I fooled around with a couple of "concealed carry" holsters that clip on the belt, as do almost all of them. Trouble is, even with the pistol inside the waistband, half of the butt is sticking up in plain sight. The belt clips aren't real dependable, either and I lost the pistol a couple of times, which I've spoken of before. Fortunately, I quickly found it each time. I quickly grew tired of people asking me what I was carrying, tho' I didn't have any negative comments...which I really expected. To me, concealed should mean "concealed," as in "not visible." and it should be rock solid secure. Lost pistols floating around loose are the stuff nightmares are made of. Then, surfing the 'net one day, I ran across a picture of one made by "Pro Tech Outdoors" that looked interesting.  It's a little hard to tell here, but it's a 2 part fold-over that holds the cell phone in one side (I had to install a snap to secure it) and the pistol goes in the other side, which slips down inside the waistband. It does have a belt clip, but it's not needed and I don't use it. (these pics were taken in a dark hallway without flash, but should be OK to give the idea)  Just pushing it down to "comfortable," the butt still sticks way up thar, but it's fine for most places/times.  When I get serious, as in going into a market or similar public place, just push it on down flush with the waistband and it disappears - and it truly is concealed. Quite comfy, but on longer walks with it pushed down, it puts pressure on the hip muscles, but for most times that's not a factor. Out in the hills I could care less. Once again, I wish the designers of this site would re-work the picture attachment feature. It's still an awkward, raging PIA to fuss with. |

Nothing “skinny” here😂
Charter 44spl or Para 45acp LDA 12 fit nicely in my front pocket. Backup in the other front pocket with my wallet. 👍
They make a pouch/box to carry outside of your pants that will accommodate anything up to a 1911 I believe. I have several but have never used them. I can’t think of the name right now but I will later. A friend uses one for his 1911. They come disguised as different things, medical, emergency etc.

I carry other stuff in front pockets - car keys, etc., and find pocket carry to be uncomfortable, anyway, esp. when sitting in the car. My pants are 32" waist Lee jeans, straight cut, so neither "relaxed fit" nor skinny. This "fold-in-half" holster works perfectly...the best I've seen. I fooled around with a couple of "concealed carry" holsters that clip on the belt, as do almost all of them. Trouble is, even with the pistol inside the waistband, half of the butt is sticking up in plain sight. The belt clips aren't real dependable, either and I lost the pistol a couple of times, which I've spoken of before. Fortunately, I quickly found it each time.

Just buy a high quality holster and more importantly a quality gun belt. Belts make the holster

I don't care who makes the belt,I ain't got enough ass to hold up my pants. Started wearing suspenders years ago and now I don't look so much like a rap star.
