how do you carry - Page 2

Webleymkv · February 19, 2009, 02:23 PM

Typically OWB between 3 and 4 o'clock in either a Kramer or El Paso open top holster (depends on the gun I'm carrying). When that's not feasable, a smaller gun goes in my right front pants pocket in a Galco pocket holster.

Sparks2112 · February 19, 2009, 02:51 PM

www.comp-tac.com MTAC between 2:30 - 4:00 depending on what I'm wearing and whichever gun I happen to be carrying. Mostly full or + size glocks, though I just got an amazing trigger job on my M&P 9, so it'll be seeing some rotation now as well.

Out of curiosity, and this is an honest to god question. What harm could posting your mode of carry on an internet board do? Not trying to start anything (though I'm sure it will) but I can't think of even a far-fetched scenario where it might matter...

Used to be mostly IWB. But as I've gotten older and lazier, its almost always pocket, now.

However, when I'm hiking/camping I carry a .45 in my pocket...

IWB at 2 o'clock position in warm weather.

OWB at 4 o'clock in the cooler months.

I use a Bianchi IWB holster similar to the one in the pic, except mine is for a Ruger SP101. I carry between 2 and 3 o'clock. This position combines the most comfort with ultimate concealability (is that a word?). With my shirt over it, it just disappears.

galco shoulder rig with 4in 686 and fobus paddle with same gun. depends on were i am going and what i am wearing.

I'm most comfortable with OWB, crossdraw at 10 o'clock. Been doin' that since the 80's. I've found that during any confrontation I naturally cross my arms at waist level which just accidentally puts my right hand on the but of whatever I'm carrying. It looks natural, gets me into a defensive ready position and doesn't scream "GUN'.

M&P 40 or 40c, AIWB in a Raven Concepts Appendix Carry Rig

I'd like to try the crossbreed supertuck if it'll fit a G29. (not a standard size despite that most people simply think "subcompact Glock")

If they don't list the 29, but list the 30, you can use that. Only difference is in height. The grip on the 29 is shorter by a bit. They even weigh the same loaded.

I carry IWB, OWB, shoulder, pocket, and I'm thinking about getting an ankle holster.

Anyone try the "Kangaroo" shoulder holster?

http://www.gunblast.com/Kangaroo.htm

I can't wear a belt, and I sweat a lot if I can't take off my jacket. A traditional shoulder holster will show through a button-down and usually needs to be tied to a belt anyway. I'd really like to move away from mouse gun pocket-carry, but without a belt, I think a shoulder holster is my only open, and thick leather and stiff nylon show up under my shirts. I have an Uncle Mike's nylon shoulder rig that I guess just doesn't fit right -- the arm-hole straps and the connector between them all just refuse to lay flat, and look very conspicuous through even a heavy shirt.

I use a Desantis belly-band for that. Works great for those applications, but naturally, not quick-draw.

Quincunx · March 2, 2009, 04:22 PM

Always OWB. Just more comfortable for me. Prefer a boring old pancake holster of one variety or another; Bianchi 7/7L's for the 4516-1 and the Colt Delta, and an A.E. Nelson for the Commander.

KnightZero · March 3, 2009, 10:18 AM

Daily carry is my Taurus PT140 Pro in a Crossbreed Supertuck. On the weekends, I will occasionally switch the Crossbreed out for my High Noon OWB holster, or switch the gun for my XD, and carry in the provided XDGear holster.

I really want to try a shoulder rig for the XD in the future.

Claims Rep. · March 3, 2009, 11:31 PM

Beretta 92FS in a Milt Sparks VM2 IWB.

All of the above. Depends on where I'm going and what I plan on doing.
