You don't always need loose, over sized clothing to hide your weapon.
Case in point She's 5'11 105 and carrying the same thing OldMick is Carrying above:


My wife with a Sig P239

Protect: does it not hurt your side carrying that sig without a undershirt? I tried to carry both my P239 and my P220 and the sig hammers where they curve are as sharp as a razor! It was touchy then when I sat down in my car "ewowww" it bit the heck out of me!! ofcourse I have more meat and fat than you do. Just wonderin. I carry the exact same location you do but i like either hammerless or striker fired like glocks or M&P's for this reason. My 1911's have to have the round combat hammers also, plus I wear a underarmor shirt everywhere.

For those of you that have a job where you wear a more tailored look smartcarry is an option. I have no fear that i will be made at any time. My only con with the Smartcarry is that i could forsee a problem if I ever needed to draw while seated in a car... I will expand my holster selection for various needs but for now i'm going with the SC for daily use.



I thought the Smartcarry covers the whole pistol including the grips? Anyway, I could be wrong. It looks comfortable though. Thanks for sharing!

I don't have any experience with CC yet, but I've noticed the absense of Paddle holsters. Would some of you share your thoughts on them please?

Paddle holsters tend to hold the weapon farther off the body and tend to be less concealable. I have a couple of well made paddle holsters, my favorite being from Comp-Tac. I love carrying them, but can't conceal them.

I decided to give it a try,and no exageration,I feel better now using my right hand,after so much practice.The piece has a right hand thumb safety,so it makes sense anyway.I also carry my Microtech otf Makora on the left,so that gives both hands an option. ...Cheers,Carry ok.

That's a good idea!

Another option would be drilling a few holes in a cheapie Fobus paddle holster.

I always keep a few guns around the house in strategic locations.

Probably not a good idea, though, if you have little kids around.

I too have a few guns around the house. When my granddaughter comes over they all go in the safe except for what I (or my wife) am carrying.
