What's the biggest pistol you've ever carried concealed?

8" barrel .44 Auto Mag (somewhat larger than the S&W) in a shoulder holster under a field jacket.

Can't say it didn't "print", but I don't think so. At the time, and place, it didn't matter.
 
I carry any one of these any given time.I don't carry little guns.

CZ Sp-01 Phantom in High Noon Down Under IWB holster and High Noon Rock Steady gun belt. Disappears under a t-shirt even in AZ hot weather. Only concession to hot weather is I replace the 18 round standard mag with a flush fit 16 round CZ 75 mag, as pictured. Winter it rides with the 18 rounder. The High Noon gear is really what makes it work.

Ruger Super Blackhawk SA 7 1/2"...in a shoulder holster under a jacket or untucked flannel shirt. Did that for some time about 10 years ago.

I once for the heck of it border carried a 10 inch Colt Python for half a day. It was not comfortable at all. Sitting down was not possible either.
 
EDC, full sized steel framed 1911, for a year.

Once, a 6" Colt Trooper Mk III, just to see if I could. As m&p said, not practical.

I will most likely wait until I get a used GP100 with a 4" barrel in June or July when I get my vacation check. I know the GP100 is not small either, but I like big revolvers.

You may be a fan of big revolvers now (and it is even a remote possibility that you may be a bigger fan of them than I was of the 1911, the .45 ACP and everything else Jeff Cooper, though I think that unlikely) but I am guessing that if you carry every day, you will soon choose something smaller and lighter than a GP100.

It's been said 100+ times on here before, I am sure, that any gun you have at crunch time beats the very best one you have in the safe.
 
...... hmmmm .....

Does anybody else note that all these pics of big guns are new-looking, and the holsters are also new? No wear at all, no sweat stains on the hosters?

In real life, things get nicked and worn, IF you actually use them.

I don't know who you've been leaning up against, jimbob86, but my leather normally gets the sweat stains on the side against my body...
