admittedly....I tend to think in a "Gun Culture" frame of mind, but I have yet to meet a photographer that actually wears a "photographers vest".
to me (and maybe others can chime in here)
Photographer vest on someone in Texas = gun
fanny pack on someone wearing jeans that already have pockets = gun
Guy in jeans and a "Magnum P.I. shirt eating nacho's at Wal Mart = gun
heck, I just assume that everyone is carrying and go about my business. I work in Northside, just down the hill from the courthouse in Ft. Worth.....EVERYONE IS CARRYING around here!!

Nah...no need to buy G-Wear! The only thing that really needed to be changed in my case was my gunbelt. I got a belt with a couple of extra inches so that I could let it out 2 holes from my "normal" spot when i drop my IWB in.
I'm 6'2" 215, wear Wranglers and Polo type shirts most of the time. The belt was the only thing that needed changing in my case. My jeans will give a little to allow for my SIG, and XL shirts cover it just fine without looking sloppy. Looking "squared away" never hurts in case of an LEO encounter either ;)
I have never given a serious run at wearing an OWB, but I'm sure it would take a little more shirt (or one of those "HEY I'VE GOT A GUN!!!" vests) to effectively cover your firearm.

Milt Sparks Versa-Max II
It is the best holster I have owned....hands down. I have tried M. Rosen, Kramer, Alessi....and many other "top tier" makers....Sparks gets my vote!
It takes a while to get used to an IWB, but for me anyway, it beats an OWB by a mile. I can wear it with slacks, jeans, or even shorts and a T-Shirt (or tank top!), and people are oblivious to the fact that I'm carrying.
