Overall carry

[tnhillbilly]

Okay, here is an odd question I have, and I hope I'm putting it in the right section. I wear overalls a goodly percentage of the time and have a carry permit. I know some guys carry while wearing overalls, but I am curious as to how they do it.

Do they carry it in their pocket?

Wear a belt and holster underneath (or over) their overalls?

Make a special pocket that is inside their overalls?

I alternate between carrying a PA-63, which I fit into a small pouch I made and button into the bib of my overalls; a full size 1911, and a pre-war Smith and Wesson M & P with a 5" bbl., neither of which I can carry currently (but would like to) with my overalls.

I don't really care for the pouch rig I have because it is slow to access; not a big fan of pocket carry; not sure how I would like Thunderwear or similar with a full size 1911 or 5" bbl. revolver...any other ideas or products I may be missing here.

shoulder holster with a jacket or buy a small S&W J frame and pocket carry with an appropriate pocket holster ( I use one from Galco and Love my 642!). Give pocket-carry a try with a real holster and I think you might like it!

Great question

I don't wear overalls, but my buddy wears them all the time. He also carries concealed with a snub .38 revolver. I'll ask him tomorrow and get back to you. I think he uses his front pocket and it also fits the chest pocket (tool pocket)

An old friend of mine in SW NMex told of a guy back in the real old days that he knew who had pockets sewed into the back of the bib on his overalls and he carried a full size 1911 in it.
My dad wears bibs and he buys his with cargo pockets and carries bigger guns in them or small 380 in the bib pocket or regular front thigh pocket.
