As the title says.. I need some help with my options for CCW. I had titanium hardware put in my back last December so I'm pretty limited considering I still can't wear belts yet. I am 5'10" 155 lbs, so I am pretty thin, so concealing is going to be a challenge. I don't tuck in my shirts, and wear my tshirts fittied. I'm am palnning to have to wear button ups.
1. The pistol options I have RIA Compact Tac, DW V-Bob, and a M&P 40c. I really don't care to carry my expensive Vbob and have if confiscated if something happens. The Vbob is my range and nightstand gun. That's why I bought the RIA. My friend has a Galco Miami classic I am going to try, however I think due to my size the Classic Lite is more lowprofile. I don't know if a belly band will work.
pros-
no new ammo/firearm needed
easier to conceal in cold months
cons-
heavy/may not conceal well
most like cannot conceal in warm months
may not conceal under my button up/may not be able to take off jacket
2. I was looking at a Sig P938 or a Kahr PM9. This gives me the option to pocket conceal, High Noon IWB clip holster, or a belly band.
pros-
Many cheap conceal options iwb clip holster, belly band, coat pocket
Reason to get a new pistola!
cons-
Will have to invest in 9mm ammo (which was a goal eventually!)
Haveto shell out $$ for new pistola
I don't chamber rounds so I am not worried about a discharge.
I feel safer with the Israeli method, by racking the slide when I plan on shooting. I appreciate any suggestions!
