go to Glocktalk.com; a lot of people there seem to use them. They have a "Carry issues" forum which has a lot of good info.

I use a SmartCarry occasionally. You need pleated slacks that are a little loose fitting if you carry a G30 size pistol. Tight pants are definitely out due to unexplainable bulges.

To address the original post, I prefer a Glock 27 in an Alessi ankle holster.

De-balling? Is there such a word in the English language?

NG's will happen only IF you stick your fingers where they don't belong.

I suppose other deballing accidents could theoretically occur if out of position hardware was shifted rapidly during certain body movements such as sitting or squatting.

The latter statement...as in "Sudden Death", goes with sudden movement, that would be a concern. Kidding aside, I wonder if it has taken place in real life.....a complete desaster.....Sayonara!

It's called an orchiectomy.

I'm also in the hot Central Valley and dress business casual everyday. Try a high-end Hawaiian style shirt with dress slacks and dress shoes. Very cool, comfortable, and widely accepted. My company is pro-ccw so that doesn't matter, but I don't want my clients to have a clue.

I carry either my PM9 in a CTAC or my Kimber 4" in a Sparks VMII. Works like a charm.

If Hawaiian doesn't cut it, Try Oakley "Relax fit" or Tommy Bahama solid colored silk shirts.

A warning went out over a year ago about bangers keying on over sized Hawaiian shirts

So that's why I sometimes get eyeballed by a few thugs & hood rats.
Come to think of it, I do wear Hawaiian shirts a lot. They could be keying in. I thought it was the hair.

You could pocket carry a PM9 or PM40 no problem. I'm only 5'8, 170 and it's not a problem at all with pleated dress pants. But then again you might consider that a mouse gun, I myself retired the PM9 for more firepower and will carry it only when clothes dictate so.

1/2 the men in HB wear hawaiian shirts all the time. I think it's gonna have more to do with where you are at.

Printed shirts hide the gun easier than a plain button up shirt...

Wrong! Look at the "relax fit" shirts offered by Oakley and Tommy Bahama and several other. Sold or print does not matter, fit does.
