CONCEALED CARRY & HOLSTERS

Please BOOKMARK this page and check back from time to time. I will continually be adding additional holster information (as I try them) and listing more gun/holster setups used by other individuals (both men and women) who conceal carry.

LOOKING FOR A WAY TO CARRY YOUR GUN?

Between my input and others, this page will hopefully give you some good ideas to try

If you are a lawful gun owner who can legally conceal carry and chooses to do so, you'll eventually own a variety of holsters; especially if you own multiple handguns or you're a woman trying to cover a variety of wardrobe-bases.


 There are a lot of holsters I like, but which one I choose for the day depends on the gun, the outfit, the weather, and the situation:

THE GUN - (my different carry guns): S&W M&P Shield 9mm, S&W M&P Compact 9mm, Ruger LCR (38 revolver), Ruger LCP (.380 ACP), Ruger SP101 (357 revolver)

THE OUTFIT - (tricky issues & things that matter): not wearing a belt (with pajamas or many shorts & skirts), wearing a dress, exercise clothing (yoga pants/tank top or elastic shorts/t-shirt), no cover garment (hot summer weather)..... Is my top tight or loose? Are my pants tight or loose?

THE WEATHER - Is it 90 degrees or 40 below zero? Is it raining?

THE SITUATION - doing things around the house, gardening, quick trips outside (such as taking the dogs out or walking to the mailbox), at work, at the gym, out & about/grocery shopping, hiking in the woods, biking, running, relaxing at the beach, sitting in church, etc.

HOW DO I CARRY MY HANDGUNS?
Note: I am 5'4" and 118 lbs.

MY FAVORITE SETUP:

M&P SHIELD 9mm, PJ Holster (with 30 degree cant & quick-clip), worn IWB directly behind my right hip



I USUALLY carry IWB (inside the waistband), but that's not always possible, and sometimes I just prefer another carry method:

The S&W M&P Shield (single stack 9mm) is the gun I carry the most, throughout most seasons.
The S&W M&P9C (double stack, compact 9mm) isn't as easy to conceal on my small frame, so it's now my winter carry gun (with coats & heavier cover garments).
The Ruger LCP (.380 ACP) is a summertime carry pistol for me when I just can't conceal my Shield. Since it's so tiny & slim,  it's also the gun that seems to work the best for me with more unique carry methods such as belly bands, bra carry, thunderwear-style holsters, etc.
The Ruger LCR (38 special) is very lightweight, so it works well for thigh carry or as a nice backup gun for ankle carry.
The Ruger SP101 (357) is the biggest and heaviest gun I use for concealed carry - I tend to only carry it while hiking or in the woods.

SOME HOLSTERS I HAVE, WHAT I THINK, and WHEN I USE THEM:

IWB

* PJ Holsters (with "deep conceal" 30 degree cant & "quick clip") - This is my favorite holster that I wear the most when I leave the house. I have an IWB PJ Holster for each of my carry guns and they conceal very well because of the extreme forward cant that I requested. I also love this kydex holster because it is so comfortable & simple - It doesn't add any bulk to the gun. He also has a lot of different options available and custom makes each one, depending on what you want (belt size, cant, ride height, color, and type of clip). This kydex holster does require a belt, so I always carry it using my Disse Amerihide "Any Day" belt. My PJ Holster Video & PJ Holster Colors Video

* Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe & Minituck (adjusted for the most extreme forward cant) - Although there a lot of similar holsters out there, the Supertuck is the original hybrid holster (leather & kydex)! Owner/founder Mark Craighead passed away in 2012, which is such a loss to the firearms community. He was one of the BEST guys I've met in this industry & this was the first holster that ever worked well for me. It is very sturdy and distributes the weight of heavy guns very well. It is adjustable for cant and the horsehide backing is very comfortable. I have one for each of my carry guns, but I don't tend to wear them as much anymore since they take me a bit longer to put on and have more bulk to them (because of the large leather backing). I also found that my Ruger LCR Supertuck is more comfortable than my M&P Supertucks because the barrel is shorter and doesn't poke into my leg at all (since the bottom of the kydex holster portion is open and my M&P barrels seem to poke my leg a bit throughout the day). The Minituck is a little smaller and I have it for my Ruger LCP. It's a little bulkier than some of my other LCP holsters (like my Remora or Betty holster), but it's very comfy and I love how it stays in place very securely & is very easy to reholster into. My Crossbreed Supertuck Video

