This is the first time the weather's been warm since I got my LTCF. Typically I just wear my 1911 in a good OWB leather holster and cover up with a hoody/jacket/suitcoat depending on where I'm at.
Basically I see my choices as:
...Stick with what I'm doing but "hawaiian shirt" it. No, I'm not doing the photographer vest thing--if anything it's more obvious, and the vest just screams "retiree fisherman" to me.
...Go with an IWB, possibly downgrading to a smaller piece (Dad doesn't carry his baby Glock anymore since he got a P9S). I'm not sure if I can comfortably fit a full-size 5in barrel auto down my pants, without my belt riding up to my ribcage when I sit down. I've never used an IWB rig before. Dad has, but he generally only carries subcompacts.
...Hawaiian shirts and shoulder holsters--I've been hitting the weights pretty hard getting ready for OCS, so all of a sudden I actually could hide something up there. Advantage: Much more comfortable driving and sitting down.
What do you all do when it gets warm enough that OWB isn't as convenient anymore?
