How to Concealed Carry During Summer

Temperatures are rising all across the country, and whether you love it or hate it, it’s going to be here to stay for awhile. In other words, you’re going to have to come up with a new strategy for concealing one of our kydex gun holsters. It’s pretty easy in fall and winter! All you have to do is layer your clothing — which you were probably doing anyway — and concealing your firearm takes care of itself.

When it starts to warm up? Well, that’s when it gets rather difficult. After all, chances are that you’re ditching the flannel shirt and the jacket, and it’s not exactly easy to conceal a weapon underneath a t shirt. So what’s a person to do? The good news is that the team at Eclipse Holsters has been doing this for years now and we’ve actually gotten rather good at it! That’s why we’ll be sharing a few of the things that we’ve learned in today’s post. If you’re concerned about how to concealed carry during the summer, we’re here to help. Keep reading to learn more!

Our Tips for Concealed Carry When It’s Hot Outside

Try Lighter Layers

If you’re willing to mix things up a little bit, you can dress similarly to how you would in winter when the temperatures start to rise. Trade the flannel shirt for a 100% cotton short sleeve button up and swap the heavy jeans for a pair of khakis. It’s a similar outfit, but it’s much more breathable, allowing you to continue to carry your firearm without sacrificing comfort.

Find the Right Belt

The right belt can do wonders for concealed carrying in the summer. The combination of a pair of shorts, an IWB holster, and a good EDC belt can do wonders for concealed carriers. Be sure to take a look at our EDC belts which are designed exactly for this purpose! They’re comfortable and they stay put, allowing you to wear whatever you want while also reducing the risk of printing. In other words, in many instances it can be a win/win situation.

Opt for a Smaller Gun

The 1911 you’re used to carrying is a wonderful gun, but unfortunately, it’s also pretty hefty. That’s fine in winter, of course, but it’s much more visible when worn underneath a typical summer outfit. Our advice? Find a firearm that’s smaller because that also means that it’s quite a bit easier to conceal. We’re lucky to live in a day and age where finding a well-designed, reliable handgun is easier than ever, so take full advantage. Do your research, try a few things out, and treat yourself to a gun you’ll carry specifically when spring and summer arrive. After all, who doesn’t want to treat themselves to a new gun?
