Who here carries at work? If so what's your setup?
I currently do at the moment, 4" XD in a Smart Carry Holster...it's comfortable but I'm not entirely comfortable with having to draw with it while sitting (which I do 90%) of the day. It conceals the gun pretty well minus the grip but an untucked sweater or polo covers it well. Dress code is pretty lax at work, Fall/Spring - Jeans and Polo (untucked), Winter Jeans and Sweaters and Summer Shorts and Polo (untucked). Looking for a new gun/mode of carry. My XD hides pretty well in a Galco Kingtuck, but I want to be as discrete as possible. No one here knows I carry and I plan on keeping it that way unless SHTF. Couple of small guns I've shot, Kahr CM9 and S&W 38 Snub. Shot the Kahr pretty well was all over the map with the 38. I'm not totally opposed to a .380 but was hoping I could make 9mm work as I already reload that. Input anyone? |

You now carry what I used to. I did not care if I printed and open is legal here so it was not an issue. I now am a situation where complete concealment is a must as to not scare the sheep. I am still legal to carry but a different situation. I went with the Kahr PM9 in a crossbreed supertuck and it is very easy to hide even in the summer with shorts and a t-shirt. I coach baseball and have warmed up the pitcher from behind the plate in front of a crowd and noone was wise to my carry. Im 5'10" and 190 if that helps.
eta: I can easily draw from a sitting position. |

Got your next job lined up yet? "No one here knows I carry and I plan on keeping it that way unless SHTF".....good luck with that career plan. Best. I work for an extremely small company, we don't have an employee handbook or any rules that I've agreed to. The way I look at it is I can get fired for anything and no job is worth losing my life over sooooo that is my choice. I know I'm not the only one who carries under the radar on this forum. I go by it's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. I'm not breaking any laws so the worst thing is I'm out of a job. |

Thanks for the input.
I will have to check out a LCP never shot one, I'm sure my range has a rental. I held a LC9 when I was considering a super small 9 and didn't like how it felt in hand but we'll see. The Kahr CM9 was surprising easy/fun to shoot. PF-9 was considered as it felt okay in hand but they didn't have a rental, I'm kinda hesitant spending money on something I haven't at least put a mag through. |

Practice more to get better at the draw, but if you want something that damn near as conceallable with a 9mm double stack...

| I have a relaxed dress code at work too. I carry a Glock 19 or 30 in a Comptac Minotaur every day. Their grips are only slightly shorter than the Xds. I prefer a button down shirt untucked, because its less clingy than a polo. If the grip of the XD prints the smaller versions of the XD/XDm may be better for you. Carry your gun when you go clothes shopping. |

My job sounds a lot like yours.
Same dress code. Sitting all damn day. I'm a very normal sized dude, 5'11 175 lbs. I carry my kel tec pf-9 iwb at 3 o-clockish with the side clip. I wear it under plain t-shirts with 100% confidence that no one can tell I have it. I wear it like this all day, I don't even feel it. Extra mag in my front left pocket. |
