Maybe it's just me.

..I don't carry all day...I've been listening to CC, firearm podcasts and some of them say they carry at home, while the doors are locked----???? ...if someone wants to break into my home, they are going to have to go through a lot of trouble.....plus, I've got a dog that alerts us to everything
...if someone can break into your home ''quickly'',--before you can grab a pistol-- you need more security, better locks, windows, etc--

I too am 6' and 2xx or something. I have carried just about everything size wise in plain clothes. I don't wear t-shirts for the very reason that I would rather wear something on my hip than in my pocket. I have seen the belly bands but, would rather not have a sweat band around my chest or belly. I wear a short sleeve shirt untucked( no, not an untuckit shirt either) with an urban carry holster. I don't feel like spending $90 on a shirt that a Gen Z+1 would wear with a handle bar mustache. I go to Goodwill or Arc and find a plethora of barely used shirt for no more than $6. Now that I am considered seasoned citizen, I get a discount as well.

Just like the American Express Card commercials, I don't leave home without a hog leg of some sort although I am not necessarily the anything is better than nothing. I make sure that I have enough of something with a little extra on the side.

By the way, has anyone ever been asked, "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

At 6'2" 225 I can and have carried anything I wanted all day with no discomfort. I simply don't like dressing around a large gun. For me it's a P365, 36, or NAA mini mag in front pocket.

GerSan, I laughed when I read your low bid car seat comment. I had totally forgotten that part. And the guy in the earlier shift who weighted 300 plus crushing the springs before turning it over. Who ruined every seat in patrol division.

I've noticed a lot of the big gun fans never carried for a living.

Not to mention the 2x4 propped against the seat back to keep it up enough to drive!
(Yep, folks, THAT is what police work is really all about - it's not surviving gun fights, it's surviving the crappy equipment that's slapped back together to keep it moving.)

Oh, you are so right about "big gun syndrome." When I hit 25 years or so, I decided to carry the smallest, lightest sidearm that the rules would allow. I got away with the S&W Shield 9 because it had the minimum barrel length and 1 or 2 rounds more than the lower limit. Lots of funny comments from others about carrying a "girls' gun" but I didn't care. My hip was no longer screaming at me after 8 to 12 hours.
I also used my 3913 for several years before discovering the shield. It, too, was like a vacation from pain!

Glad you mentioned those. I have 3 or 4 - I wear one around my hips when working outside to keep my sacroiliac "squished" together. Works like magic!
The joys of finding odd uses for things!
