    Question - how to best conceal

    I got my CWP (its a permit in Va.) about 2 months ago. I have an Uncle Mikes in the pocket holster that works with some of my pants, and a Vega holster that can be worn either inside the belt or outside.
    I rarely wear baggy clothes, or wear my shirts untucked.  What suggestions do you have for concealing a BT380? 

    The problem with the pocket holster is that some pockets are too deep and then the hammer hangs up on the top of the pocket. 

    Comments or photos appreciated.

    Smartcarry or Thunderwear would be worth looking into IMO. It has it's pro's and cons but sounds like it might work for you.  I carry in Thunderwear and for deep concealment it's hard to beat.

    Re: Question - how to best conceal

    I've got a plain old canvas-type of holster w/ a clip that fits very comfortably IWB.  Although the .380 sits a little deep (e.g., the grip is not completely 100% free), I can draw reasonably quickly.  Putting my thumb on the tang for a split second helps get it right out, and since it's a little deep there's no need for any extra strap or anything..  The inside is a pretty soft material that is supposed to wick any moisture away from the gun.  It was a very affordable purchase at the recent Valley Forge gun show and it seems to work well for me.

    I'm probably opening up for a bit of grief from the illustrious members here who love UBG, Uncle Mike's, etc., but that's my $.02.

    Over the years I have carried concealed in several ways...but most often I carry in a pocket holster. It is generally the most convenient for me.
    Seems to me that "Time" is merely an artificial concept, created by man, with which to hassel himself.

    you'll not get any grief from me for watching your money. I bought a protech outdoors IWB at the last gunshow for 15 bucks. my bersa 380cc fits down in it like you say. best thing is my S&W 457 fits down in it too and i love to carry that gun!!! i don't have a bunch of money to spend on frivolities. this holster works great for me and that's all that really matters.

    I use an inside the pants generic $5.00  nylon holster stuffed with my new Bersa 380cc. I also carry my model 27 Glock the same way.

    Re: Question - how to best conceal

    I use an Uncle Mikes Sidekick size 1 holster designed for IWB. I usually jusy clip it in my pocket. With a shirt hanging out or wearing a jacket I dont think theres in problem in it showing. Seems to be pretty secure there and available quickly if needed.

    If you have pockets that are to deep you can shorten them by sewing! If a pocket is too short just add to the pocket.

    Re: Question - how to best conceal

    A great idea would be to get a 380CC with the bobbed hammer. It's much easier to pocket carry.

    I use an Uncle Mike's #3 ($12.50) to carry either my SW .38 442 snubby or my BT .380 CC inside my front pants pocket. No imprinting and therefore no need for big shirts, jackets, or anything else.
