CCW for work

[Pdheald]

I work in a services job were I run the register a lot. I am limited on funds so I have to carry what I have. Right now that is a Beretta 92. A Walther P22 and a Raven arms MP25.
I usually carry the 25 in a pocket holster with an extra mag.
My question is any one have a better idea on how to carry one of the other guns as well? We are required to where a uniform and keep the shirt tucked in and I have used a belly band for the 92 but it just too big and prints all over the place.
Any ideas would be welcome.

if its just a defense weapon,you could sell the walther p22 and buy a small keltec in a better caliber or a ruger lcp or whatever it is.

Crossbreed super tuck. I'm in retail and can hide a glock 19 in business casual with no issues. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Where on the body do you keep the super tuck? About 4 or 5 o'clock?

Unless you're a large person, the beretta 92 is gonna be hard to hide. They're freakin huge and there's no getting around that. I think you're doing the best you can with what you've got.

[Pdheald]

In your opinion should I see if I can find a way to get the P22 on me during the day as well as the 25 in my pocket? Not sure how I could do it because everything I have tried on the hip/belt line prints too much. But I can see about an ankle holster or something else. Just at a loss so asking to use more brain power then I have.

Hate to say it, but it sounds like you need another pistol more suited to CC. Darn, another pistol.

Check out the M&P Shield for a great concealable piece, the M&PC or Glock 19 might be good choices also, easier to hide than what you've got with the 92 and more like a full sized shooter, if that's what your looking for.

A good j frame 38 might also be a good bet. I'm really wanting a 3" SP101 lately for some reason. It would hide well and still be pleasant enough to shoot recreationally.

That would be nice, but if it's not practical then there's not much you can do. The .25 isn't the greatest choice but a .25 in your pocket is better than a .50 in the sock drawer at home. If it's reliable and you trust it, fine. Something like a Shield would be better but if I had the same options as you, I'd do exactly the same thing.

I also suspect you're over thinking the printing issue, but if you're uncomfortable then that just makes it that much more obvious. Edited July 28, 2014 by peejman

The printing issue is not just it showing but where I work we bump into each other a lot and you use the belt line to tell others where you are when moving around each other. So it gets felt. And by some coworkers is it no issue but there are a few coworkers who are anti gun and I don't want it to be an issue for them. I did get a belly band from a friend and put the 92 in it and pull it way up under my arm pit. It did well for hiding it but the sweat was rusting It out and it kept shifting forward and becoming obvious that I had something there. That and I kept hitting people with my arm when moving around them.

Do you have a sentimental attachment to any of them?

 

You could probably sell the three you've got and buy a decent j-frame or one of the current pocket rockets and a good holster.  You'd probably even have some cash left over.

I carried CZ75B aiwb for years in a N82 Tactical holster. They make a tuckable model and virtually no one with notice the clip.

This may be an option for your 92

[Pdheald]

I have an attachment to the 92. My wife will not let me trade HER p22 and the raven is not worth the trading. My goal is to get one of the little wonder 9s soon and I am saving the money for that now. But with our budget and that I just switched company's at my job (no longer a temp but full time now). It will be a wile before I have the money.
My real question is "dos anyone think it would be worth it to try to carry the P22 as well as the raven? And if so what are the best options besides belt carry?"

Carry the P22 as well? Meh. I wouldn't sweat it. A little situational awareness goes a long way.

You might try ankle carry or one of those holster undershirt things.

Run through the scenarios in your head of when you would need to pull a weapon at work. If you are facing an armed gunman and you have made the decision to pull a weapon; you need to be able to stop the threat. The only gun you have that is capable of doing that under those conditions is the Beretta. How much attachment do you have to it?

.40 Shield, done deal.

[MacGyver]

Sell the Raven. You can likely get $125-$150 for it. People like cheap guns they can keep in the glovebox. Take you lunch for a week or two and add $50-$100 and you're in Charter Arms .38 range. Add a decent pocket holster and you're a lot better off than you are right now.

[Pdheald]

Thank you all. I think I am going to keep on the path I was on of saving up and getting a new pocket pistol to replace the raven. Either in 9mm if I can or at least a .38 that will cover my butt. That also means I get to make my self a new holster. I am excited about that. And now I will also see if I can make one like the super tuck that you guys told me about. Thank you
