What Wyosmith posted in #77 above; it just has the ring of truth to it. I only carry a Vaquero in a cross-draw holster on the left hip that occasionally is covered by clothing. No real intention to conceal, it just happens. That's in the woods; around town, I'm unarmed except for my chainsaws.
The Portland Metro-region, by and large, just isn't that bad. If I were to desire a concealed-carry rig, I think I would opt for a shoulder rig that places the gun under the left arm vertically and deploying cross-draw. I think it's a pretty big gun for that, but a person could get used to it.
I tried to stay out of this thread, but the, "wifebeater shirt", comment provoked my curiosity.
Never heard that one. I musta been born somewhere out of touch....
