Back when I worked as a carpenter's flunky, I carried IWB appendix -- underneath the tool belt, under the rain gear, under outer clothing. It was basically inaccessible in those circumstances, but it wasn't left in an unsecured vehicle (shared truck) all day, and I didn't go to work without it. The nice thing was that I always had a good solid framing hammer, a boxcutter, a sawzall, and all sorts of other useful weapons readily to hand. The firearm was simply there for when I was off the job site and had removed my tool belt.

Is it possible to wear cargo style pants, and use the side pocket with a good pocket holster?

I've been wearing cargo shorts/pants for a while now. I've found they give me a lot of carry options.

I think the holster shirt is a great option. A smaller gun like a LCP or a P11 just disappears. Wear a button up shirt and you are good to go.

I carry my LCP in my cargo pants pocket when I wear them and it also is unnoticeable. It does not weigh much. If I had to choose between a .380 and nothing I choose a .380. Something to think about.

I have also a holster by abetterhoslter and I find that my glock 26 pokes me in the back of my arm. I have not tried it while PPK or Seecamp .32 When I pull the shirt down it is much better until the fabic slide back up. I do not know if the fabic will relax after time or with more washings. As silly as this sounds I feel that I need the old fashion straps that hold up your socks but use they upside down to hold the shirt down.
Going out to dinner tonight, if the wife gives me a button down shirt to wear will try it with the ppk.

I use a tool belt and finally came up with a solution. I bought a gear pouch that attaches to my tool belt. It has a zipper on it. I carry my 642 airweight in it. A heavy gun just wouldnt work. It's actually easy to get to the gun.

I worked as a carpenter before, i used tall work boots that fit snug well up over the ankle, then i used a good ankle holster with a .38 snubnose strapped right above the boot and the boot would keep it up. then make sure your pants are long enough to touch the back sole of your shoe and you should be fine, my brother wears these redwing workboots that where pull on like cowboy boots, he could fit anything down there under the leather and with the pants over you would never see it

Yep, keeping a pistol in your bags is a BIG no no, truck is out as well.. I leave the keys in the truck that way if my truck needs moved the operators don't have to waste time finding me. I never worried about accessing a gun when my bags were on, plenty of available CQC weapons... framers hatchet, chisel, screwdriver, etc. I opted for pocket carrying a P3AT, worked well for me.

Pocket carry might be your best option.

CrossBreed tuckable IWB style holster.

I am a field service mechanic, and I carry a full size auto all day every day @ 4 O'clock.

I have not had a problem with tool belts, Tac Vest (I use it as a tool carrier when I have to work on something that going back and forth to my truck is not easily done and the area is confined) and a Japanese Slingshot (OSHA fall protection harness).
