Making progress with concealed carry

I got the idea from the Raven Concealment web site. I was looking for a Phantom holster to try yet another holster for IWB carry of my G23. I noticed they had an appendix carry holster called the ACR. Both holster models come as OWB but can be converted to IWB. That got me to thinking, why not try some form of appendix carry.

The ACR is an IWB-only holster. You might be able to attach OWB loops to it, but it certainly does not come with them.
 
I OWB carry at 4 O'Clock in a Lobo Pancake most of the time with Revolvers. I normally go to an Avenger style holster with my 1911, or XDm 40.

I have lots of Carry Shirts. I have 5 Woolrich Discrete Carry Shirts. I probably have another half dozen Fishing Shirts. I have a few others also. I just keep an eye open for shirts that can be worn with the tail out that fit loose enough for belt carry. Also I keep an eye on length.

Today I went to Church casual. Blue Jeans, Cowboy Boots, and a new short sleeve Rigg Shirt worn with the tail out. I was carrying a S&W 442 Pro Moon Clip with 2 spare Moon Clips of 38 +P infront of the holster carryed in a California Competition J Frame Moon Clip Carrier.

Tomorrow I will probably be carrying my 2-1/2" Model 66 snub with 2 shotshells up front for snakes. Then again I might carry my LCR-22 with 8 Stingers. Bagged a Copperhead with it over the weekend.

The more you carry the more comfortable you get. I had 17 years experiance concealed carrying as an LE before we got Concealed Carry here in Missouri.

I have a couple buddies who carry in the back pocket of their jeans. If the jeans do not fit tight a J Frame carrys fine in this manner.

One thing I do is swap my Billfold to my Left Front Pocket when I carry anything with a barrel over 2". In tight jeans I have also moved the billfold to a shirt pocket. Carrying at 4 O'Clock the barrel if over the top of the pocket with anything over a 2-1/2" barrel length. A 2-1/2" is border line getting my billfold out without showing leather. I have to be careful.

Work the bugs out as you go. After a while you will have a closet full of Jack Shirts, long Wind Breakers, long jackets, etc.

Thanks for the clarification on the ACR being IWB only. The Fricke OWB is pretty good for appendix, so hopefully the ACR will work well for the inside.
