we talk about issues we've run into while carrying and offer advice
>go to see a movie with friends at the theatre
>aurora shooting had happened just the past month
>bring the trusty glock 19 in an IWB holster, just in case
>cant get comfortable at all, shift in my seat the whole time trying to find a comfortable position that still gives me access to my gun
>friends ask whats wrong, tell them I have gas
>GF knew I was carrying, the other two didn't and I didn't know howd they'd handle it
>so frustrated I didn't even pay attention to the movie and spent the whole time thinking of how to fix this
I thought about going for a single stack next time, or trying a shoulder holster or maybe even an ankle holster if im sitting like that for long periods
>>28006347
What movie did you go see
>>28006347
What belt?
>>28006361
the dark knight
>>28006347
I find moving from 4 o'clock to 3 with a slight forward cant is far more comfortable when I know I will be seated for long periods.
>>28006347
yeah shoulder rigs are pretty awesome.
comfy and accessable sitting or standing, fast to put on and take off, and can hide some pretty big fucking guns.
only downside:
>hey anon why not take your jacket off aren't you hot?
>no shut up.
>>28006347
I've never liked the idea of an ankle holster, heard of people kicking them off and scraping their gun all up... Plus you know you look like a dingus..
Shoulder holsters are nice in winter, and comfortable.
> Me personally i like a compact single stack IWB..
>>28006403
just a regular belt, pic related sort of set up
>>28006443
That won't work. You need a carry belt. If your belt isn't as stiff as possible your carry experience will suck balls.
I use an SOE EDC belt without velcro, and it was the single best carry purchase I ever made. Look into getting a carry belt.
>>28006479
This man speaks truth.
Also accept that there will be times that you have less easy access to your gun. It happens with almost every carry position.
>>28006479
+1 I switched to a Comp-Tac reinforced belt a couple years ago and it makes a huge difference in comfort, especially if I am feeling froggy enough to carry a heavier gun like my 1911 that day.
>>28006479
>Justifying spending $150+ on a fucking belt
Sure, anon
>Glock 26 in a Tagua holster 4-oclock-ish IWB with a walmart-tier dress belt, every day all day, no problems

i always wondered what shoulder carriers have to do when they need to take of there jacket , just not taking it off?
must suck when ya gotta lift something heavy
>>28006540
Just because you're a poorfag and clueless doesn't make them wrong.
>>28006540
You have no idea what you're missing.
You don't need to spend 150$ on a belt, but getting one designed for carry makes it so much easier to keep a load, especially if it's a heavier Glock 19.
>>28006556
yeah kinda.
if I absolutely have to take it off for something I just make a head call and remove both the jacket and holster then.
anything but appendix carry is pleb like in this real life video seen here:

Probably the best thread to ask this,
What would be the most comfortable Carry Holster for a Sig P226 (Railed)? IWB or OWB doesn't matter.
Generally speaking, can i OC with an IWB Holster?
As payment here is my favorite Dugan .gif
>>28006540
Nigga the belt is as important as the holster. Also, I got mine for about $40 bucks on amazon you heeb.
>>28006686
>Most comfortable carry holster for X gun
That's really up to your own personal taste and what you find to fit your body the best.
>can i OC with an IWB Holster?
Yes
>>28006347
>g19 IWB
Well there's your problem. You either Ned a smaller gun or a better belt.
>>28006479
Loop your belt and hold it parallel to the floor. If it bends, its unsuitable for carry.
>>28006686
Comfort entails different things for different people and what the do all day.
I work as desk job in casual business attire and prefer smaller hybrid holsters like the MTAC and Mini-tuck at 3 o'clock if I am untucked, or 4 o'clock if I am tucked.
If you spend all day in a vehicle then cross draw or appendix will likely be your go-to.
I prefer my NAA mini pug revolver for my never-be-unarmed gun. Otherwise my cz82 in a pancake uncle mike's more than my kydex hybrids with matching mag carrier. My two cents...
>>28006730
Well, right now i've got a Galco Yaqui Paddle Holster and its just in the way. Not a big fan of it and i understand it varies from person to person but i want to have a starting point.
What brands would you recommend?

