Of course it depends on where you live in this huge state and what you normally wear. For those of use who wear sport clothes most of the time and carry on the waistband, the main difference is that a light jacket (or heavier one if its colder) makes it unnecessary to cover with a shirt or special garment. I live in Austin, so we almost never have a day where I need an overcoat or something that is really going to prevent access.baseballguy2001 wrote:As someone who hasn't yet got the plastic yet, is there such a thing as summer carry and winter carry? I was considering my Glock 23 for winter and the Walther PPK/S for summer. I'm currently looking for holsters, any advice? Thanks in advance.
IWB works for pretty much everything as long as you are willing to wear a (decent) belt and adjust you pants waist perhaps.
OWB works better if you are going to wear a coat than if you are trying to cover it with a shirt etc.
Others will have to talk about shoulder and ankle holsters as I am not fond of them -- for me.
If you lived up north and needed to wear both a suit coat and an overcoat, getting to anything on your waist is probably a challenge. Ankle and pocket, should holster starts looking a lot more attractive.
One complication (ok there's always at least one, and there are probably more): Winter doesn't much matter when you get where you are going since pretty much everywhere is 'room temperature' and you will usually want to shed the coats. So you end up having to dress for both, winter outside, summer/normal inside. It does though make you look less unusual if you keep a vest, sweater, or jacket on inside.
Funny thing is it can be 75 degree inside and a jacket in the winter looks normal, while the same jacket and 75 degrees MIGHT look odd in summer. Expectations control a lot of our reactions to what we see.
