Conceal under surgical scrubs - any input?
« on: November 12, 2009, 09:33:08 PM »
Lady Bic has, due to a series of recent circumstances, decided to carry her Walther PPS, under her work clothing - surgical scrubs. Belt holster are obviously out of the question, IWB clips probably not a much better option.

I suggested a 5.11 holster undershirt........and then I was out of suggestions. Yours would be appreciated,

                                                                                                                                                    MP
Best Wishes, Mike.

I wear scrubs at work. The best I could come up with was an ankle holster.  Not the fastest to access but I think it is the least likely to be noticed.

a belly band will be seen or felt sooner or latter.

With scrubs, I'd probably go with a top quality ankle rig.

Or maybe a deep concealment rig from Thunderwear...   http://thunderwear.com/holsters.asp

Smartcarry. www.smartcarry.com That's the only suggestion I can come up with. Carry the spare mag in it too to help break up the outline of the top of the slide. (At least I have to when carrying my GLOCK 30 in mine. May not be a probem whit a PPK/S though.)

I was going to suggest looking at one of these as well. I really can't think of anything else other than an  ankle holster and odds are good that you'll never get to it in time. Better than nothing, but barely. Maybe a fanny pack rig,something small, worn behind the back and designed for a weapon FAG Bag style? If she's a doc, she gets to wear the white coat over her scrubs, maybe something very small like a Kel-Tec .32 or a Bond Arms in .357 in a pocket?  Seriously though, I don't kow her work environmet. Give us details and we'll be more helpful. Salty, if you or anyone else uses one of the smart carry rigs or its clones, please post a review.

Don't have any suggestions for carry but...in most places it is against the law to carry in any health care facility.  This is not to say some don't but.........

With what Richard posted I'll preface by saying make sure it is legal and ok with the bosses.

Scrubs are loose fitting, which is good for carry, but they are flimsy, which is bad for conceal.  I would take advantage of loose fit and go with an ankle rig.  It is one area that would not be noticable, it would allow easy access with the baggy legs, and it would put it in an area that would not interfere with typical health care job duties which are very physical.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

I think the ankle carry is the best solution.  I can't wear scrubs because my butt left me sometime ago, and I most assuredly need a belt to keep my pants up.
You can never have too many guns, or too much ammo
