OWB that G27 and with a jacket. If by some chance your a sales rep who dresses more casual you can try the Bullet 50 pants they are pants built for Off duty and plain clothes cops but are all about concealment of handguns.
Need help on concealment

I have no idea where you work, as in what part of the country, but I would consider buying a vest, as in a second chance vest and wearing it religously. I would also consider changing jobs if you can, but that s up to you.
I am a contractor/property manager who deals with people who are not happy a lot of time, I have a vest that I wear on days I am collecting rent. I always have a polo or dress shirt on with some sort of a cover garment, either sport coat, sweater, etc and a I carry a blackhawk industries OWB that includes a spare mag, I have them in glock and 1911 patterns and really like them they are comfy, they carry the extra mag with no issue and hold the guns high and tight, yet I can get them into play almost instantly. I carry a commander under a light over shirt and no one see's it, or under a sport coat with a back up.

I am very pleased with my Ken Null SMZ. It is a slightly different variation on the shoulder holster theme.

A couple things I really like about it:
1) it is very comfortable - I can wear it all day long with no annoyance
2) the draw move is somewhat unusual - with a bit of practice it is very quick and easy - the gun comes out with a twisting move toward the target - if someone tried a grab on you without knowing how the holster works they would have a very difficult time
3) the holster does give good protection to the trigger guard
4) the design allows the pistol to move with you and your cover garment - I think this makes it more comfortable and it certainly helps keep the pistol from bulging out under the cover garment
5) inexpensive compared to other shoulder holster rigs
Downsides:
1) Ken Null says people carry full size pistols like this, but it really seems to me it is a system best suited for smaller/lighter pistols - I personally carry a SIG 232 this way
2) support comes from the rig attaching to the opposite side of your belt, so you do want to use a good belt - unlike other shoulder rigs, the holster tries to pull your pants UP
I have more info on this carry rig and some pictures in this thread:

Agree with the others - in your situation I would be thinking "quick access to serious firepower" and not thinking "deep concealment."

Um, I wouldn't want to get shot by one of these "not real" guns...

Pocket holster or shoulder holster I think would help. In reality that gun isn't going to do you any good if it isn't in your hand when the trouble starts. With a pocket holster I would leave your customer with my hand in my pocket ready to draw. Survey the area before pulling your keys so you are not surprised.
I agree with cover garment and IWB or OWB strong side. That's how I carry when I can use a cover garment. Unfortunately, I am in the situation where cover garment is odd, but button up shirts are required (business casual). I go with a kangaroo belly band because it has an elastic support on the gun side to keep it from slipping. I'd love to know if there are similar belly bands out there that may be better. Another option is the new Galco X project. It is like a should holster, but the rig is under the shirt and the holser and gun are outside the shirt under the off-side arm. The holster is removeable in a pinch if you have to take your jacket off for some reason and the rig isn't visible.