* Looper "Betty" - This little plastic holster has very heavy-duty metal clip that swivels, so the cant is completely adjustable. You can clip it at any position inside your waistband and you don't even need a belt (if your gun is light enough or your pants are sturdy enough to support the gun's loaded weight). You can also clip this inside a purse pocket or the top of a boot (if your gun is small enough). Get one if you are a lady with a small firearm! I have this holster for my Ruger LCP and my M&P Shield and I love the strong clip - especially since the holster retention is light enough to ensure that the holster won't unclip with your draw. I prefer using the Betty with my tiny Ruger LCP (in an appendix position, which is rare for me), although the angle can have a tendency to swivel a bit during the day, depending on how much I move around. My Shield gets much more time in a PJ Holster because I like how kydex feels more sturdy than thermoplastic, but I do sometimes choose the Betty (or a Remora) for my Shield if I'm not wearing a belt with my jeans.

* Remora No-Clip Holsters - These IWB holsters are made of a grippy material that sticks to your skin. Since they don't have a clip, they are held in place by the pressure between your pants and your body (so tighter pants work much better than loose pants). I have a Remora for each of my carry guns (and prefer the standard, non-reinforced version, without a sweat guard), because they are just so simple and work well. They are affordable, conceal well, comfortable (as long as I pull my underwear between my skin & the holster for extended wear), and you can position them at any angle or ride height inside your waistband (and you can wear them without a belt). They aren't as secure as a holster with a clip or loop that attaches to belt, and you can't re-holster into the non-reinforced version since it squishes flat, but you can use this IWB, in a pocket, on your nightstand, in your car, or even in your purse to keep things out of our trigger guard. The Remora is my quick, running out-the-door holster for my M&P Shield, M&P9C, or Ruger LCR (especially if I'm not wearing a belt on my jeans). My Remora Holsters Video

* RCS "Vanguard" Holsters (original & VG2) - These are as minimalistic as you can get, designed with appendix-carry in mind - They're basically just trigger-guard covers, with either a piece of paracord attached (original) or with a single belt loop attached for IWB carry (VG2). These allow you to carry your gun IWB without a holster (or secure it to a bag/nightstand/glovebox/etc) while protecting your trigger from any accidental discharge. I have a prototype VG2 for my M&P Shield, but I don't find the Shield to be comfortable in an appendix position, so I only use it to secure my Shield inside a sling bag when I'm biking. I use my original Vanguard for my M&P9C a lot more (but not for on-body carry) - I use it to protect the trigger guard when my M&P is laying on my nightstand at night. My RCS Vanguard/VG2 Video & My RCS Phantom/VG2 Holsters Video

OWB 

* PJ Holsters (straight-drop, "quick clip") - These are just as great as PJ's IWB holsters, so I have one of these for my M&P Shield, M&P9C, and my Ruger SP101. I use these at the range quite a bit because the quick-clip is so easy and fast to put on and take off. My PJ Holster Video & PJ Holster Colors Video

* Crossbreed SnapSlide & SuperSlide - These are more range holsters I have (for guns I haven't taken to the range in awhile). I have the SnapSlide (all black) for my Ruger LCR (38) and I have the SuperSlide for the Walther PPS. I like the SnapSlide a lot for my Ruger LCR at the range (It looks nice & works very well). I don't like the SuperSlide as much (I don't like the look as much and it's also very bulky on me).

