Every one was way too expensive to make any sense (given that you have to change it out every day of the week), and additionally way too warm for summer use.<br /><br />I'm no expert, but I like a regular holster under an untucked, long, largish T-shirt. Maybe it prints a bit at times, maybe it looks a little on the dorkish side, but I'm too old to care. It keeps me reasonably cool. Also one does not have to compromise on the gun at all; I use a Walther PPQ.Paul Bonneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279129269584372919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988046816576439468.post-72156588746985865232015-07-22T13:00:42.949-07:002015-07-22T13:00:42.949-07:00I agree, Kevin.

I've never even been there. :)<br /><br />In the ten years I've carried constantly, I've tried a good number of CC rigs, mostly because I teach both OC and CC, so need to know. I CC at times, mostly for the same reason. Once in a great while, I go out of state and actually need to CC - more or less. <br /><br />I finally settled on a CC "fanny pack" of good leather, which holds either the .357 revolver or the XD 9mm, plus speed loaders or extra magazine. It is difficult to draw from cleanly, and I can't imagine preferring that to my easy rider belt OC holster. Those cost a fraction of any CC rig I've seen, and the draw is immediate, smooth and effective. I've completely worn out two of them so far. :)<br /><br />With dedicated efforts to practice situational awareness, an environment where guns and those who carry them are readily accepted, and the option to carry how and where I want... the major problem is to maintain the level of awareness and skill needed to meet that one in a million threat that might present itself. The hardest part is preparing to meet the situation you pray will never come, and which might never materialize...

I fully admit that I take pains to keep it all out of sight, which incurs its costs both in wardrobe and in attention to body movement, and there are certainly times when it would seem easier to just wear the piece openly. But I don't imagine I'll be changing that personal policy any time soon, and so I'm always on the lookout for stuff that works.Kevin Wilmethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368887768008126052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988046816576439468.post-59894498171709208832015-07-21T11:28:44.117-07:002015-07-21T11:28:44.117-07:00$75 bucks for a SHIRT?
