Fastbolt, I've learned to dress around my carry weapons instead of carrying around my fashion.
Yep, I learned that many years ago, as well.
It's just that nowadays I no longer
have to dress around a medium or full-size plainclothes or off-duty weapon,
unless I feel like doing so.
One of the reasons I got back into J-frames was so I could remain armed in environments presenting lesser overt & immediate threats. The J's allowed me to remain armed with a weapon I could effectively use. I pocket-carried one or another of them while traveling to attend meetings, as well as seminars & conferences as both attendee and trainer. I could dress according to my planned activities or simple preferences without
having to take a belt gun into consideration.
I have a fair selection of subcompact, compact & full-size pistols, and a similar range of revolvers, from which to choose. I could carry a different handgun (with which I've trained & qualified) everyday, and not carry the same one twice in more than a month.
So, if I feel like relaxing at the cigar club with the guys, or strolling along one of the Coastal towns where I live, wearing only shorts and a thin T-shirt, or traveling out-of-state for personal or family enjoyment, etc, etc ... I can remain armed (at my discretion) even more easily than when carrying a J-frame.
Options.
Doesn't mean my full-size 1911's, M&P 45, SW9940 or other larger handguns will become unused.
