CC Problems

[rossivey]

People don't notice. I think you are being paranoid because you know what it is. I carry a Glock 19 (full size .40) and it leaves a bump. People will not notice. Period (unless it is another CCer). In fact, my wife usually has to ask if I have it on and my kids have never noticed I have it on.

Next time you go out see if you notice anything on any particular person as you are walking around. You won't unless you are intentionally looking. If it makes you feel better, wear a little bit bigger shirt. Maybe try a small of back holster? If not, you can always go pocket pistol. I have a Taurus 738 TCP that is tiny. You can't detect that one at all. It holds 6 .380 acp. My Glock holds 15 .40 rounds. I like my chances better with the big one.

Just got to relax and be natural.

Glock 19 is a Compact 9mm. Full Size .40 is Glock 22. I have the 19 and you can't tell it's there most of the time. I was paranoid when I first started carrying too but I know the law so I'm cool with it now.

To help my skinny butt out with printing i bought a 1911 with a bob tail grip. Made a huge difference and i carry a 1911 year round.


Try giving your holster a more extreme cant to it.

The more you continue to carry the less concerned you become with printing. There are times i throw on a white underside with my 1911 and nobody knows i have it.

get a man purse...AKA fanny pack

Sadly my instructor said this was what he recommended.

Personally I carry large frame guns (1911 or Glock 22 with a tlr light) year round and this is what I have found over the years. IWB is easier to hide than OWB. With either if you cant the holster forward so the frame goes up your body more it hides better. Also move the holster back so it is just behind the seam line of you pants. When you do this and bend over the frame of the gun lies on your kidney. Also get thicker shirts and darker colors I have found carhart t shirts work very well. Hope this helps.

Oops...got them flipped. Just insert Glock 22 into my post instead of 19. I carry the full size model.
