What's your favorite CCW wear and why?

Plenty of room for extra mags and other stuff.
When possible, in jacket pocket or inside belt.
On the few occasions that I wear a suit small belt holster or shoulder holster.
Summer time, dog walking, wearing shorts, small belt holster with baggy shirt.
When I open carry {very rare} S&W 357 magnum, hand tooled leather holster or Colt 45.
Usually only open carry when I'm with like minded citizens, rally for a specific cause, or when I go to my favorite gun shop.
If you go into ACE's in Washington, PA, and you aren't carrying, that means it's your first time and you don't own a gun {yet}, and you are the only one that is nekked.
Don't worry, ACEs is the safest store in PA, and obama has been salesman of the month for 5 straight years.
That is my standard dress on most days. Untucked button shirt over a tucked in t-shirt. T-shirt provides layer between my inside the waistband holster and my skin to help protect holster and gun from sweat; untucked shirt conceals my weapon. And I like to wear tactical/cargo pants to keep an extra magazine in a side pocket for easy access.
Front pocket holster of course.
TOTAL ATAS and such!
The “slightly formal” untucked shirt is what I almost always wear (outside of work). There are several styles, and I am not the best at describing them. First, we have the basic Hawaiian shirt (I have about 6 nice ones—take your time, find an expensive one on clearance—you can tell the good ones by the buttons and the quality of the material).
Then, there is a category of shirts, some with designs and others with subtle textures (which can look very dressy), and I am not sure what they are called—either “Cabana shirts” or “Cuban shirts” or “Guayabera shirts” or whatever. They vary from shirts with vertical lines, to designs, to a business style shirt; but what they all have in common is that they are designed to be worn untucked. I have about 10 of various styles.
These styles allow a middle-aged guy like me to properly wear an untucked shirt and still not look like a slob. I love them.
Hilarious. And the guys wearing head-to-toe 5.11
Hooded sweat shirt.
A good belt and a holster.
Sometimes I think the “T” in P.T. Barnum stood for “tactical”.
Ankle holster for S&W 642 Airweight
I carry a pouch, holster and 9mm in back of the pouch,slung over my shoulder. I’m a senior, read my kindle a lot, which I carry in the bag along with some meds and first aid things. I’m never going to be a quick draw...but my camo is that old guy sitting there reading...the young tuffs at the mall don’t give me a second glance. Boy would they be surprised. I love CCW... People pass me and smile, nod a good day, security guards asking how the book is...all the while I’m sitting there cocked and locked, 19 rounds in the mag, one in the chamber...and a second 19 round mag in the pouch...and nobody even suspects. Works for me.
IWB hoster and soon dual mag pouch. Almost anyting with enough length to cover becomes viable. For the fitter folk who are rocking appendix carry, this is the norm (that ship sailed 20 years ago here).
KYPD
The only area where the pistol can possibly be seen is if someone behind me glimpses the handle by looking into my pocket. I disguise this with a little case that hangs from my beltloop in which I carry my bluetooth headset.
You’ve been eating too much spaghetti.
Or more appropriately, "tacti-kool".
I use OWB with my S&W 38 5 shot revolver and carry another 5 on a speed loader. I switched from carrying my 45acp hogleg and now I have total concealment with a T shirt.
Has anyone been stopped by a LEO for printing your piece?
Me too. 1911, IWB holster, and untucked button shirt. Yes pants too.
