Lately I've experimenting with different types of carrying my handgun. So far I've found out that if you have the Dunlap Disease(when your belly Dun Laped over your belt) the PagerPal don't work. Ankle holsters are out. No bad guy is going to wait for you to bending over a get your gun from your ankle while his robbing you. Shoulder holsters mean you have to wear a jacket. And I sweat too much to be wearing a jacket year round. If I put it IWB small of my back, it's going to show when I sit down and my shirt rides up. (But people wouldn't be looking at my male cleavage) And I don't like fanny packs that much.
So right now my favs are, on my hip IWB. It's not bad but you have to be careful when reaching up high, cause it could show. But my favorite mode is carry either my Kel-Tec P32 or Walther PPK in a FIST pocket holster. I don't have to worry about it showing. I can even go in to a fitting room or bathroom and not worry about how to keep it from showing.
I know a lot of you guys have your CCW. I'm sure some of you guys have came up with some clever way of carrying that I wouldn't have thought of.
 
I pocket carry my P32 as well. During the winter, I will belt carry my j-frame or even my GP100 if I'm going to be outdoors and bundled up. If it's the slightest bit warm though, the P32 is in the pocket.

BTW, www.reedsammo.com has some good looking 32acp loads. I just ordered a box of the 85gr Hornady XTPs (850fps!). I already have a 60gr Gold Dot at 1000fps load...

Sorry dude
I thought since it was about carry mode and not about guns or holsters that it belonged in the Community Center. :footinmou :footinmou
So again just let me say:
I'M SORRY!!!!!!!
 
They did very well. They are plenty accurate. I had a lot of fun shooting water jugs with them. The water jugs didn't stand a chance. :D
 
Do the XTPs expand well at 850fps? I ask because the 60gr XTPs don't expand well at ~800fps.

BTW, I'm really looking forward to these now. :)

It's been almost a year since I shot the water jugs with them. But if I remember correctly, I was only able to find 1 of the fired bullets. The one I found did expand the way it should, but a small chuck of it was missing. I'm guessing it probably hit a rock in the dirt mound. I'm not a firearms expert, but it didn't look like it had seperated. It looked like it had been bend till it broke.
I really like that they group nicely. Some of the cheaper ammo I bought for the P-32 where all over the target.
 
A Bianchi PDQ, Glock 20, and a one size too large black logo T-shirt worked very well for 3 years in Texas. If I did a 90 degree bend at the waist to pick something up, I had to worry about showing but, reaching up high was never a problem. The loose fit T-shirt also prevented "outlining" or "printing" like you see so often with people using hip holsters.

It was also the fastest way to draw while seated, even belted in my car :)

That Bianchi PDQ holster is a work of functional art.
 
I too carry a P32, Its not my favorite but its the one I have ALL the time. I carry it in either a front pocket holster or a wallet holster, which ever my dress requires.

Rick, by wallet holster do you mean the type of holster with a hole in it where the trigger is and you just pull the whole package, gun and holster, and fire the gun in the holster?
I'm wanting to get one of those for my Keltec but I don't have a clue where.
Thought I'd have to make it.
Also, how do you go about getting the permit for it?
Thanks!!

I traded in my P-32 for a P-3AT last year and have never regretted it. You get significantly more firepower in the same size package. I carry mine in a Robert Mika Pocket Holster.

However, I seldom rely on a pocket gun. After a few years of wearing my H&K P7 in "tuckable" IWB kydex it feels strange not to have it on. As long as I'm not wearing a thin white shirt the P7 conceals just fine.

How does the P-3AT shoot compared to the P-32? Been thinking moving up to .380 myself.
