Concealed weapons carrying.?
What is the best type of holster for carrying a concealed handgun.
I have to wear a tucked in shirt and a belt because of work.
Half the time it is casual and half the time it is a shirt and tie.
I have heard conflicting reports about the pager pal, and the Smart carry.
Some people like them some dont.
I want something that is comftorble, easy to get to in a hurry, and safe.
The type of gun is not too important as I own several now that my father left me several in his will.
What are your recomendations.
I have a few extra pounds.
I am 5’10 and weigh about 230.
Male, right hander.
Unfortunately, your requirement for “comfortable, easy to get to in a hurry and safe” does not fit well with your requirements for dress: Tucked in shirt and belt.
Usually if the hoslter is quickly accessible, that’s because it’s not as well concealed. The more concealed it is, the harder it will be to get to in a hurry.
Some considerations:
Do you sit a lot (desk job)? Ankle holsters are more likely to show.
Do you bend over a lot to pick things up (Stocking, heavy lifting)? Small of back is out, smartcarry could be uncomfortable, ankle holster could show.
Do you normally wear a suit/jacket/blazer, or any type of covering garment (vest, sweater)? If so, then your options open up, but you still need to be careful. (I presume you don’t want anyone at work knowing that you carry.)
Aside from the previous answers, you may want to consider Thunderwear (like smartcarry) depending on your situation.
You also should consider the CTAC from comp-tac. With the option of the velcro mounting system, the tabs that hold the holster in place disappear behind your belt (they actually attach to your belt with velcro). By tucking the gun under your shirt, and “blousing” the shirt around your waist a little, you can effectively hide most guns.
What do you carry? Larger frame guns are obviously more difficult to conceal. Depending upon what you carry, you may simply have to find something else. I ended up doing this when my Ruger P97 was simply too large to conceal well. I loved the gun, but I couldn’t conceal it as well as I liked. I carry a Walther P99c now.
I also can recommend wearing darker shirts, shirts with patterns (the more, the better), and whenever possible on casual days and such, wear “Hawaiian” shirts. The wild prints make it near impossible to notice anything underneath.
Pocket holsters work well with wide pockets (dockers, dress pants), but you give up firepower in both capacity and caliber. A .32 is still better than nothing, though.
I intensely dislike “off body” carry, like briefcases, purses and day planners. Leave it behind by accident just once and you’ll know why.
Good luck.
