I carried a Glock 26 in a Galco Ankle Glove for years while wearing scrubs. I never had a single problem with it and could get to it quickly after some practice.

I wear scrubs all day. To make matters worse, they are like a reddish, purplish, pink color that still draws a dirty look from my father-in-law every time he sees me in them. But I'm sure the hospital I work at got them for practically nothing and I don't have to pay for them myself. I see people walking around with waist packs on all day long. They could be carrying medical stuff, they could be carrying a 1911. No one knows. And like someone said earlier, all that fanny pack stigma goes right out the window when you're in scrubs. If you're wearing them, it's hard to look manly anyway.

Get a small bag that will fit your gun nicely. Red or orange is the color here - screams "medical." Preferably something with a big, white cross on it. Something that will slip on a nylon web belt, or something similar. That way, it looks like a bag of stuff you need for your job and you pulled it together out of expediency. Not like you spent a weekend shopping online for the perfect fanny pack that will match all your accessories.

Hey, wearing scrubs is bad enough. Don't make it worse. Make it work for you.

Op, if you don't mind the "fanny pack" idea, I ran across this on the NRA website, http://www.nrastore.com/nrastore/Produc ... 20009&ct=e" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. I will probably be getting one for the same reason. It looked like the easiest solution to me.
