Carrying a weapon is a burden. It’s a heavy piece of metal and plastic that is cumbersome and uncomfortable, esp. on hot Florida summer days. It is, however, a burden I’ll bear if it means I have a chance to protect myself and my family against a psycho or opportunist.

That’s the reason I just carry on my right hip and call it good. I carry a SIG 239 daily and it’s about as big a pistol as I want to mess with. I’ve got a SIG 365 which is quite a bit smaller and one of the few pistols one can comfortably carry in cargo style pants or shorts. I rarely wear either so it mainly stays in my desk at the office. Were I to carry a 365 I’d most likely carry a SIG 365 XL and just go ahead and carry open.
I live in Florida and know what your talking about. I used to keep one in my car but then became scared someone would break in and steal it. When I first got my concealed I carried everywhere. Would make up a reason to go somewhere so I could carry. Then would slowly forget it. We have a ton of guns at work. I used to think I need to get a new gun to revitalize my want to carry. Just a excuse to buy a gun. Florida is not as bad as other states at least not in our area. But it only takes once. I need to stay frosty.
As the saying goes, it's not supposed to be comfortable, it's supposed to be comforting.
“Carrying a weapon is a burden.”
In more ways than one.

That’s why you need a summer gun and a winter gun!!
I'm so used to carrying my weapon, if I don't have it, it feels abnormal.
I've got multiple calibers/sizes, every kinda of holster to make carrying as comfortable as possible. Gotta admit though, Houston, like Florida heat/humidity does pose it's challenges.
