I'm burnt Out today & Bored - What's the best business casual carry gun?

I wear business casual clothes, slacks& shirt, quite often, as well as suits. Suits are easy to carry for, but for slacks and a shirt in the summertime, it gets more difficult.

So, what's your personal favorite handgun for concealed carry wearing summertime business casual clothes and how do you carry? What holster, daytimer, or pouch, etc.?

Red meat incoming.

Is this a rhetorical question designed to elicit many replies or do you really need advice on this?

The wif’, nugnut, says hers is a white pearl-handled Derringer in a white lace bra. Unfortunately, bras make me itch in the summertime.

[PatrioticAmerican]

P.S. haha.

Um make sure your bra is underwired for optimum sparks effects! ;-)

Me thinks this is a "loaded" question.

I seriously want to know. Colorado just changed the rules denying Denver the right to ban guns. Hence, we can carry in Denver on business. I live in Highlands Ranch, 12 miles south of Denver, and I carry often. In Denver I had to leave my guns at home, but now I can carry.

Considering that I go to Denver often for business, I carry now, but its a bitch in slacks. I am sure some FReepers also carry in business and their experiences would be very useful.

Besides, it has been a slow news day.

Keltec P32 -- fits in any pocket, and weighs next to nothing. I go jogging with it in my shorts pocket.

My favorite subject. Summer brings heat, heat brings sweat, and lightweight, loose clothing.

Something stainless, lightweight, slim design, semiauto. Does the Beretta Tomcat come in stainless?

If you want to go reall small, there is a 5 shot 22 mag revolver that will fit in the palm of your hand and can easily be hidden in your pocket. North American Arms? (can't remember)

We have a Taurus 5 shot 38. Nice, but breaks easy. We are sending it back for the second time now. I broke it last week after only 100 rounds. The internals have jammed.

The 7 shot Taurus that I have shoots like a dream and works very well, but it is too large for concealed carry.

"Does the Beretta Tomcat come in stainless?"

We have the Beretta Bobcat in 22. Not bad, but the Tomcat in 32 is better. They have wide grips, so concealed carry is more dificult.

.45 Lightweight Commander in a Milt Sparks Summer Special IWB, crossdraw in front of the left hip under an Aloha shirt worn outside the pants. (If you have too much gut or are planning a big Italian lunch, put it behind your right hip) For business or other not-too-casual activities, make it one of the muted reverse prints or more conservative sport shirts with square tails designed to wear outside the pants.

Something flat like a Walther P5, 9mm. I carry a Glock 30, but it is sometimes too thick. The Glock G36 is only a tad thinner, but only carries 6+1.

"Keltec P32 "

Is it reliable and well built? I've actually never shot one.

[PatrioticAmerican]

"Milt Sparks"

I like their pocket holster. It is a good design. I have a dealer in town and can check one out.

Taurus has an excellent warranty that we used once with zero problems or complaints. It is just that about one in five of their guns seems to need to be returned. This seems to be common problem for Taurus, so it is a great thing that they have ane excellent warrantee program.

I hope they improve their quality as their firearms are of excellent user design.
