Concealed carry while wearing scrubs.

[loneviking]

Here's a rig that can work with scrubs:

One of the guys that builds these carries a 44 auto-mag in it. Takes about two weeks to get the order made but it's real heavy elastic and made to fit you!

Smartcarry is awesome for when you don't have a belt.

I love mine and use it on a regular basis. Not the best access, but with practice still very reliable.

I don't think there is better concealment if you ask me. I have tried OWB, IWB, Smartcarry, etc... I usually carry in my MTAC, but when I don't have a belt, Smartcarry does the job.

Good luck.

Try a smaller weapon system in a pocket holster of a lab jacket, or get a NAA derringer with the necklace holster.

if you have a gun kel-tec, naa sized you can just but the scrubs with pockets

I wear the Landua brand 5 pocket scrub pants(model 8555) and can comfortably carry with a clip type holster. They have a draw string and elastic waist band that snugs the SOtB holster up well. The string is actually a braded fabric type material that isn't sewn in the rear back area but a continuous strand so there's no real risk of it breaking. Trust me on this, I've been wearing these things for years and they wear well. I also wear the 7489 top which has multi pockets. Again, it hangs well and I don't tuck in the shirt. Since it has pockets on the lower front area, it looks more apt untucked so it helps to conceal well. When/if I carry, I've got a PPK/s that usually goes with me so it's not a larger bulkier pistol and easier to carry well for 12-24 hours.

The Landua's are a little more than the usual run of the mill $5-12 scrubs. But, they last well and look good. Buy a pair and see what you think.

I vote for SmartCarry. I have one that will carry a 1911 full size. I also use safety pins to match other models of pistols and often carry a Bersa 380CC under dress pants, with no printing. Under scrubs, you could carry just about anything (if you have the room, lol).

i also have to wear scrubs sometimes. i wear a galco ankle glove and it works great!

be careful. My father (a doctor) owns and runs a medium/large outpatient center that is attached to one of his group's offices (part owner along with the other doctors in the group). While I've convinced him to look the other way should he find out that an employee is lawfully carrying, I'm pretty sure the other doctors would vote to terminate the employee.

I'm also fairly certain this would be the case at well over 90% of the health care facilities down here.

Maybe things are different in Arizona (I hope so). If not though, just remember that concealed means concealed - always.

As for the Glock 27 (great gun btw) with scrubs, I recommend either an ankle holster. I would imagine that it's too hot in Arizona for any kind of undershirt/holster rig. Smart carry is another option.

For shorts and a T-shirt though - you aren't planning to carry the Glock 27 then are you? I recommend you get a small pocket pistol (Ruger LCP, Keltec P3AT, Seecamp, or similar). Carry it in your pocket with a holster. I haven't found any other possibility being practical.

You might want to consider a different tool... maybe a Ruger LCP or S&W Scandium frame revolver.

Otherwise, I'd go for a belly band.

Maybe the Beltster on bare skin or over a long tee shirt?

I know the discussion is dead and gone, but for anybody searching and reading after the fact, as I did, I'll offer my opinion.

I wear scrubs 60 hours a week, and am on my feet 58 of those. I carry my Glock 26 in a Galco Ankle Glove, and it works very well. With the calf strap, it doesn't settle down on top of my shoe.

Also, the scrub pants are light and loose, making for a faster draw than with other pants. Faster being a very relative term here, of course.

If you arent too hairy, Duct tape....

I know someone has already said it, but the SmartCarry is freakin awesome. I carry an officers model with slimline grips, a novak mag with a pretty big floorplate through attics, trees, under houses, etc and barely notice it 99% of the time. The only time it's a PITA is in a crawspace with rafters being horizontal to the direction of movement, cuz it hangs down some from the slack and catches on the rafters. That's no good, and it's not a design flaw, it's a size flaw.. I'm very skinny and the strap is a little bit too big to secure with the velcro and have a tight fit.


Also, in addition to not really noticing it in your pants, you have a hard time noticing it outside of your pants, too. I wear jeans all the time, but tried it out a lot with shorts, dress pants, etc. Shorts were fine, dress pants the overhang of the grip would really stand out by the pocket. An untucked shirt is an essential item for light clothing.






scrubs? should be just fine, especially if you have a pistol smaller than a 1911OM.


Additionally, with an ambidextrous safety it would normally be disengaged by the end of the day. I swapped out the ambi safety for a standard non extended safety and never had that problem again.


The pistol doesn't get sweaty at all, and i've had no problems in the rain either.



Buy it.

How about a small CCW fanny pack? There's usually a general purpose pocket on them so you can carry med stuff there but still have access to your pistol when needed.

Since I last posted in this thread I've switched from my P3AT to a scandium j-frame in a Cobra Gunskin ankle holster. Comfortable and easy to conceal, also very lightweight so it doesn't flop around.

SmartCarry

If you don't like it, send it back, and he'll give you all your money back.

Can't beat that deal.

redneckrepairs,

Funny you should mention a dislike of golf. I'm always surprised with how many gun people don't care for other sports. As far as I'm concerned, they're all the same at their core. Golf, football, basketball, shooting, hunting, archery are all taking a projectile and trying to put it in a small target. When it comes down to it, that's it. Unless, of course, you are into guns for strictly self defense purposes, and not the sport of it. They're all the same to me.

 

[doc540]

There are only three sports: bullfighting, mountain climbing, and motor racing. There rest are merely games.

No, I didn't say that and neither did Hemingway.
