I agree with a lot of what SLG said in that article, but not 100%. I consider myself lucky that I don’t have to wear typical business attire for work, but I can certainly appreciate the compromise some have to make to carry in that type of clothes, and the smaller “slimline” guns make a lot of sense for that situation. If I have to be as discreet as is possible, I’ll choose a 365xl on a Mastermind covert belt under my clothes, but that is not typical for me. When hanging out around the house doing chores or yard work, the 365xl is great for the sake of less bulk and the perception of less chance of needing a gun.
I’m old enough to be slightly fudd-minded when I see grown men out in public in sweats and wife beaters. On the other hand, I’m young enough to not feel the need to wear slacks and a button up when I’m just out and about running errands and such. 99% of the time I’m in jeans and a tshirt if it’s warm, or a flannel or hoodie if it’s cool enough. In those type of clothes I don’t personally find it difficult to conceal g19 at all, and I’m far from a big guy. I just got back from the store today, it was only 50-ish and I chose to carry a g47 because it’s easy to conceal with a hoodie on. Everyone has their reasons, but I find it hard to see any logic in choosing a smaller, harder to shoot pistol because you can’t be bothered to wear a pair of jeans and a belt instead of jogging pants and a tight ass tshirt to the Walmart… YMMV, IMHO etc.
