Unfortunately that is probably what you will have to do. Please don't rant at the folks on the forum because they don't have your perfect answer.mr.72 wrote:You can see how I doubt your sincerity.Wildscar wrote: I hope you find what works for you I really do.
You mean, the only limits are the CLOTHES IN MY CLOSETSo far the only limits I see are the ones you are placing on yourself.

You know this is the single most irritating thing about many gun-carrying folks. It's the overt opinion that once you decide to carry concealed, then every other part of your life needs to be re-oriented around it, otherwise you are being unreasonable. C'mon people, I know some of you are really interested in helping but I asked specifically for information about making something with within my totally normal and reasonable situation.
If you really want to help, then help. If you are going to parrot the advice of "try a series of a $100 holsters, a stiff gun belt, and XL shirts to cover it all" then you know what? That advice is not helpful to me at all.
This is one of the key things that keeps "outsiders" on the "outside".

Never mind. I shall go back to figuring this out on my own.
Not knowing you personally, and not seeing what your body build is like, the actual clothes you wear, etc., there is no way to tell if you can properly carry a Sigma or other larger pistol and conceal it properly over the Internet. There are things that you have to determine on your own sometimes. This is one of them. I can tell you there is a lot of trial and error involved in finding the perfect combination for you. There is no 'one size fits all' in concealed carry. There are WAY too many variables. I have a drawer of holsters and some new clothes to prove it.
If you are not willing to go to looser clothing, then you will have to move down in gun size to be able to cover it. I personally carry a Kahr PM9 most times as it fits well in cargo shorts pockets and you can pocket carry in jeans. However, it is not nearly as comfortable pocket carrying, and not as easy to get to as when I am OWB carrying and wearing a stiff belt and loose shirt. Kangaroo holster works under a polo shirt, but if it is tight, you are going to print, plain and simple. Try putting a 4" Sigma in there and you will DEFINITELY print!
So, again, this is one of those things that will probably require you to either adapt your clothing or go to a smaller firearm and find a loose enough place to carry and cover it, without compromising the presentability.
