So, I love my HK P2000SK. The VMII is great with an untucked shirt.
I carry ALL the time with it when I am dressed casual.
However, I have been sticking the gun in my briefcase when I dress up.
This is less than ideal, of course.
I do have the deep clips for the VMII that go on the pants and the belt goes over that. I tried it and just as I got in the door coming home it fell out.
To be blunt I have a muscular ass. Sorry. It had to be stated. :embarassed:
My hip/butt pushes out the holster at an angle. One of the clips came totally out as I get in/out of my car often.
Plus, I was still confused how my dress shirt was suppose to cover the top of the holster. I get pull it out a bunch so it goes over the top? But that looks rediculous- and regardless my hip/ass pushes the clips out.
SO......that method of carry is out. I switched the clips back tot he belt loops for casual wear.
The gun goes in my briefcase.
I saw what MAY be a better IWB holster as I searched all over...but it's the same system. No matter what I think IWB will not work for my dress clothes.
But wait...even in hot weather I can wear a sports coat. So, I tried to put the SK in my inside pocket and it was just too heavy/bulky and the butt didn't clear the pocket. :frown:
Crap. Back in the briefcase it went.
I am wondering about this:

It looks doable with some shirts. But still- reaction time will be way down having to untuck, lift then draw. Dunno. I think my body is built well for that though.
There's also smart carry:

But it seems people need to wear VERY loose pants for that.
Hmm...dunno...maybe it could work. Actually, I can't see how the gun in a pouch wouldn't be a HUGE odd buldge when sitting down with customers.
So, my thoughts were leaning towards getting a try pocket gun. S&W AirLite or something similar- maybe a kahr.
I COULD put the SK in the DeSantis pocket holster and while it doesn't look bad walking around, it feels heavy and when sitting it a big ass buldge that looks like a book. That's just too uncomfortable to me to wear all day.
My thoughts were to keep the SK in my briefcase which I have by my side always, but have a true pocket gun I could use until I could get to the SK - IF I still needed it.
I cannot wear an ankle holster as I have HUGE calves.
I just tried putting my SK in the sport coat jacket pocket by itself and while it goes mostly in crooked- it's just still too heavy.
Keep in mind it's Orlando and most of my clothes is very lightweight.
Should I try a good shoulder rig? Just put the gun wear it would end up and I dunno. Plus, it just seems awkward to access.
I could always have my sport coat and suit jackets pockets modified to fit the gun. Still the weight really pulls that side of the jacket down a lot.
Those of you with flat asses/hips are lucky for IWB!
Suggestions?
I could get someone to create a compartment on the back of the briefcase with Velcro so I'd have very quick access. I may do that plus get a very slim true pocket gun to always keep in my pocket.
The new Walther PPS looks pretty attractive for that purpose. That or a small wheel gun or MAYBE a kahr.
