I work outside, all day every day.
Right now, I'm carrying a small handgun in my right (strong side) front pocket.
I'd rather not say exactly what type or caliber of gun it is, because I don't want to prejudice anyone's response. Let's just say it's small enough to qualify as "something to carry when you're not really armed." Have a gun, right?
Well, what if I do what to go "really" armed? By that I mean carry a serious handgun in a serious caliber - all day, in the 100 degree heat? It's gotta be concealed though - I wear a synthetic high-vis T-shirt that could be tucked over something IWB. I also wear a long-sleeve sun shirt most of the time, but not always. Open carry is not legal in my state, and I don't think I would consider open carry even if it becomes legal.
Suggestions, anyone? I have some favorite handguns of various types and calibers, but I'm flexible in that regard even though I do have my preferences (***coughcoughSP101coughcough***)... Seems to me the holster and tactics of carry are more important than which particular handgun.
I'm interested in what some of you other guys do when working outside in serious heat. It'll be serious cold, too about 6 months from now. I know more about handguns than I do about holsters and concealed carry so I'll really appreciate some input on that - keeping in mind we're talking serious outdoor heat and lots of moving around and stuff.
TIA