>>28006556
>i always wondered what shoulder carriers have to do when they need to take of there jacket , just not taking it off?
I just take it off. Whatever, I'm open carrying now until I put my jacket back on.
>OH MAH GAWD A GUNNN
>Yes, and?
Obviously not an option if OC isn't legal in your area.
>>28006798
I dunno, just go to your LGS with your gun (preferably no mag, slide locked open, where the clerk can see it) and ask to try on a couple holsters and see which one you like best.
They should be more than happy to help and let you try a bunch on, but be aware you'll have to end up buying one or you'll be "that guy who tried on holsters and left"

How do people generally react to open carrying?
I've never seen it happening here, and I live in rural Missouri.
Been considering shoulder carry, because I don't care for belts too much. Though I usually wear baggy clothes.
Does anyone carry in the front? I think that would be a nice place to carry at, like above the joint where the thigh meets the pelvis.
Do they make holsters that just clip on or is that an unreasonable expectation?
>>28006798
Ayy, Polandball.
The first time I saw this, I didn't get it due to my blood burger content.

You get lots of looks but people really don't care. I'm a retired vet and people notice I only have one eye and my partially burned face before they notice my gun.

Anyone appreciating the Polandball, or should I just stop?
>>28006443
The belt really will make a difference. You can go a cheaper route than that other foolishness though. A Blackhawk CQB or any other fairly stiff belt will do much better than a normal belt and won't break the bank.
You will still always find yourself in an inaccessible position from time to time though.

>Men have watches.
Not since smartphones have become ubiquitous. Watches nowadays are unnecessary jewelry since even the people wearing them often check the time on their phones.
>inb4 hipsters with the new iWatch or whatever it is
>>28007341
That's the point. A watch shows someone that you give a god damn about things. It's just classy. When I interview candidates at my company, dudebros that show up with watches will get hired over equally qualified and dressed candidates.
>>28007148
>How do people generally react to open carrying?
It depends. If you're a clean-cut guy who is going about his day while you just so happen to have a gun on you hip, then you're good to go.
If you're that one guy walking around in your Dollar General brand wifebeater while toying with the grip of your High-Point sitting in your nylon airshit holster while trying to pick up greasy chicks in the Walmart pharmacy line then you deserve all the dirty looks and nervous glances you get.
FUCK YOU, CLAUDE, NOBODY GIVES A SHIT IF YOU'RE ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, EVERYONE KNOWS ITS JUST SO YOU COULD DROP OUT OF HIGHSCHOOL AND SMOKE POT BEHIND THE PIGGLY WIGGLY!!!
>>28007373
A modern watch is literally a bracelet. Wearing it only show that you like jewelry. Like a paracord bracelet. It's not a useful thing. It's a cute accessory to go with your camo wallet.
>>28006733
? I don't get this... I carry a P229 in a Comp Tac holster at the 1 o'clock with either a 5.11 1.75" operator belt or a Dickies leather 1.5" belt with a 1.75" J hook. No problems anytime... ever...
>>28007539
And a suit is the same thing as a pair of baggy jeans and a Raiders jersey.
Do you even hear yourself right now?
>>28006347
I told you about urban carry last time dickboi, urban carry holsters the goat when it comes to comfort of movement.
>>28007539
From an unknown observer, you are what you wear. Not just your clothing, but on your wrists, and on your fingers.
Yes it is like jewelry, but jewelry is an expression of wealth and power, it doesn't matter if it is superfluous. You are displaying that you are confident in your choice to take the extra step to display you are better than the man next to you.
Especially if you deal with clients or business partners from cultural regions outside of America it is even more important. Rings other than a wedding band can become important in those circles as well.
>>28007539
>It's not a useful thing
I use it to check the time. In my opinion, pulling out your phone to check the time is at best a waste of effort, and at worst it can come off as unprofessional.
>>28007539
>A modern watch is literally a bracelet.
it's one of the only accepted forms of jewelery for men, and it also happens to tell the time. This is useful if you don't like having to dick around for your phone every minute or if your hands are full, and it has the added benefit of being a conversation starter and a cool device with a lot of history
>tfw Sig P938
Literally zero issues. Have an IWB I usually keep it in and a pocket holster for situations like OP's.
>>28006479

Yeah i'll be carrying Apendix with a Kydex Foxx holster and the holster will be digging and rubbing my skin. Even wearing an undershirt tucked in doesn't stop it from digging in. Can't wear my holster at 3oclock either because i'm a skinnyfag.
>>28007887
>it's one of the only accepted forms of jewelery for men, and it also happens to tell the time
>implying men should want to wear jewelry or spend money on it
Are you a woman or a faggot? This is an either-or question.
>>28008530
Wear leather instead of Kydex then. There is no situation where you can't take the time to look down and clear the path to the holster when you need to put the gun away.

shouldn't you be in bed? It's a functional accessory that's as gaudy or minimal as you want it to be
>>28008561
I'd go with vertical, because of the whole flagging behind you thing with horizontal holsters. They also conceal better too.
>>28006990
>>28006868
This is neat. We gun people need to support each other desu
>>28008561
I am not the person you are asking. I imagine Horizontal would be good if your gun is short, and vertical would be good if weight distribution is an issue.
If you want to think about hollywood shit, then horizontal could let you shoot a guy behind you at the ATM... I mean, if you're cool with discharging a gun next to your fucking heart.

