Concealed in the Summer

What are some secrets for carrying in the summer? I like to carry an XD subcompact 40, but it is a little hard to carry with just t-shirts covering. I would like to keep teh OWB holster. Maybe best to get a smaller gun for the summer months.

 

smaller gun bigger shirt lol. i have the same problem esp. when i wear shorts.
ive been looking at a little pocket gun or something too.

 

Move to California, you won't have to ever worry about concealing

 

I don't change how I carry that much during the summer. I tend to carry my G26 a little more but for the most part I continue to use my Wilderness Frequent Flyer belt and carry my G26 in a CCC Looper holster: http://www.shop.customcarryconcepts.com/product.sc?categoryId=3&productId=10

Generally I just go up one size on my t-shirt and I can carry just fine.

 

yeah i carry a Sig P6, in-the-pant holster works good for me

 

Been thinkin about trying to trade my Taurus .40 with someone for a smaller carry. Maybe a .380 or smaller 9mm. Can't carry mine too easy with shorts and a t-shirt.

 

Fatty. heh heh

::just went out a bought new pants for the carry piece::

 

For those of you that have Glocks, I've used the Clipdraw for many years (including when I was doing UC work) Works great!

That Clipdraw is exactly what I need. Looks like they have a universal fit for my Taurus. Thanks for the info.

 

thinking of buying a 380 for the summer, but prolly not. just keep doing what i'm oing, and imprint a little.

 

I love my dad's Ruger LCP, great summer carry gun.

 

I'ver heard that from a few people. I really want a .38 special of some sort. Looking at Ruger LCR.

 

keltech p 11 super thin and around 230 bucks

 

I have a little Keltec 380 for when I am in boardshorts and flip flops

 

haha yea im looking at the pf9

 

Awesome ideas, I'll take a look at them. Going to the gun store this week. I get my quarterly bonus!

 

IWB holsters for concealment! There is no OWB holster that I know of that can come close.

 

In the summer I switch from my G19 to my S&W 442. I use a desantis OWB holster and a button up short sleeve shirt. I can use a t-shirt, but I am a big guy and the button up fits a little looser and breaks the printing better. IWB is the best, but they are not comfortable on me.

 

I carry 24/7. I don't have a problem in the cooler months when I am wearing heavy clothes or jackets. But in the summer, I either carry a S&W 640 or a Glock 30SF in either a IWB holster or in a pocket holster when wearing long pants. I have been using Thunderware holsters for my carry guns for over 12 years now when I am wearing shorts. You wear it under your shorts and I can easily conceal my full sized Glock 21SF and not have to wear a shirt at all.
