Professional Biography
Alex Sansone, known as The Suited Shootist, is a Rangemaster-certified firearms instructor, writer, and concealed-carry educator specializing in the integration of defensive firearms with business, formal, professional, and everyday clothing.
Sansone treats concealment as a complete system involving the firearm, holster, mounting method, body geometry, wardrobe, environment, activity, and required level of discretion. His work is particularly relevant to people who cannot—or do not want to—structure their appearance around stereotypical “gun clothing.”
His interest in discreet carry is grounded in direct consequences. Sansone has publicly discussed being discovered carrying at work and subsequently losing his job. That experience helped establish concealment failure as a genuine professional risk rather than merely an aesthetic problem.
His writing and instruction examine how fabric, drape, garment structure, tailoring, patterns, movement, body shape, and firearm size affect concealment. He has also addressed pocket carry and other methods used when conventional belt carry is impractical, acknowledging the tradeoffs between discretion, access, and shooting capability.
As a Rangemaster-certified instructor, Sansone connects wardrobe and equipment decisions with safe handling, accountable handgun skill, decision-making, and preparation for civilian defensive encounters.
