Does anybody CCW one? How do you have it rigged? Is $595 a good price? |

595 is in the price window, if a little on the high side. I CCW my 92 about 70% of the time. I have a Blackhawk CQC Serpa holster. I carry it at about 4 O'clock on my waist with my belt sinched up tight. That holds it close to the body in the small of the back. Usually a good sports jersey or large shirt will cover it up just fine. I'm 5'10, 180 and live in miami, so if I can hide it on me here, you should have no trouble doing so wherever you are at. |
In AK you could CCW a bazooka under all the clothes you have to wear up there! |
I have packed a Desert Eagle a couple times. |
I have a friend that packs one cross draw under a light flannel he always wears and it is always nigh-invisable. But he is a skinny little dude and can reach behind his left hip with his right arm alot easier than I can. YEa, packing a 92 can be done, I have done it a bit, but there are ALOT easier guns, even full size ones to conceal. |

CCW with a full-size handgun is not that difficult with the right holster and appropriate dress. My 92fs pulls carry duty about 70% of the time. Kramer IWB #2 or Sparks VM2. Jeans and untucked T-shirts or polo/golf shirts. Just as important as the holster is a good belt; that is the part many folks overlook. |
I've tried driving with a full size CCL, never again!!!! |

Whenever I've CCW'd the Beretta, I've just used my 92FS compact L. The compact conceals much easier, and as Bob Cole mentioned, the fullsize can be a PITA in a car, depending on the car, you, etc. The compact is just easier all the way around to CCW with. That's the primary reason I bought he compact in the first place, simply because it made more sense if I wanted to carry a 92. I use a Galco slide, strong-side, so it takes full advantage of the "compact". Carrying it in a holster longer than it needs to be sorta defeated the purpose. Nowdays I carry a S&W pre-rail 3913TSW. I've carried the 92 compact a couple times, and if I wanted higher capacity, I'd have no problems with going with that. Since the controls work the same way on the S&W and the Beretta, it's not too big a deal to switch off once in a while, but the TSW is easier to carry. |
The times I've carried its been appendix carry (just after 1:00) without a holster. I use a relatively stiff 1.5in belt. Slight adjustments when sitting but otherwise it just works.  Disclaimer: I don't run around or anything so I would not recommend the above method for 'active' carry.
