    Need A Conceal Carry Solution...

    Ok, dress code is polo shirt tucked, dress pants (I might be able to get away with 511s) and no jacket, vest or coat of any kind. And absolutely can't be visible, polos print easily.

    I'd like to get away with my HK P7 but it won't back pocket carry, they don't seem to make a pocket holster for a front pocket and a tucked holster won't work with a polo without printing.

    Ankle holsters really aren't gonna work, I hate them. Additionally there will be some activity required and ankle holsters get beat up pretty good sometimes.

    Right now I'm looking at a back pocket Kel Tec P11. I'd like a better option if I can come up with one.

    I've never heard of anyone else using these holsters before. But I've been using one for my M&P 9c for 3 years and it conceals with a cotton t-shirt tucked in, just tucked in somewhat loosely.

    Of course a clip will be visible on your belt though, lol. If you wear a black belt, it won't be too noticeable.

    If you can wait until tomorrow, I'll take a picture.

    The one complaint I had was that one time, because the pistol was held so tight against my side, it actually depressed the mag release hard enough to eject the mag. So I modified it by cutting out a hole where the mag release button would sit against the leather normally. Yes it's kind of an ugly mod I did, but there's no way it'd eject now.

    Kahr PM9. Should be easily pocket concealable and less issues than Kel-Tec.

    Unless you wanted to start dropping down in caliber to a .32 ACP with like a Beretta Tomcat.

    Appreciate the feedback.

    However a tucked holster isn't gonna work for me. I'm in FL so wearing a t shirt under a polo just isn't gonna work. The tucked holsters I experimented with in the past always print with a tucked polo and that isn't gonna fly for what I need, neither will not having your polo tucked in. Nothing inside the waist is going to be an option.

    And finally, given the speed at which I can draw from a tucked holster I might as well masking tape it to my thigh.

    I wish Sneaky Pete holsters were made for a P7, I could get away with that. I'm just hoping that maybe somebody has figured out something that I haven't thought of.

    I've got a Don Hume IW clip that works perfectly at six o clock if I just had some damn way to conceal it. It won't work under a polo, I've tried, it still prints noticeably. I also don't want to sweat all over my carry gun for 8 hours.

    I'm trying not to buy another gun and I don't own a Kahr. My options are HKP7 (ideal if I can come up with a carry solution), Ruger SP101 or Kel Tec P11. I'm trying to do better than a back pocket Kel Tec. I can get a front pocket holster for the SP101 but that will be a tad bulky and I'd like to figure out a P7 solution if I can.

    I didn't realize you were stuck with those three.

    There's a local brand called Looper that does some odds and ends holsters. I'll check tomorrow if they have anything pocket sized for the H&K.

    I have others but I don't want to carry a .38, .380 or a .32 and I prefer an auto to a wheel.

    They have some oddball holsters that gather dust on the shelves in an LGS. I'll see if there's anything for the P7 that is pocket compatible. No promises though.

    Is front pocket carry of the P7 an option?

    These guys make a kydex pocket holster for it

    I have one for my J-frame and it works well for my needs.
    If you can't win a gun fight against a lightly-trained individual during broad daylight with 88 rounds of 30-06, I'm not sure you'd be able to do it with... any other firearm.

    Ok, I've got an El Camino full of rampage here, so what's the plan?

    442 or 642 in a Galco front pocket holster and a speed strip in the watch pocket.
