need to carry concealed... in Dress Blue Deltas...

[masakarijoe]

So I have an upcoming wedding that I am going to be attending, and I have agreed to wear my USMC Dress Blue "D" uniform (dress pants with tucked in short sleeve khaki shirt, very form fitting)
This uniform prevents me from carrying in my normal IWB 4 O'Clock position without very severe alteration, which I do not wish to do to my Marine Corps Uniform. So, at this point, I believe that my only option is ankle carry. My weapons for this carry are my Kimber 4" 1911 and Springfield XD .45 Compact. What holster would you recommend for me?
thanks guys

Honestly, I'd consider a belly band or a pocket gun. Our uniforms are too well tailored to accommodate anything else.

Any chance you're an NCO?



Are you kidding me? Walk in to a wedding decked out in any USMC dress uniform and this by your side?

Yeah... that's what I'm talking about.

My boy is a Staff Sergeant at MCAS Beaufort, so, Semper Fi.

Well getting another pistol is out of the question, and yes im an NCO... but im not going to wear a sword for defense! Haha
so on the topic of ankle holsters...

Here's a link to a thread about Galco vs Fobus I commented in. I haven't found an ankle holster as comfortable as the Galco glove and I've tried a few.

why do you think that they give you a sword? docoration? no! its for whacking pirates.

since youre going to be in uniform, how about something like this?

Have you considered a small shoulder holster under your jacket? Thats what I did when I wore my Army Dress Blues. My NCO sword sit is a display case these days and would be better for stabbing than cutting.

I think either of those pistols would be a little bulky for ankle carry. Maybe you can get a friend to loan you a smaller one. If you get lucky maybe even the holster since doesn't look like you will be using it much.

i sometimes when dressed carry my XD9 subcompact and it feels huge compared to my LCP....could not walk normal with a 1911...

[jachrist]

Agreed. Both pistols mentioned are going to be way too bulky and heavy to ankle carry (especially if you are dancing, running, etc).

I'd ask a friend to borrow a small pistol/j-frame and try that.

Other option Is a bellyband as mentioned above
