[HOLLiS]

Other choices beside holsters, are boot/shoes that you wear. Open top boots, like cowboy or engineer, allows a holster to be clipped to the boot top. Choice of pistol helps to, a such as the chief special (Smith model 36(?)).. The scandium frames are small and very very light. In the 357 Magnum, it is very recoil unfriendly. I would probably go with a old 38 Sp load in those 357 M. Scandiums wheel guns. Such as 148 Gr HBWC, loaded inverted and on the +p side. Edited to add" a longer trouser helps, especially when setting down.

Other Summer possibles is the fanny pack. I re-rig the zipper pulls to look more normal. Having the quick pull zipper set up in the corner or a heavy pistol is a sure give away it is a conceal carry fanny pack. Also, if speed is not so important, a standard not for carry fanny pack can be used.

Also small autos, that just fit inside of your trousers pocket.

Only comment about having a firearm in your pocket, is one that May West once said, "Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?" Again size is important.
