ideas for concealed carry
« on: February 25, 2013, 08:12:29 AM »
ok. i'm finally getting my CWP and was wondering what's the most comfortable way to carry concealed.  so I need ideas to try. before I buy a holster.  i'm going to be carrying a makarov pistol most of the time. how do you guys carry and what type of holster?  thanks

Belly band with my 45.  On my back some times, right side low some times and under left arm up high other times.  All depends on how I am sitting, where I am sitting and if I feel I need to get it rather quickly or if I have a few seconds to go higher under my over clothing.

With my .380 I use a belt holster. When I carry my .45 acp  it all depends on what mood I'm in. Sometimes I'll use a shoulder holster, sometimes I'll use a belt.

.40 cal IWB at about 4 o'clock. With my Crossbreed I can hardly tell I'm carrying anything!  On the hip if I'm tromping through the woods.

I have a kimber CDP that I carry in the Kidney Carry Yaqui sytle paddle holster.  If your new to concealed carry, try several different styles of gun and holster.  Everyone is different and finding your "fit" can take a little time and expense, however, it is worth it when you get everything right.

Sig P229 in a Blackhawk SERPA and a jacket or shirt if that... As I have said before, 99% of the time I open carry, but in the winter I wear jackets a lot, so I generally will cover up because it's just a hassle to open carry with a jacket.

No matter what you get through, it will be uncomfortable at first... Give it time, and if you find yourself doing the "its uncomfortable, I'm not going to take it today..." its time for a new holster. Just remember, it's not supposed to be comfortable, it's supposed to be comforting. Like most everyone else that carries, you will end up with a favorite, several specialty holsters (for different manners of dress or concealment) a box of stuff that just didn't work out for you.

xd with a paddle holster fits nice for me, with the right positoning you can cover it with a long hoodie. i also had a de santis leather belt holster for it, but it wasnt real comfortable when in the truck.
