Think outside the holster?

Post by SecedeTX »

I saw this at a store in Houston. Has anyone had any real world experience with the method of CC? I was thinking it would be good for times when you need to wear a suit and tie (which I do alot of)

It looks like it would work well, I am just worried how the weight of the firearm would effect it. I carry an all stainless 9mm, so it is a bit heavy.

FWIW, I've found my UnderArmor holster to be very comfortable.
I carry an all steel revolver or automatic (I don't care for plastic guns) LOL

Any small frame weapon works fine. Large frame weapons are hard to draw.
Hope that helps,
Happy Trails! N

IWB works well if you wear a suit. A suit coat is usually long enough and has enough body to be an excellent cover garment.
We're here. With gear. Get used to it.

Throw in a matching pair of britches and you've got one heck of a Super Hero suit. :mrgreen:

They make pants too??? I gotta get one of those also now!

I think I am finally starting to understand my wife buying so many assecories when she shops for clothes.

I have three holsters, really need the undershirt and pants, and need a holster for my second mag.

It still will not justify how much my wife shops, but after 12 years of marriage, I get it a little bit.

I know what you mean. And to make it worse, my holsters, pouches, and gun belt must match my shoes.
Anything else would be a fashion faux pas. ;-)

I can only wear my Galco inside the belt holster with my Ariat Belt (matching color) with my 1971 Texas State buckle (brass, Tony Lama limited edition, not polished) because it matches my boots. Mind you, my belt, buckle, Galco holster, is covered by my golf shirt.

I match, the belt is "fabulous", holster is the same leather, and nobody will ever know because it is concealed. *slaps self on forehead*

At least in my own mind I am perfectly dressed.

Everyone else just sees a dude with jeans, nice boots, and a golf shirt that is untucked.

That reminds me of when i went shopping for wetsuits. All of the manicans looked good in the wetsuit but when I tried it on I didn't look anything like them. Moral of the story is when I go diving I'm cold so other people can enjoy their trip
