The M&P feels like the designer took a Glock and molded it to fit a human hand. And it tucks away nicely, even with a light and laser.

But for the vast majority of the time I carry, it's been a .357 snubbie. You could conceal one of those while naked.

Pics or it didnt happen... lol

I think I'm gonna grab a shield. I hear its in .45 now

. I can completely conceal my kimber if I put it right in the middle of my back with my IWB Milt Sparks holster (btw if you dont have one of his holsters youre missing out!)

I've got a Kimber Ultra Carry II that hides nicely, but is a real handful to shoot. Appendix carry isn't bad, just hard to sit in the Z with it. Normally, I carry OWB strong side, shaded just past the hip.

cant sit in my car with it either lol. My BMW I was fine, but this AMG has bolstered seats that hug the sh*t out of you. Just grinds my gun into my back till its raw.

My carry gun for the longest time was a Colt Gov't Model 70 45ACP. I carried that when I was plain clothes security, and drove an armor car.

Had very little problem concealing it under a suit or shirt that wasn't tucked in.

I got over 13,000 rounds through it. 95% of that was reloads. The biggest problem I had with it was/is the slide stop levelers. They would break at the barrel link, letting to slide and barrel come off the frame. Broke 4 of those. Lost the front sight 3 times. Needs a new barrel and bushing. The slide is loose. The whole gun needs a complete rebuild.

When I do executive protection in LA I carry under my suit jacket. That's where the thing shines.

Executive protection was fun. Got to meet a lot of stupid people who didn't want to listen for their own safety.

That's an understatement. Yo, they hire you but they know better than you. Don't even get me started about babysitting the kids too. Daddy hires you to watch his daughter/son. Omfg...
