I wear the same clothes every day and carry whatever I want in florida. I guess it depends on what you do for a living..

I live in south Georgia, and actually I'm from Plant City Fla. I carry no matter the weather. With the Crossbreed Supertuck you can easily conceal under a T-shirt that's loose fitting. The thing really is that comfortable. If I'm gonna be carrying all day I1'll usually put on a wife beater between me and the gun and the T-shirt over that.

And no... I am not associated with them in any way other than I have one and really like it... Been useing it going on 3 years now.

I have a crossbreed and they are great holsters but I dont like IWB carry so I dont use it. I have used several types of holsters but always go back to the OWB leather style. I am just glad there are options for everyone and every situation. There is no reason to ever be unarmed.

I go OWB if I'm going to be wearing a coat or jacket and know I'm not going to need to take it off. but the CB is comfortable enough that I have worn it all day while on the motorcycle during the summer. I'm a fairly beefy boy so IWB probably works better for me than most.

Amother good option IMO is to utilize a vest of some sort. I use an EOTAC field vest. It's functional, has a bunch of pockets that come in handy for all kinds of things, and doesn't have that real "gunny" look like on of the "shoot me first" tactical vests. Also, when on the bike, it just kind of blends right in. Even looks pretty sylish with jeans and what-not.

Well, thanks to Sam, I started carrying my full size E series smith & wesson 1911 because at the BBQ he handed me a real nice leather holster for a full size that I guess he wasnt using and I havent been carrying full size much lately but I think I am going to start again. Like I have said dozens of times, with the proper gear its easy to carry whatever you want to carry. Thanks Sam, nice holster.

I carry a full size in a Tommy Theis IWB holster. I forget I am wearing it. I use an Origianl Instructor Belt C.S.M in black. Its stiff enough and I love it. It keeps my full size Springfield Armory Loaded 45 acp, one or two extra magazines on my left side and my pants up. I cant carry where I work but other than that I have a full size on me at all times.

I'll carry a full size 1911 during colder weather, but an EMP 40 or Kimber Ultra CDP II during warm weather.
