Best way to carry in hospital scrubs
I work in a hospital that requires me to wear medical scrubs, the kind with the drawstring that is difficult enough to keep from falling down with a cell phone let alone a fully loaded gun! Anyway, I can't carry inside the hospital because of the 30.06, but when I leave work, i like to strap on my gun to go from car to house (or anywhere else once I get my plastic) but can't figure a way to carry in these scrubs that keep the gun readily accessible on body.
Any ideas?

Re: Best way to carry in hospital scrubs
Belly band would seem the easiest to put on and conceal, assuming your scrubs aren't tight fitting.

smart carry or something alot those lines, you carry lower. Leave it on at work and you can put your phone in it too

Re: Best way to carry in hospital scrubs
Check my post history. . . I've never recommended this to anybody else before.
You should consider a fanny pack.
Here's why:
- In scrubs, people will assume it's a gear bag of some sort loaded with things you need, probably medical equipment or personal effects that don't fit in your pockets.
- It's easy to strap on / off without undressing (or wearing an empty holster all day).
- I also support the ankle carry option, but a fanny pack gives you much better access for a quick and clean draw.

Fanny pack??? If my buddies see me wearing one of those it will be all over for me. I don't want to think about what my kids would say.fickman wrote:Check my post history. . . I've never recommended this to anybody else before.

In all reallity, my wife and daughter own a dog grooming business and wear similar clothes. The both weara fanny pack while at work as well as too and from. Everyone just figures its tools of the trade. I guess it really is

Re: Best way to carry in hospital scrubs
I too wear scrubs to work ( I love wearing my pajamas as staff and kids call them as they are too comfort) - +1 on the belly band - I can easily adjust where it sits on my - height of waistband if I change to jeans and forget my IWB holster or belt. I can imagine the smart carry would work well too. Now, my difference is I can not carry at work as my employer does not allow; but I do run errands after work, lifting feed bags, groceries, bending etc and have never had an issue with shifting guns and it does hold an extra mag. DO be sure you use the extra little "pocket" for your mag and NOT the extra holster slot, as your bullets and magazines will fall out the bottom and that will make your face red!

Re: Best way to carry in hospital scrubs
could you stitch across the bottom of the slot to make it a pocket?

Re: Best way to carry in hospital scrubs
Sew Texas - it would be very easy to turn the "extra holster slot" into a pocket. My bands have 2 mag pockets and 2 holsters - that way you can carry either side; left or right. When I carry my .380 it does not poke out the bottom of the holster area, but my 9mm does - so if you want both options you can't sew the holster up.
