This is a pretty interesting situation . . .

Take this with a big rock of sodium chloride, since I do not wear overalls and never have. And perhaps some of these ideas have already been mentally considered and discarded. But just to push along the discussion further, and to get the ideas in the open, here is a brief brainstorming:

1. ankle holsters
2. pocket carry (pocket might not be large enough; use a rag or hankerchief to help conceal it)
3. SmartCarry, Thunderwear (success may vary with physique and cut of overalls)
4. use a belly band or holster shirt worn under a loose-fitting button-down or snap-front shirt
5. sew a holster-type pocket behind the chest/abdomen area of the overalls (again, you have to work with your physique and the cut of the overalls)

None of these will be as fast as a strong-side hip or appendix-carry holster on a sturdy belt, but these are better options than leaving your gun locked in your desk, toolbox or vehicle. Also, some of these ideas may work better with a backup-type gun (think Kel-Tec or snubnose wheelgun), as opposed to a Glock 17, full size 1911, or whatever is your usual orientation.
