Does anyone carry on the small of their back? I got hella fat last year and its the only place on my belt that might fit a holster.

I’d kill myself before wearing a suit every day, especially in Sacramento summers… oh and nice belt, might be the first LV belt I’ve seen that I don’t hate.

Is that the juggernaut grip module? If so Is there a mag inserted in either pic? I thought the mag extensions stuck out when inserted; if those are sans mag can you show a pic with one inserted?

I'm a large guy, 280+
I have found that deep concealment type holsters work great for me, even when driving for long periods which I have to at times for work
JX Tactical and Fattac are the largest brands that have these type and have a wide variety of options. They tend to be a little pricey
Last year I started purchasing from Tactical Justice
I really like their products and they're a cheaper option for the same quality (from my experience)
They can sometimes have longer lead times though but that may also be because I carry with a less common light so I'm sure they have to make mine specially and don't just have them laying around

Thanks I'll check them out, broke 3 bills on the scales last month. I'm pretty tall so a big button down should make things not too obvious.

G19 hides well behind a tshirt as long as it isn't super fitted.

For me, I've found this tshirt has the right amount of space around the waist, looks as "nice" as a t shirt could look, and price when on sale.

This is for a 5'7 165lb person. I have found that some of the shirts I've bought feel different than others, but thats probably due to it being an outlet item.

I've been using them even when I was 315
They work well with any shirt since the grip is closer to the belt line, plus you could tuck it under the tactical tummy haha
I carry appendix and they work well for me but obviously mileage may vary

I forgot about the Uniqlo oversized shirts. They are quite comfortable, the bottom comes down significantly lower than standard T-shirts, and conceal a G-19 carried Inside Waistband (IWB) strong-side: https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/products/E465185-000/00?colorDisplayCode=69&sizeDisplayCode=003

I use a Marsupial Gear fanny pack while biking and a horsehide Crossbreed holster with a Glock 43.

 

[Eatdirt]

I just assume any dude who is mildly in shape rocking fanny pack is packing lol (the predictive ability of this algorithm increases exponentially with beard length). They are almost “in fashion” with certain hipster


I've thought the same thing , Seeing ' Manly Men ' with a fanny pack is almost a given for concealed carry ..
Just Friday at Costco I spotted 2 regular guys one with fanny pack . One with small chest pack.
For those who know what to look for ....

Same way I do the rest of the year, aiwb with a button up shirt or regular tee shirt . I don't usually tuck in my shirts though . I'm a beefy guy, 6ft 250lbs. Guns, either a micro 9, compact or full size.

 

[HarleyLowRiderST]

I have several of these tees in black and Navy. They a just a bit wider at the bottom and work well for me at 5’8” 195. I wear a large in these.

Appendix carry with shorts and dark color or graphic t-shirt.

 

[ptmn2]

If wearing an untucked T-shirt, an M&P Shield 9 in an AIWB Foxtrot Concealment kydex holster with sweat guard and metal clip

If wearing a suit and I have to tuck a dress shirt in, then AIWB a Ruger LCP Max in a Vedder Light Tuck kydex holster

Nice, same gun I just got with the Ramjet too. Which holster is that? Assuming you prefer this over most/all others? Good concealment!

Wait do you aiwb carry under the tucked in shirt? Or you mean over the shirt with the jacket concealing it?

My go-to for summer is to deep carry with a Phlster Enigma. I mostly wear sun hoodies during the summer. They’re not fitted and hide a gun just fine, but as soon as a breeze kicks up and presses them into by stomach, the gun prints if I wear it with the grip above the waistband. Having the entire gun below the belt line prevents printing in thin, sporty fabrics.

I also really like the Columbia Omni-Shade shirts for summer. They’re have patterns that break up any printing well, plus they have vents to help keep me cool. It’s pretty much these or a sun hoodies for me.

Oh, and I pocket carry a J-Frame too.

I still rock the same EDC belt (Hunter Constantine) year round, but I find myself carrying my Hellcat Pro with Safariland IncogX holster (no extra mag) more since my outfits are less layered. If I'm rocking a hoodie, I will go with my G19.3 + spare mag, but summer time - Hellcat Pro it is.
