What's your dress gun?

I have two... if we are going somewhere nice. No one will see either, but you know the old saying, if you look good, you will feel good. It's like women spending big bucks on lingerie. Only a select few get to see it, but they want the ones who do to be impressed.

The first is my old faithful Sig P220 in the Galco Miami Classic Shoulder rig. The gun and the holster were a gift from Miss T way back when. The gun shows wear these days, but the holster has held up VERY well and still looks almost new.

The other combo is the Kimber Tactical Ultra II .45. It's a bit smaller than a Combat Commander, but accurate and light, and rides in a Galco hi-ride in Mahogany. It stays flat against the body and was a favorite. After the fall in 2016, I don't put much pressure on the right hip these days, so I tend to go with the shoulder rig when rolling in the chair... I can see buying another rig for the 1911 gun, but I have a tub full of holsters I no longer use now. I'll wait and see. For now, I move the holster back in a Small of the Back position. With the low back on the new Chair... it works fine.

So... what do you carry these days as a dressy gun? In Texas, my buddies call them Bar-B-Que guns and often open carry them. Some are fully engraved or have fancy grips. I have some very nice ones, but I don't open carry.. so I don't worry about those things.

We're not allowed to play with anything sharp or noisy over here any more.

I don't wear a dress.

Allow me to rephrase...

What's your formal wear gun? Lol.

[Sir Henry]

I don't have a formal carry but if open carry was more common and acceptable I would have a 'big iron' on my hip.

Nice Beretta.

I don't do formal wear but here's my 2 Beretta's. Only have basic kydex holsters for them but would like to have a nice leather holster made for the PX4. Would have to be custom made as it now also has a laser.

If I wore a tux the carry would have to be a Walther PPK, shaken, not stirred.

If I could carry in Canada....this would be on my hip for work, weddings, job interviews, anniversaries, Christmas supper, family BBQ's, bedtime, Wal-Mart, and anywhere else you can think of, then eventually in a pine box with me just in case I need it on the other side.
