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...

I saw a picture of a handgun a couple of months ago that someone had modified by adding a belt clip to the gun itself. No holster needed! Modified Mexican carry, I suppose.

Now just how good that would be if you were sitting down or running I have no idea.

Fanny packs are great for outdoor activities like canoeing, biking, etc.
