I've regularly carried two pistols for awhile now. My latest rig is a Ruger P345 or Glock 20 in a should holster and a Rossi 462 .357 snub nose or Bersa Ultra Carry 9mm or Glock 23 in my pants pocket.
This is easiest when I'm wearing a suit jacket or a sports jacket which I do often. Mostly a sports jacket as even though I'm a lawyer I rarely wear a suit when I'm not appearing for court or mediation regarding a personal injury case. Yeah I play casual at family law mediations because they can take forever. But I get tired of wearing jackets sometimes.
Well what started my interest in chest bags. Well a couple of months ago the fiancee dragged me out to a hole-in-the-wall club that doesn't charge a cover to get in. I hung out up front because the place was a fire hazard tragedy waiting to happen. I'm sitting there minding my own business and counting the minutes till 2:00 a.m. and this guy just sides up right next to me. And he's wearing a chest bag. Of course the guy is a skin head and has numerous piercings and just looks like a whacko. So I'm in condition yellow to the hilt because he slowly slides up the chest bag and starts unzipping it. I'm going cold and gripping the beer in my hand likes it's Thor's hammer. I'm expecting a gun to come out because it's just the right size and I'm thinking I'm going to have to smash the bottle into his temple and take him to the ground.
Nope, a condom falls to the floor and the guy pulls out a little note pad and starts writing. He of course starts talking to me about nonsense and wasted youth and blah blah blah. But it got me thinking. Men with chest bags are becoming a norm. I'm seeing it more and more.
And then I go back to belly bags and people thinking that if you wore one it meant you had a gun. And then I thought, wow that would be really convenient and more comfortable. I want to get one of those tablets with microsoft word on it, so I can work on the run and while I'm on the treadmill at the gym. And if I got the right size chest bag I could carry a tablet and a service size pistol like a GI frame 1911, or my Glock 20, or my Ruger P345.
Yeah it seems kind of not-masculine to have one of these chest bags, but it'd be comfortable, convenient, and non-threatening ot the public. I get strange looks for regularly wearing a sports jacket with jeans and steel-toed boots (yes I meet with a lot of clients dressed like that, and yes they still hire me after they talk to me).
I'm really thinking of getting one of these less than $20 chest bags and wearing it out to see what reactions I get. On the side I've gone back to powerlifting and have also started doing German Volume training very intensely and in a short time my Lats and chest have grown in size making shoulder holsters more uncomfortable and awkward. I've done IWB but I still have a paunch and it's not comfortable for me. So I thinking of trying this, so I don't have to keep buying larger and larger sports jackets and blazers, and suit jackets.
I've attached some ideas I'm considering.