Crossbreed SnapSlide
* RCS Phantom Holsters - Raven Concealment kydex holsters are exceptional quality and have excellent retention (almost too much!). The solid belt loops on the Phantom holsters are kind of hard to get on my belt, but these holsters are great for the range or courses or things of that nature. These holsters attach solidly to your belt and your gun won't be going anywhere, even if you are running, jumping, or doing cartwheels. I use these at the range for my M&P Shield and my M&P9C. My RCS Phantom Holsters Video

* Looper "Sophia" - This is a fun leather holster with a straight cant, designed for a woman's shorter torso, and intended to be carried in an appendix, 2:00, or 3:00 position. I don't usually like appendix carry, so I love that this is an OWB because that's more comfy to me. I have this for the M&P Shield and have been using it around the house (since I can't conceal an OWB holster worn up front or at 3:00). My Video of Looper Holsters at SHOT Show

* High Noon "Topless" Holster - This OWB leather holster for my M&P Shield took me a little bit of time to break-in, but now I love it. I can actually conceal carry with this holster (with a cover garment) because it has a forward cant, it hugs nice and tight against my body, and it has a high ride height (so cover garments don't have to be super long to cover the entire holster). My High Noon Video

* Lobo Gun Leather OWB Holster - This is the OWB holster that's shown in the photo below with my M&P9C, but I also have one for my Ruger LCR. What can I say about these other than the fact that they are excellent quality leather holsters? They're great for open carry or range use (if you prefer leather over kydex), but I use these either around inside the house or for winter concealed carry underneath a coat (if my pants are feeling too tight for IWB carry).

Smith & Wesson M&P Compact 9mm, in Lobo Gun Leather OWB Holster
BRA 
 
After much trial & error, this setup
concealed well underneath a snug tanktop:
"Flashbang" w/ Ruger LCP: Bra size 34B
Very padded push-up bra &
modified holster strap
(new hole punched in shortest strap)
* Looper "Flashbang" & "Marilyn" - Both are thermoplastic bra holsters, but the Flashbang is designed to attach between your breasts on your center bra strap, whereas the Marilyn is designed to attach to the side of your bra (and conceal inside a bra cup). For good concealment, these holsters seem to require the proper mix of: a sturdy bra (only some seem to work), a small gun (if you are an A or B cup), and correct positioning of both the holster and the strap (which depends on the person). I have both of these for the Ruger LCP and also the M&P Shield (which is seeming to be too large for me to conceal in that carry region). I am a 34B, and I haven't had any luck getting the Ruger LCP Marilyn to work for me, no matter how I position it, so I prefer the Flashbang between the two (even though I'm still struggling with it). I've found the Flashbang to be very comfortable with fairly flat semi autos (and not flip out from underneath your bra if you snap it above your bra's center strap), but I found my Ruger LCR Flashbang to be quite uncomfortable due to the hard lump of the revolver's cylinder against my chest. Another important thing to note is that the type of bra you use makes a huge difference. Most of my unpadded cotton bras don't work with it (especially the VS front-hook racerback style), so I'm still working on getting the Flashbang to work well for me since it really seems to be trial and error with every single one of my bras & tops. My problem lies in the fact that the snap tends to push out slightly futher than my chest, so the snap is visible as a bump through most of my shirts. I have a feeling that bra-type wouldn't matter quite as much if you are a C-cup or larger, and I also think I wouldn't be struggling with it as much if I had more padded bras.

ANKLE, SHOULDER, THIGH, POCKET
 
Mika Pocket Holster
  Note: I don't carry very often using any of these methods anymore: I rarely wear long skirts and most of my pant legs aren't loose enough to easily draw from an ANKLE holster. The only SHOULDER holster I have is for the Ruger LCR (which I rarely carry now that I have the Shield), and it's also pretty hard to conceal the bulge that it makes on the side of my body. THIGH carry works well for my lightweight Ruger LCR, but I rarely wear dresses or skirts out anymore (which is the only time I wear my thigh holster). All of my pants/jeans/shorts pockets are way too small for POCKET carry (even with my tiny LCP!), so the only time I use pocket holsters are in a couple winter jackets that have large enough pockets for a gun. All of the following ankle, shoulder, thigh, and pocket holsters can be seen in my "Concealed Carry Holsters & Outfits for Women" video

* Mika Pocket Holster - I LOVE this pocket holster for my Ruger LCR. Too bad none of my pockets are big enough for pocket carry! This works well in a winter coat pocket, but very few of my coat pockets are large enough to accommodate my LCR inside a pocket holster. This holster can also be used inside a purse or bag, as long as the pouch/pocket is small enough to hold the holster in place when you draw your gun. There is a nice grippy area around this holster to help with that (so it will stay in a pocket when you draw your gun - if your pockets are large enough for it).

* Galco Ankle Lite (with additional calf strap) - This holster is SUPER comfortable (has great, fluffy padding), and I have it for my Ruger LCR. If you want to ankle carry, I definitely recommend this holster. A few pairs of my pants are loose enough at the bottom to allow for ankle carry of this gun, but most aren't, so I rarely use this holster (which is too bad because I really like it). It does work GREAT, though, with long skirts! (but I hardly wear long skirts anymore either).

* Galco VHS (Vertical Shoulder Holster) System: This is a very nice shoulder holster for my Ruger LCR, but it doesn't conceal well for me unless I have on a coat - and when I do have a coat on, pocket carry or waistband carry gives me quicker and easier access to my gun (so those are what I prefer instead).

* Clament Custom Leather Thigh Holster - First, I wouldn't recommend this holster unless you have a lightweight gun like the Ruger LCR. A heavy gun most likely won't stay up! Second, you need your own garter belt to clip this thigh holster to. I bought an inexpensive lacy one from a Victoria's Secret semi-annual sale and it works fine for me. Third (this is super important!), I think all ladies interested in thigh carry would be better off purchasing a Remora Thigh Holster instead - When I got my Clament thigh holster, Remora didn't make one yet - But now that they do, it's less expensive, you'll get it quicker, you don't need your own garter (the elastic leg strap works well), and it'll give you a good taste of what thigh carry is like. Since making my Clament thigh holster video, he has TRIPLED his prices! Not great business ethics in my opinion.
 
CC PURSES

GTM-099
* Gun Tote'n Mamas Raven Bag (GTM-099) - There is good & bad news about this bag. The good news is that I LOVE this gun purse (it's my favorite purse ever!) and they still offer it for sale. The bad news is that they don't seem to offer it any more in the same color OR fabric. I love the nylon material that mine  is made of, and olive green is my favorite color. They no longer offer olive green or nylon (only leather), which is too bad because I would've bought a 2nd one as a backup. Yes, there are a lot of cons with purse carry (not getting into them here) - but, I do sometimes carry in this purse when I'm running out the door in a hurry or my outfit really doesn't work with a gun (without a super-struggle). This CC purse has a great, removable Velcro-holster (which can also be purchased separately) & dedicated Velcro holster compartment that works with any size gun, and it also has a slash-resistant strap. My GTM Purse Video and my Video of GTM Purses at SHOT Show

OTHER

* River's West Concealed Carry Jacket - I categorize a CC jacket the same as a CC purse (can't take it off and leave it anywhere, and definitely not as good as on-body-carry). That being said, I think this jacket is great for when I'm hiking or hunting, since it's waterproof, and it's also a great way to carry a backup gun since the dedicated internal holster pouch is nice and secure. I also sometimes  wear this jacket and carry my gun in it when I'm walking my dogs. My River's West CC Jacket Video

* UnderTech Undercover Compression Shorts - I love these! I have the "short" shorts version, in black. They are extremely comfortable and convenient and I wish I could afford several pairs. I wear these around inside the house ALL THE TIME with shorts, skirts, or pajamas (with my M&P Shield); I also wear them while bike riding (with my Ruger LCP); and I occasionally wear them while mowing the lawn (with my M&P Shield). I highly recommend them and find them to be true-to-size. I normally wear size Small clothing, so I ordered a size Small, and they fit perfect.

* Aegis Armory "Sheath" Holster - This is an interesting style of holster that has a piece of paracord attached so you can hang it around your body. Although I think it has limited uses, there are a couple times that I really like to use this holster. Since I'm not a fan of open carry, I do always either 1) keep this gun concealed under my shirt, 2) wear it inside my home, OR 3) wear it in private areas of my yard (especially when it's dark out). I use this holster the MOST when I take my dogs outside (either at night or while in my backyard, worn over my coat or shirt). I also use it in the summer, while mowing my lawn or gardening (swung around on my back, under my shirt, so it doesn't dangle in front of me when I'm leaning forward). My Aegis Armory Sheath Video


HOW DO OTHERS CONCEAL CARRY?
 (I gathered this data mainly from participants on Facebook - Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this!)

Some of the women's home-made carry methods & holster alterations are pretty crafty and unique, which goes to show that if you are truly determined to conceal carry (and you're resourceful enough), even the "wrong" holster shouldn't stand in your way.
 
WOMEN:
  
4'11" and 135 lbs: Ruger SP101, Crossbreed Supertuck (combat cut), right hip area ("amazing setup but works best to wear a cami tucked behind the holster to minimize sweating")
5'0" and 157 lbs: Kimber Solo 9mm or Citadel 1911, Undertech Compression Shorts (for at home with shorts & jogging pants)
5'1" and 93 lbs: SIG P238, Crossbreed Minituck at 4 o'clock  position (cant as far forward as the Minituck will allow)
5'1" and 200 lbs: S&W Bodyguard .380 in a shoulder holster from Barsony leather ("that way I can wear it to church in a dress with a sleeveless vest over top")
5'1" and 120 lbs: Ruger LCP in a Fobus paddle holster ("which can easily be connected to a loop sewn into the inside of a purse or messenger bag")
5'1" and 125 lbs: SIG P238 in a Naturally Concealed Bra Holster (bra size: 34D) ("I love it! My only complaint is that the holster is universal so it's large - with my little .380 it has excess material. The material does a good job of diffusing the print of the gun, though, and there are magazine holders sewn into the inside too which is neat")
5'1" and 150 lbs: S&W Bodyguard, Vedder Holsters Belly Band ("It allows for 4 different positions to carry. I use 2 of them depending on my outfit. I only wear skirts, no pants. This holster works for 99% of my skirts. I wear in the front, without canter on the right or with canter on the left for a crossbody draw. It sits just slightly above the waistband on my skirts")
5'1" and 150 lbs: Sig P938 (9mm), Grandfather Oak Custom Carry Kydex Holster, IWB Appendix
5'1" and 150 lbs: Sig P238 (380), N82 Tactical Original Holster, IWB Appendix
5'2" and 118 lbs: M&P Shield, Remora Holster, IWB at 4:00 position
5'2" and 130 lbs: Ruger LCP in a Flashbang (bra size: 36C) ("plus a 3.5'' dagger in my boot, plus a Smith & Wesson tactical pen on my keychain")
5'3" and 115 lbs: Kel-Tec P3AT, Flashbang Bra Holster (bra size: 32B) ("works very well since as a vet tech, I often carry in scrubs and am rolling around with dogs.  I also wear fairly fitted shirts so what I sometimes do is wear a cami with a shelf bra under my shirt just for a little added security, especially if I'm going unpadded")
5'3" and 130 lbs: SIG P938 in either a Galco Under Wraps Belly Band (12 o'clock high ride) or a Sticky Holsters Ankle Biter Rig (riding just under the strong-side knee). In winter (or when not as worried about concealment): Springfield EMP in a UBG Regulator, OWB at 5 o'clock position, with a double mag carrier on the support side at 9 o'clock
5'3" and 139 lbs: Beretta Nano, in an IWB Sticky Holster or in a Femme Fatale Bustier Holster ("under summer clothes it works very well") ("Their thigh holster is also extremely comfortable under sundresses")
5'3" and 150 lbs: Glock 26 in an Undertech Undercover Belly Band Holster ("works best with tops or dresses that are sort of A line type (tight on top but sort of flowy & looser on the bottom). It's also perfect for working out in a loose t-shirt or tank top. It's more comfortable if you wear a tank top underneath (which I usually do anyways with most outfits)."
5'3" and 160 lbs: Ruger LC9, Remora Holster (with sweat shield), carried IWB when wearing jeans or other pants with a structured waistband
5'3" and 160 lbs: Ruger LC9, Pistol Wear Trump Card (sub-compact size), worn IWB with exercise shorts or pants and skirts with loose waistbands. ("I can use the Trump Card to carry pretty securely when jogging")
5'3" and 183 lbs: 5 different setups: 1) Ruger LCP in Looper "Marilyn" bra holster ("goes inside left bra band of Victoria Secret Sexy or Biofit bra & padding helps hide bumps") (bra size is 38DD) 2) M&P Shield in Looper "Ava" ("much like crossbreed but way more comfy!") worn IWB, strong side appendix position 3) S&W Bodyguard 380 in Looper "Betty" holster, worn IWB appendix cross-draw position 4) Ruger SR22 in Alien Gear Holster ("like a crossbreed & not as nice as the ava, but way cheaper"), worn IWB appendix strong side position 5) S&W 38 special revolver, Cobra Leather IWB holster, appendix cross-draw position
5'4" and 115 lbs: Springfield XDs, Looper "Betty" holster, worn at 11:00
5'4" and 118 lbs: M&P Shield 9mm, IWB PJ Holster (30 degree "deep concealment" cant), 4:00 position (with light cover garment or t-shirt that's not skin tight)

5'4" and 120 lbs: SIG P938, Remora no-clip IWB Holster, 4:00 position
5'4" and 120-125 lbs: S&W Shield 9mm, PJ Holster ("deep concealment" request), appendix carry  with 8+1

5'4" and 130 lbs: Ruger LCP, in a slightly modified IWB tuckable PJ Holster - generally at appendix, but sometimes in the PJ holster in a purse or modified for bra carry ("I took my dremel and kind of turned it into the invisible Velcro option. I clip it on the strap between the cups & it works well for a higher scoop t-shirt for me. I can reach in and draw pretty fast, and I'm a 34 B")
5'4" and 134 lbs: M&P Shield 9mm, in a Kangaroo Carry (Standard II) ("that I have adapted with a seam ripper and a little sewing to fit in the "flashbang" area on my chest. It has been the most comfortable & easiest to use holster I have found, but it still doesn't work with everything and you have to practice with the draw")
5'4" and 140 lbs: M&P Shield 9mm, PJ Holster kydex IWB (with over-the-top clip), 4:00-5:00 position (with Galco nylon Coyote 1.5" belt)
5'4" and 150 lbs: Glock 27, Undertech Compression Shorts ("works for almost any outfit I want to wear & they're not gun-specific, so you can carry different guns. I also just bought the Looper Ava IWB holster, and I'm loving it so far. I carry just to the right of the small of my back")
5'5" and 140 lbs: Glock 19, IWB PJ Holster (30 degree "deep concealment" cant), 4:00 position (with sleeveless vest). ("I also use a Remora Holster")

(Those methods work with jeans/shorts with a belt). 3) Springfield XD9 3" barrel - in a Galco Classic shoulder holster. 4) Springfield XD9 3" barrel - in a Galco belly band worn high, directly under the breast. (This works well in the winter with a scarf or in scrubs) (40 yrs old, medium build w/hourglass figure - wide hips and bust and very short waist)
5'5" and 180 lbs: Beretta Nano 9mm, Crossbreed Mini Tuck, just behind right hip
5'5" and 189 lbs: Ruger LCR, Simply Rugged silver dollar pancake holster, OWB ("I am curvy and wear it just about near the appendix outside the waistband. It carries close to your body. The gun fits securely inside and won't go anywhere. Just a very small print with a T-shirt")
5'5.5" and 155 lbs: Glock 19 with a pink Old Faithful IWB holster that sits behind right hip
5'6" and 113 lbs: Taurus Millennium PT 111, Crossbreed Supertuck ("but will be trimming it down to a Combat Cut b/c the upper part of the holster bends over"), worn in 4-5 o'clock position
5'6" and 115 lbs: Ruger LCP, IWB Blackhawk Holster, in front of right hip OR carried with a Passport belly band/waistband concealment system ("I like the belly band very much, though it can be hot in the summer, and it can poke me in the back on occasion. I modified the belly band to carry my weapon upside down for and easier draw"). For open carry or wintertime, Springfield XDM .40 in an OWB locking Blackhawk holster
5'6" and 125 lbs: Springfield EMP 9mm in a Remora IWB Holster ("with homemade elastic waistband w/ non-sticky Velcro sewn on  (very comfy) to go with it - works with everything except a dress") OR in a Vera Bradley hipster purse ("with a GTM holster inside a custom built plastic enclosure made out of the plastic cover used for 3 ring binders, sticky Velcro, and duct tape. I know it sounds hokey but it works really well") ("I despise belts! and I'm not chesty enough for a Flashbang") PHOTOS PROVIDED BY LIST PARTICIPANT:
 

