So shoulder holster and appendix carry are out of the question? I'm just confused as to why you'd prefer front pocket carry over the multitude of options. If you're stuck in an office environment where you're just shirt/pants all day, yeah, it makes it hard to carry concealed. That's just reality. In such a case, you might be better off getting a desk holster or magnetic strip for when you're seated and then switching to a paddle holster or whatever when you head out of the office. Giant pain in the ass? Yeah, kinda, but unless you're in a gun-friendly office, you have to play it all covert so as to avoid alarming the 'phobes. It may be more useful for you keep the G27 at your desk and the J-frame in your car if stowing a gun on your person is a problem.

Example: On long car trips, it's easier for me to use a holster that's mounted to the vehicle than to my belt where it'll just wear a hole in my kidney. I have a backup gun in my GTFO bag, but the main gun is often either on the front of the driver's seat (between my legs) or secured elsewhere in the cab. As long as you have positive weapon retention in the event of a collision and you can index the gun without being too obvious, it's a good setup.
