If I had my CCW all I would have available to carry is my full size P-220. Perfect excuse to buy another gun.

The 43 is actually next on my to buy list, glad to hear someone else likes it. Did you get the mag extension and anything like that is or is just as is at the moment?

In fact, it would. The 17/22, 19/23 and 26/27 all have certain dimensions that are identical. A "slide" holster built for any of these will work for all. My holster isn't a slide holster, it's a full-length for a 19/23 and the 26/27 works just fine with it. The 17/22 will not as it's too long, unless I cut off the end of the holster to allow for the extra length of a 17/22.

As to getting a CCW in California, it all depends upon which County you live in.

That's why the old Glock branded plastic holsters would fit all models from a series, it was open ended

Riverside issues them, but like my pal Desertmedic has said theres only 1 deputy for a county bigger than the state of Rhode Island. I was implying that carrying my full size 45 is doable... in the winter vs the summer and that I would have an excuse to buy another gun... (Sig P-239)

Well my fly out day with the local HEMS company was uneventful. Got asked for our ETA to a call that fire was responding to but never got dispatch. So we just sat around for 12 hours. Going to be around October before I can do another fly out.
Trying to get a day in with the one near me before I leave. No idea if that will work out yet or not.

My other half loves her 43. It's not my favorite gun to shoot without an extension but with an extension it's great. Plus you can literally conceal it anywhere.

We'll see bud, not going to lie I'm kinda apprehensive about taking all 3 weekends for the festivals with finals right around the corner. I don't know how people can pass medic school while working full time. I pick up 9 shifts and its like the world is coming to an end lol.
That's exactly why I want it. There is no doubting what's under my shirt in the summer if I carry my Sig, the thing is pretty damn hefty.

Have you taken a ride along class yet? Should be one coming up at one of the bases. We will hopefully have one at Granite soon.

I'd have to jump thru all the hoops to become a reserve cop before I'd even begin to be able to think about applying for a CCW here lol, something tells me that'd be even longer than 2019 
Not yet, but I did get an email back about an upcoming one. Not an ideal day, but could probably make it work. Do you know when the Granite one is?

thats my service weapon.. Typical gun, it goes boom... nothing special
blackhawk serpa level 3 holster here. love it
Only dude I know that carries a 1911 daily is my Dads friend. He's been in the corps for like 30 years though...I'm carrying my G27 right now and I can switch to a G23 whenever I want because the holster I'm using works for both. If I want to carry my 1911, then all it takes is about 5 minutes and I'm good to go with that. Heck, I've got a drop-leg holster for a G17/22 and it works just fine with either of my Glocks, though I must admit my G27 looks a bit funny in it.I just hope I never have to start wearing that particular holster...
Eye candyyyyyyy! I would have rather been in the fests, but oh well.

I was surprised I got placed on cart 2 since there are CVR/thermal events going on on every Saturday.

I'm pretty good with my 1911, better than with either Glock. I just rarely carry my 1911 because it's quite heavy. It's a full-size so it is a little difficult to conceal the grip but under a jacket, it just disappears. I also have competed in IDPA with my 1911 and my G23. I'm not really fast, but I am accurate! I first learned handgun marksmanship with a revolver. Fast is nice but accuracy is final because hits stop bad dudes.thats my service weapon.. Typical gun, it goes boom... nothing special
