bwahahaha...
Thin built, jeans and t-shirt guys are a tough fit for full sized carry...
'Mexican' style w/empty chamber is lookin like the way to go for me...comfort and concealability wise...
LFOD...
For the most part, slacks and dress shirts during working hours (IT Director). Was tempted to use my laptop carry bag, but it's already got too much in it as it is.
Summer carry is tough, but baggy shorts w/moderately deep pockets work well. I just dump the SW642 (.38 Special +P) in an Uncle Mike’s pocket holster in there, and carry some extra speed loaders in the other pocket.
Works well. It’s lightweight, points well, and goes bang with enough punch to do what it needs to do. Similar to a Model 36 snubbie, but not as heavy (it’s alloy).
If I need to wear jeans, well, again, I make sure that they’re loose-fitting enough to be able to conceal. Also have a KelTec .380 - works well enough, but it’s a weak round. But I’d say that it looks like a HOWITZER when you’re looking at the muzzle end of it.
Fanny packs - No way...just...no way...
As for “Mexican” style - never quite got used to the idea of a firearm pointing at my johnson....even WITH an empty chamber. Bought a “Thunderwear” rig some years back, and tried it out a few times. Tough to get to the piece that way, especially under stress.
The pocket holster is the way to go (IMHO) if you can’t have a hip-paddle.
Winter/fall/spring is much easier for CCW...
Whooo Hoooo !
A convert !.........:o)
No $hit...
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.
