Reflecting on my experiences carrying a gun daily for near a couple of decades, I figured out that I’ve learned a couple of things. Here’s a short list.

I do not worry about “printing”. It’s gonna happen. The couple of times I have been asked, I replied that it was my colostomy bag and asked them if they wanted to see.
I love the Sticky holster, carrying has never been so comfortable.

I didn’t know you could get C bags shaped like a Kimber.
I was out bicycling this morning on a local cycling trail and encountered a fellow cyclist going the other way who clearly had a holstered autoloader. He may have been a LEO but I just saw the “GUN” ...
BOY, was I upset! Took me about an added 15 seconds to make it home - WOW!
And at the least you're probably going to lose your favorite pistol for some time.
The current trend of casual “cargo pants” for everyday wear presents a unique opportunity. I wear 511 brand “tactical pants” at work with lots of pockets to hold the gadgets I need. The side pockets on these pants are huge and will easily conceal a Ruger LCR 5 shot .38SPL in a good pocket holster. Belt holsters work well if you are long and lean with wide shoulders. I have learned that for a squatty body like me a pocket full of .38 is just the ticket. In 5 years of using this carry method I have never been busted - even by people who knew I was carrying - somewhere ;-)
I’ve come to appreciate a well made belt, that’s for sure.

Carhartt trousers work in similar fashion for me. I am old and cargo pants ake me look silly in my eyes.
I’m a traveling salesman, and have to dress in a certain manner (plus, it’s really, really hot where I live and work), so it’s pocket carry for me. A Ruger LCP in a Tagua holster fits the bill nicely. If anybody has ever noticed it, noone has said anything.
A belt isn’t required with the aforementioned Sticky holster.
Are you using a Sticky for pocket carry or IWB?
Most days I use a Desantis Super Fly for pocket carry and I have been happy with it. However, I would like to find a setup I like for IWB so I can carry a larger weapon comfortably.
IWB in the small of my back.
Guns are not my thing. I bought a .40 cal Taurus semi a few years ago but I never even fired it once or took a class.
Just don’t have the desire..I should just kick myself in the butt and get with it . Anybody give me some good advice?
Well I can’t find anything in his 10 points to criticize. I must be slipping. :-)
I am looking forward to owning my first Ruger LCR. I just adore the piece.
And... I wear a coat and tie everyday. I would love any suggestions about a really solid belt holster for “between the waist and the back” carry.
I am a fan of the hammer-snap.
OMG! That is the set-up that I use. absolutely love it:)
Not an issue. Once you introduce the image of poop in a bag, no one is interested in discussing it further.
