Step-by-Step
How to Conceal Carry in Summer
Carry comfortably and discreetly when you can't hide behind a jacket.
- 1Lean on appendix carry
AIWB hides a gun well under a single untucked t-shirt — often the best summer option.
- 2Choose the right gun size
A slim micro-compact (43X, P365, Hellcat) prints far less than a double-stack under light clothing.
- 3Dress around it
Slightly looser, darker, patterned shirts break up printing. A good belt and holster keep the gun tight to the body.
- 4Manage sweat
A holster claw and a sweat shield (or an undershirt) keep the gun comfortable and protect it from corrosion.
Safety first: always treat every gun as loaded, keep your finger off the trigger until ready, and confirm it's unloaded before any maintenance.
