Depending on what I’m wearing but usually a g19. Wife has always got her hellcat in her purse in the pew. After the Godfathers comment I’m kinda thinking I should have my G40 instead
 
I have a hard time carrying in church.
Not because of beliefs or so called morals, but because I’m constantly worried about printing. I sit in the front and IWB constantly has me wondering if the others are seeing a new bulge that would get me put on the prayer list.
I’ve carried a hellcat, charter bulldog, NAA 22mag, and a S&W3913. In every position from pocket carry to appendix to 7:30 (left handed).
I would say the main problem is; I tuck my shirt 90% of the time and I’m 6’1” 170 pounds. I have considered a Ruger LCP or LC9 in a pocket holster. Open to suggestions.

S&W Bodyguard 2.0. You won’t be disappointed.

The Ruger LCP Max carries 10 + 1 of .380. Easily concealable in a pocket holster with a spare mag in a Neomag clip in the off hand pocket

The charter arms is the size and weight of a K-frame so maybe going to a j-frame would be beneficial. I just have never liked shooting 38/357 versus 44spl/mag. Revolvers also aren’t great for reloading left handed, but chances of needing a reload are extremely low according to statistics. I’ll go handle one.

I was referring to the new .380 but a J-Frame is a great option too!
 
Second the Bodyguard .380, used to just be my hot month carry in TX. Has quickly become my full time go to. Just an easy pocket carry. I’ve been slowly introducing a IWB option with my Walther PPS. Those are the two i’m most accurate with though so my others stay in the safe.

Not in church much these days, but my go to EDC is a Shadow Systems MR920.. with the Holosun Reflex sight it's pretty accurate and quick... Basically a Glock 19 made for CQB

Do you carry in church? If so, are you in the “mess with flock, gets the Glock” team? Or do you carry something else?

Today I carried a Sig P229 🏴‍☠️
For extreme concealed carry I have a couple Sigs as well, the micros... A P238 with rosewood grips and a P938. If I'm in suit and need something smaller than my Shadow Systems MR920 I'll usually carry one of these.
