With the bending and moving stuff AIWB won’t be very comfortable. A pocket holster and small semi auto or J-frame are probably your only other option. The DeSantis Nemesis is a great holster. I also have a TUFF products one that lets me carry a speed strip with my J-frame in the same pocket.
How are you fixed for knives? I recommend you look at Zero Tolerance or a Spyderco Endura w/ wave opener or other similar knives.
Also, you are aware of short sleeve button down shirts, right?
That would be the environment I habitat - year round.
This is another one where real world is different from ‘urban legend’ - i.e. “it’s impossible to carry full size concealed - MUST have compact”.
Don’t overthink - do it and KISS!
My edc is a M&P9L, usually in leather. Sometimes a Steyr M9L. (Soon a VP9 or PPQ i hope…)
Wear it both outside and inside waistband, 90% of time I wear untucked: Basic rule - dress to carry - simple.
When I have to tuck in, the leather against skin with a belt provides a rock-solid platform, no belt loops needed.
VERY comfortable, practically invisible.
Also when circumstances allow (demand?) I’ll carry kydex (with light), usually when I know I’m out n about in lo-nolight situation. Not as concealable by far, but usually no issue.
Basic truth is most won’t know what to look for, with cell phones and all that crap people wear, and after a while once you get used to it you’ll figure out how your body forms around your rig most ‘concealed’ - if that makes sense.
Most important is to actually practice draw from your set-up, regardless what it is - it will be revealing…
That’s typical dress for me most days and our weather is similar. My standard rig is a M&P Shield in a Comptac minotaur at my 5 o’clock, bodyguard 380 in the back right pocket in a desantis nemesis and an extra mag for the shield in a sneaky Pete owb mag holster.
G26 in Galco Ankle holster, G19 spare mag in my pocket(s) . Same setup I use in my non-permissive work environment and at my friends wedding. Dancing and all.
Euro, are you certain that you couldn’t get away with an un-tucked Polo (as in Ralph Lauren with the little horse and everything) with a pair of khakis?
I roll to church like that without a single batting of an eye…and have no problems CCW’ing my G19 and an extra mag or two.
S&W 36 in a Galco ankle holster. I do this quite often. It is certainly not ideal as drawing is awkward and slower but, the 36 is completely concealed wearing typical business casual kaki pants.
Most people you encounter don’t pay attention to your feet.
J-frame in an ankle holster for me. If you can fit it in your pocket, that would be another choice, probably a better choice, but just doesn’t work for me except in loose fitting cargo shorts.
