How do I conceal my P226?

I'm 5'10" and 165lb. Is my only solution to gain a bunch of weight?

Wear more than just a pair of booty shorts that say "Juicy" on the back when you go out maybe?

if I wear a sweater all the time it's fine. but then I'll sweat and smell like the neckbeard that I really am.

Open carry a rifle on a comfortable sling.

No one will notice the Sig.

>>31892037
That would be legal here, but the cops would get called needlessly.

I could just open carry my Sig too.

AIWB. Your balls will be fine. Or just wear a bigger coat.
>>
>>31892119
what happens when I take my coat off?
>>
>>31892132
Don't. Wear lighter coats that breathe. That can be worn indoors and out.

AIWB with a JM Custom "George" Holster.

http://www.jmcustomkydex.com/p/GEORGE.html

I already have a shield as my carry gun but since I also own a 226, I've given thought to trying to cc it too.
>>
>>31891910
Why do people think it's easier to CC when you're fat? Just buy a size bigger pants and shirt.
>>
>>31891910
Shove it your asshole. I'm sure your boyfriends stretch it out enough for it to fit

>>31891910
Trying to conceal a 226 creates a bunch of issues.

IWB or OWB both require good belts, which most people don't have by default. If you have a job and that job requires that you tuck your shirt in, OWB is probably not practical and IWB requires that you spend precious seconds in a dangerous situation to untuck your shirt before you can draw, actuate the safety, and aim.

A shoulder holster would work well from the standpoint of ease of retention and ease of access. However, good shoulder rigs aren't cheap, and they also require that you have a coat on constantly. Anyone who isn't a vapid retard is obviously going to be suspicious of someone who's wearing a sport coat/blazer in the heat of summer unless he can convincingly pull off the suit/corporate look.

As such, while you can try any of the above methods to see if they work for you, you're probably better off getting a gun specifically for carry rather than trying to bring a 226 everywhere.

best CC jacket?

>>31892197
that looks pretty nice!

>>31892218
the rolls will cover shit and they already have lumpy bodies. people also do their best to avoid looking directly at fat people.

Yeah...no
>>
>>31891910
Just get an M1911; they're slimmer and easier to CC.
>>
>>31892294
>you're probably better off getting a gun
sigh, I know. one can hope though.

>>31892306
t. assblasted fatty
>>
>>31892313
bro, I wanna be able to carry hollow points. ain't nobody got time for fucking 1911 bullshit.

it's a good thing you carry a 1911 cocked and locked and it shoots .45 inches of extreme stopping power, because there will be no followup shot.

I know I'm tippin' my fedora pretty hard by trying to CC a P226, but the only thing more fedoracore is a fucking 1911.
>>
>>31892298
A jacket that doesn't scream, "I have a gun!" Don't get something that's "tactical" Get a hiking jacket or something. Outdoor Research, Mountain Hardware, Arc'teryx, Patagonia.

Again, make sure its not tight fitting. You want something with some bagginess to it so it doesn't print as much. I would also suggest avoiding jackets that have draw strings on the the bottom(they're usually used to cinch the jacket around your waste, to prevent cold air from getting in) as these can create a snagging hazard for your draw from concealment.
>>
>>31892343
Woah, looks like I rustled a jimmy. Also, nice 1911 hollow point meme.

option 1: buy a gun suitable for manlets
option 2: lazily "conceal" it, but dress like you normally do
option 3: wear a jacket/coat/sweater whatever
option 4: end your problems for good

Mini Wing (http://www.blackpointtactical.com/shop/miniwing/) and oversize T-shirt works like a charm. Been walking with it all summer, never drew attention anywhere I went. Even the family has hard time telling if it is there or not.

I'm about your height and your build.
>>
>>31892404
pic related works for me. REI.
>>
>>31891910
you could not be a faggot and buy a custom tailored bullet proof suit that has an in-seam holster.
or you could glue a thumbtack to every magazine you own and carry it around on a leather wrist tie. your pick faggot.
>>
>>31891910
Get a shoulder holster and a jacket.

For summer months, get a smaller gun, like a snubbie or LCP.

Source: I carry a 92 in the winter months and carry a LCP in the summer months.

>>31891910
Winter is coming.

REI is the shit. Wish there was one close to me.

>>
>>31892546
Personally, vests are dumb. But you do you. Just don't look like a slob. Dress professional. Be a cool guy. Hope I helped somehow.

But yes, REI imo is the best place to get concealment gear from. Look like a hippy/hiker, while carrying a gun. No one will ever expect you.

>>31891910
AIWB or Kramer IWB #2 carried at 4:30-5:00 position. The cant of the Kramer rig does wonders hiding the pistol's butt.

Source: I am your size and this is how I carry my G17 and P6.
>>
>>31892956
Oh shit, I forgot we /OC/ here in Texas now. I can carry my CZ wherever I want!
>>
>>31892965
>vests are dumb
Depends on the situation...

>Dress professional. Be a cool guy
...if you're in Boston or NY, yes, vests like that do look dumb. But if you're in Southwest or up North, or Alaska, they look just fine.

Show me a way to have many pockets and still be cool enough (temperature wise) when it is 80+ outside, and still look inconspicuous, and I'll take your advice.

Keep in mind that in extremely hot places people wear vests even in the middle of the summer because of stark contrast between indoors (where AC blows your brains out) and outdoors (where it actually helps to have an extra layer of protection on you for the time you get from one air conditioned place (say, the office or the mall) to another (your car).

Wear loose shirts, im 6'2" 210lbs and cc a desert eagle and no one notices
>>
>>31891910
5'8 170 /fit/izen here. It's really hard to wear clothes that fit, especially t-shirts.
The only way I can carry is AIWB (XDS) with an un-tucked button-down.
Disclaimer: only been carrying for 6 months.
>>
>>31892306
Nah, he's right.
Everyone fucking hates you fat scum
>>
>>31893112
I'm just saying aesthetically I think they're dumb. But you can still wear a light wind cutter and have pockets. But realistically why do you need so many pockets? Front and rear pockets, and a cargo pocket or two and your fine, supplement cargo pockets with single jacket pockets if that isn't your kind of thing.
>>
>>31891910
buy a smaller gun or don't conceal. I'm 6'0" 205lbs and could hardly conceal my 229 when I had it.
>>
>>31894176
I'm a 5'9" 140lb loser and I can completely conceal a full frame P226. Learn to adapt clothes.
>>
>>31894196
>loser
dress like one too apparently. Fuck off with your dressing around the gun shit.
>>
>>31894213
So wearing nice looking clothing that actually conceals is being a loser? Alright there boss. You win the internet for today.

>>31894260
>clothes that don't fit

stay hot there champ

I ain't saying sagging like Joquan. Just don't wear tight shit.

>>31894319
1911 is thin. Double stack pistols aren't.

>>31894176
were you trying for 3 or 4 oclock carry? exactly your measurements and AIWB my VP9 with zero problems, and I live in FL

>>31894084
are you just retarded or something. I carry a fucking steel frame CZ 75 under t shirts.
