    When I carry my Kel Tek P11 I carry the flush 10rnder and either 2 16rnders or a 30rnder. When people carry on about how much a 30rnder sticks out I tell them that if I am reloading I am past worrying about discretion.

    haha, very true. not to thread jack, but could you lawfully carry an underfolder AK on your back? I mean as long as we're talking about full-sized guns.

    Maryland long gun open carry unloaded is legal as per an opinion by AG Gansler but I don't wanna be a test case.

    I have an AZ CCW permit, and usually carry a full size Beretta PX4. With the right holster, a full size gun can be concealed pretty effectively. I like Comp-tac's IWB holsters.

    I've carried a Combat Commander and also carried a Gold Cup NM concealed.

    You carry what you've got (or what 'policy' dictates).

    Clothes are very important in concealment.



    My youngest daughter's b/f carries/conceals a G22 (issued), and you can't tell he's got it on. (And he ain't that big of a guy!)

    I keep forgetting what holster he says he uses. :shrug:

    That surprised we as well. When I first started to carry the G22 it surprised me how easy it was to conceal.

    If you want a really minimalist holster that allows you to carry several different handguns with a light mounted...check out Armordillo Concealment's X-FER:

    CCW of Normal sized handguns is a a clothing question , not a gun issue. Dress around the gun. A good quality belt is important. A properly designed Pancake or belt slide can work well also.

    The OP already has his solution at hand. The holster you already have works smoothly, conceals , and presumably is comfortably for you. Nothing needs changing.

    With KelTec P11 I prefer the S&W 12rd mag. "For me" it allows full grip w/o any leftover , and still reasonably concealable other than actual pocket carry.

    Good article that's worth repeating over at the Art of Manliness:

    http://artofmanliness.com/2012/09/26/guide-to-concealed-carry/

    Makes me want to start wearing sports coats.

    Of course there is always Florida carry in a belt PDA case or fanny pack. Belly bands work as well. Cargo shorts are good because the outer pocket will disguise the large inner pocket with a good pocket holster. For IWB I like the larger supertucks that give a layer behind the entire gun for comfort.

    I just bought a Griffin Industries kydex holster and IWB hooks online for my Glock 22. Does anyone have any experience with them? If so please let me know your thoughts.

    I carry my P226 in a retention holster. Doesn't bother me that people can tell im CC'ing, means they might think twice about giving me a reason to have to draw on them.

    For formal occasions where I don't want to print tho, I carry a subcompact 9mm in a shoulder holster or IWB depending on outfit

    I have a full size Px4 Storm and a comp-tac minotaur. I can't carry it outside the house, but I'd say it does the job pretty well.

    4" M&P .45 in a Safariland 6378 ALS, with a good cover garment - no one's ever known I was carrying, or at least led on that they knew.

    I prefer paddles because of my size, not a very big guy, but with the proper cut of shirt, it just disappears.

    I no longer have a MD permit, but I carried a full-sized 92FS for quite a while before I purchased a Glock 19 RTF2. I used the Comp-Tac Minotaur holster which was awesome.
