Living in Arizona its hard to carry concealed because of the heat. I wear tactical pants and shorts 99 % of the time, so its easy to drop my s&w 380 into my front pants pocket and there is no imprinting. I know, the 380 is marginal but beats crying and begging for my life if I didn't carry it. I have tried small 9mm's but most are larger and heaver. They pull my pants down and I have trouble keeping them up anyway.
Get a good belt and holster. I wear cargo shorts and a t-shirt all summer and have no issues with a compact 9 (not subcompact). Should be no different in AZ. Tactical clothing screams "gun" too by the way.
