I carry a P320 with a light on it. It's carried OWB in a custom kydex holster. No one ever notices. The average person on the street is oblivious to what's going on around them so noticing a person that is barely printing is way beyond their capabilities. Especially when I'm conscious of how I might be printing so I slightly (and comfortably) adjust my stance to make it more difficult to notice. Heck, most people wouldn't even notice if you open carried. I walked behind a guy through a big store who was open carrying. I followed him just to watch people and see if they noticed him and no one did even when he was standing next to them. As mentioned, get a good belt, good holster and just try it out.
Could be worse. In a Nashville bar I had drunk guy stumble against me, and his shoulder-holstered HK Hand-cannon flopped out of his oversized blue blazer. Was funny and sad at the same time.
How DO you compensate for it then? Oh, and short barreled revolver OWB with a gun belt. Untuck shirt. Done.
LCP with this: http://shop.brownells.com/shooting-...hflDhxa9_B_hssHTCoSD7kWG55vRcvDgaAu4WEALw_wcB You'll forget its there until your home and undress and it hits the ground. Easy to draw, and they make them for left or right side.
Jeezus. I have a full-length Super Redhawk, and I hate it (was a gift, so I can't bring myself to part with it). One box of full-powered ammo and my hand is bleeding. Can't imagine the purpose of a snubby in that size/caliber.
it does put on quite a light show. Maybe that's the point - since you can't hit the perp, you can blind him with the muzzle flash long enough to hit him over the head with the 9lb gun
I once heard those type of weapons were used by back country guides as back-up guns for approaching large wild game that had been downed.
I'm probably getting a shield soon for carry. I love my G19, but just not that comfortable for me to carry. I've tried 3 or 4 different ways. I shot both the G43 and Shield one day. The Shield was much more reliable and intuitive. The G43 felt a little small in my hand and was pretty inaccurate for me.
Horribly inaccurate, but just having it pointed at you will probably make you change course asap. You can also club them to death after you're empty.
