I'm 6' tall and very thin so there is nowhere at the belt to put a gun and not have it print in summertime clothes (or look like I have a giant tumor).

So in the summer I carry a Smith M&P 38/357 in my cargo shorts pocket, and in the winter I use an ankle holster or jacket pocket. As long as I wear straight-leg or boot-leg pants it doesn't print with the ankle holster. I keep the Smith loaded with 3 rounds of Corbon DPX 38 followed by 2 rounds of 357 magnum.

But my preferred way to carry is in a shoulder bag. The one I use is a thin rectangle-shape (as opposed to a fat camera bag or pouch shape), and i wear it on one shoulder or cross-shoulder. It's made of a black tech-fabric and looks very utilitarian. This fits my FN Five-Seven perfectly. 20 rounds of near rifle-velocity firepower (with 40 more in 2 spare mags in the slim side pocket). The Five-Seven has virtually no recoil, a single-action/light trigger, and is incredibly easy to shoot. Closest analogy to shooting it would be a heavy revolver shot single-action. If you've ever shot a full-size steel 45 Colt in single action mode, it's like that. Plus it's light. Very light. Factory rounds for this gun can put a nice finger-sized protrusion in a phycho's body armor, and other manufacturers high-power ammo will do worse and/or penetrate the armor. I think this is the best setup for repelling a well-planned and prepared attacker. Might as well just hit them with any other handgun if they have body armor or hope against hope for a headshot. I was fortunate enough to find my Five-Seven used but unfired for several hundred less than new.
