Handgun Carriers

MisterSkiMask · 10-30-2013, 09:53 AM

How do you do it? IWB, Appendix, SOB, 5 o'clock, pocket etc

What have you tried?

What do you carry?

What holster do you use?

MidwestGolfBum · 10-30-2013, 10:17 AM

I'm guessing your talking about concealed or open carry?

Concealed I carry IWB at about 3 with a Clevelands Holster has the kydex fit for my XDs (assuming I ever get the damn thing back) or my EMP depending on the day. I have never really tried much else given that I have always been happy with the holsters.

That's what I assumed you meant, which is why I answered the way I did, but didn't want to throw the whole thread off by answering in a way that you weren't looking for.

How do you carry?

Foxrus14 · 10-30-2013, 10:38 AM

S&W 642 Airlite... 38 +P .357 is my carry round... on my hip or Small of back

Billup · 10-30-2013, 10:48 AM

I've been wearing them around the house, my shop, and training classes. So far I like appendix with the G19. I have a new Crossbreed appendix holster on its way (just got the 'it shipped' email) that will fit the G19 or G26. If I had 5 - 10 pounds less belly I don't think I would even notice the G19 when I sat down.

As I type this I have a loaded gun with the muzzle about an inch away from my junk...something to get used to....

But its the only way I feel like I am completely concealed.

Walther PPS 9mm. IWB Pro Carry holster.

kevinbahnz · 10-30-2013, 12:05 PM

deep conceal shoulder for my beretta nano. I used to carry inside my waistband but i've put on a few inches around my belly.

kingofthedemo · 10-30-2013, 12:41 PM

99% of the time I pocket carry, usually the s&w bodyguard .380 in a desantis pocket holster. On rare occasions i will open carry my G17 in a blackhawk holster. Sometimes I will carry the kimber ultra in an otw holster with my shirt untucked and concealing it. I often keep either my USP or G17 in the glove box, even though I usually pocket carry; I prefer to at least have a full size gun in the car. When I'm in the woods I carry the S&W TRR8, it's nice to have a big revolver when you are out in the wilderness.

Mr Tonka · 10-30-2013, 05:47 PM

Right side, right behind the hip, IWB for the S&W shield.

Same spot OWB for the G23

Have a few holster options coming for the Shield. Will report back.... can't remember what i ordered.

Sedan_Clan · 10-30-2013, 06:07 PM

On duty...on my hip.......off duty, it depends on what I'm wearing. Sometimes I'm in workout clothing, so I just leave it in the car.

franklin455 · 10-30-2013, 08:09 PM

Walther PPS in a CompTac MTAC holster at 5 o'clock. Winchester Ranger 124 gr +P+ HP's.

I've carried my Glock 19 and Sig P228, but the PPS is in a different league. Almost forget I'm wearing it.

Forgot you are in the Peoples Republic, don't even remember how long getting that permit takes there.

I tried appendix, and it was just never comfortable to me; drawing was never as comfortable for me. At just before 3 on my hip, I have almost no printing with the EMP and none at all with the XDs.

Small waist/belt holster for my compact Springfield XD

f10inSD · 11-06-2013, 12:57 AM

Glock 26 inside the waist band .

Ruger LCP pocket holster.

MisterSkiMask · 11-07-2013, 10:07 AM

So, I got the Crossbreed Appendix holster, and I'm wearing it around the shop today. It is very comfortable. The clip is a bit annoying, you have to move your belt buckle off center, but that has to be covered anyway.

Mr Tonka · 11-07-2013, 12:39 PM

I've got a couple of crossbreeds coming. They're pretty well backed up so it's taking an extra week or so to get them produced.

Hope mine are comfy too!
