    Default Concealed carry vest

    A vest by bluestone safety was mentioned in an article on carry options in the Jan/Feb issue of American Handgunner. Looks interesting. Any of you have any experience with it?

    I was just going to post up about shoulder carry, you don't see a lot of entries anywhere about them. But this vest looks like just the ticket for this time of year. I think that's a GL 21 he's got in his right inside pocket.

    I carry a .45 compact IWB (about 32oz loaded) and at the end of the day, I can't wait to get it off. It's not bad walking around, but I do a lot of driving between jobs and it's either jamming you in the crotch or pressing against your abdomen/chest. Always moving it around to get comfy.

    Thanks for the heads-up, HK. I'm gonna order one tonight. Be back in a week or 2 and let everyone know how it works out.

    Very nice "shoot me first" vest!

    j/k. I'd wear it to the range, but that's about it. I'm more of a peacoat/bomber kinda guy myself...

    I don't know, to me it doesn't have that much of a "tactical/military look to it. More like a photo journalistic/safari look. Doesn't seem to scream "gun" as much as some others. That is kind of what drew me to it. IMHO.

    I thought Members Only stopped making peacoats years ago.







    Couldn't resist....

    It would be nice if it came in a nice denim though... I'd think more seriously about it.. I ride motorcycles and it would "blend in" much better in denim.
    Also the Magazine area needs a flap over it, or be made into another "pocket" in the same location with a short flap, otherwise, if it's hot and you have it open, they will be out in the open and scream "gun"

    I keep going back to a nice 3/4 length leather coat. They just look more "Classy"...

    The vest showed up tonight and I am very happy with it. Looks a lot better in person than the video shows. The one he's got on must have been washed 20 times, so it looks a little beat up.

    What you don't see in the video is that it has a heavy-duty zipper front which you only need down a couple of inches to get at the payload. The pockets are great because in my line of work I've got to carry a phone, camera, set of keys, notepads, writing tools, etc. It's even got an American flag sewn on.

    I'll wear this under a zippered hoody, so it will be an excellent work outfit for me. Thumbs up.

    Tried to load a pic, but it won't take. Will try a little later.

    I have a 5.11 Vest I wear at the range and when I'm hiking. Otherwise, I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt in the summer or a leather car coat (3/4 length) in the cooler months. The lumber jack look with a flannel shirt works for me as well.
