Ok so I took my CCW class a while ago and am in the long process of being probed and basically put on hold before my license ships (or is rejected.. :mad: ). Anway,
I currently shoot a Glock 22 as my main handgun and I love it (though I have my eye on a few 1911's as well). The problem is I would really like to carry it as my concealed weapon even though it's full sized.

I have tried and tried to get used to firing compacts and they just never "feel" right to me. I like the feel and handling of full size pistols. My question is how do you guys carry full sized concealed? I do have a friend that carries his in a fanny pack but I cant bring my dignity low enough to even consider that option.... :)

I want to go out and not be noticed and I just feel a fanny pack or a "shoot me first" vest is just is too tell-tale and not quite fashionable defeating the purpose of me not wanting to stand out as having a gun but yet feel comfortable and have my gun close at hand.

I've seen thunderwear but I think that might be a little awkward to pull out in a time of crisis and I'd be more likely to hurt my self than an attacker.. :)

Anyway, throw out some ideas, thoughts on your carrying style and ..etc..etc... I just need some more food for thought.

I carry under an untucked t-shirt or mostly an untucked button down.
I've been carrying in a Com-Tac CTAC but I have a Threat Solutions UCR on the way.

For occasions I need to go tucked,I use the Smart carry.(basically refined thunderwear)
FWIW,I carry a G19 but i have carried a full size Glock with no problems.
There are limits to each weapon size and method of carry.

Check the thread called "What's your daily carry" for pics of the CTAC.
