Best way to wear but hide a handgun while wearing a shirt & tie?

[swanny70]

I am in Insurance and I visit customers in their own home a lot, What is the best way to have a handgun on me that the customer will not see? I usually wear a suit but a lot of times I leave my jacket in the car so how do I hide my handgun?

Ankle or belly band would be my guess as I have no experience with either

What gun do you have? Can you put it in a pocket? Do you carry a bag with you or a binder?

Open.

Stop leaving your jacket in your car. Get some unlined ones for the Summer. Problem solved.

I have a S/W 38 and I have a .45, also I carry a bag into the homes. It's not so much while I'm in the homes that concerns me as much as going in and coming out that worries me especially on evening appointments. I leave the jacket in the car during the summer because of the heat and in the winter I wear a long heavy coat but remove it when I get inside, so I don't want the customer to see it but I need easy access when leaving to go back to my car after the appointment.

The trade off with deep concealment is two fold. One you can't carry as big of a gun and two the gun isn't as accessible. Everything in the world of handguns is a compromise of sorts. I prefer to carry a larger handgun in a caliber that I can shoot accurately. But I frequently find myself in situations where this is just not possible. So OP I understand. Some options are:
1) belly band
2) smart carry
3) pocket holster
4) ankle holster
5) off body in a day planner or iPad case

unfortunately none of these options are ideal or even really very good. But they do allow a person to at least have a gun. I have tried or employed all of these methods. Of the list the off body method is least desirable for me because I might leave the pistol unsecured. Belly bands are hot! I like ankle carry for a BUG but not as primary carry method, but if you are sitting frequently it is an option. Smart carry works well and I like the holster but drawing the gun is slow and t makes me nervous with striker fired guns. Pocket carry is ok but doesn't work we'll while seated, plus suit pants have crappy pockets.

What type of S&W in .38 spl? 642 or other JFrame revolver perhaps.

I've worn a full sized 1911 in a crossbreed supertuck and no one was the wiser. Shirt tucked in, nice tie.

I would start here:

Master Tuk - Everyday Holsters

Tactical operator cape. You can sew molle strips on the inside.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Pocket carry
OWB under a nice jacket
or wear a snazzy cape.

 

[Gluemanz28]

May I suggest the Tactical Kilt



You will have to upgrade the seat in your car though.

Pocket carry
OWB under a nice jacket

Capes would be awesome. Or a sash and pirate carry.
