    Default Semi-Concealed Carry : )

    Just wondering if anyone here carries a full-sized pistol, in an inside the waist band holster, but doesn't give a fuck if it's showing?

    Or does it feel way to much better to simply OC?

    I carry a Hi-Point C-9 [I know, shut up unless you want to contribute to the G19 fund]. Most of the time I don't care if I print or my shirt hikes up around it. I'll only look down and adjust the position once in a while.

    My opinion is if your going to do something don't half ass it. Either OC or CC so that exposure of your firearm by everyday activities is extremely rare.

    If its already exposed as in th OPs case them you might as well OC and be more comfortable.

    With a LTCF you are fine legally either way or anything in between.

    I carry a full size 1911, but usually OC in a Serpa holster. Depending on the situation or who I'm with, I can CC it as well, which I do with in IWB holster. It's usually never shows (the holster does a great job for such a big gun) but if it does I don't care. I however usually notice if my shirt or jacket gets caught up on it and it's showing, and I'm usually pretty quick to fix it. Since I'm so comfortable with OCing I don't really care if someone sees it.

    Often, I don't concealed-carry, I don't open-carry, I just carry. Jacket on => concealed. Jacket off at a restaurant => not concealed. Reaching for a high shelf in a store or jacket blowing in the wind, whatever. Life is too short to worry about it.

    I'm a slim guy that wears clothing that fits and is not baggy. I conceal carry a PT92 everyday and I print a lot but it never fully shows.

    I second that. I take off my jacket and there it is. I carry a M&P .40c in a IWB or a Bulldog nylon holster OWB but either way it is what it is.

    ^^ this, I call it a loose concealed carry. Usually put my shirt over it but it doesn't bother me if it ends up showing.

    Taurus 1911 in a super tuck clone at 3:30. Only thing I've found so far that rides low enough for my shoulder to deal with the draw. I have my LTCF. I cover it with my shirt at work with no printing issues. Otherwise I don't care if it shows - it's just comfortable.

    Other than at work (CC ok as long as no one sees the gun), I really don't care if anyone notices or not. In the summer, I often carry an M&P9C in a Don Hume IWB, but not covered. That way, I think the gun is tucked a little tighter to my side and if I'm doing yard work, or working in the garage, I don't seem to bump it in to things as much.
