Personally I’d much rather no one be able to easily detect that I’m carrying, and be absolutely comfortable at the same time. I’ve tried carrying some bigger handguns both inside and outside the waistband and couldn’t come to a compromise. Ive a bunch of holsters that were fails for me. I’ve settled on either S&W model 60 4 inch 357 mag inside appendix style with a cheap uncle mikes nylon, or my hellcat in a DeSantis mini scabbard outside waistband on my belt that I carry 99% of the time. I can draw the hellcat fast and am accurate with it. Lots of practice. Loaded with Hornady personal defense it checks all the boxes.
Another thing that helps put the pieces together is a quality heavy duty leather belt. I use a saddleback leather “tow belt” highly recommend.

how about a shoulder holster and a 38 snub nose revolver? They are easier to reach for.,
I live in the south shorts, flip flops, deck shoes 9 mos a year, its humid, love my pocket holster 22 Beretta, have hip and shoulder holsters etc but sticky w/ humidity, 22, 32, 380, 357,9, 40, 45, 44

Mine gets carried to my truck then holster off, then wear it into my office, holster and gun go in my desk drawer. I eat my lunch at my desk. When I travel the gun stays home.

I’m guessing no one bothers you during your lunch break. Good plan😂
I get to work early and turn on the lights, nobody is here when I put the gun in the drawer. I would say nobody knows that there is a loaded gun in my office.

Placed an oder for another special something, reconfiguring the collection. I really do not need a shotgun for home defense. I am purging any firearms that have plastic on them other than grips and sights. Also will only own guns made in America.

Got a call from the gunshop on my order a screw up, I ordered a black version they shipped a stainless model instead, I agreed to accept it at the same price.

Nice mistake. I would have made the same decision.
And you can’t go wrong with a good ole reliable Mossberg.

Not too expensive it won’t kill me if it gets stolen and it shoots 3 inch magnums it will fit under the backseat of the F150 wrapped in a cheap blanket or a soft case and I’ve got plenty of double buck already

Picked it up this afternoon meeting my son for lunch and the range tomorrow. Will see how it feels when it goes bang.

Have mine for 35 years lifetime warranty. I turned it in about 10 years ago. They put a new spring in it something else I can’t remember. It’s the 70s series I believe with pachmayer grips and accurize kit, I still have the box of Bianchi holster plus at least one or two other holsters fantastic
