How to carry a G27 in the Tropics?
Hello guys and gals,
Nine months ago I sold my home in Florida and moved with my wife to Central America. I had to sell my SIG, because I understood it would be next to impossible to import it. Took me eight months to get a permit, they made me run through hoops (they even took DNA samples) but I was finally authorized to purchase a brand new G27 (.40). I don't care if they call it a baby Glock, it's a nice bit of stuff... What to do with it, between trips to the range? Glove compartment?
I have been looking at what you are carrying, and apparently waist bands, and under arm slings are subject to ridicule. I am still desperately evaluating all my options... I was thinking ankle holster, but I get the feeling few of you are using them... OWB? I don't want to get me killed. Since it's a really small gun, even with the small magazine extension (otherwise, I could not grab it, plus I get 10 rounds) I suppose I could tuck it inside my pants.
Leather is a problem in the Tropics, it gets moldy within 24 hours, so maybe something synthetic? With the trigger fully covered, if I decide to carry cocked (but I suppose this would be another thread)... I am looking for the best possible concealment. I don't want anyone at the office (I'm a real estate broker associate) to suspect I'm carrying (a baby!). I DO NOT use shirts or T-shirts outside my pants (dress slacks to jeans). Do I REALLY need to get a special belt? I don't need to draw superfast. I just need to have the gun nearby. I used to own a Browning Hi-Power 9mm and I had carved the inside of a book, that I could carry anywhere if I felt the need to do so. What exactly would be wrong with an ankle holster? Or with a waist band inside my pants? Would that make me a sissy - in your macho eyes? I could live with that, I'm a practical guy. Thank you for your advice!
