I live in an area that has T-Shirt and shorts weather 6 months of the year. Is there a good set-up for carrying a full-size pistol dressed as such? If so, what is it? Only 6 months? Open carry, or a pocket pistol. OR, wear more clothes. Much of this thread has focused on the value of a full size pistol and the concept of bigger is better. Just trying to figure out if there is a way to pull that off in my typical summer garb. I'll go ahead and ask the masses this while we are on the subject. Do any of you know a good video or article that covers the various methods of concealed carry in depth.

IWB holster. Cover shirt/polo.

Actually, what flave said. I skip the wife beater and just go with a Carhartt t-shirt untucked, or polo or Hawaiian shirt.

Mine fits fine in a owb Blackhawk serpa G17 holster. ![[Linked Image]]( https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/237917.jpeg) I took a closer look and figured out why mine doesn't fit. The tall front sight is the culprit. The Serpa sight groove isn't roomy enough. Had that problem with the Serpa and a S&W 5903 with target sights. A flat file, a round file, and a little while and the fit was right. But there’s several pressure points the tall sights enhance. Just have to keep filing and checking till it’s like you like it. But if I were to get carried away with the file, I might not be able to use the sights with the RDS aboard the pistol. Whenever I get around to ordering a dedicated holster for the Dagger, I will definitely keep the sight channel in mind. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Laughing with you, not at. Recognize the pattern....taking the wrong path. He wasn't filing the sights...the holster. Opening the sight channel, lowering the opposing contact points.

That's uncalled for in the context of what I think MS intended for this thread where we all need to be situationally aware now more than ever. And be properly prepared to respond. Apologies Barnard. There has been great advice shared in this thread by those with real world experience. For myself, I do cc for my ability to defend myself, maybe others too. I hope to never have to do so, but better to have the ability than not.

Cover shirt/polo. That's been precisely my method for decades. To the last detail. GMTA, eh?

I'd have to remove too much. I'll pass on that too, not looking for an open-front holster......grin.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Alright.
Any of you svelte and stylish mofos got some concealment ideas for someone who tucks his button up shirt in and wears suspenders every day?
For a 17 or a 34?
Back in the pre suspenders days I carried what I wanted in a belt holster. A custom 1911 to a 5 inch XD 45 to a 5.5 inch 629. Suspenders under the shirt.

That's very hurtful, especially coming from a hero figure of mine. I'm going to spend some time in quiet weeping now. But, before that, let me say that I've come to discover that it's common to overestimate the actual length of the G34 Long Slide. Most people estimate that it's about the length of a 1911 Long Slide, and it's common to be surprised to discover that it's actually only about the length of a standard length Government model. This fact is often commented on by reviewers. Okay, enough of defending my error (May God have mercy on my soul). Now off to quiet weeping.
