I often carry an FNH FNX-45 Tactical and two spare magazines under an untucked garment.

Anyone here carry a fullsize weapon 24/7?

No, I do not carry anything 24/7. Some number of hours, in each 24, a guy has to get some sleep. 
(I realize that the OP has not been here, since March 2005.) I do tend to carry duty-sized guns, many of the days, of every 365.
Edited to add: Well, now that I think about it, on a few straight-through road trips, over long distances, during which I occasionally napped in the reclined truck seat, I have carried a GP100 24 hours a day, but those were two-to-three-day trips, not 7+.

He moved on to other things after the Canadian deal. He started another site shortly after the takeover, personaldefenseforum.net, comprised almost entirely of members from this site.

Oh wait, I think I was/am a member there.
It changed hands and the new owner passed, correct?

It has been defunct for awhile, so no need to update your membership status. I was a member until I got banned. Awhile later I got invited back. Then I think I got banned again.
I believe that was what happened. There was at least one ownership change on the in-between, as well.

You're consistent if nothing else. The site went through three owners before going down for the count when the third one died.
I used to. The older I get the smaller and lighter the EDC gets. A browning hipower for for almost a decade. A full sized 1911 for over a decade. A Glock 17 for a few. A Glock 29 for a few. Then the Glock 26. Now I carry a 442 snub every day and when I need it upgrade to the lightweight commander for city carry.

C'mon, I've mellowed considerably since getting kicked off every forum I've ever been a member of...

I feel like I posted on both for awhile after the split, then that one became all the annoying stuff that got booted from here, so I dropped off.

Back when I worked in Gun Shops I experimented with all sizes. Tried a Glock 26 and some 357 Revolvers. I then went to strictly J-Frames. Now Years down the road I inherited a Springfield XDm 3.8 20 shot 9mm. With the replaceable back straps I have a, what I consider, full size gun that actually fits my hand and bent trigger finger. It took a week to get used to carrying but, it shoots so nice. I guess I’m backwards. Most old guys are looking for small and light. I went to a 2lbs gun with a 19 round mag.

Well, picked up a RIA TACII 1911 yesterday, along with a IWB holster, cause that was the only holster the store had at the time. I have been carrying at the 3:30 position and have hardly noticed it was there, ride very comfortable in that position, even when driving.
