        I keep meaning to post in the is thread but my card case, keys, iPhone and a few coins would look slightly pointless against the shit going on above ^

        Mike, if you really are grumpy then I'm glad we live on opposite sides of the planet, where I live we don;t call that grumpy we call that psychopath  😃

              Grumpy Mike with your carries you should be Happy Mike.

              Dope stuff, was thinking of a g36 or g42 since they are nice & small & easy to conceal (funny talking about those "little weapons" with you having a Gen 4 9X19 but you know, hahahahaha)

                I take it that Mike must be in some kind of law enforcement/ military position? Perfect sense is resumed…..phew.

                  The 26 isn't that bad to conceal. I use an X-Concealment holster combined with an Ares Belt

                  Grumpy Mike, is that the FDE or the OD? Hard to tell from the photo

                  I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                      gen 4 9X19, what are your thoughts?

                      I have a 17, 19, 26 and 34 in Gen 4. I can take or leave the interchangeable backstraps, I use the medium which is the same size as the Gen 3, but Jody doesn't use a backstrap on her Gen 4 and favors that over the Gen 3. The grip texture is better, and the new mag release is worth the cost of admission

                      Other than that, its a 9mm Glock, hard to go wrong with that

                        Wow, didn't expect that response. It's cool, to each his own. I believe in having a plan and being prepared. Taking action and not fucking around was how I was raised. I'm really not a Grump these days… if anything I'm Positive Mike. It was a name that has stuck with me since High school, then Army, and now civilian life. A few of you know me here and know that I mean no harm... Mega, if you ever need anything buddy, just let me know... cheers

                          I carry outside the waistband. I just can't get into IWB unless I'm wearing sweatpants

                          If you want more stopping power, why go with a 380 with the 42?

                              You find it comfortable on the IHB-02? I find it flops around more than I'm comfortable with. I have the same Ares belt. I'm thinking of getting their new Aegis too

                                Mike, I was just busting balls man, no harm meant. As I'm sure you're aware we have quite a different attitude to firearms in the UK, but I totally understand why it is different in America from a historical and societal point of view, and if I had the fortune to live in the US (and that is something I have always wanted to do) then I would also keep a gun.

                                  Having said that, your EDC still makes mine look like some Poindexter shit.

                                    Yeah, Piers Morgan has made that very clear. Other than the fact that him berating the gun control issue, he's pretty much an unlikeable dick. Can you please keep your trash on your side of the pond please?

                                        Mega, LOL… I figured you were just busting a little balls... it's cool. I'm not some crazy American gun nut who has 300 guns laying around. I have 4 pistols, an AR, and 2 shotguns, and really have no need for anything else. Every one of them has a purpose, and thats it. Shit can get sketchy over here in the blink of an eye, and I'll be damned if I let something happen to my wife and daughter while I'm breathing. Poindexter or not, it's not the size of your EDC, but how you use it...

                                        Doug, I find it about the same on either belt... wearing 634S button fly, I find it easier to rock the IHB due to ease of access when making a standup headcall... but you're right, the Ares does give more rigidity
