I guess those guys only think the only open holster should look like a giant "shoot me" tumor on the hip.

I'll open carry my Kel Tec P-11 for shits and giggles to see if any little old ladies tell me how cute my 'little' gun is in the line at the grocery store after she's seen all the .45s walking around...
have you had lots of ladies tell you how cute your little gun is?
