TL;DR- Please advise on either a pocket carry or really easy to conceal belt gun for summer carry/t shirt and basketball shorts/ other light wear.

I live in Alabama, and it’s hotter than hell here a good bit of the year, especially during the summer.

I currently carry my first pistol, which I got earlier this year- a CZ P01. I love this gun, and am able to hit good groups with it (albeit a little left of where I’m aiming it) but the size of the grip makes it print very bad when wearing anything other than hawaiian shirts.

Granted, I wear Hawaiian shirts a good bit of the time, but sometimes I just want to throw on a T shirt and basketball shorts and go to walmart to pick up a few things. (I can wear my CZ p01 with this outfit, but again, it prints like crazy and is hard to conceal).

I am currently looking at pocket carry options, such as a SW 442, Charter Arms Undercover, Glock 42, LCP Max, etc. I have handled a 442, Glock 42, and an LCP max and like the feel of all of those, but I imagine the shootability of the Max and the 442 maybe a little rough.

Any input at all on these options, or anything else? I would prefer as good of a value as possible, and am willing to consider outside of pocket carry, such as subcompact, slim revolvers/automatics, as long as they conceal well under a t shirt and shorts.

Thanks in advance!

    LCP Max and LCP II are the ideal .380 choices. I generally am biased against Sig, but I own a P365 and truly think it’s the best 9mm subcompact. Hold one side-by-side with any other subcompact 9mm and it basically matches the profile of a single-stack with the capacity of a double-stack.

    So I’d say choose between those 3.
