greetings to all.
reacently My wife and I decided that as soon as we can afford to (i'm unemployed at the moment and funds are tight) we are BOTH going to take the Texas CHL course. thing is as i understand it to get teh license the gun holster combo carried must be proven to be "legally concealed" (ie not visable to joe public so as to avoid "panic" ). well all i know about holsters was learned through and has to do with the my time shooting Cowboy action. and therefore is USELESS
so my fellow shooters i need advice on what, how, and WITH what, in regards to concealing a full sized 1911 (my wife and i are both of a body frame size that will allow this, though a ruger P-97 may be used instead)
i KNOW for a fact that true concealment will involve an at least a change to the types of shirts adn so on i wear. and that we both need to get pants that are a little bit larger than normal to facilitate an IWB holster.
i HAVE looked around some and like the looks of the Holsters from Tucker Gunleather. (Tucker first caught my eye b/c i live near Houston, and i like to support local business, plus local gunshop is going to start carrying Tucker again)
ok time to flood the newbie with "too much info" lol . i'm all ears guys, and any and all information and advice is welcome and appreciated.
than you
