CC Question
Posted on 2/13/13 at 2:02 pm

I just took my CC class this weekend and will carry as soon as I get the permit in...
My question is, is it possible to carry in your waistband without buying a whole new wardrobe? If not what would you do? Ankle carry? Would the OB be kind enough to give me some CC holster suggestions?
The gun I'll be carrying (for now) is a Ruger LCR

Different people prefer different things and unfortunately its a lot of trial and error. Whatever u do...buy a good gun belt.

Have the professional model of the n82tactical coming in Friday. Tons of video reviews on YouTube, and all really positive. Wanted something that would be easy on/off, comfortable, and tuckable.
Also considering a Remora holster to wear (after work) with my scrubs or when I'm not wearing a belt. Lots of good YouTube videos on those too. Check them out.
Edited to fix link.

lsuj,
Welcome to the world of concealed carry. Reflect on your responsibilities and practice a lot and you'll be fine. You pose some good questions.
I carry a number of guns IWB. It's most comfortable for me to have my IWB carry pants waist size about 1" larger than usual. My cc guns are pretty thin, all <1" in thickness. I don't know how the LCR will fit you for IWB carry, though. Only you can find that out.
As far as alternatives to IWB carry, I've never used ankle carry. I have a close friend who started out w/ it, but quickly stopped it; it was very uncomfortable for him.
I use IWB and pocket carry. Started out mostly tucking my shirts, but now mostly carry untucked. The LCR is small enough and light enough that pocket carry may work for you. It will depend on your pants and how comfortable it is to you. I have a Kel-Tec P3-AT that I fits nicely in all pockets except blue jeans. I have a Kel-Tec PF9 that I can pocket carry w/ most slacks and all cargo type pants.
As far as holsters, lots of folks like Kydex or Kydex/leather holsters for IWB use. Personally, I prefer leather. I can personally recommend the following holster makers:
LINK I use their rear pocket holster to cc my PF9 in the right front pocket.
I cc the P3-AT in a pocket holster from Woolfe Gun Leather. I use their "Lone Wolf-T" for a Commander 1911. LINK
I use a Remora Holster for IWB carry of an Officer 1911. It's very easy and fast to put it on. It's surprisingly effective. Mine is the non-tuckable version. I've always thought a Remora could do double duty for IWB and pocket carry, but haven't tried it for pocket carry.
Crossbreed, White Hat, Comp-Tac and a number of others are well respected w/ Kydex or hybrid holsters.
As already mentioned, get a good HOLSTER belt. For casual wear, I use Wilderness Instructor belts.
Good luck and let us know what you end up using.

Another CC question - how much does the average course cost?
