A Walther PP. A friend lent me what he called a Fobus holster.
Okay, thats not as bad as a Glock or other double stack. I carry my Ruger LCP (similar in size to the Walther PP I believe) in a Crossbreed Mini-Tuck. It's extremely comfortable and whenever I carry it after carrying my Glock 23, it completely disappears and I forget that I am wearing it.Quote:

I don't much care for Glocks. I'll look up Crossbreed Mini-Tuck. Maybe it's just that the whole idea of concealed carry is new to me, but I'm acutely aware of it on me. Having it in my waistband makes me kind of nervous. But it also could be the holster is just digging into me a bit.Quote:

If you are constantly fidgeting with it, people notice that. As long as it is properly secured in a good holster (in both materials and what you are using it for), there is no need to touch it.
The crossbreeds are most popular for comfort. Then again, it also depends on where you carry at. If you are looking at appendix carry, crossbreed sells a different model specifically for that. If you carry at 3 oclock, it should disappear completely in the mini-tuck.
For the record, I'm 6'2", 160lbs with a 32" waist. I can conceal my Glock 23 in my crossbreed super-tuck rather comfortably. Granted, I still know it is there. For the past 2.5 years, I have been carrying anytime I leave the house (not everyday due to working an odd schedule) and at the bare minimum, have my Ruger LCP on me either in iwb or in a pocket holster.
Yes, I need to find a comfortable holster and a comfortable place on me. Maybe an ankle carry would be less distracting?Quote:

Perhaps less distracting, but much harder to draw from as you'll HAVE to drop down to the ground to draw.Quote:
