Concealed Carry Vest
Smith & Alexander (cover vest for belt / shoulder rig)
http://www.smithandalexander.com/apparel.html or Concealed Carry Clothiers (vest w/ built-in holsters) http://www.concealedcarry.com/product.php?id=9&image=18 ... Any experience with these vests? Granted, I think they look a little silly and make it pretty obvious you're packing to those who know anything about handguns... but I might need one in the future and I'd like an comments / opinions / experiences with 'em. |

IMO, shoulder rigs and vest rigs for CC are really only useful for colder weather when you can actually wear heavier clothing comfortably...like jackets. I vote neither

BUT LET'S SAY FOR THE SAKE OF DISCUSSION... ...that I was going to buy one. I like me some shoulder rigs. They're useful if you're sitting a lot. They keep junk off my belt. They're good for motorcycles. I have a really minimalist one. I think I might go with the CCC just because it has internal pockets. I don't need a man-shawl / coverup. Crompsin like pockets. |

for the sake of argument, i'd go with inside pockets....not necessarily the vest though.

I had to click the link *just* to see that.... ahahahahahaha Also, speaking in terms of fashion vests are ICK. especially that awful color/style/material combination. It would be SO obvious... I'd just wear a short sleeve button up shirt unbuttoned over a tee or something... ugh. Or get a Kel-tec / Kahr and pocket carry ^_^

If you're going to get a vest, you might as well just take a page from Clint Eastwood and just wear a poncho like he does in Fist Full of Dollars, Fore Few Dollars More, and The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Either way you'll be making a fashion statement.
The only people I see wearing vests are professional photographers. Which if you try to go for that look, it give yous tons of pockets and gear bags to stow stuff in. |

Vests scream concealed carry these days. besides, you will look like Walter Sobchak from the big lebowski.
