I carry my NAA .32 Guardian with the laser slipper in a back pants pocket. When I bend over it says “wallet”. Not much horsepower, but perfect concealment thoughout the day. Jack.

Joe bears an uncanny resemblance to Patrick Stewart in the second photo, the Captain of the Enterprise in Star Trek, TNG.

I�ve trying to envision how you conceal a piece using a ClipDraw in the front pocket and just can�t see how that works. Can you link to an image for us slow California types?

I like QuikClip also. Here is a picture of it on my Chiefs Special. I’m a small guy and it disappears in my front pocket.

Les Jones wins the prize!

As near as I can tell only other gun people notice enough to say the probabilties are high that there is a gun.

Most of the tells illustrated in the link can be overcome with a good holster and some confidence in your concealment.

Joe: in the bottom photo I see a clip on your belt for an IWB-type holster.

I also see a clip for a tactical folder in a front pocket. Someone mentioned on The High Road that that’s almost a tell. Most people who have CCWs also have a tactical folder. I know I do.

I was carrying in all these photos. Can you spot where and how? It's a fullsized 1911 style with a 5" barrel, double stack magazine with 18 rounds of .40 S&W plus 1 in the chamber.

“…with a big white �hp� logo on it.”

Why advertise the type of ammo you’re carrying?

I’ve seen a Kel-Tec P3AT carried in a Velcro closed PDA case with a big white “hp” logo on it.

Professional looking in nearly any setting.

Here in FL, any older person can get away with the fashion faux pas of wearing a fanny pack. I pretty much assume if I see a fanny pack, especially on someone who isn’t 80 years old, it is probably for their concealed weapon.

Personally, as convenient as a fanny pack would be, I could never bring myself to wear one. Plus, it would be extremely obvious why I was wearing it, defeating the purpose in some cases.

The company that makes Smart Carry holsters is right down the road from me… I’m thinking about one of them.
