The secret to more than a pocket gun for summer carry, wear a shirt.
Want to carry more than a pocket gun in the summer, wear a shirt.
I'm concealing a Glock 19 AIWB and a PM40 in weak hand pocket. Dominant hand (right) and Glock 19 IWB facing forward. When out in public wear shorts and a shirt, concealment aint that hard.

I agree. Being retired and older I now longer concern myself with fashion too much.

I didn't know that was a secret. I've told lots of people, sorry.

yeah, I don't tuck in a shirt if I'm wearing shorts, so carrying a larger than a 950BS is quite easily done on the waste.

The thing is, pocket carrying my LCP in a Desantis Nemesis is just so comfortable and easy. The gun shoots well for me. I know I'm giving up some power and capacity compared to my other carry pistols, but it's such a nice rig to just drop in my pocket and go.

I have this convo a lot with new guys when they get on our job and think they need a G43 to be able to conceal carry off duty. I wear t shirts and conceal a 1911 full size, 2 mags and an ontario rat knife. So long as you're not determined to wear shirts that look like they're painted on it's easy to carry something bigger than a mouse gun.

"...wear a shirt..." In most cases that should be a legal requirement. snicker.
"...that look like they're painted on..." Shoudn't be allowed either. snicker.

Not my rule, I can always look away.
If shirtless concealment is a priority ... Smartcarry

Light summer weight vest as an option
I've seen shirts blow open in the wind and some folks would say; So what?? Another option is a summer weight "travel vest" where you san put a reasonable amount to "tuff" in the side shirts and keep the vest open. You can still wear a light button shirt or T-shirt. You won't print and "Flashing" would be minimal. ……
Hey, try it and you might just like it. ……. Be Safe !!!

I've been wearing a belt pack holster for going on 30 years. I don't care if belt packs are out of style, I find it useful to keep all my pocket stuff together as well...

You can carry a pretty big gun concealed in the pocket of some pants with a good holster, and without a shirt.

You can carry a compact or a P229 in the hidden inside shirt pocket. (It's a quick access pocket behind the overt pocket that you literally slip your hand into from the front center seam. ) Put a wallet on the other side to balance it out and very few people will ever know.

Smart Carry.
www.smartcarry.com You can carry handguns that are a lot bigger than you might expect, and you can do it in shorts, without a shirt if you want. Its also a lot quicker and easier to get to the gun, especially when seated. I normally carry a Glock 26 with a 17 reload in mine. They are comfortable for all day use, and thats a long active day too. If I could only have one holster, this would be it. |

Yea, right. I'm not comfortable carrying there. Besides, it's already pretty crowded.
