Hello,
Question:
My question to the group is this: I work a hands on job and I have struggled with consistently carrying and finding comfortable ways to carry that provide full concealment. I am have spent some time recently listening through the P&S podcasts and have come to realize that I really need to change things up and make my families security and my personal security a priority. I am looking for creative ways to do this.
Background:
I have had my ccp for 6 years and have actively and inactively carried a pistol during that time to some degree or another. I do train with a pistol (not as much as I should and I will be working on that) and feel semi confident in my ability in a short range confrontation. I currently own a G23 (need to change out for G19 still), a G43, and a LCP. I started out carrying the G23 as much as possible, but found it killed my back when carried at the 3-4 oclock position. I currently run the 23 with a U-Boat in a Xfer holster. The LCP I carried at work for a while in a an ankle holster, but found it cut holes in all my socks so I had abandoned that form of carry. My current go-to outside of work is my G43 in a remora holster which is fairly comfortable.
My biggest concern currently is finding an option that will allow me to carry daily and be consistent with it. Work or pleasure. I would like it to involve my g23/19 with light, but I am not sure I can find a way to pull it off at work. For my work I am doing inspections in customers homes with them looking over my back and reaching into odd places (ie printing heavily when gun is carried at the 3-4 oclock position. In addition I drive many hundreds of miles a week for work so semi comfort while driving is important as well. I have considered off body carry, but I am not a big fan of it tbh.
I tried appendix carry once, really didn't like it... Maybe I missed something...
At the end of the day I realize that for good security sacrifices in comfort need to be made, but I am honestly not sure how I get there.
Thanks in advance.
