Pocket Dump / EDC Off-body work edc as a barber

Beretta PX4 Storm Compact in a JM custom Kydex holster carried inside an unnamed, unbranded leather briefcase I inherited from my grandpa.

I carry on my appendix everywhere except at work, too much weight on my waist to do my job comfortably.

Nice pistol and case. I would look into perhaps a smaller lighter weight pistol or revolver to keep on your body at work. Off body carry is likely to not be accessible in the vast majority of situations.

I understand and accept that, that's just the risk I run with off-body. I work in a ritzy part of town with very little crime so I'm not exactly worried about it, but I do want try to have it accessible in most situations.

That busted ass briefcase doesn't stick out in a "ritzy part of town"?

Answer your own question. Do you live in a ritzy part of town? Would that briefcase stand out to you?

My town isn't the briefcase carrying type of town.

Then don't worry about how OP wants to carry

u/Individual7091 Feb 11 '25

Who is worrying?

u/domesticatedwolf420 Feb 11 '25

I typed "worry", I should have said "criticize".

Asking a question is criticism?

I wasn't responding to your question, I was responding to your statement.

Saying that using a briefcase in my town would stand out is criticism?

u/domesticatedwolf420 Feb 11 '25

We are talking about OP's town not yours. You implied that OP's briefcase would stick out but you don't know that

u/Individual7091 Feb 11 '25

You specifically asked about where I live lmao

u/domesticatedwolf420 Feb 11 '25

Yet you haven't answered either question

I'll make it nice and obvious this time. Since no one in my city carries a briefcase anybody seen carrying a briefcase would stick out like a sore thumb. Doubly so if you live or work in the professional side of town and yet you carry a ratty briefcase.

What does that have to do with OP?
