Is this the one?

Another reason is that having a large, solid metal object directly over your spine can cause you severe and long-lasting injuries in a fall. Also, it is in a perfect position for a person to take it from you.

Thin built, jeans and t-shirt guys are a tough fit for full sized carry...

I had the same problem until I made a simple decision to add Hawaiian/camp shirts to my wardrobe. I bought a good, thick gunbelt and IWB holster and, voila, my goverment model 1911 disappeared.

If it's too hot for a camp shirt/T-shirt combo, I can still conceal under an untucked XL tee using an hankie as a sweatguard between me and my gunleather.

Stop. You’re killing me. Every time I broach this subject with the wife she innocently asks “does that come with a diamond for me?”
- “Yes, dear. A tennis bracelet as a matter of fact.”

IMHO Gator and Elephant are the only acceptable exotics when it comes to gun leather. The 1911 pattern was made to be carried in gator hide...now if you’ll excuse me, I must contact the Credit Union and a local jeweler.

The glue-on belt clip caught my eye. I have a .38 spec snubby for which it would work nicely.

I’ve seen a lot of nice stuff done in ostrich.

The nice thing about elephant is that it is pretty much indestructable.

Its kinda catchy, dontcha think ??? 8^}

my son caught the tag as I scrolled a page last weekend , he had to stop and absorb the thought...lolol...

A convert !.........:o)

Ive considered full wardrobe chnges, Im just too hardheaded a redneck at this time, besides, as this thread illustrates, there will most likely be several different arms, modes of carry, events/situations etc per week/year to consider anything as one size fits all...

I plan to keep 'tryin on' different combos and whichever works best will be the 'right' one on any given day...

thanks for he thoughts...

[Gilbo_3]

never quite got used to the idea of a firearm pointing at my johnson....even WITH an empty chamber.

hehehe...my aim prolly aint THAT good...

Similar but I don’t think that was it. The one I’m thinking of used two screws from the S&W plate to secure the clip.

There's a bunch of us who carry in church, including the Pastor. Several weeks ago, my 13 yr old was sitting next to me as he turned around us in the pew and looked behind us. Then he looked at me and asked, "How much to you like Ms. Wendy?" I told him that I liked Ms. Wendy just fine! He sort of turned the corners of his mouth down and shook his head slowly as he lowered his eyes to my left arm where he knew that the .45ACP was holstered... "hot", cocked, locked, and pointing RIGHT at Ms. Wendy!

I carry on an empty chamber now most of the time. If I'm in so much of a hurry that I can't charge it, then I have a real crisis on my hands! :-)

[Shooter 2.5]

Maybe in a fall but concealed does mean concealed. I don’t know why anyone would try to take it from you if they don’t know it’s there.

[Shooter 2.5]

No kidding. You're completely right. The belt is the secret for most concealed carry and nothing beats a “The Wilderness” Instructor's belt.

[TEXASPROUD]

To be truely prepared you also need something for the AR/AK in the pickup.

You can argue rights this and rights that all you want, but if you’re sitting in a jail cell, it gets you exactly ZERO. You can be more effecitve out here, recruiting as many “carriers” as you can.

And you can look into your state's concealed carry laws, as most states in the Union either have provisions for concealed carry permits or acknowledge out of state permits via Full Faith and Credit.
