I've recently obtained my permit, and have two firearms.
One is a Keltec P32 I effectively inherited/had gifted. I carry that in a pocket holster as it's small, and easy to tuck away into the safe I keep under the car seat when I have to stop by one of my frequent clients where firearms would be an issue ( a school).
For other days I've got a smartcarry sized for an XD45. It's not the compact, but it also doesn't have the longer barrel or the extended magazine. In baggy jeans the most it seems to do is have the bottom of the grip push out a bit a few inches below the beltline to the right of center. I've gone this route since tucked button up or polo shirts are a necessity, even though the pants are usually clean denims. It has been fairly comfortable and with the weight being carried by the velcro around the hips hasn't made the pants ride down or anything.
I LIKE the XD's - they fit my hand well as opposed to the glocks, and I don't want to transition to a single stack variant either.
That said - no-one seems to have noticed anything unusual.
Either way, I want another option that is reasonably concealable - and wanted opinions on the crossbreed supertuck and their weapons belt. The clips are likely concealable enough but I'll likely take the velcro option. The belts look good and I believe others around here have recommended them.
I was also looking at another belt system, not a dedicated gun belt but still sturdy looking, and was wondering if anyone had experience with using slidebelts ( https://www.slidebelts.com/products/top-grain-brown-leather-belts ) or adapting them for velcro?
Are there any other suggestions I should look into?
