they make nice, small handbags with a secret compartment for the ladies who carry. I guess men will need a MAN PURSE to conceal during the warmer months. Winter time is no problem. A blazer and a chest holster (or whatever you call the one that is under your arm) works great.

Great for men / women / summer / winter
The point of the article/product is no “man purse” needed - just good pants made for the purpose.
Gotta wonder how well a G26 rides therein.
Or you go small and carry in your pocket:.

If there is ever one thing I can never stress enough to the ladies I meet........DON"T KEEP YOUR GUN IN YOUR PURSE/HANDBAG!!!!! I don't care how cool or convenient it is. If someone rushes you and snatches your purse/handbag, they now have your money, ID, credit cards, OH YEAH, AND YOUR GUN!!!!
Guys, I don't care how super awesome you think it is, if you don't carry your money in your inside breast pocket, don't carry your gun in a shoulder holster unless it is a backup!
If I scout you at the ATM and watch you draw/return your wallet from/to your back pocket and you reach for your breast during the robbery, you will die before you ever touch the pistol grip.
Think like a criminal; identify the threat; prepare/arm yourself accordingly. Then go to the range and practice, practice, practice!
You can never plan for every detail, but if you get something because so-n-so has one, or it looks cool in the catalog, rather than this is practical and will save your life........well, you may not live to see the stupidity of your mistake. /rant
AIWB (appendix inside the waist band) solves the problem. The barrel of the gun holstered fits in the crease between the groin and leg; offers a fast a draw and discretion. Usually have to be a size larger shirt, and may have to buy bit larger shorts, pants. Also, a strong thick wide tactical belt is crucial.
Flowing Hawaiian style shirts offer even more multiple carry options which won’t print. 2 pistols AIWB, dual magazine pouch just behind hip bone, a fixed blade inside or outside belt, blackjack in front pocket, folding blade in rear pocket, etc.
Carrying only a .38 snubbie or small mouse guns is passe in my opinion for these modern times, but at least it’s something. I’ll take a little discomfort for security in the face of multiple attackers, etc, and that means a few quality military tested handguns options or secondary backup piece, extra magazines, in addition to blades, which offer silent treatment and are often overlooked for their paleolithic savagery.
