G39 as CCW?

[BigFatDog]

My first handgun was a Walther PPK, 23 years ago. The G38 was my first Glock. I am now an addict. I use a newer PPK/S 380 (loaded with mag-safe ammo) as my CCW , and I am considering a G39 as a replacement. I was wondering if any of you carry one (or any sub-compact) as a CCW and what set-ups (carry methods) you use. I usually carry belly band/thunderware or ITP, the weather usually determines method. The G39 is alot wider than the PPK and would take some getting use to. So, I figure that if I'm going to get use to change I should consider some alternative set-ups.

I carry my XD subcompact strongside behind the hip IWB. The subs are a bit beefier than PPK/KelTec/Seacamp type guns and for me, I found this location the best to carry the weight. You could actually just carry your 38 there as it will feel almost the same (same width), just a little longer here and there.

I see no reason at all why you can't carry a G39. If you can shoot it, you give up nothing in capability & gain alot over the PPK. My personal recommendation would be a quality 1.5" belt and quality IWB holster. I like a CTAC because it's relatively lightweight & I can set it high enough out of my sciatic region that it's very comfortable for long periods of time, including road trips. I should also post a disclaimer that, while my G26 is preferred for hot weather/minimal clothing, my recently acquired G38 is a regular companion and carries beautifully - so don't discount the gun you have. My favorite frame-size is the G19 and the G38 was a natural choice; probably one of the most balanced Glocks I've handled.

If I don't buy another long-slide something or other to feed the toybox, my next might well be a G39. (I smell GSSF MajorSub with a handload formula I know about.)
A G39 is a great option IMO, particularly with a 7151 mag extension on it.

This might sound gay, but I carry mine in a fanny pack. And it works fine for me....

I wouldn't call a fannypack gay, and I wouldn't laugh at it... I'm still searching for the best CCW rig for me, but one of my setups is one of those "daytimer" holsters... Nobody looks at those twice...

Holds my G38 fine...

The G39 goes in a Nemisis pocket holster in my cargo shorts...

I'm looking at the CTAC too, but just haven't made the conversion to IWB yet...