5'6" and 150 lbs: Kahr CM9, Looper Ava IWB Holster, canted all the way forward, about 4 o'clock position. Also uses Remora Holster for quick errands ("but it doesn't hold as close to the body")
5'6" and 160 lbs: Ruger LCP (summer carry) in a customized Flashbang bra holster ("usually with a VS 34A padded bra--pretty sure it's "body" model. I had to customize some to make it work for a smaller chest size (when I first tried it the snap stuck out a bit)"). For winter carry: Springfield XDS or M&P Shield in a Remora Holster (at about 30 degree cant), IWB at 4:00 position OR sometimes in front coat pocket in the Remora ("if leaving coat on such as running errands") (Car trips I really love the Remora since I can quickly take the holster out of my pants and wedge it between the seat and center console and then pop it back in when I arrive before I get out of the car") For hiking: M&P compact in the Hybrid Holster from Looper Brand
5'6" and 190 lbs: S&W .38 Special Airweight in a Mika Pocket Holster
5'6" and 218 lbs: Taurus 709, Flashbang Bra Holster (bra size: 42C) and Remora Ankle Holster (works in professional office & wears business casual most days).
5'7" and 135 lbs: SIG P238, Looper "Betty" holster, appendix carry on strong side
5'7" and 145 lbs: M&P Shield (or Walther PK380) in a leather "Mag-Jic" Magnetic Waistband Holster, worn at about 5:00 position ("you can position the cant however you want & to whatever angle feels most comfortable. The magnet is super strong and it's easier than most clips I've tried to put on & take off.

5'7" and 190 lbs: Springfield XDS 45, Alien Gear Holster, 4:00 position
5'8" and 139 lbs: I did a lot of searching to find a purse that I liked and could adapt for concealed carry. I found one with a separate outside pocket that was big enough for my holster & gun (with quick access), and it's absolutely perfect. I'm using the holster out of a Gun Tote'n Mamas purse (the Raven Bag was just too small for what I carry), and I'm also using the wire-reinforced strap from that purse. I used Aquaseal (from a dive shop) to glue Velcro inside the front purse pocket (to attach the GTM holster to), and it's as secure as the GTM purse. The front pocket on my purse has a magnetic closure and is completely snag-free for drawing.

For bicycle carry, one man on Facebook had this helpful input to share (thank you!!): "I'm an avid bike rider (roadie) and I carry my Kahr CW9 while riding. From a review that Falia did on the Remora I decided to purchase the Remora SS IWB for my Kahr. I tried to ride with it in my waist band on my bike shorts but it just felt loose all the time. Just not enough support with spandex. I saw an ad for a Belly Band holster and gave that a try. It kind of worked but was still lacking in support. What I do now is I incorporate the two of them and it works great. I put on the belly band across my stomach and then insert the Remora with the gun between the Belly Band in back (right around the small of my back). It feels comfortable, hardly prints at all (my wife follows me) and is accessible. It's not the quickest access but I don't feel unprotected. I don't ride with a round in the chamber. I would hate to have an accident on the bike and have it discharge if I fall on it somehow. The SS (Sweat Shield) completely protects the gun. I rode a metric century ride on a hot day. I was sweating very much but my gun was completely dry. When I got home I ran the Remora and Belly Band under water to rinse and they are perfectly fine." (PHOTOS PROVIDED BY LIST PARTICIPANT)

More advice for bicycle or exercise carry: Another man on Facebook had this advice to share (thanks!): "During the summer with shorts and a t-shirt or when working out, I carry the XDs 45. The ventilated belly band from the NRA store is one I keep going back to for running/biking/etc. Fits snug, but not too tight to interfere with the work out, and has some retention to it. Has been working great. They just don't last a long time."
 
Don't like wearing belts but prefer IWB carry? Look into the Remora no-clip Holster, Looper "Betty" Holster, Mag-Jic Magnetic Waistband Holster, and Sticky Holster
