I can get away with carrying a full sized Glock with shorts and a tshirt and I'm a skinny guy. Proper holster and belt make a world of difference. A PF9 is super easy to conceal. You could even throw it in a pocket holster and it would disapear in most shorts, cargo shorts would be even better.

I carry a Glock 19 almost everyday in a MTAC at 4 o'clock and it is fine with a tshirt.

A PF9 isn't the most comfortable gun in the world to shoot. It's rough on the hands (in my experience). It's better to carry something you are very familiar with that you've put at least a few hundred rounds down range with that you know you'll be able to hit what you're trying to.

What pistol do you currently have?

I have a PF-9 and carry it frequently. It's damn near as easy to conceal as a P3AT and not a lot of weight. Mine functions flawlessly with all types of ammo I've tried so far. Kel-Tec makes a belt clip for it, too.

One of my carry pistols is a P-11, which is easily concealed. I find it a bit easier to shoot than a PF9, although it's not entirely pleasant. As time and funds permit, I'll probably come up with a Glock 26 or 27 for daily wear. My Baby Eagles are great to shoot, but too large and heavy to carry on a daily basis, even with a good holster and belt. Same with my 1911.

Currently either a Glock 19 of 36 depending on how I need to carry it. I love my Glocks but even the 36 is really difficult not to print with. either SOB or shoulder holster work ok but in the summer can't shoulder holster and the handles show pretty easy with SOB. what about IWB an luck hiding a 36 IWB?

Got love to rock that combat Tupperware!!!!

any Kel-Tec is going to be soo easy to conceal compared to a Glock... the "boxy" design of German guns in general presents more of a challenge..

Kel-Tec's are more rounded, and will disappear- I've told my family I'm carrying my P11, and they still can't spot it- PF9 is thinner, even more concealable!

the trigger is lighter & smoother on a PF9 than a P11, I'd say the P11 needs a "fluff-n-buff" to be a great carry gun... Love mine now!

TFOGGER, if yours hasn't had a fluff-n-buff, PM me- I can point you to info on doing it... once done, the trigger isn't a big issue anymore. I did the work myself- not gunsmith level work, imho, just some polishing.

My dad used to have one and I found it pretty tough to shoot due to the long DAO trigger. I actually wish I could fire one accurately, such a nice and compact gun. However, when people compare the trigger to a staple gun I would have to agree.
