TL;DR- Please advise on either a pocket carry or really easy to conceal belt gun for summer carry/t shirt and basketball shorts/ other light wear.

I live in Alabama, and it’s hotter than hell here a good bit of the year, especially during the summer.

I currently carry my first pistol, which I got earlier this year- a CZ P01. I love this gun, and am able to hit good groups with it (albeit a little left of where I’m aiming it) but the size of the grip makes it print very bad when wearing anything other than hawaiian shirts.

Granted, I wear Hawaiian shirts a good bit of the time, but sometimes I just want to throw on a T shirt and basketball shorts and go to walmart to pick up a few things. (I can wear my CZ p01 with this outfit, but again, it prints like crazy and is hard to conceal).

I am currently looking at pocket carry options, such as a SW 442, Charter Arms Undercover, Glock 42, LCP Max, etc. I have handled a 442, Glock 42, and an LCP max and like the feel of all of those, but I imagine the shootability of the Max and the 442 maybe a little rough.

Any input at all on these options, or anything else? I would prefer as good of a value as possible, and am willing to consider outside of pocket carry, such as subcompact, slim revolvers/automatics, as long as they conceal well under a t shirt and shorts.

Thanks in advance!

    I’ve really found the Phlster Enigma to be a good setup for that type of clothes. Plus it’s versatile and can also be used to effectively conceal under dress clothes. That’s how I use it most of the time: carrying a p365x under a tucked in polo at work. And then I can just leave it on when I change into my house clothes when I get home as it’s worn under the pants.

        Yea if you combine that system with either a small light revolver like the 442 you were looking at or something like a 365/hellcat then you’ve got a very comfortable, easy to conceal system.
