Way out in the boonies years ago, here in the Southern California desert;
Looked like a S&W .44 mag, with the longest barrel I've ever seen on one?? Big guy, maybe 6 foot 4 and 300+ pounds...............the barrel stuck out a good two inches under his T shirt. Why he was wearing a white T and carrying the revolver under it was a strange?? Considering we were along way out in the sticks and a thin, white T sure didn't hide anything under it?? Had to be ten other people in the same area packing also, I was too................................my Ruger single six in a western cowboy rig. |

It was a customer of mine a few weeks back.
It was a full sized semi on an ordinary belt holster. Except he had pulled his polo shirt down over the belt hoster, and then tucked it under. |

Here in this crummy state, we are required to carry concealed. If someone sees it, freaks out, and calls the law on you, you will be in trouble and probably lose your CWP.
Having said that, I generally only carry when I'm out hunting. I don't engage in much "general" carry due to where I live being so anti-2a. Anyway, when out hunting I regularly carry my S&W 629 Classic with 6.5" bbl in a vertical shoulder rig under an Army field jacket. I've stopped off at the store for a gallon of milk on my way home from hunting with the 44 under my jacket a time or two. Nobody had a clue, and being "conditioned" as we NYers are, I felt like I was doing something bad.... I carry my 5" bbl 460V in a Guides Choice chest rig now and then too... under the above mentioned field jacket. I have others, but those are the largest. |

I ve carried my S&W 29 6" 44mag in a shoulder holster in jacket weather .
Just because I could . My 1911's are no trouble in a shoulder or IWB to carry.

An 8 and3/8" 44 magnum in a shoulder holster by my cousin Jim who just recently passed. He was a Vietnam Army vet and had a fondness for large caliber revolvers and 1911's. I loved his transparency and miss him dearly.

An older sergeant in a PD I worked for carried two Colt Government Models (.45) in matching shoulder holsters. And he shot pretty well with them (no, not at the same time, but alternating shots). I once saw a guy named Chick Gaylord do his "strip tease"; IIRC, he had something like a dozen guns on him and nobody even noticed a bulge until he started pulling them out, one at a time! (At that time, I was too slender to do that; now.....)

Gaylord was the fastest draw in the world for a long time.

Have to admit to concealing a Deagle .50ae for a few years,
used three different holsters for different outerwear... It was easiest to deep conceal in a shoulder rig under coveralls, with a jacket over... but it'd take a little time to get to

I carried a 4” M29 OWB and two speedloaders for a month, just to see what it was like.
Most of the time I wore my usual untucked sport or Hawaiian shirt. It wasn’t all that bad. Other than the fact that it was like strapping half a steel grapefruit on my side – plus the speedloaders in their leather snap pouch were almost as bad – it was quite comfortable. I’ll admit that I had to swing my arm out pretty far to clear the bulk, but no one, including my wife, noticed a thing. It’s worth noting that I’m 5’9” and 142 lbs, so not a real big guy. These days, I carry my 3.3” XDs .45, either in a Remora holster or the factory paddle one. |

A friend of mine carried a full size 1911 for a few months. He said that it was easy to keep concealed, but he got tired of the weight.

Largest guns I've ever carried for months or even a year or two at a time, have been a SIG P226, HK USP 45, Glock 17 or 21, and the 1911.
I had a friend who carried a Desert Eagle for about a week. |

For my own part...
4" N-frame S&W GM 1911 A couple times in the service, I had to tote all the staff-Os M9 Berettas. I had some where north of 10 M9s under/about my BDUs, with none the wiser. So, for sheer volume & mass I could say, "10 Beretta 92FS pistols."

I regularly carry the Colt 1911 or the S&W 627PC, though not some much in the summer time.
