    Appendix carry in dress clothes

    I have to wear dress slacks and button downs every day and have been able to easily conceal since it has been cold out lately.

    With it warming up, I've been thinking I'm going to need a way to carry a little more unnoticeable.

    I currently carry a 19 with appendix holster. My concern is that the clips will be a dead giveaway to what I have on me.

    Is there a solution anyone recommends? I don't want to keep it in a bag at all.

    I have been playing with some leather straps in place of the clips, but they still look out of place

    Any ideas?

    The 'utili clip' seems like a pretty good option. I know a lot of holster makers are offering this now. I believe you can buy them straight from the maker as well.

    Here's something to consider. I have one of these and have found it to work well. Normally, I never would carry IWB but this works pretty well, especially in dress slacks.

    I have seen those Urban Carry holsters and was wondering what real world users thought of them. Sitting in a car (or just sitting) is the biggest uncomfortable issue I have with holsters. Maybe this one is worth a try.

    For me, especially in my little sports car, that's been the biggest advantage. They're very well-made...nice quality leather. They get more comfortable as the leather softens with use. The magnet in the version 2 is nice in that it prevents launching the gun when you pull it up.

    On top of their "So hidden, it's like the footsteps of a Navy SEAL" advertising that makes me cringe like crazy every time. No thank you. For carry without the thought of actually drawing, I like the idea of a low carry holster you can sit and maneuver in.

    These are all great options for me to look at. What I really need is a better way to hid the clip of my holster when I can't wear a fleece pullover or sweater.

    I am hoping to find something that looks like part of the belt I am wearing.

    Another option is look at getting a smaller pistol for pocket carry, but don't feel like dropping 400+ on a 43.

    The sob may be an option....

    If I were primarily looking to hide the clip, the Ulticlip would be my first look. They're small, and can be covered by your belt. Their retention is reportedly very secure. Also might save one from having to buy a whole new rig.

    How would that work with the weight of the pistol not being on the belt? Would I get any sag?

    With a good belt, kept relatively snug, I'd imagine any "sag" would be negligible. However, I don't have first hand experience to guarantee it. If you do some reading on the pistol centric forums, you'll see users who run them behind the belt with good results. You'll even have people who use them without a belt. I looked into them about a year ago, and they seemed promising. I'll see if I can dig up some threads/videos that specifically discuss being used behind, or without, a belt.
