Best CCW for hot weather?
Summer is coming and my CZ P-01 in a Bravo Concealment IWB isn't cutting it with lighter clothing. Prints in a tee.
Thinking about a Springfield Hellcat or going appendix. What do you carry when it's hot?

G43X all day long. Perfect summer gun - thin as hell and 15+1 with the Shield mags. I run mine in a Vedder LightTuck AIWB and it disappears under a t-shirt. Your CZ is a great gun but yeah, it's chunky for summer carry.
AIWB is the way to go imo. Carried strong side for 22 years on the job but once I retired and went to civilian carry, appendix changed everything. Less printing, faster draw. That Hellcat's a solid choice - had several students qualify with them. Just make sure you train the draw stroke, it's different than IWB at 4 o'clock.
Hot weather carry is tough! I switched to a Sig P365 last summer and never looked back. Way easier to conceal in summer clothes. AIWB works great if you get a good holster - I use a Tier1 Concealed Axis Elite. Takes some getting used to but the concealment is unbeatable. Also consider a belly band for those super light sundresses - been teaching that in my women's classes and it works.
Agree 100%. Had the exact same experience with my setup.
Thanks for sharing. Been lurking for a while and this finally made me want to comment.

I run a similar setup and it's been flawless. Good choice.
