I have some questions for you experienced "Concealed Carriers".
First of all, let me give you a little background info.
I am going into LE, an am attending a Reserve class being put on by our community college. But the only downside to the whole thing is I have to put myself through the class, witch in turn meens, use my own money . All said and done the total should end up somewhere around $2100. So, the pistol I chose is a Beretta 96FS. I love the pistol. But the class has depleated my cash supply for a while. Witch meens I will have to carry this pistol for my concealed weapon. Witch, mind you, I have no complaints about. Antisipating this, I purchased a Passport univeral holster that can be modified to inside the pants or carried on the belt etc... But, because of work, I can't carry it in the office.
I am 6'05" tall and 215lbs. So, concealing the weapon isn't to hard. Being as how I'm not over weight . Also, living in Washington, flannel is a highly accepted type of overshirt, due to the weather and grunge steriotype. But, having to remove the holster so often in a day is hard. Especially if it is "in the pants". I have considered getting a paddle holster, such as a Bianchi model (What can I say, I like the "Accumold" fit). So, does any one have any opinions on this type of holster? Are they harder to conceal? Etc...
Also, sence I am a little new at concealing my pistol and don't want to be accused of 'printing'. So, if veteran carrier's have any ideas, hints, tips and tricks please, let me know. The class will give some advice, but I would like to hears some from people who have been carrying for a while.
Thanks in advance for any advice posted!
