CC in a suit

I need suggestions on CC when wearing a suit

I would think that OWB or a shoulder holster would make the most sense.

Try here. Have you tried the search function? I believe this topic has been addressed before, if memory serves.

MY suits are "cut" to accomodate a gun IWB. Of course, I can't remove my coat then, unless I want to reveal that I'm armed.

If "deep concealment" is needed with a suit I favor a J-Frame Airweight in the pocket and the "Primary" gun under my shirt in a "tuckable" holster or Belly Band.

It depends if you'll be wearing the jacket or not. If you're going to wear the jacket all the time you can do almost anything. If not it'll be just like carrying with a tucked in shirt. In any case, be sure to have a good belt designed for concealed carry - it will do wonders for comfort and ease of concealment.

IMO - if jacket can be kept on - then a good shoulder rig can be ideal ... assuming the jacket is cut to have adequate freedom and space. That anyways would be my prime choice.

depends on what you have!
really just about anything can work. shoulder if you dont have to take your jacket off. otherwise tuckable IWB or smartcarry type of a thing would be best.
my fiance has carried his snubby in a tuckable IWB, suit coat off. no problems at all. despite it being a family reunion with lots of hugs

Smartcarry
Pocket holster
IWB with coat left on
IWB tuckable (See Blade Tech UCH or the K&D Dakota Defender)

I do not like the shoulder holster because simply leaning forward exposes the gun. With the first two methods mentioned I carry a S&W Model 60. The last two I use either a Firestar M43 or 5" 1911.

I have to carry this way and use the following

Smartcarry

Pocketcarry

Tuckable

In that order of prefence. Truth be told if I spent more money on a decent tuckable it would probably become my favorite method of carry.
