How easy is it to reasonably conceal one of these aesthetic motherfuckers? I've been thinking about picking one up as a first handgun but I feel as though I should choose a handgun that I can conceal from time to time if I need to.

Getting a CCW in my state is all but impossible, so it'd only really go with me when I withdrawal large sums of money from ATM's or have to go to some of our more culturally rich areas.

My father has been carrying a Browning Hi Power for around 43 years now with no problem
>>
>>34642994
The thing isnt feasibility as much as it is willingness to carry a comparatively heavy gun. Given your circumstances I'd say that its perfectly reasonable just remember that practice/training is essential to developing proficiency with any firearm.
>>
>>34642994
Depends on your body and how you dress, but not that hard.

I carry a 1911 a lot, and it has similar pros and cons to the hi point for carry. Both are thin which is comfy, but they are also heavy. The size doesn't bother me much, I'm 6' and have no issue with a t-shirt for concealment. With a decent belt and holster a Hi-Point can be pretty comfy to carry. Not my first choice, but works.
>>
>>34642994
They are very thin guns, very concealable.
>>
>>34642994
Is that your only firearm or are you wanting to carry it because it's unique

because I certainly wouldn't recommend carrying a gun just because you think it looks nice and is unique. you're carrying to defend your life, not make a fashion statement. you should get something lighter, smaller and with better sights (read: more functional)
>>
>>34643673
Hoping you mean hi power.
>>
>>34643829
You're a faggot.
>>
>>34643829
If it can shoot at least five times and has power at least around or above the realms of a .380ACP or .38 Special, you have made an acceptable choice for carry.

Everything else comes down to personal choice.

No problem at all if you are not a manlet.

When the weather is right (in WA, so fairly often when it isn't summer) I CC a Hi Power OWB under a jacket or flannel with no issues. The slide is fairly thin, it should carry well enough IWB with a good belt and holster
>>
>>34642994
Easier than a fullsize 1911. it's completely doable but not the best idea unless you're wearing loose-ish clothing. If you're one of those faggots who walks around everywhere in an under armor shirt or a tucked in polo you'll likely have issues. Most people get annoyed by the weight of it, personally i like the feel of a heavier gun in my pants. it's strangely comforting and you always know just where it is.

Then again i am the kinda guy who'll mexi-carry an SP01 in his PJs around the house all day so YMMV.

>Be of German descent
why does every fucking american do this?
>>
>>34646718
A lot of fucking Germans moved to America once upon a time.

So there's a lot of German descent in many parts of the country.
>>
>>34646718
Because german was like the second most common language spoken in most of america for a long ass time. Many if not most americans in the midwest for example have german history of some sort.
>>
>>34646884
>>34646911
yeah but youre not fucking in germany now are you?

who the fuck cares?
>>
>>34646718
Because 'American" is not an ethnicity.
Dude isn't tall because he's American. He's tall because he's descended from big Germans.
I'm not sure because I'm American, I'm short because I'm descended from French-Canadians. When an American asks another American "What are you", do you think we just say, "oh, I'm American, same as you Jamal"?
>>
>>34647486
But you aren't in America, so who the fuck cares what you have to say/ think. What do you CC everyday?

Pretty hard when you don't have an ethnostate to grow from and your entire country is less than 300 years old. Our culture is capitalism.

This is why I want to leave Yurop for America.

No, I'm the one that said our culture is capitalism, my point is it is not all sunshine and roses here and we purposely breed good little low IQ consumers. Still the best country in the world, you just have to shun all of the shiny convenience and do shit yourself if you don't want to be used up and spit out like the hambeast in that pic.
>>

>how the hell are you proud of not having an ethnicity or culture?
We have them all you buttslave. All of them. Besides Americana, Culture is up to individual families, their communities and the cultures individuals choose to be a part of.
>>
>>34649074
There's also the whole thing where each state is more or less like it's own little country, for the most part.
Many are similar, some are kind of lumped together in a way that feels like one country, but they all vary, particularly as they get farther away.

California is nothing like Louisiana, and neither are like Vermont.

Do they not teach genetics outside of the US?

If he said he was German, it is because he comes from a German family that emigrated to the US.

He is not going to stop being genetically German because he was born in America, would a German born in China be Chinese?

this, anything is possible to carry but its a matter of do you want to put up with it when it will be easier to carry a generic glock or M&P. All good cc'ing comes from proper belt, clothes and placement. Dress around the gun, dont wear tighter or shorter clothes, experiment wiith positions on you belt or look at shoulder holsters. Have a good, thick belt if yore carrying a duty sized metal framed pistol as well

I have them on my G43. I carry it in the waistband, and I just have a cheap pocket holster over it covering the trigger.

I never once had the pocket holster slide off, never once had the holster come out with the gun during drawing practice, and it's so fucking comfy to carry, I sometimes forget I'm even carrying it.

I'm also surprised that it doesn't shift much. I can have the grip covered by my waistband if I need deep concealment, or I can have the grip sticking out, like in most IWB holsters. Both have minimal printing, even with my +2 and +3 mags.

The only thing is, you gotta clean the exterior much more regularly. Sweat and moisture gets into the gun much more easily, especially on the screws holding the clip on. I'm looking for a way to protect the screws from rusting now.
>>
>>34645550
its not illegal, the right to carry is clearly stated and protected in the constitution of our country, the state 'laws' restricting this right are illegal, unconstitutional, and null and carry no weight whatsoever so you might as well just shit on them

Velcoro carries a Hi Power in True Detective Season 2, Bezzerides has a Sig P226 and Woodrugh has what looks like a S&W Model 4006.

It's pretty interesting to think that these guns are deeper archetypal representations of their characters. I dunno what to make of the connection but it's not an accident.

The Hi-Power really does make an excellent first handgun, it's very easy to shoot
