What is the best concealed carry rig?

Gee... if you want to give "Sig Lover" a payback try PM or email :rolleyes: He's not even in this thread.

Being a retired surgeon, jeans and t-shirts are my uniform of the day, every day. Requires a t-shirt, preferably dark with some distracting logo for favorite sport team (Colorado Avalanche at the moment) and about one or two sizes larger than you usually need. I use a Rosen ARG usually but, on other occasions, a Sparks EX, and conceal a Glock 20 very well. I'm sure there are other equally good combos but this works for me. No one would expect a retired surgeon to have anything to hide! As usual, YMMV. :rolleyes:
 
This is where the Keltec P-32 or P-40 ,if you feel the need for real power comes into play. The P-32 can be carried like a wallet in a Ken Campbell custom pocket holster.or even dropped into a shirt pocket like a pack of smokes, sans holster. While the P-40 can just be dropped into the front pocket of an oversized pair of jeans and carried comfortably, with 10 rounds of .40 cal in the gun ready for instant use.

Please allow me to very respectfully disagree on one suggestion... the Kel-Tec P40... I mean, I couldn't reccomend any pistol to my TFL buddies that the company that made 'em STOPPED making 'em because they were so unreliable. Good ones do exist, but they're few and far between, and I'm sure those owners are holding on to 'em.

Now since you didn't say what pistol you'd be concealing, (that kinda matters) I'll be generic.
Using a quality IWB and a quality belt, I've found that I don't even have to "upsize" my shirts to cover a slimmer pistol, like the Kahr, BHP, etc... And I gotta agree that everyone should have one of Gunslinger's bellybands, cuz there's so many ways to carry using one. And if your pistol's small enough for the SmartCarry,(MK9, G26), you can even wear a Tucked in T-shirt with those jeans :)
BTW GRD... what's the difference in Gunslinger's IMPROVED Bellyband?
 
every day, everywhere [almost]

Pocket gun in pocket holster :)

Well Onslaught, it's Improved of course!

Seriously, it's just the regular one, but that's what Gunslinger called it when he had to come up with a name once...so that's what I call it. :) Great item, great folks, great googly moogly.

Hey, I used to talk to KYTAC back in the AOL days =)
He's a nice guy, makes great holsters too!
 
I live i SW Florida where the temps hover in the 90s most of the time, not to mention the humidity. I carry everything from a glock 22 , cz75 compact to my 2 inch snub in a law concealment systems nylon SOB holster. Truly one size fitsem all, and is actually comfortable. I drive my truck 10 hours a d ay with mine and hardly notice it there. I also wear this rig with shorts and t shirts and have never printed as far as I can tell.
 
Hmmm... I would certainly appreciate an online source to check out the "law concealment systems nylon SOB holster". Sounds convenient, being "one size fitsem all".

As of yesterday, I'm the proud owner of a Comp-Tac Shirt Tucker for my Kahr P40. I put it on, with jeans and a black T-Shirt (my size, not a size larger)... Bianchi pistol belt, and WOW! You can't see it at all! My shirt was TUCKED IN to my blue jeans, pistol in the IWB, just left of SOB (I'm a leftie) and NO PRINTING whatsoever... had the two mirrors going on to see from behind, NOTHING (except the little black clip that holds it to my belt)... I LOVE this thing. I am TRULY amazed that, from my impressions yesterday, it appears that I will be able to wear my normal clothes, without untucking, or wearing some vest or extra shirt in the 90+ degree, 95% humidity GA WEATHER!

I'm planning on posting a new thread about it after I've used it for a couple weeks....

Onslaught...I had one of the Law Concealment SOB holsters...though in leather, rather than nylon. Most uncomfortable method of carry I've yet tried. Unfortunately, the "one size fits all" for guns makes for a bulky, blocky holster that protrudes in all the wrong places...didn't find that it concealed very well, either - printed like crazy. Unfortunately, it was my first attempt at IWB carry, and it turned me off to it for a couple years...then I got tired of a fanny pack, and got some "regular" IWB holsters.....
 
Down here in SouthAmerica, whoops, Miami, tee shirts and shorts or jeans is pretty much the standard uniform. I have no trouble carrying a .40 BHP or a Colt Series 70 Commander tucked behind the hip in a Sam Andrews IWB holster. A shirt worn out covers these pretty good. I like a saddle a lot also, and wear one with a denim or hawaiian shir worn over it. I am fairly good sized, and can conceal even one of my N frame Smiths that way. (yeah, I know this is the Semi auto forum)
 
Aahzz

I find it odd that you would think the LCS SOB holster uncomfortable. Guess different folks have different comfort levels. I have never had a problem with mine printing. I have the black nylon and the tan leather models, although I have yet to wear the leather. The nylon is by far more comfortable and less prone to printing than my leather conceal rigs from custom makers (aker, sparks etc.) Could be because I am 6'1 and 245 pounds but mine stays where I want it and hides very well, and as I said I am in my company pickup about 10 hours a day and never ger the pains that I did when wearing a strong side belt or IWB rig seated for long periods. As I said I carry everything from a Glock 22 to a 2 inch snub wheelgun in mine with ease and comfort.

Mattrt o fact the only downside I have found is in florida you sweat alot and the nylon can tend to reak after awhile but thats nothin a little odors away cant fix.