>>28007857
To jump in to the conversation, I'd still consider the watch an edge-case when it comes to expressing style and wealth.
If your office is in love with personal technology you're more likely to see smart watches at best, while everyone else just relies on their smartphone as normal. And I'm not talking hipster style offices like Google, I mean regular businesses who recognize that a technological focus can be good for an office setting.
Or maybe it's just that I've always been more of a fan of rings.

As a guy who carries big-ass cargo pants, if I HAD to take my jacket off, I'd probably go to a bathroom, put gun in pocket or IWB and tangle the shoulder rig inside the sleeve/pocket of my jacket.

not like too heavy for me to handle but it even feels bulky in ma hand. hard to imagine i could carry it without notice and open carry is a big no-no here.
i also want the ability to put it down without anyone noticing like at work. people are not used to such sights here they would think i'm a freak.

It's a weird division of people, not sure of percentage. Maybe 50/50 split of people on whether or not they'd react negatively to it. In Texas, you'd be welcome to OC. Any more liberal states, even semi-liberal states like Ohio (I'm here) would get the cops called on you if you decided to OC legally. People just have the mentality that someone's doing something illegal if they have a gun on them.
I appendix carry, if that's what you're asking. I have balls of steel. I personally like it and feel comfortable with it, but your experience may vary. As >>28011344 said, you ARE pointing it at a major artery while carrying. But ND/injury/death can be avoided by A) having a good, quality hardshell holster specifically made for your gun, B) not unnecessarily unholstering/holstering, C) proper trigger discipline if you do need to unholster/holster, and even D) not keeping one in the chamber. A-C are the most important, D's debatable, just depends on comfort level.

Bro, if you're gonna carry a full-size revolver for CCW, it'd be very hard to do better than that. Plenty of people carry full size guns as CCW; so you have a choice between buying a cheap nylon snap-shut holster for a few months till you can go buy a smaller carry gun, or buying a nice holster so you can carry the 686 during colder months or as your mood permits.
Either way, nice gun.

Some of us need to check the time regularly; especially with certain kinds of shift work, and people who are constantly rooting around in their pocket for a phone just look like shit-flinging simians.
I've been without a watch for a while, and the absence of such is really starting to annoy me. I've been thinking about buying a nice one, not another 10 dollar POS from wal-mart, and the annoyance of doing research has kept me from going and picking one out already. At least once a day I've found myself wishing I had a goddamn watch; I think I'll help myself to a christmas sale and finally get one.

I find this to be untrue in personal experience. The last time someone asked me why I wore a watch instead of just use a phone boiled down to the fact that their battery will last 6-7 hours. My watch has been running for 20 years.
Besides. Since I work near my boss, it's far easier and less risky to sneak a glimpse at my wrist instead of pull phone out, turn on turn off, put back.
But then again, it's personal preference. I think highly of people who wear watches when I meet them.

Shoulder holster are the most comfortable holsters to wear. Wear it not directly under a jacket, unless it's the kind of jacket you can wear without looking suspicious (good example: blazer at a cocktail party, bad example: ski jacket in a cinema). A good option is to wear the shoulder holster under a cardigan. Like this, you can take of your jacket and still conceal the gun sufficiently. In summer, you can wear it directly under your shirt as pic related (shoulder holster porn movie from the 1990's) but beware of the wind.

The only reason I'd be open carrying in that scenario would be if I wanted to take my jacket off, because shoulder holster.
>>28011800
>*SWEEP ALL THOSE PEOPLE TO YOUR LEFT ZOMG*
Yeah, but they're liberals, no one cares about them.
>>28012627
>caring about the discomfort of people that can't handle seeing someone legally exercising their right to openly carry a holstered handgun
The disadvantage to open carrying is if someone is going to snap and start shooting and they're in an advantageous enough position to do it before you can notice or react, they'll probably shoot the obviously armed person first if they have any survival instinct or intelligence.
>>28006556
Could always just stick to wearing button downs.
I have a shield and a low profile leather desantis holster, pretty well broken in. I mostly carry about 4-5 o'clock. In your situation, I would have shifted it a little forward and leaned one way for the movie. If it's jacket weather I will slip it into an interior pocket and keep it within arm's reach.
>That dull metallic thunk of your CC hitting a doorframe or post in a crowded area
NOBODY HEARD SHIT
>>28010841
That's because a shoulder holster is suave as fuck
>>28011589
Only use stalls and if you absolutely have to shit, fold your underwear over the gun a bit.
>>28013631
Also, in the warmer months, I carry iwb, in a tshirt and have no cares if anyone sees. But I do stay aware of the situation. Depends on where you live, I'm in a fairly rural NE area.

