Creative Carry System

[doc540]

I know it's NOT for everyone, but I've carried inside the pants with a SmartCarry for over 10 years.

Cool weather's not here yet, so I can't use a full shoulder rig.

But I would like to utilize the "shoulder holster" concept.

This week I've been using my old, worn SmartCarry system as a quasi-shoulder system but just strapping it across my chest with the Kahr CM9 under my arm.

No, it's not perfect. No, it's not the full, "ActiveProGear" rig. No, it doesn't feel tight and restrictive.

Yes, it's comfortable and it works.

Unless one has to button their top button or wear a tie, it might be an alternative carry system.

And, Woolrich, makes long-sleeve shirts with two fake buttons on the front with magnets in them. That shirt really works. I bought two of them.

I like the cell phone case mag holder.... Excellent idea!

Interesting concept thanks for sharing. Where do you get your woolrich shirts?

Wherever I can get a deal on them. (Amazon, Midway, Brownells, 5.11, etc)

The short sleeve shirts are called "Elite CCW", but beware. There are two different materials available.


I get the ones with the most poly in them. Cold wash, hang and let dry = no ironing and no shrinkage.

The long sleeves are called "Elite Oxford CCW".


Two center and very bottom buttons are fakes with magnets. Side vents are velcro (but I never use them).

They're 100% cotton, but I don't put them in the dryer. Hang dry, iron touch up.

I have a half dozen short sleeves and wear them daily.

Cooler weather coming, and I hope to use the long sleeve shirts with a shoulder holster.

Hope this helps.

Retired cop friend of mine used to wear a belly band up on his chest with the gun under his left arm. Believe it or not, his daily carry was a 6" Model 29.
Under a large shirt, you never knew it was there.

added a simple shoulder strap

seems to be working fine

cooler weather

You may look into a dedicated shoulder rig.

I have an upside down rig for a Colt D-Frame revolver that I like to carry. Very comfy, conceals fine under a button down shirt, perfect for winter, when I'll be wearing a jacket/coat every where.

Benefits of a dedicated shoulder rig will be better balance and likely better weapon security over all.

Thanks, I have a dedicated Horseshoe Leather shoulder rig for my Colt CCO.

Shoulder Holsters: Concealed Carry for Guns, Handguns, Magazines, Firearms and Pistols

works well, but I'm adding a short, elastic strap in the back to pull the upper strap down and off the back of my neck.

I carry a couple of different revolvers in a Black Hills Bikni rig under a button up shirt---But
In the waist works just as good--any sized gun except rollers--and there is nothing to take off.
