Well, I was going through some stuff in the garage today and found a Crossbreed Supertuck for my Sig P229. I've never worn it because I bought it when I still lived in San Diego, where getting a CCW permit was a pipe dream. I bought it as a precaution for a SHTF scenario. Going to see if it works well with some of my work clothes this weekend, maybe wear it on my weekly Walmart trip to see how she handles.

Lucky find!

Wright Leatherworks has some very nice holsters that are tuckable and even able to use the ulticlip and secure themselves to your trousers rather than your belt. I only haven’t gone that way when dressing “fancy” because my body got fatter and now the clothes are all too tight to try this with a smi-compact. Will have to get more of their stuff for smaller framed items and let you know how it goes.
Otherwise it means downsizing to pocket guns, sadly. I need to lose weight!

Guess the OP found what he was looking for?
I must've missed this thread it's first time around as I don't recall it.
My 2 cents based on years of limited experience, both concealability and accessibility are still direct trade-offs. The deeper the concealment, the slower the presentation.
However, the preferred best method IMO, is pocket carry and my choice of carry has recently (about a month ago) changed. I've pretty much consistently been a G43 and M642 guy for back pocket and on rare occasions, M380 BG for front pocket. Recently trying the regular standard, smallest P365, based on its minute smaller size than the G43 but more (6-10) mag capacity. Good luck and be safe.

I tried to read thru most of the posts and if this is mentioned, my apologizes for double posting. I use a Kangaroo Carry, an under shirt carrier. this gets used if I will be in a position that I do not carry IWB at 4 o'clock. Probably doing this 40% of the time. Available for male or female. I do find the strap is a bit rough and wear an undershirt most of the time.

It is not as fast as IWB but is not real slow. some of my shirts have snaps that open very quickly. I would rip off buttons if really in need. I also have a P-3AT in 380 and a leather pocket holster. summer shorts this works pretty well. also when I know I am going into a "government building" or Oklahoma casino, the pocket holster is easy to pull out of pocket to go into under car seat safe.

Kangaroo carry works well for G43 or G26/7 size pistols. I have carried a G22 some but it is getting a little bit big/heavy. I have had a few hugs at church and been asked if I wear a brace. I just answer my emergency response kit. keeping left arm down against side keeps most from feeling any bumps.

ankle for a couple reasons- it's easier to handle a #2 and it's just less a chance of being seen/noticed- I have 3 different ankle holsters and finally just had to get some Velcro to secure the extra mag and a needle and heavy thread to better secure my Sig 365- it just felt floppy in a holster designed to handle a variety of brands. I'm going to keep looking for a holster I like though cause I want it to feel right at church - a funeral or some of the meetings I attend when I can't go with jeans and my shirt untucked, and I carry on the hip. I went to a Sig 365 from a G43 cause the Sig has a 10 - 12- 15 and 17 round mag you can use. I carry with a 12 round and have a 17-round back-up. I like the G43 a little better but it's 7 rounds with a 10-round back-up on 10 more rounds in the same space.

When I have to tuck my shirt in, I go IWB with something designed to tuck the shirt in around the holster so the only thing showing is the clips. Same position 4 o'clock as well. If I need to, I can always run my smart carry holster with my P365. It's not quick out of the holster by any means, but it's deep carry and there if I need it.
Mag* lol
