that's awesome, grimjaw. 
when you do go new, get an all-ett. your buttprint will cut in half.

The rear pocket KD wallet with a P3AT or P32 works very well (I forget the wallet is in my pocket), but you should be able to carry that P11 MOB. I carry my P11 with the SS belt clip anytime I can dress with my shirt untucked. 13 rounds of 9mm, vs 7 rounds of .380, or 8 of the 32.

Maybe a little, but there is also the option of pulling the tie open and
dropping the sweatshirt or using it for a distraction with the off hand.
It's not always a speed event, thank heavens. But it doesn't seem to
be much of a handicap, tho my range frowns on this sort of thing outside
of organized matches so I have no comparative timings.

Bump to the top of the forum. I love these threads.
Here are 3 of mine. I'm 5'9" and about 180lbs.
The 1911's are either under a vest , an unbuttoned Hawain shirt, or a jacket, depending on the weather.
The Kimber Compact CDP is my regular carry; usually iwb @ 4 o'clock in an older HBE IWB, or when I drove a cab, in the Galco Jackass. The Government model I carry when I feel like remembering my brother (it was his gun), in a Milt Sparks IWB, and the Taurus 605 rides in an Uncle Mikes pocket holster in my boot as a BUG.

It is a ClipDraw type device budder. This particular 1911 was built to be a truck gun. The ClipDraw device was meant to allow me to take it into stores and the like without a holster, to prevent leaving it in the car. It works well if the belt is heavy enough.

Paul,
Great job! Do you mind posting a few more pictures? I think that's the most natural looking concealment I've seen so far on this thread. That's the kind of clothing I will likely be wearing, and any help will be appreciated.

5.11's
The P-32 makes it easy, but I can also conceal a baby Glock almost as easily, though not as comfortably.
The 5.11 jeans have internal pockets sewn in. See here for more details:

Access is quicker than SmartCarry et al, but slower than IWB/OWB. They just give you another option when deep concealment is required. Plus they fit well

Can you post a pic of the internal pockets? Are they just a flap of material with a pocket sewn to the top seam? Or are they more intricately built in? For $60 jeans I am tempted to try to build my own!! I can buy almost 4 pairs of the jeans I normally get for 1 of those. WHEW!! Some of you guys must be made of money!!

Holy cow, after two years I finally figured out how to post a picture. This is my current carry gun, soon to be replaced by my Springfield when it gets back at the end of the month.

Typically, when I'm out and about, I don't carry much. Very much a minimalist. The carry rig is a Galco concealable belt holster with a P2000SK. As you can see, I just wear a simple web belt...they're cheap. Although, I am on the hunt for a good leather belt.
I try to keep it directly off my hip/thigh bone, either favoring the front or the rear. An oxford type shirt is definately easy to work with if you're not going to tuck. In the event I'm going out with the misses, I do tuck, but I wear a sportcoat/blazer. The secret with that is to just have enough to wear in a variety of situations -- I have very light blazers which are good for the summer, heavier ones for colder temps, blazers that I wear with jeans, blazers that I wear with slacks, and full suits. Hopefully you'll also be able to see that it all works equally well with polo type shirts. Rugby type shirts are also workable -- I have a pic but need to redact some things.
The only time I run into situations is when wearing sweatshirts, of all things. I say this because I purposely buy my sweatshirts larger than I need. But yet and still, if I raise my arms, I'm exposed. In one or two sweatshirts, even if I lift my arms to 90 degrees, I'm exposed. Weird. Don't have those problems with oxfords, polos, or rugbys.
I ran out of attachment room, but another method is the 'fifth' pocket in Jeans. Tommy Hilfger Carpenter and Polo Brixton jeans seem to have a large fifth pocket. At least with the P2KSK, I can conceal using that pocket and the weapon stays secure.
ETC...
Sorry for the holey shirt, was working on the car.
No, my clothes aren't two-toned. I need to fix the white-balance on the camera.

Are you never concerned with flashing when wearing the vest? I've always thought about that...

Nope. Not anymore. Everyone has jitters their first time carrying that everyone around them will know they have a < GASP> gun. They get over it eventually.
I have no fear of it. I'm conscious of it, and don't do things that I know will make it ride up, and button it on windy days. But, no, after all these years, its never happened. Even if it did, everyone's gonna think its a cell phone, or PDA the brief instant they see it.
Unless you proclaim to the world you are into, and carry guns, the only people that think "gun!" are those who carry one themselves.
