It's getting to warm for a suit coat at work now, and I am struggling to find a way to carry at work. I was sitting in a chair at the Monday manager meeting, and noticed that no matter how high my slacks rode up, they didn't clear the shaft of my boots. I always wear cowboy boots at work, with normal dress slacks, no cuff regular leg profile.

Anyone here tried it? Can you get a holster for a J frame in your boots, and high enough on your calf?

Thanks, Tom

It should be possible to do. I know a guy that sticks a keltec in his boot using a clip draw, I think thats what it is called. Not sure how a j frame would work though. I have thought about that myself for when I wear cowboy boots. I guess it depends how stiff the boot shafts are as well.

I carried a Kahr PM9 in a DeSantis Nemesis stuck in the inside top of my left cowboy boot for a couple of years.

Great setup. It works. I was never "made", and could always reach the piece.

I most always wear boots and slacks at work too. I have not tried a hoster in a boot, but a clip I think would work well. However, I do have a NAA 22mag with a small hoster that I could carry that way, but I havn't had to resort to that weapon as yet. Keep us posted.

I knew a guy that had a piece of leather sewn into his boots to hold a .38,it always worked for him.

Tell me more, I work for great folks, just don't want to put them on the spot. How did you carry?

I carry an SP101 in a Galco Ankle Band. You have to fiddle with it some, but it will work with cowboy boots (it's an elastic band with velcro).

I always thought it would be a cool idea to have a holster maker sew one onto the boot in matching leather. This way it's in the same position as an ankle holster

I've been considering having a holster sewn into my riding boots as well, but have concerns that the weight of the sidearm would eventually collapse the boot uppers???? I guess it could be reinforced with some type of support piece.....

I don't want anything attached to the uppers, I rotate through 3 or 4 pairs of boots. I am just wondering if anyone had any luck with a ankle rig and boots with a J frame sized gun.
