Seriously, do they make something like that in a big-ass-squatting version? My issue is I need some way to CWC in a dress shirt and tie. I can get away with my 9 holstered inside my pants in the middle of my back with a sweater on but come summer, that ain’t gonna work.

Google tuckable IWB or tuckable appendix carry if you want something more traditional.

Google belly band holster if you want a ‘deep carry’ option. This is more like the one push posted.

Belly bands work great but boy do they make your waist hot in the summer. At least the one I have does.

Here’s what I’m running. http://oldfaithfulholsters.com/

All day comfort. I’ve worn mine for up to 2 days straight once because I stayed at a guys ( my father in law) house who was not fully gun friendly and slept in my clothes, on his couch. If you don’t like the metal belt clips, you can sub them for leather ones with the “pull the dot” snaps.

I also have one of these “belly band” types. form pistol wear. http://www.pistolwear.com/

I do not really like it being honest. Its well made and all for what it is which is basically a neoprene pouch that wraps around the waist. Like a low profile waist pack. I run a G19 and it fits well but it flops around. Drawing the weapon is cumbersome. Forget about training with it. There’s no way you can holster and unholster that thing. This is made for joggers and shit and you basically have no other option to carry. I got it for when I’m riding my road bike (cycling) and I’m wearing all that biking spandex and stuff.

Seriously, I like it on body. I even hate going into the courthouse and leaving it in the truck. Carry a briefcase into a bathroom and you look like a bitch. Remember those fanny-packs?

Ya, I need something that will allow me to tuck a dress shirt in, not be seen and doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a scuba suit. All the places I would at would be ACed so temp isn’t a big issue in the summer.

This is one of my newest rigs and will probably be my Summer EDC. I have a one on the way just like it for a Glock 19/23. It’s made for appendix carry which is how I’ve been using it.

The loop is attached to a strut that you can tuck your shirt in front of. The loop will still be visible around your belt, but if you carry it in front, it will be down by your crotch and people generally avoid looking there. I have no problem hiding the SW Shield with a tight tucked in polo with it.

I have some 4 o’clock kydex holsters I really like, but the few times I’ve caught myself printing is sitting down leaning over a table while out to eat. The first time was my fault when I first started carrying and the gun was plainly visible through my shirt and I still get goosebumps about this.
If I’m at a booth, I can put the gun side towards the wall, but if I’m in a chair or on a barstool, its hard to hide it, especially if wearing only a t-shirt. I’ve been spotted twice with a gun because of this and I did not like it at all. This is the main reason I started carrying appendix.

I’m still slightly paranoid about having a loaded gun pointing directly at my genitals, but it’s not uncomfortable physically and I’m a lot more confident that the gun is staying 100% concealed no matter what position I’m in.

When I’m playing dress up I prefer an ankle holster. I have one with a sheepskin lining that is quite comfortable. With loose dress pants no one can tell its there but I’d stay away from the skinny jeans.

I tried the boot thing when I’m cowboyed up, hated it! I have many different looks, professional, cowboy with duster and hat, casual, shorts and tank top for the summer ball games. That’s why I liked the jockey holster idea.

Ya, my wife doesn’t get that since I carry in the middle of my back, " You’d have no problem with 2 holes in your ass but lose a nut and there’s an issue. Does’t all that testosterone you take make them useless anyway?"

I know you mentioned not wanting the scuba suit feel. Have you tried the 5.11 concealment undershirts? Not a quick draw rig but the gun sits tightly under your arm. I usually carry on my waist but the shirt allows you to tuck your dress shirt in. One undercover guy recommended using bike shorts or spandex. He said the gun stays put when tucked in and you can tuck in your shirt. I can not get used to spandex so it does not work for me. If your carry gun is small you could also try a pocket holster. They are not effective for medium or large guns.

You don’t have to carry appendix and can find tuckable holsters that go on the hip as well. I attached a pic I found on google.

You have many options to figure out a workable way to carry your gun in office attire.

Buy a holster from Dave at NSR. Excellent quality, customer service and he makes shit that has been extensively functionally tested. Here’s an excellent combo option for EDC.

That’s a good deal. I wish I saw that a little bit ago.


I just saw this and thought I’d share.

REALLY?? link?

I’d scoop one up. Colt’s run like a scalded dog. Excellent quality. They are on a short list of trust my life to AR platforms.

Is this a good deal or is the quality lacking and you get what you pay for?
