    CCW holsters for when it's hot as hell?

    Where I am at will be changing its CCW regs and allowing non-natives to get ccw permits. Which is awesome but I have no idea what I am going to do for a holster. It is hot as balls here and my daily dress is board shorts with either a single pocket or with a normal pocket layout, a t-shirt or tank top and sandals. I am 6' and hover between 215-220lbs with a 34 inch waist. Possible guns are glock g26, sig m11-a1/229, or a keltec pf-9. I am leaning toward the keltec due to size but would prefer the sig or glock.

    Really the sig would be ideal since I can open carry it while hiking for hogs and feral dogs, and I have the most trigger time with it since it's twin brother is my work gun.

    I am hoping you guys know of some magic holster that will save me.

    Something IWB with 2 spaced belt clips and a leather backing is what I'd recommend. like the Crossbreed, or the Alien holsters I saw mentioned here, I use a Texas Heritage by Tucker Gun Leather, but less expensive options have been showing up the past few years.

    This guy makes some great holsters. The horse hide backing is great for hot weather use.

    I live in the jungle myself and carry using a galco lite shoulder holster over a light t-shirt and under a light un-buttoned button up. Works great in shorts weather.

    This system did me fine all last summer. Wearing the button up seems like it would be a bigger pain than it is. I use light enough shirts that it doesn't make a big difference.

    This is my summer rig as well. I use a Galco "Miami Special" and Carry a SIG 9MM.
    If you don't like cops, the next time you need help, call a dope smoker.

    That sounds like a really good idea, I have some casual light button ups that I wear anyway. Completely forgot about shoulder rigs. Thanks man I will check those out tonight when I get off work.

    Ive used those cheap ass uncle mikes IWBs for my sub-compact glocks and snubbies. I wouldn't do cartwheels with it but they work.
