    Default Any ideas for carrying in a suit?

    So unfortunatly in a couple weeks Im gonna have to break from my norm and wear a suit for a week. Im wondering if anyone has a good idea on how to ccw? It will be a highly populated event, and will have to wear my shirt tucked in the whole time. I looked at the back belt holsters that look like a weightlifters belt, but me being a tubby fella, dont know if it will work. HELP!!

    If you will leave your jacket on the whole time, just wear an IWB holster with your shirt tucked in UNDER the gun. This allows you to still draw quickly, but the jacket will cover the gun better than anything you've ever worn before.

    If you plan on taking your jacket off, then I guess just IWB with your shirt tucked in OVER the gun. If your gun is small enough, maybe ankle or pocket carry. If none of that sounds plausible to you, then perhaps consider some Thunderwear or something.

    I carry a glock 19. Ankle and pocket are kinda out. Im hoping a jacket will cover it right, and I suppose I should try tucking over my gun. Along the lines of thunderwear (not sure I like the idea of a pistol right by my meat) I just found an underarmor type shirt with holster holes in the armpits that Im giving some thought....

    I'm highly suspect of the under armor type shirts with the holster sewn in. How are you even going to get to your gun in that situation?

    If you haven't done regular IWB with the jacket on, try it out. You could conceal a confederate cavalry sword under a suit jacket.

    I think I saw it in the Blue Press, but it looked like a date book that was designed to carry a pistol.

    Yep, this. I think you will be surprised at how easy it is to conceal under your jacket

    Tubby fella? Haha yeah right dude, you should be fine with a tuckable IWB, good belt, and any compact pistola of your choice. Just pull your shirt out from your waistband a bit. Your G19 will conceal much better than my P229 did in this fashion.

    Follow the US Secret Service- shoulder holster and never remove your jacket, although to properly conceal you may need to get a tailored jacket to accommodate the pistol in holster.

    You should be getting fitted for the suits, right? Wear a shoulder holster to the fitting. They'll cut the suit so no one can tell. They may ask if you're a police officer or something, but just smile and be polite. Worked for me, ten years ago.
