If you work in an office, concealing your gun within dress code parameters can limit carry options. FMG Publications Online Editor Mark Kakkuri finds the right rig to enhance “executive carry” and shares a few other top picks.
“If you carry concealed, you know what it means to dress around your gun. You might order pants with an extra inch or two in the waistband, wear a gun belt, wear a shirt untucked or add a second layer — some people, however, don’t have that option,” Kakkuri writes. “The 5″ wide DeSantis Belly Band offers a few pockets, easily accommodating a Kimber Eclipse Ultra II and a spare mag. Wearing this rig with dress pants and a tucked-in shirt, the pistol stays well hidden.”
In another online exclusive for americanhandgunner.com, Kakkuri reviews the petite Beretta Pico, which carries concealed easily and “nearly disappears” in hand.
“Being the epitome of small, thin and lightweight, the Pico .380 semi-auto pistol surprised me with easy-to-manage recoil. In fact, the first range session with the Pico proved it an accurate shooter — once I learned how to get my hand around it,” Kakkuri says. “But Pico’s most endearing features are its exceptional size and weight. It hides easily, anywhere. Perfect for a gun you’ll carry a lot and probably shoot a little.”
