This. And also stop dressing like tactical hobos
Dress Around the Gun Needs to Die.
For work, I’m often in T shirts and shorts in the warmer months. In the winter, I wear long sleeve T shirts and jeans. But I’m in construction. And, with the right holster, I can carry a the Zev without issue. I dress a bit nicer for social affairs and can do the same.

I’ve observed over the years that the people who say things like “dress around the gun” or “anyone can carry a full size 45 concealed” are people who will suffer no legal or social consequences if they are “made.”
It’s easy for a gun writer, full time trainer, ffl employee, or even someone who is not in the business but is nevertheless self-employed to say such things. They’re not likely to get the cops called, fired, and blacklisted from their profession because Sally from Accounting asked you to get something from the top shelf and she saw you printing through your shirt.

My favorite carry piece is a full size .45. I carry every day. I have been doing it for years. (Legally, since 1998.) I don’t get it. What’s the problem? Yes, I try to conceal it. I have never had a problem. It is an easy thing to do.

You know the old saying.. don’t dress for the gun you have, dress for the gun you want!

Jerry, I don’t have any real problem carrying my .45 auto either, a good pancake holster works fine. My only issue with carrying a M-1911 is the weight. My Ed Brown Cobra Carry with 2 mags is noticeably heavier than my Smith and Wesson Model 10 with 2 six round belt slides.

Huck, yes I love me some 1911. I own a few, just don’t carry them that much anymore. My EDCs are full size poly framed, single stack Rugers and Kahrs. Not to argue, just to clarify.

Even if you don’t need-need a hip-length jacket or your shirttail hanging out to conceal your gun, it still helps should you ever walk out in public with an open zipper.
