How do you carry it? - Page 5

APLP · 12-12-2009, 03:16

Inside the wasteband for concealed carry with 4 inch or longer barrels with left handed folder in front left or rear left pockets, strong side, no holster, with Kramer double horsehide belt through pant belt loops.

I don't carry handcuffs and am not worried about a quick one handed reholster. Drawer full of Mitch Rosen, assorted Kydex, Milt Sparks, Kramer and custom holsters but Mexican carry works just fine for my build.

I dress around which ever concealed handgun I carry in accordance with climate or social occasion.

With the full sized 40, weak side, inside the pants cross draw. With the 357 titanium, in a FOBUS on the strong side hip. GROG

Comp-tac minotaur for IWB concealment of my 1911 during the warmer months. Galco Yaqui Paddle Holster for when I wear an over garment. I've never had a problem drawing the holster but I'll probably move to something like a Bianchi Minimalist. I also have a Serpa i never use.

+1 on the Comp Tac. I use the CTAC myself as the MTAC or Minatuor models have the leather which makes it hot in the summer time for myself. I personally am not bothered by the kydex only.

For fullsized guns I like phantom belt holsters OWB. You can have it IWB but the comp tac holsters are a smoother draw.

Now if I could just stop guys I know from carrying with their pistols stuck in their belt with the muzzle in their rear pocket. It's like amateur hour 2009, especially for people that know better. At least buy a $4 uncle mikes please.

Strong side hip, and after 11-29-09 I always carry. I live in Kent Wa. and we have had 6 Police Officers targeted and 5 killed in the last 2 months.

Strong side hip for fullsize, always. Strong side pocket when carrying the subcompacts. Sometimes back pocket for the small .380's, if that's all I can carry for whatever reason.

IWB right hand side under most circumstances, OWB right side if carrying with taclight mounted. USP .45 T.

Strong side hip for the Primary...

"Angry Cricket" (kel-tec) in a pocket holster in the off hand side pocket. Alot is to be said for carrying a back-up in the off-hand side pocket. I have found myself with my hand on that little guy, and still looking completely casual and relaxed. No draw technique in the world is faster than having your gun already in your hand (even if it is just your back-up) if trouble looks imminent.

On another note, having the back-up on the off-hand side could come in handy if your strong side hand is injured/tackled to the ground/pressed against a car door/etc. Just a thought.

Very well said. That's exactly what I teach.

Flying in the AH-64 I had an Uncle Mikes shoulder rig. It fit great through the left shoulder opening of the survival vest. It was perfect for the .38 peashooter. (Yes I know how long ago that was) When we were issued the M-9 I was still able to use the same UM.

When I hunt in the Low Country I use the same holster toting a Taurus .22 revolver loaded with snake shot for obvious reasons. Hate snakes.

Mostly I carry a Glock 19 strong side hip in a Galco leather holster. Otherwise it is carried in my day pack or my computer bag in a cool little holster velcroed to an inside pocket.

Me, a G23, either in a bag or appendix carry. I switch between two holsters, both self made - Kydex and a leather belt slide. Both holster designs are adequate, but there are some tweaks I'll do when I make myself new ones (definitely high on my to-do list). Also still searching for the right bag.

The only thing I really don't like about appendix carry is having the muzzle pointing at my thigh/junk. Presentation of the gun for me seems faster than strong side hip, and it's easier to get at when seated. I may switch back to strong side hip, though.

I'd really prefer a thigh rig, but that's way to high profile for a civilian like me. I don't want or need the attention.

If I'm carrying my S&W .40 I'll carry on my strong side hip or inside my waste band. If I am carrying my Kel-Tec .32, which I carry more often due to it's small size, I'll just put it in my pants pocket.

I carry my M&P compact .40 IWB on my right hip in the vicinity of 4 o'clock and my Kel Tec P-3AT in my left front pocket. I have found that while in my truck the Kel Tec has become my primary because I can slip it between my left leg and the seat. This makes it more accessible than the M&P in the center console.

I carry on the strong side at 7. In line with my wallet. I carry a full size H&K USP .45. I will carry it in my Kramer holster when it arrives...(must be good quality, ordered it on Nov 17th, will ship end of this month)

When in the vehicle, I travel with a double barrel .410 pistol in the center console.
