CCW'd my Elite II for the 1st time

Since I was shooting my P7M8, I CCW'd my 92G Elite II. I had a Wilson Tactical Assault holster which I bought for competition. It's a low ride, straight drop holster. The butt of the gun kept getting into things like my backpack and clothing. It kept lifting up my untucked shirt and exposing itself when moving around, but my parka-length photo jacket kept it concealed.
I think I need a new holster. I bought the thing for competition, but since I got my CCW, my equipment needs changed overnight. Ironically, the holster, which seems unsuitable for carry, is IDPA approved, while dropping a partially loaded magazine on a closed slide is not, but that's a whole diff'rent can o' worms....
Not sure if I want an IWB or OWB for my Brigadier? I'll probably get an IWB for my future Vertec though.

A good IWB and a strong belt are key. Full-sized Berettas are pretty bulky to CCW, though.

I have not found a way to really conceal my Beretta 92 or 96. I went with a Glock 19 and 27 for concealment.
I would think that your P7M8 would do the job.

I used to conceal a standard Beretta 92. It's not that difficult. Sometimes I didn't actually have to use a holster, it would just stay in the wasteband. :D I've also found they stay in the back pocket pretty well, at least better than most others and that's a good place for quick access as long as you don't have to sit down. :rolleyes: I recommend wearing a jacket of some type though. With just a T-Shirt it'll be a little more challenging.

my father has had some not inconsiderable amount of success with the milt sparks summer special.
IIRC, they do make these for berettas.

Didn't know you got your California CCW. How was the process? Are you a secret movie star or politician(sorry)?

Skunk,
My Bring is in a Blade-Tech IWB. I really like it, pulls the butt of the pistol in and is simple.
I just washed my today in the dishwasher and it looks new after over a 2 years of hard use.

Actually I'm the head of an Asian hate group called the Kru Krux Kran. I was in fear for my life so I applied for a CCW and voila.... :D

Your Beretta doesn't deserve a lesser holster.
