I like to read the gun mags and dream about what I would carry if we had CCW's here. I like that new mini Walther. a 8 shot 9mm the size of the PPK.
I also share a similar taste as Leatherface ,we like the nifty eastern block pocket autos like the Makarovs. I probably would not bother with a handgun n my person though. Something in the truck would be fine. I would probably do better with a knife ayway because I have practised a lot more with one.
The problem of carrying big heavy usually long weapons and gear has been a problem for as long as their has been blades. In both ancient Japan and England people were always tripping over their swords or getting them stuck when they desperately needed them. I have known people who had their pistol tucked in their pants and dropped it in the toilet. I pocked a hole in the beautiful Honda racing seats of my Mom's Civic SIR with the end of my CRKT First strike handle while it was on my belt. Every year hunters lean their shotties against a fance and climb over and mange to shoot themselves. The Strider neck knife I had around my neck fell out of the sheath and on to the floor with a huge noise in line at the grocery store making me look like a maniac.
So far there has been no definitive answer to a way to carry a knife or gun particularly a large one comfortably. Pretty much any belt carry does not work in a car. Bud Nealy and others have tried to find solutions but if you can figure out a really good one you will make some serious cash. I would be first in line.
I pretty much gave up and carry my knives in or strapped to a backpack and a very small neck knife on my person.
