I keep my 380 in this little zipper pocket I cut into my thigh.
owch. "this is going to hurt me more than you" applies when I draw on a bg.

How about that Taxi Driver/Equilibrium style spring loaded sleeve rig? Is that purely a thing of fiction?

Please remind me to never buy one of 380sc gun's ..j.k. I tend to carry my .380 either on my ankle or IWB...on occasion, walking the dog with the wife, in the pocket of my shorts...not sure how relevant, but did have a knife that I rigged up like Crocodile Dundee on my back, when I was younger...couldn't tell I was wearing it...

7 eleven soda cup. Wasn't my idea. Read it here on THR. Put some cloth in the bottom and a Smith 642 fit perfectly.
a Glock 27 in a back pocket of 5.11 pants. Not the brightest idea I've had, but it worked for the day I did it, before I bought a holster. I don't wear 5.11 pants anymore either. I bought one pair to try them out and wasn't thrilled. Too gunny for me. I'm a gun enthusiast, but I don't need the world to know that by looking at me.
Under my arm for short distances from my apt to the car when I lived in an apt building. I only did this for early morning walks to the car (ie: 4 AM). There was a history of violent crime in the parking lot at the time. If I was headed to school where I couldn't have a gun, instead I'd bring a 9 iron golf club. I could put it in the trunk and claim I was going to play golf later.
Grocery bag - I needed to bring my gun into a gun store to get some stuff for it and didn't want to have a case that screamed "gun" as I walked in as it's a high-crime area. Grocery bag worked. Didn't attract attention.
Guitar case to store a rifle new in box (again when I lived in an apt). I didn't want people to know I was bringing guns in (not that there was a rule against it or anything). When I bought a Ruger 10/22 (since sold) and my Savage Mark II .22lr, I put the whole thing box and all in a guitar case on the way from the car to the apartment.
The same reason for pistol cases in a laptop bag. Some were hard to fit, but my Tumi bag is expandable.
For me that's it.
My dad had one that beat any of my ideas.
When the house was built and the furniture custom built for the house, he noticed that in his office, one of the filing cabinets that had been build had extra space behind the drawers. They must have cut the wood too big for the cabinet and then instead of building bigger drawers, they just installed the rails for the drawers forward so they would look right.
He stored his gun and ammo behind the bottom drawer for years. The downside is that you'd have to remove the drawer to get to it.

What was that thread about a ... how do I say this... large man... who was asking about concealed carry at a nudist resort he was planning on attending?
He was asking about duct taping a firearm under a fold of his belly....
That certainly wins the unusual concealment method award.

Well, there was this woman who managed to get a full size .45 auto into a CT court once. She had it hidden inside her body. I'll leave the guessing of which orifice she used to your imagination.

Not that unusual, but day planner holster, or fanny pack if doing odd things.
Once at a pool party I took my NAA 22 mag and had it fit just right in that little pouch inside your swimming trunks that carries change

I've done this as well.
This was done in the movie "Showtime" staring Robert Deniro and Eddy Murphy.

Unusual carry
Bible covers; I keep remembering some Louis L'Amour novel where the hero said "I'm gonna read you from the book..." before a gunfight.
Would that be the book of John? Moses? Browning?
Then theres' the guy who used to wear a Browning baby on a neck chain; called it his "Peace symbol"; I know its' been done with a P3AT...
Cheers. TF

For very short distances - walking out to my truck in the parking area, about 30-40 yards - I've simply tucked it under my arm. I've also held it inside a folded newspaper.
Ahhh. Didn't know that. I read it here on THR and assumed it was the poster's original idea. I think the thread was about somebody whose wife was starting a private investigation job and was going to be sitting in her car in a bad area for extended periods of time doing observation work or something along those lines.
Wherever it came from originally, it does work.

I remember that line, but don't recall which novel or character. It may have been Conagher, or one of the Sacketts.I've seen hollowed-out books that a gun can be placed in, but those have been more for hidden storage than carry.

i've done the car-house run with it held under my shirt.
I vacuum sealed a keltec P3AT and carried it in swimming trunk pocket on an all day water outing. I also had a little 2 inch knife hanging from my neck to open the plastic. Not very quick on the draw but at least I was able to carry.
I did it more as an experiment to see how well the gun carried that way and whether the vacuum packaging would hold up to the day's activities. Everything worked fine on that outing.

Hmmm, I'll bet if you packed a hammerless J-frame in a loose plastic bag with a little room to spare you wouldn't even need the knife, just fire with it in the bag.
