My neighbor has a pocket holster. He carries a .32 in it. Looks like there is a wallet in his pocket.
You couldn’t tell.
He said plain clothes officers would watch someone as they neared a uniformed cop and they would change their stride and their "power" arm on the side they carried their gun, as if to shield or protect it....a totally involuntary move that is very very detectable to the trained eye.
Good to know info!
Valuable bit of info. CCWs should study the pictures and train themselves to prevent giving off “tells” that they are carrying, and to spot the clues in others.
I think that’s a bit of a mistake to concentrate on spotting concealed handguns. Like as not, the person carrying is doing so legitimately.
I’ve read that the numero uno survival skill among LEO’s is to know how to spot guys who’ve done time in prison. Armed or not, THEY’re to ones you need to watch out for.
Handy information. I know that I subconsciously protect mine when I have to jog across a street or run up a flight of stairs. I’ll have to be more attentive.
I carry at the 5 o’clock, IWB Milt Sparks custom holster.
Light jacket, slightly oversized.
Driving is more comfortable than you would guess, but given poor access while seated, I will tuck it in front, leaving holster in back.
Sig P220 is larger than most carry weapons, so I carry at 5 o’’clock to avoid “printing” and maintain easy access.

When weather permits in southern AZ, I carry under a vest. I use an IWB holster, but wear it outside my pants with my belt tight around it. I can jog comfortably with it that way and feel no need to protect it.
In hot weather...it is darn near impossible to carry without anyone being able to guess. I’m thinking cargo shorts and carrying in a pocket may be as good as it gets.

Just carry it all the time and it becomes so natural nobody will know.
It soon won’t make any difference how you act, based upon the fantasies of the fascist corporatists such as Chertoff lobbying their cronies in Congress, all while profiting from the loss of our rights and privacy.
They will sell their body scanners (paid for by our taxes) to every ‘Authority” and police dept. They will have body scanners on every corner and public place. Not to protect us, but to keep us in line.
Privacy will become a lost concept and the concept of our lives and friends will be owned and copyrighted by Facebook and our genes patented by the biotechs. How do they get to patent something God created?

In my experience, getting the piece in a comfortable, stable position -- and getting very comfortable with it being there -- are primo requirements of concealment. (So, basically, I agree with you...)
Some other cues:
1) An undercover officer sitting in an airport. Seriously, a fishing hat, sunglasses, pastel shirt, Dockers and Hush Puppies loafers, having talked to another officer, he sits down and crosses his legs, showing his ankle holster.
2) An emergency room where a dummy has either shot himself in the genitals and thigh, or buttocks, by shoving his gun into his belt without a holster.
Interestingly, most of the cues in the article involve a left-right imbalance.
The solution is to carry two guns symmetrically.
Thanks for posting. Thanks to every poster/educator with first-hand experience. BTTT!
I carried a pocket holstered 32 daily for months at home and away and my wife never realized it. This included discreetly installing in the morning and putting it in a drawer at bedtime.
I worked construction in nasty parts of Southern California and had a 25 automatic in my carpenter bags
I carry in a “fanny pack” type quick access holster year round. Seems to work well for non-carriers, but those who carry pick it out right away.
It’s still concealed.
My friends in the know say it looks “gay.”
