Which Taurus Model is best for concealed carry?

[pastorm]

I currently have a 24/7 Pro 9mm but it is so large that it is difficult to carry. Which model would be best to carry in the 9mm? I have looked at the PT111 and liked the size and feel of it. Any inout would be welcomed.

Concealed carry is a very personal issue. What works for one person doesn't work for someone else. This also applies to the method of concealed carry also. Some prefer IWB other OWB. It generally takes most folks a bit of experimentation to find the right gun and carry combo that best suits their needs. I like to carry a small pocket sized pistol as a back up, and a medium sized pistol OWB. I'd suggest that you go to your local dealer and handle a few different guns and try and decide on a method of carry before you go. Pick a size and style of gun that will work best for you and one that you can carry when you go out. The only gun that doesn't work for ccw is the one that you leave at home.

You'll get almost as many opinions as there are members here. The Millennium series of pistols make excellent choices for concealed carry. Just my opinion of course. BigSkiff sums thing up quite nicely.

I think if they ever actually release the PT709, it might be hard to beat. Until then, any of the snub revolvers or the Mil Pro line, and the 24/7 Pro C line, would be outstanding.

I carry the pt111 mil. pro in a fobus paddle holster and it works great for me.

Smoke is absolutely correct. Sometimes I carry my rather large PT92 or PT99, but I don't have problems with it.

For just running to the store and back, basically I'll carry my 85UL... it's light almost like it's not there, but 5 rounds of +P 124gr Golden Sabers will do the trick any time.

I carry my PT145 on my hip. I have a bud who has one who wears his in an ankle holster. For me that only works if I pull out the jeans from the 70 & 80's with the bell bottoms. *grin*

But I can also carry a full sized pistol on my hip. It actually hides easier as it is thinner. Plus the full size hides better in my vest than my PT145. The 145 doesn't show as a definite GUN but it rather looks like a decent sized kind of square looking blob in the vest.

"Decent sized square looking blob", that's funny Sarge, I like that description! LOL

Wish I could claim it but a bud of mine said it. He thought I had a book or something in that pocket. Considering I can read about 2.5 books a day it could have been.

Right now I don't carry it there tho. Need some weight to offset it. *grin* Or I get lopsided. Like one of the old cartoons with the dude with one huge arm and chest compared to the other side due to self pleasuring shall we say.

Have you tried putting your spare ammo on the off side? It won't be enough by itself but a loaded mag or two will help.
