I’m working on a few as well,
Like putting a Barrett. 50 cal.
In a Dremel tool kit box.
;>) Modified my Craftsman reciprocating saw case in similar fashion...get a chuckle from the prominent raised logo. Adding to your central point, “ whatever works for you” - for the environment you expect to be in. Which is a movable feast. So planning for different social situations calls for different masking. Aside from the choice of holster, the small cheap digital pre-smart phone case make cheap and spacious spare mag carriers, belt loop or sling. Four or five .45 cal mags fit comfortable in one, with just the weight factor as a tell tale. Camera, tablet cases, etc are also objects that one would naturally “protect” in crowd situations, so having a hand in a ready state seems normal and unremarkable. An ubiquitous object in any environment. And that’s the key element. What are the most common objects, so common they fade into the back ground. Soft guitar gig bags with logos, something you could carry down Fifth Ave at high noon without a second glance... you get the picture. Art foam-core board from craft shops is a great light weight stiffener, comes in colors and easy to work custom cut-outs for tight form fitting to prevent rattle and weight shifting. With appropriate thumb or finger cutouts makes for quick snag free access. Used that back in my 35mm camera days. Won’t “print” to observers.
Very good thread Travis ......
Good aspects of any holster, for carry include a WTF is that question when seen on a person.
I’ve taken to having a local tailor modify my carhartt carpenter pants with a in the waistband set of pockets for a surefire flashlight, a spare high capacity mag and a simple bone stock reliable pistol. Ruler pocket on left thigh carries another spare mag.
Comfortable, no print, easy for daily carry.
Still a big fan of the OSS string holster for carry as well.
Carry a lot , shoot very little, comfortable, practical, endurable, ...... shy of weekly range day training abuse of course.
My concealed carry Sig AR pistol with the infamous arm brace “no its not a stock” poor mans paperless SBR is carried in a woven plastic/fiberglass bulk rice bag with a rain coat wrapped around it to not print the contents. Use a piece of old 11mm static line with a millers knot at bottom corner and a quick release knot at the open end of the bag. My paperless SBR / pistol has a RMR trijicon sight, a boonie packer redi-mag that gives me two 30 round pmags, a sling and a surefire M720V rail light.
Carry a camera, water bottles, snacks etc inside as well . I can sling the AR pistol, conceal it under the baggy rain coat if needed. My poor boy DIY gun bag !
Just screams BS to see an old out of shape fart with a Tennis Racquet case....:o)
Stay Safe !
