Return to “Question from newbie (Large handgun)”
Hey, Chris, you might take a look at The Beltman. I have used one for quite awhile and it has been the best belt I have ever had. You will be surprised at the difference a good gun belt will make in comfort and concealing.Coffeyc wrote:Thanks for all the help. After my next gig I will be ordering the MTAC holster by Comp-Tac. Does anybody have any reccomendations on a belt, or do I need to just get a real thick nice belt.
Thanks again for the help and the warm welcomes.
Chris
I am 5'8" 140 and carry a Colt 1911 every day, all day. Your answer to conceal carry is highlighted in red above...buy the best you can afford, it can not be emphasize enough, a quality belt and a quality holster is imperative!longtooth wrote:The 96 is a little larger than a full size 1911 but there are many of us that carry one. There are also those that carry a pretty large revolver. I often carry a Ruger GP100. Others carry the same size.
You do not have to be a big man to conceal a big gun. You do need real quality gear. A GOOD gunbelt & good quality holster are imperrative to concealing a large frame hand gun.Check out the holster resourse under the Day To Day forum here.
Ask others that may carry that gun what they think about a holster you choose. You may need to change the way you dress some too. Remember this. You must dress around your gun. You cannot gun around your dress.
