New to carrying-LCP max in office setting

[gamer_jim]

I'm not sure why office work forces you into one of those two options, but for pocket carry maybe try something like the DeSantis Superfly.

It's like the usual textured pocket holster except that it has a square flap that attaches by velcro (so you can switch it right/left). The flap (fly) goes toward the outside of your pocket and covers the outline of the pistol, making it look like a square wallet or cellphone. View attachment 396046

I have this and really like it for my summer carry when wearing cargo shorts. I put in my front right pocket. It's very concealable. I've practiced drawing dozens of times without a problem. The outside of the holster has some kind of stickyness to it so it causes the holster to stay in the pocket when you draw.

For an office environment where I couldn't carry on my waistband than I would probably go with ankle if I could wear baggy pants.

Haven't read the whole thread, is the office shirt and tie?

Can you do a Polo shirt and an own holster?

For ankle, Galco glove is pretty stable, if a little spendy.

I was being sarcastic about seeing if it was a good idea.

If the company has no rule and you are caught with a firearm you can bet they will have one in the very near future. They may still terminate you but you would a least have a legal case that it was not stated as company policy. But why would you want to risk getting fired unless your company allows you to carry a weapon?

Maybe the OP can shed some light on the size and type of company he works for?

Sarcasm noted- just a raw topic for me as while I fully understand and support R2KBA I have to tote the company line when it comes to employment matters in my full time role. I’ve seen too many good people make stupid mistakes.

If you're in a shirts-tucked office environment and don't want to show any clips along your belt check out the enigma belt.

When are you going to ditch that girly pea shooter and step up to a real gun?

Well I had thought about getting something in a .22 short, but not sure I could handle the recoil

I carry a commander size RIA in mine, no problem. 7+1 .45 acp goodness. Also I'm a fat old white guy, not a slim trim youngster. That may or may not make a difference.

Do you carry it above the waistband? Because that was my point. I never carried them "IWB" per se, because If I am relying on the pants to hold it up, I might as well carry IWB with a real holster.

What size do you recommend? 2

Yes - Size 2 fits the Max nicely.

Thanks. On order. Their website sucks. Just got home from first full day of ankle carry and just took it off. Now feels like I’m walking lopsided

Three options that have worked out well for me. I switch between these depending on circumstances.

First one looks like it would work well if not too thick. What is #3? Link is dead

 

[Flametamer]

#3 is an Ankle holster with several features that make me happy :-) Does not slip down once properly adjusted. Comfortable, even in tropical environment (well, as comfortable as anything can be...).

That looks like it solve the issues I have with my current ankle holster. Current one rides down and digs into my ankle. This would let the gun ‘hang’

Are parachute pants everyday wear at work?

I can carry my LCP and LC9 ,and on occasion glock 26 all in desantis pocket holster all day long in dress pants or jeans.
You are going to be aware of guns weight at first but you’ll get used to it. Others will not notice as most people don’t look for a pocket pistol.

Practice drawing from a pocket holster then practice some more. as it takes a bit getting used to.
Never Cary anything in same pocket with holster in it.
Your pocket is now your holster.

Pocket carry is a great option if you need to be very discrete when iwb is not an option IMO

That would take one heck of a pair of bell bottoms .

When I did , the ankle was usually J Frames , under regular pants .

You might be making humor ?

But seriously , Business Casual is the hardest . Go either one step dressier , or one step more casual .
