Best Way to Carry

If you are considering Mexican carry, also consider using a belly band around your waist.

I find that a belly band is about as good as Mexican carry, but helps keep the mag button from being pressed, keeps the trigger covered, and doesn't allow the gun to fall down around my socks.
 
I really don't know how you guys can carry without a holster. I've done it only when I go from my car to my house and even then, its uncomfortable and I have to put my weapon in an odd spot on my body.
 
different strokes for folks, whatever works for the individual. I'm fortunate enough to be young and have the right body-shape to carry a SW1911 as my regular. I tried mex once or twice and i kept having to adjust it to keep it from falling into my pants... that and i'd imagine the gun gets more lint in it faster. A holster will protect it from sweat too. Since June of 2010 I've been carrying in a cheap uncle mikes IWB and it's been working for me just great, cant wait to get a crossbreed though!

Crossbreed is the way to go , I use the crossbreed for my SD40 , it conceals very nicely , you only need a "real" belt , in other words , I have my thick duty belt from service ,dont get me wrong its not cumbersome , you just need something that can hold the weight of the gun , gun itself doesnt go into waist band area, only crossbredd holster does, the gun sits nicely above in the area where you shirt has plenty of lleway , that way nobody really notices , I wore a shoulder holster for years , but it becomes hard on the shoulders, this wont bog you down at all!
 
FusionPac by Tactipac.com

Another option is the FusionPac made by Tactipac.com. I saw it mentioned on another forum, watched the video and ordered one. I've been wearing it now for almost a week. The FusionPac is very comfortable and does not need a pant belt (a savings of $50-$100 in itself) so you can wear it with your pajama's if you'd like! I have another well known hybrid holster that I haven't wore since getting the FusionPac.
 
Galco Tuck N Go IWB strong side w/ S&W 642 or strong side OWB "pancake" style w/ S&W 66-2, 2-1/2". I stress strong side because I always wear my handgun in the same place, on duty or off. When I reach for it instinctively, it's there. I can wear a polo or a tee with the Galco/642, it hides that well. I wear a cover shirt/jacket w/pancake.

I may be interested in one. Price?
 
I used to CC my Sigma with a leather OWB Don Hume holster & an untucked shirt in the summer & a coat in the winter. Works with a tee shirt for me as well. I only recently got into IWB type holsters & use one with my Glock 27. Haven't tried it with the Sigma since I don't carry it anymore.
 
Bit wierd but Smartcarry (deep cover)

Have a Smartcarry unit . I call it a unit because it is differant form a holster. It is also referred to as a "G stap" holster. I carried a 4 in Sig 250c in 45ACP with it. i sold the Sig and use a Smith MOD10 HB 4 in. You can wear shorts ,pants, sweat pants, even P.J's I carry concelled. No jacket to wear or worry about detection. I have had it 2 yrs. Works great Check it out . Best system for deep cover with big guns:D
 
I recently got an Ace Case IWB holster for my Sigma 9mm. It works really good for me & the Sigma fits like a glove in it. If you carry occasionally like I do its an inexpensive alternative. If you carry 24/7 I think something else might be in order.
 
I carry my SW9VE in a Crossbreed Mini-tuck originally designed for a Kel tec P-11. Fits like a glove, very comfortable.
