I don't want to print, the point of conceal/carry is to hide the weapon from curious eyes.

Warm weather is a more challenging time for conceal/carry.

In summer I wear a t-shirt and a lightweight button down shirt with longer shirttails to cover my Blackhawk belt holster and Glock 19.

What say you?

Advice from Liberals;
“You can just hide “it” (The G Word) behind your Swastika armband, or under your KKK hood. Or maybe just under your “Make America Great Again” hat?”

Much less of an issue than it used to be since the state went to Constitutional Carry. Now a minor accident, flipped-up shirttail, what have you, doesn’t expose you to legal risk from an overzealous prosecutor. I still don’t like it, though. Concealed is concealed, and you lose the advantages of concealment if it isn’t.

This might work for most gals:

I would suggest a hammerless small frame Smith, and a top just loose enough to allow a thumb to slid under the lower hem for a one hand draw.

I have 'winter' wear, and 'summer' wear.

Winter is usually a KAHR PM45 or a full size 1911 in an IWB holster with mag holder. A coat covers this setup pretty well.

Summer is a KAHR PM9 in a pocket holster. There is also a 2 inch S&W Mdl 64 that I ride around wearing.

Carrying concealed is a lot more thinking than one gun/holster combo.

Having been hassled for accidental printing in the past, I’m extremely cognizant of it. I buy one shirt size bigger than I wear to keep from worrying about it, or I carry a smaller profile sidearm if I have to wear tighter clothing.

I say anyone willing to get on their knees and beg for a permit to exercise a Constitutional right (understanding there are some states where no permit is required) should just hand their gun over and accept their chains of slavery. Just one reason why I open carry.

Wished I was able to carry in the Democratic Soviet Socialist People’s Republic of Communism New York.

If I had a figure like the girl in the pic, I wouldn’t be wearing that kind of top in the 1st place. I almost always wear something lose that helps conceal. I do have a problem carrying in my speedo however.

I say Open Carry and quit worrying about it. Concealed carry has it’s place but is stratgically inferior to Open Carry.

If 10% of the populace Open Carried, violent crime would be a bad memory.

This woman is a fool and would lose her license in Tx.

Concealed means concealed.

Of course now we have open carry but that is just a legislative point to preserve our rights.
Don’t go flashing yer cards.

I dress like you. Long sleeve shirt with tail out to cover my paddle holster and Taurus PT111 Gen 2.

It took a while to get used to going around with an untucked shirt. Guess it’s because of my stint in the Corps.

you might as well open carry (and don’t get me started on that today).

Come on Jenn, let's discuss it now........what do you have against open carry?

Springfield Armory XDS in .45 in an Alien Gear IWB (Cloak Tuck 2) holster.

Absolutely nobody knows I’m concealed carrying ... as it should be.

I solved the issue by losing a lot of weight. Now everything fits awesome and I can conceal inside my waistband easily.

Tactically, well, bless her heart.

I just upgraded my warm weather concealed carry. Instead of struggling to conceal my full-size VP9 during the spring & summer, I purchased a Walther PPS M2 LE. I use a Brave Response IWB belly-band/velcro holster & carry 2 spare 8 round mags. I wonder if anyone who’s ever been in a gunfight using a semi-auto handgun ever considered their mags were “spares” or “extras”? I digress. A semi-loose t-shirt or untucked polo/button down over this rig and there is no printing at all.

As to the Walther PPS M2 LE, Cabela’s had it retail at $499 and on sale for $449. $20 off Father’s Day coupon after that, and Walther’s $100 mail-in rebate, and I’ll have a little more than $350 into this piece. After a couple hundred rounds, so far it’s one of the better value purchases I’ve made.
