CCW with a kilt

[Scootter]

Dreadbelly, There are times when it is good to be so close you can hear the little weasel wet himself. To be close enough to watch the sweat develope. But there are also times when it pays to just get it overwith and get out.

Galco Thigh Band Holster
The Galco Thigh Band is the second-generation Galco thigh holster, designed for both male and female shooters, to be worn under pleated pants, long pleated shorts, a dress or a skirt. The leather holster pocket is mounted on a 4" wide thigh band made of heavy duty elastic, and connected to your pants belt with the belt hook

I've tried several options, including neokilts. Josh did a great job on the neokilt, but what I've started doing most of the time is wearing a "normal" width belt underneath my kilt belt. I attach my favorite inside the waist band holster to the small belt and the large belt prevents printing. Then I wear whatever shirt I would if I were wearing jeans and the same rig. It just seems more comfortable to me to be able to wear the same setup whether kilted or not. It was an easy transition to carry kilted, I don't feel like I am going to lose control or have a difficult time with drawing a loose weapon from a deep pocket in a UK, or a from a sporran in a traditional. My favorite way.

I am somewhat supprised that no one had yet mentioned a sporran for concealed carry. As a leather hobbyist I would have little trouble adapting one for that use and the fact that no two sporran look even remotely the same, an unusual sporran could go un-noticed.

I had thought about it except that the sporran usually has a bunch of stuff in it already, and you can't stick your hand straight in for the draw without opening the flap first. And unless you have a Buzz Kidder sporran with a fantastic magnetic closure, that will rob several precious seconds.

Not necessarily. It depends on how the pistol pocket is designed.

In working on a sporran holster design, I'm taking into consideration several different methods used in fanny pack holsters, and a couple of purse holsters that are already on the market.

I've carried in a "fannypack" style holster for years. I'd love to see someone come up with a sporran version of it. But I do want to point out that you don't carry with that sort of rig for a speed draw. In fact, none of the options discussed would have much option for speed. Nor is it needed. Concealability is. I could go on for pages about weapon theory, and will if anyone wants to contact me off list...
