That's what I did too and it's soooo much more comfortable I wish I'd done that years ago, CHL or not.Carry Big Stick wrote:My solution to the wallet problem when it hit me was to switch to a front pocket wallet. It holds my 3 bank cards/credit cards and my DL and CHL plus a few business cards. I hardly carry more than $20 in cash so the magnetic money clip works okay. Just figured I would throw that one out there too.

Re: new to carry observations
Shirts
Interestingly when I was sitting down to read this, and I didn't have a shirt on, UPS just pulled up to deliver my new shirts from J.C. Penneys big and TALL shop (a couple 3 inches longer than normal) and the UPS guy noticed my Diamondback DB380 and we talked guns and shirts, since I was shirtless and he was delivering shirts and I was carrying in the house..
I have lots of Guaybara shirts, that are long enough, but ordered TALL colored T-shirts for summer, they were on sale for $9.99 down from $29.99 each. I always preferred TALL shirts anyway, they stay tucked in better with more tail, and more material to blouse/bloom out around the waist to conceal better since they are about 2 or 3 inches longer..
Wallets
One thing I did change was instead of a fat wallet with everything in it in one pocket, was a money clip for smaller bills, and a thin wallet for ID/Credit Cards and bigger denomination bills....
My dad always carried 2 wallets ...
Then if held up, a person could hand over the money clip (not the ID and credit cards) and say "OK, I gave you my money, you want my Gold now?" (Gold Dots or Magtech Guardian Gold +P ?... take your pick)
Yesterday, I donated a lot of old short shirts that shrunk and wouldn't stay tucked in, or conceal well, to an organization that will get them to people who need them more than I do; I cleaned out my closets.
And yep, I had that talk with my niece and sister-in-law that I carry them to school/freinds/grocery shopping etc sometimes.