This seems as good a thread for it as any...
So, as someone who rides a super sport motorcycle what's the best way to carry? I can't carry in my belt without it showing, and my leather jacket fits too tightly to actually have under the should be viable. I'm not sure if i should just say fuck it and carry in the waistband.
>pic semi related
Not exactly about carrying, but while we're talking holsters...
I want to get one for my CZ75BD for range and eventually IPDA use.
I'll pick one eventually, but nobody lists whether their mag pouches fit CZ mags or not. Does anybody know what mags are closest in size to compare to?
>>28007765
That's gay even for a faggot...
Some considerations if you live where it snows a lot: Metal and plastic shit in fancy 'button release' or lever release Safariland holsters will break and/or freeze up on you.
I rock the Galco shoulder holsters year round.
>>28011955
My reason exactly to have a watch. If you pull out a phone in a college class or during work you can get in trouble.
The college class thing is a bit stupid, but I've know at least a handful of people whom were fired for being on their phone at work.

>>28013849
Shoulder carry or small of the back, depending on your gun.Your leathers are too tight if they can't accommodate a shoulder carry. Mine fits fine and is a 1911.
>>28013844
been carrying for 15+ years. you're noguns right?
>>28014003
I always catch an insane amount of hell for mentioning it, but I boot carry my knives.
>HOHOHO GOOD LUCK GETTING IT IN AN EMERGENCY BOOTFAG LIABILITY GONNA DIE ETC
Seriously, if you need to quickdraw your knife and attack someone in the blink of an eye you have bigger problems. Knife boot is for a good tool knife. Comfortable as fuck. Inconspicuous as fuck.
>>28014043
It was a hand me down from a buddy, and I don't have the cash to buy anything that fits properly. It's all I got right now. I was considering small of the back. I guess if you manage to fit a 1911, I'll go with under the shoulder.
>carryan IWB throughout week

is this what happens when leather gets dirty? it never did this when it was new and clean
>>28014060
I've considered boot carry actually, but my issue is the size of the knife I would carry makes me personally feel uncomfortable (or at least on my leg.) Though I suppose I could look into it more now that you bring it up again.
>>28013849
no IWB, tried that once kept worrying it was going to fall out. rode Harleys mostly, used a denim vest with an uncle mikes holster pinned in inside pocket. used maxpedition belt pouches. stay away from middle of the back, you land on something like a handgun you will feel it. if you wear jeans once again a small 9 in a pocket holster works great.
>>28014063
Honestly, it probably depends on your holster. A slim profile holster with a 1911 pressed flat against your ribs isn't going to add that much thickness at all. Some holsters are generic and fuckhuge for a variety of guns though and I can see that being a problem.
>>28006540
>be poorfag

>>28014112
It'd have to be a pocket of my jacket. I can't get anything in my jean pockets without standing up.
>>28014114
I was thinking something like that. Something slim. I'll have to save up a bit to get something that'll work.
thanks for the input, guys
>>28014087
Depends on the boots and the knives, I suppose. Mine go a good bit above the ankle.
>>28014136
I also rode with a KAHR PM9 in the slash pocket of my leather jacket (bomber style jacket). you may have to go for a small pistol. one of my EDC guns for a while was a LCP.
>>28014076
Most leather products are cured and/or dyed with pretty nasty chemicals. One leather holster I bought smelled strongly of formaldehyde. I suggest you actually choose a holster from a company that doesn't use dyes that are carcinogens or irritants.
>>28014155
Boots go above ankle. Knife goes halfway up my calf.
>>28014076

I carry a Glock 19 in a Galco Kingtuk IWB holster at about 4o'clock no problem. I wear A* riding jeans which allow me to wear a belt and an A* textile jacket that fits fine even when carrying. My summer jacket is a little shorter so I tuck in my shirt around my holster and it's never been a problem.
Daily reminder if you carry in an uncle mike's holster or other cheapshit holster you are literally robbing yourself of the enjoyment of carrying. I have to remind myself that I'm carrying sometimes
surprisingly comfy

you could write a fucking book on how to use the bathroom with aiwb
when i shit i leave the belt hanging on my knees. it creates a little cave for my gun.
one time i pushed too hard while i was pissing and soaked the cave, though. so, you know. be careful.
