Quote HistoryAnd another thing: lose the laser. Use your sights, don't chase a dot, you're not a cat.
I don't use the laser for precision. The laser/flashlight is for two reasons. 1) I need the flashlight for dark shooting situations (walking in parking lots at nights, etc.). I've had issues before where my dad dropped something in the kitchen late at night in the dark and I got up to investigate. i called out and he didnt respond so I immediately assumed it was an intruder and he almost caught a knife in his kidney. He's hard of hearing. I don't ever want to be in that situation again. I cant be responsible for his action, I can only be responsible for mine. I have to be the responsible one. 2) I don't use the laser portion instead of sites. That would be foolish since they're only set for complete accuracy as 15 ft. What happens if my threat is closer or further away I use it more like a general guideline of where i'm shooting. I am disabled physically so this guideline is extremely helpful. if the laser were to ever stop working in a time that I needed it though, I don't believe I would have any issue shooting without it. I train for both at the range. Also, a lovely pair of night sites are on my list for Santa this year. ;) |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
if you occasionally dress in cargo shorts...a lot slower, but I have a very low perception of threat... I use a Recluse two side cargo model designed for cargo shorts if you typically wear them...slit front allows access to the grip and still hides the outline... the perception that others will know you are carrying is common when you are new to concealed carry... most people don't have a clue... with the shall issue provision in Florida, you are not alone with a tell tale bulge, that most mistake for a cell phone case Concur. The # of people that CCW is so small (even in a permitless state like AZ) and your average person's (lack of) situational awareness makes this true. I wouldn't (don't) really worry about printing (I normally carry a [full size] Sig P226R or at least a G23) under a T-shirt; I'm not concerned if the butt prints or the bottom of the holster shows below the shirt. You might also try asking this question in the women's forum...I doubt many of the "Girls of ARFCOM" will see it here. |

T-Shirt / Jeans = not conducive to carry. Baggy clothes do not necessarily make you conspicuous. You have to compromise SOMEWHERE. I pocket carry a Sig P938. It's thinner than the G42 (and my Ruger LCR, and my LC380 (which I sold when I found the Sig,) and it's very comfortable to shoot. My friend's Bodyguard in .380 is 'snappier' than my 9mm. I'm a little 'chunky' for IWB, and I don't trust OWB without some sort of covering garment, like a jacket. Pocket carry is the way to go. I'm willing to give up the light and the laser. Most SD scenarios happen at close distances, and a good set of night sights is what I'll rely on. Would I like to have a rally small light (say, the size of a Crimson Trace...)? Absolutely. Much staying concealed is more important to me. My two cents. Good point. |

Purse carry is a horrible idea. For so many reasons. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
most people are oblivious of people printing. I don't know if it's because of so many people here in Florida carry or just we are so used to phones in pockets or on belts, I don't really know. I carry a Sig P229 Elite with the threaded barrel on it so it's a little longer and the beavertail on the Elite is more pronounced and I have only been made a few times and I carry everyday since 87. If you are a woman just carry in your purse, that is where my wife carries her .357 S&W Purse carry is a horrible idea. For so many reasons. I was going to say that if you do carry one in your purse (or murse and the case may be  ) you'd better carry a backup somewhere else.

They design purses for carry. It is not the ideal access but you can shoot through the bag if you had to. If I have a wife she can carry a gun in any manner she is comfortable with, and trains from that scenario. As far as other kids getting into your purse, that again is the responsibility of the holder to have the bag in appropriate place of safety. |

Priority 1 Holsters offer an IWB with light option with a concealment wing to help tuck the grip in closer to the body. I have one for my Shield with TLR-1, and my Shield with TLR-6.
I only use them at work, because most everyone, including the owner, is anti gun. I work in a retail environment, and wear light weight polos over a tucked in undershirt. Lots of lifting, reaching, etc, and even the Glock doesn't give me any printing issue. Granted, I'm 6' and 180 lbs, but prior to a straight drop IWB with wing, the Glock 23 printed like crazy, so my 27 got carried more often. |

I added the sights to the LCP <a href="http://s825.photobucket.com/user/LesSnyder/media/001_zps09d9461d.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz180/LesSnyder/001_zps09d9461d.jpg</a> I carried the LCP in a modified Andrews Custom Leather pocket holster to which I added the kydex flap to help prevent printing... at the time Florida had a strict no printing law, which has now been amended <a href="http://s825.photobucket.com/user/LesSnyder/media/001_zpsa7240e12.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz180/LesSnyder/001_zpsa7240e12.jpg</a> Not to mention that the LCP/P3AT is thinner than the 42, which can be a significant factor in how much a gun will print. |

