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?

Belly band would seem the easiest to put on and conceal, assuming your scrubs aren't tight fitting.

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??? :eek6 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. :leaving

Who would wear a fanny pack?

Clint Eastwood - No fanny pack
John Wayne - No fanny pack
Anderson Cooper - fanny pack
George Stephanopoulos - fanny pack
Chuck Norris - No fanny pack
Martin Sheen - fanny pack
Ronald Reagan - No fanny pack
George Clooney - 2 fanny packs, (1 for him and 1 for obama)

Get the drift? :smilelol5:

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! :oops:

Welcome to the forum fellow jammy wearer!

could you stitch across the bottom of the slot to make it a pocket?

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.
