Have you considered an ankle holster? It is not the best carry method, and it is a slower draw. But given the issues with your back it might be a workable solution. Would that work for you given your back problems?

Would probably work. Can lift my leg or go down on one knee.

Valid suggestion. While I'm not a big proponent of ankle carry as a primary, better than not having anything at all.

In all honesty a Ruger LCR in .357, pocket carry. I am NOT a fan of pocket carry, so maybe same gun, different method. The LCR's weigh nothing, and I would carry .357 any day. They are also putting out a 9mm LCR now.

I was scoping out the Ruger LCR in 9mm a few weeks back. Nice pistol. I wonder when the shops are going to start carrying them. I am really drawn to the 938. Nice thin profile and SA trigger. I think the LCR is wider, but still easy to CCW.

When I go home I am going to play with a pair of suspenders and my IWB holster like suggested. See how carrying that weight feels. I really would like to carry my RIA officers 1911, but I don't think suspenders are going to hold my drawers up, but worth a try! then I'll try the Galco shoulder holster my buddy has to rule that out. I guess the first step is to see if I can conceal them period, and if it's at all comfortable. There may be a chance I am going to print no matter what with my current pistols and may have to go to a smaller pistol.

I'm not a big fan of pocket pistols either, thats why I was looking at a few that have bigger gun characteristics like the LC9, P938, and Kahr CM9 and PM9.

Thanks. I don't have any issues concealing the 938. It's very small and 9mm. Anything on the waist is just not an option right now.

Default Getting CCW and need advide on Holster Pistol Setup

I was ordering one of these for my 1911s around the house and under a jacket. Initially I was looking at a Guides Choice, but that was half the price. Curious, I sent them a message about my situation. He replied saying they could make a holster for my 938 in this style, but use the leather from their Agent line that would mold better for less printing. So I ordered 2 in this configuration, but in black. One for my 1911 and one for my 938. I will still probably order the X400 eventually.

A little update. I ended up ordering a Kirkpatrick X400. The Panther Creek holsters fell through. I should be receiving the X400 any day now.
Meantime I am doing a lot better with my back. I'm finally able to take care of my lawn again amongst other things, and it's great to feel alive again. I've been able to wear belts finally, so I ordered a Kydex holster from Cooks Holsters for my Sig 938. Everyone needs options right? This holster is great and I love it. I've been able to wear it all day, it's super comfortable, and built really well. Clicks securely in place and disappears. It took about 5 weeks and I am very happy.

I will try and get some pictures up as soon as possible.