Try this, but lower on your hips than she's got it. Gun dead center, muzzle so low it's printing like a little dick. Belly bands smooth the contours of the gun and make it look like you're just a little fatter, whereas holsters add bulks and make a little lump. Go bigger on the band than you think you need, because your hips are bigger than your waist. Mine is from Galco, you can try them on at the gun store. They may have a blue gun to lend you while you try. https://img0.etsystatic.com/107/0/9394392/il_340x270.883035532_id29.jpg Oh, and cut off that top strap, you don't need it. I have a belly band the Pistol Wear PT-2. I use it when I ride my bike with a Walther PPS and they also make a smaller version as well. Belly bands work well because I am normally wearing gym shorts and a semi loose/fitted shirt. I am 6'1" 145# so I am a slender guy and it disappears on me. This thread was going good, thigh holster, boobs & what not, then you come in with your slender guy gym shorts BS. ?? Do you just like to troll threads..... This is a tech forum not GD. |

OP: I carry a G42 and have a hard time concealing, can I get some tips?
ARFCOM: G42 Sucks and is too big and you shouldn't chase a laser dot like a cat and you're not operating hard enough and wear a moo-moo so you can carry a G19 because there is no reason to carry a gun if it's not a G19. Glock sucks unless it's a 19 and if not get a LCP/KelTec, quit being a baby. Did anyone offer any advice to the OP on how to conceal her CHOSEN weapon better or more easily? Nah. OP: If the faliaphotography videos don't help, unload your gun (triple check) and place it directly in your waistband at various locations and cants while standing in front of a mirror. Do you usual motions while the gun is in a particular spot and see if you print. Once you find the spot where printing is the most minimal, that's where you need to carry. For some ladies (and gents) that may be the centerline (high noon), for others it's 1:00, 3:00, 3:30, 4:00, 4:30 etc... You just have to find the sweet spot for your body. It's easier to do it with an unloaded gun and no holster so you can just slide the gun around and adjust it's cant/ride height on demand so to speak. A little poke here and there no one will ever notice. You will because you know where to look, average population won't though. I'm pretty confident you can conceal that 42 no problem, you just haven't found the right spot on your body yet. No matter where you have a gun on your body, certain motions are going to cause some minor printing, that's the nature of it. Your body is flexible and a gun is not, as you twist and turn the gun is not always going to want to follow the same path of motion. What you're hunting for is a position that is easily accessible to you, not easily accessible to a bad guy and stays concealed for your average activities and motions. Remember concealment is hidden from plain sight, not invisible. |

Insert Eagle meme America reading is for ******* We suggested different holsters, belly bands, and a multitude of different options 4 pages of good info. The OP I believe with the right holster could very easily concern her current setup. I carry a G19\XC1 combo and I am a slender guy very easily. Although I do not worry about printing at all anymore because I have realized the rest of the world does not pay attention to anything I do. I could probably ride a unicycle dressed as a clown some days and I bet most people would not notice because they are to busy on their phones. |

Have you checked out Falia? http://www.faliaphotography.com/p/more-photos-my-bug-out-bag-guns-etc.html Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Another option is The Cornered Cat: she has some stuff on CCW and fashion. And of course KeepingPiece2010: She's regularly active, answers a lot of firearm questions, and for a while was running a series on female fashion and concealed carry. |

And another thing: lose the laser. Use your sights, don't chase a dot, you're not a cat. -- Lights are great if you can make them work in context. I need lights on my house gun. Your reason for lasers doesn't make sense to me, but whatever floats your boat. -- The Keltec you can carry beats the Glock you can't. At least try ditching the accessories. Or wear a winter coat in July so you can carry "your baby". I find I make better choices when I do what works, rather than what triggers my emotions. But it's your guns, your wardrobe and your life. -- Does it really? Women don't control access to their purses well. Every woman's turned around to find a friend's two year old opening her compact, or shaking her keys. Fuck purse carry. If it's not important enough to carry on your person, then don't fucking bother because you're not serious about guns anyway. It's not a fucking lipstick, it doesn't go in your purse. So which of those comments were intended to help the OP with her problem concealing her chosen gun? My reading skills and comprehension are quite alright thank you. |

And the reasoning behind the less flattering comments is?
I'm sorry, but this is like liberals claiming that Donald's one lewd comment is more heinous than the 39 times Hillary lied under oath. If you or any other members want to continue questioning my reading ability, feel free to PM me and we can continue the debate privately so as to not derail this thread further. |

You asked me to show where I had suggested a better holster and I did. That's not questioning your reading ability, it's answering you with what you asked for. That's how you work out concealment. 1. Choose gun and light combo 2. Pick holster, realize it doesn't work with your outfit/bodytype. 3. Pick another holster. If it works, stop here. If it doesn't de-accessorize gun. 4. If stripping gun works, stop here. If it doesn't, pick another gun. 5. Slip mouse gun into bellyband, wiggle into skinny jeans and sashay out the door. |

Geez -seems like anyone could conceal a Glock Anything with an MTAC Minotaur /Jeans and a T-Shirt, in comfort yet- Although I never tried mine with a shirt tucked in, and I'm not a lady.
Sucks that good holsters are expensive to try, just to find that it might not be the one for you. Personally rather than spending hundreds on holsters trying to find the ONE, I might seriously consider getting unstuck on that fat Glock of yours and get a smaller gun. It doesnt even need to be a 'mouse'gun, just something smaller. More guns is better guns anyway, so get a smaller gun. |
