I carry my G19 year round with no problems, but Paul is a little on the thin and gangly side.
Probably leaves a nasty tan line.I guess the change for summer carry is I don't carry the S&W 442 in the Ken Null ANK ankle holster when wearing shorts. I forget why.
By the way ... I knew a kid who carried a full size Para-Ordnance P14.45 in some kind of inside the waistband holster (this was before tuckable holsters), yet he also tucked in his t-shirt (although he pooched it out a bit the way shirts normally do during the day). He was about as skinny as you can get and still have a full complement of functional internal organs, but you could not see that he was carrying a gun.
Whether or not it was comfortable is another story. I have no idea. The point is, if you really want to carry a full size pistol, you can conceal it effectively regardless of how you dress. You may need to be creative, but you can do it.
If I don't have cloth between my skin and the holster (like a tucked shirt), I get jabbed and chafed like crazy, and in the summer it's too hot to wear two shirts.
Sparks Summer Special IWB under an untucked shirt. That's with a 1911...
I carry what I carry the same way year round.
I wear shorts from late March (or earlier if it goes above 50F) through the end of December.
I wear two shirts year round, an under shirt and an "outer" shirt.
I weigh about 450 lbs. If I can tolerate the heat with two shirts, just about anyone can.
Carrying a gun should be comforting, not necessarily comfortable.
When I get a chance I will take some pictures of mine. It's just a basic nylon IWB holster. I carry in the small of the back with no undershirt, and I have no problems with it. I carry it this way year round with pants and a jacket or shorts and a t-shirt. It doesn't print unless I bend over, and I try to do that as gracefully as possible, haha.I'd like to see (in detail) how people CC. I just cannot do it comfortably in the summertime even with a relatively small gun (like my PF9) IWB. If I don't have cloth between my skin and the holster (like a tucked shirt), I get jabbed and chafed like crazy, and in the summer it's too hot to wear two shirts.
Take a look at this IWB. It's some what expensive; however I don't have a problem with chafing, jabbing or pinching. I have found it to be really comfortable!!
