All sarcasm aside.... Is that a cod piece on the holster? What is it's purpose
Nice setup
It's a wedge. Helps with concealment and comfort
It's the only way he can get women to notice him.

"That just a gun or you happy to see me......" lol
Can you explain a little more? How does it help with better positioning the holster?
Can't say I've ever used one, but this page explains it pretty well.

Customized Colt officers 45 auto 230gr win hp or g19 w/ 125 gr Corbon both carried in inside waistband holsters under an untucked shirt.

For winter carry here in the Adirondacks l usually pack a 45 combat commander or magna ported smith mod 58 41 mag.
Here is my new EDC. I use it with a Werks holster in a hip carry but slightly more back.

It won't be so much an EDC gun for me but rather a pocket gun to have on me for my early morning runs. Also as a 'too lazy/rushed to put on a belt holster gun such as when just going outside for a few minutes to get the mail, take out the garbage or to make a corner store run.
The holster is a Mika pocket holster. I am also considering a Kusiak Leather OWB holster should I decide to carry the little beast more formally.
I also put the Crimson Trace laser grips on it.
It will primarily be carried in the pre dawn dark and you can't put a red dot nor a light on a J frame so the laser grips are the best low light option. Also this type of gun is likely to be point shot anyway so a laser dot would be useful.

In addition to my P365 Micro above, I bought this and waiting on approval. I'm most likey going to change my EDC to this, it's feather light and thin! Great carry comfort wise....

Now it's a Glock 23. Sometimes converted to 9mm.
A Walther PPS M1 in .40 is my slimline carry gun.

Once I get my NYC CCW and I have to select two guns to have on my permit it will be either the P320 with Wilson Combat grip/MK18 slide or HK VP9 hip/6-7 o'clock and Ruger LCR 9mm for ankle holster.
I'm leaning more toward my VP9 for my primary over the P320.
Any opinions?

Are those what you have or what you'd get? If it's what you have, I like the VP9 better than the P320 in every way. If it's what you'd get, then the VP9SK is so much easier to conceal than the full-sized VP9. And I'm no P320 hater either. I like it pretty well, but I like the VP9 better.
It's what I'd choose over what I have. Many of my Glocks are heavily modified which makes me not want to use them for carry. Simply for legality.
The 1911 is just too heavy to IWB, but I do have a shoulder holster for it. I frequently carry that in PA.

Same here, and as a lefty shooter the ambidextrous controls are nice.
My main reasoning for a wheel gun for back up is well, I feel wheel guns are the most reliable and what's not better than reliable for a backup? Also in 9mm so I can share ammo between both if needed.
I have both the VP9 and the VP9SK and carried both of them exclusively (SK more than the full size especially in the warmer months), until I got my Hellcat Pro. One thing to keep in mind with the VP9SK if you were to go that route, is although it is smaller in most dimensions, the grip is actually a little wider on it then the full size VP9 and to certain body types that may pose a problem depending on where you carry ,/ individual preferences . YMMV

Both the VP9 and VP9SK come with interchangeable grip panels. I'm guessing you have yours set up differently so one is wider than the other. They are fully customizable.

Yea, I think the 9mm LCR backup is a solid choice. Great for days when a bigger gun isn't a good option.
As for the primary, my recommendation is really to try it out. If you don't already have good holsters for each, buy a couple good holsters and wear them around the house for a couple weeks. See what works with what clothes. Does one tend to print way more obviously than the other? Is one more comfortable? Mess with the grip panel configuration on the H&K.
I've used both the M18 with the Wilson grip and the VP9, the P320 does print more but that's because I have a light and Romeo 1 Pro on it when I CCW in PA, VA, WV, TN, and NC.
I'll probably stick with the VP9. I was also thinking the Archon but it's been difficult to find an IWB for it.

Welcome Trapper 30-30 you’ve arrived at a great place here, lots of laughs and good info , a place to vent your frustration in a non politically correct manner. We are far from woke on this sight .
B vile hasn’t changed much other than the bowling alley closing and they opened up a weed shop across from Stewart’s in Mapledale .
