Post by: D-Rock425 on February 11, 2012, 07:16:54 AM: I carry mostly depending on where I'm going or what I'm doing. I know I should carry everyday but guns are frowned upon i work and I hate leaving it in the car all day.

Post by: sebek556 on February 11, 2012, 09:45:01 AM: I just switch to bigger t-shirts in the summer, my holster keeps it pinned up against me pretty well and most people think my xd is a cellphone :chuckle:

Post by: wraithen on February 11, 2012, 09:59:26 AM: I have to find a good place for shirts in the summer. Big and tall is too big but everyone else is too short. Apparently I have a long torso? I usually just wait until the sun is down and throw on a light hoodie or pullover. My favorite concealer is a big fluffy fleece but that's only for really cold days. If you see me in that, I'm carrying.

Exactly!

Post by: ghosthunter on February 11, 2012, 10:25:18 AM: I carry 365. Most the time day to day it is my SW sigma 9mm. Out in the woods,turkey,duck,deer,elk,bear hunting a tarus Judge with mixed loads.
I use to worry about conceal but not any longer. I dont care if they see it or not. Most the time I conceal and if I am going to any malls I cover up better but other than that I have no worries. Since open carry is legal.

check out duluth trading's website and take a look at their long tail Tee's same size t shirt just longer, they work great for guys like me inbetween sizes or just need a little more shirt

And it wouldn't be any great loss if you had to toss/ditch the Kel-Tech in the trash can right before the security check either. ;)

Post by: oneezreiter on February 11, 2012, 12:03:41 PM: Everytime I leave the house, ggod leather makes all the difference for concealing it. I carry a Sig p250 with shorts and a tee shirt with no problem.
Title: Re: How often do you concealed carry?
Post by: wraithen on February 11, 2012, 01:25:22 PM: Good leather helps a lot. For someone looking out, it's pretty easy to see a print on most people. I could hide it by tucking in my shirt over the grip but then I wouldn't be able to grab it as easily.

Raven Kydex works great! :tup:

Post by: jaymark6655 on February 11, 2012, 08:26:43 PM: I try to carry as much as I can, really wish I could carry on campus. That is the place where I feel I would need it the most (bad surrounding neighborhood, someone was just shot outside of campus last week).
Title: Re: How often do you concealed carry?
Post by: kenzmad on February 11, 2012, 08:43:58 PM: I carry every day. If in jeans, I carry in a crossbreed supertuck. If in shorts, either the crossbreed or the smartcarry. It is a little unnerving having a loaded pistol next to the family jewels but it works great. I can pass a pat down with the smartcarry holster. best thing to do though is to get a quality gun belt. dress belts just don't hole up as well as a good gun belt. glock 26 is what I carry

Same here, in Summer shorts with a belt and an extra large T-shirt conceals my service XD40 4 in. in a Galco King Tuk very well. This has been by far the most comfortable and most concealing combination.

I am looking for another OWD to add to my "wardrobe" my Serpa's are not the best for concealing, lol
Any other OWB suggestions for concealment?
