myself I carry the Bersa Thunder .45 Ultra Compact in a IWB Don Hume. Currently looking into the Vega shoulder holster, but finding it damn difficult to locate locally.
Although I'm a 1911 fan and own several, I tend to favor my Kahr P45 as a carry gun. I like the fact that it's Double Action Only (DAO)...no safety to worry with. I have a variety of covert carry holsters to match dress/attire. Light, concealable, simple, accurate. It's my top pick.
Kimber Pro CDP (Series 1), condition 1, Federal 230gr HST (not +P). Rafter S IWB, 4.30 or so. Wilson 47D and/or CMC Power Mags. 1 mag in the gun, 2 spares offside in Safariland CD magholders. Surefire Outdoorsman light and Emerson Commander round out the load.
I did however goto the local gun shop and check out a few .45's none of which i just had to have. There was a .40 S&W that fit nicely. Well for me it did, since i am a lefty (as my other thread states) I could actually work it with just my left hand without straining fingers. But i decided to keep looking since it was in the $550 range.
Thanks for all that have responded to my threads, your responses help out greatly.
