Unless you wear some kind of uniform that's air brushed on you always have a choice....you might not want to admit it...or might want to wear tighter clothes for whatever reason...but you can all but always wear looser fitting clothes if you so desire..

It all boils down to what decisions the gun owner makes....what we perceive the threat as... we make our choices and then have to live with our decisions....good thing in 99.9% of all CCP holders will never need to find out if our decision/choices is a good one or a bad one....

At this point you really can't beat an lcp380 or keltec p3at for summer carry. I carry my p3at every day with basketball shorts and a tank top in the summer. Use an in the waistband holster and you can't even tell it's there. IMO the best CCW out there. Plus throw some good 95g hollowpoints in there and you'll do enough damage. Better than having a 25... Or having nothing

I believe at times having a rock is better than a 25!

I know mine is a good decision. Because its a small auto in a wallet style holster or my hands. It's not my everyday carry, its my can't take the big gun with me carry gun. And no you can't always wear loose fitting clothes. I can conceal my glock in almost everything I wear, almost. At time (and this is mostly when I carry the BG380) I have to put my body in kinda arkward positions, bent over, twisted around, upside down, ect.can't and I risk printing or my shirt coming up exposing my weapon. I've tried the Smart carry holsters, don't like them and wont wear them. I have to be focused at the task on hand 110% so I cant worry about "oh I cant bend that way" or "Whoops, better tuck my shirt back in" its just plain not possible. That is why I have a well rounded selection, different guns for different things. One does not fit all my needs. Would I love to have a .40 or .45 as easy to concel deep cover as the little .380 pocket guns. Danmm straight I would, untill it happens the .380 is the best choice for me.

Like I said, I wear my 380 in the summer. In fall And winter it's all about the taurus pt740 40 cal. It's 1" thick and 6" long. Still tiny and a 40. Pics!!!


The keltec 380

Recently polished the slide


And the Taurus. Now that's a small .40

This is pretty much my summer wardrobe. Same fit and alot of times I lose the shirt while outside if appropriate.



I would like to know where I should be carrying my full size weapon that is still 100% concealed. I'm serious, point me to a holster and I'll buy it and try it.

I never said anyone was right or wrong when it came to the weapon they carry. I simply said I think the LCP or the kel-tec of the same variety feels like a toy in my hands. It's a personal preference that I do not like them. Different strokes for different folks

The LCP's feel odd in my hand, my Bodyguard is better, Its still tiny though and a tad odd.
