For those that carry a PM9 or CM9 in an IWB holster, how many spare mags do you carry and how do you carry them? IWB? Loose in a pocket? (Which pocket?) In a pocket holster?
I live in Phoenix. From Mid June to the end of August 'Normal' is 103. For the last two months, almost every day has been 105 to 110 and quite a few days were 113 to 118. 'Winter' is officially considered to be when the overnight low goes below 60. LOL Looking at all record temperatures, it can be 70 degrees or higher any day of the year.
Ok, so I got on a bit of a rant, sorry.
What I am trying to say is the for 3 to 4 months in the Summer, dressing to best carry is a difficult objective. Dressing to endure the heat is a very high priority. That being said, cotton pants (Dockers) and jeans that are heavy and would tend to be better for holding their shape and thus holding magazines in a stable, secure position and being thick enough to avoid printing, are not the best choice for enduring the heat. Lighter fabrics such as linen and silk, especially shorts, are more comfortable but are more flexible and thus would allow a mag loose in a pocket to flop around and to print although I'm not sure that a mag printing is that much of a problem, wear caused by the sharp edges might be.
The upside is that Hawaiian/Camp shirts are great and cover even my 4" 686 without printing, unless I bend over the wrong way.
I'm new to carrying concealed so I would appreciate your experience with carrying mags.
Winter (it is actually only a concept here, never actually happens LOL), from Late September into May, jeans are reasonable so everyday is less of a problem but dress slacks are.
Thanks!
