My new Carry method at work

[THaves]

I have been struggling with a way to conceal at work on warm days when I do not want to wear a jacket. My normal dress would only allow an ankle hoslter which is no good for my G22.

After some research I happened upon CCWsupply.com and purchased this brief case for $80. I have used it every day this week at work, it has been with me in meetings, it has been with me walking the street ,every where I go it goes. Naturally I have to be a lot more careful, I do have a lock for it ( if I need to leave it in my trunk) but I can not let it outof my sight otherwise (obviuosly)

I keep it by my desk at work and on Sunday it goes on its first trip to Las Vegas with me. I have spent some time practiciing my draw, which I am getting better at, you have to swing the bag with your off hand whilst reaching in with your gun hand.

All in all I am very pleased

Enjoy the pics



A normal bag that you would expect to see in any office



Slim and trim



Lots of room for paper, pens and even a calculator

That is one neat set up!
Please, please. Take it from someone who was forced to transport in somewhat like fashion.
Whatever is not on your body has the potential to get left behind. Lets say you are working a grueling sequence of days, or your body clock is not in sync, or did not get a good nights rest in a noisy motel room, so you are tired, etc. Please, be vigilant every time, before you go on the move!.

Great advise, so far so good, but that is one of my biggest worries.

Off body carry is/can be tricky. I do see your point THaves with dress code and warm weather. Summer makes it harder to conceal anything but a mousegun. I have a friend who is bound by professional business attire and he switched to front pocket carrying a 340 PD.

CCW is a lifestyle. A lot of things change once you start it.

thanks for the write up! That is a sweet set up. Good to hear its working well for you so far. Bonovox uses briefcase carry when at work as well.

Nice set up! It even has a nice holder for your Emerson (looks like a Commander). :-) Thanks for sharing.

Perfect addition. But would be soooo heavy.

If any of you guys are like me (I don't like wearing shorts) I have great luck with my ankle holster. It works especially well when you have to wear a suit or it's too hot outside for a jacket.

I like wearing shorts, so my ankle holster rides a little thigh high .... some might call it a garter

Just kidding. I do wear shorts and use my Milt Sparks VMII IWB. Am looking into those elastic waistband thingers, but not sure about accessability.

Idaho Joe, do you have any issue when seated? My legs are long and if i'm not carefull my pants would let the holster show when seated.

Nice job. Just dfon't leave it anywhere!

[THaves]

Test drove it in Las Vegas at a business convenstion over the last 4 days, it was perfect.

Not really. Although I'm over 6 feet tall, my legs are shorter than average for my height, so I don't have the problem that my son and you seem to have: Long legs = big hike-up when sitting.

Upon further reflection, however, I realize that I wear my leg lengths fairly long. Maybe try lengthening your pant legs another inch?
