In researching how I'd like to CC, I was thinking a shoulder holster would be the only viable option with 'regular' clothes. Even still, some kind of outerwear would seem necessary as a shirt just wouldn't cut it.
But now I have read and heard that shoulder carry cross-draw is inadvisable, and it seems so to me after considering the movement is more awkward, and one must sweep everything on one side (including parts of one's own body) to aim.
So the question becomes how does one conceal on the hip with 'normal' clothes? Seems you'd either have to carry something very small width-wise (like a 9mm) or resort to some kind of long shirt. Maybe this is my chance to invest in a fleet of guayabera's?... I have a double-stack 45 I'd like to carry and I have the size for it, but not sure how that helps carrying on the hip.
