How to Conceal Carry in Summer

Carry comfortably and discreetly when you can't hide behind a jacket.

  1. 1
    Lean on appendix carry

    AIWB hides a gun well under a single untucked t-shirt — often the best summer option.

  2. 2
    Choose the right gun size

    A slim micro-compact (43X, P365, Hellcat) prints far less than a double-stack under light clothing.

  3. 3
    Dress around it

    Slightly looser, darker, patterned shirts break up printing. A good belt and holster keep the gun tight to the body.

  4. 4
    Manage sweat

    A holster claw and a sweat shield (or an undershirt) keep the gun comfortable and protect it from corrosion.

Safety first: always treat every gun as loaded, keep your finger off the trigger until ready, and confirm it's unloaded before any maintenance.
