Nice idea. I just wonder about appendix carry. Might be tough to sit in a car with a G19 stashed there. Or is it?

I'm working on removing a bit of a gut so appendix carry isn't feasible for me at the moment. But as I stated previously, carrying OWB at the 2 oclock position works great for me.(12 being belly button, 3 right hip, 6 small of back for anyone who's wondering why the heck I keep talking about the time)

I have no trouble with my G19 there. If I'm driving for several hours I normally pocket carry a revolver with the G19 or Sig in the console because its more comfortable, but for driving around town 2 o clock OWB isn't bad at all for me.

Oh, my. The carry position in that vid is not technically what I would consider "appendix" carry. lol

I wouldn't carry there either, but its the best video I could find that showed pulling the holster back out to reholster it before putting it in your pants.

Transplant wrote: That Zero Concealment one has a warning that says you shouldn't holster it while the gun is loaded? I'll pass on that. The Tagua looks good. I've been carrying my LC9 OWB and really like it, except for the safety that digs into my side on that one.

Saw that too but I think its just lawyer speak.

I think what they're trying to say is you shouldn't try to reholster with it is attached to your belt still, which makes sense to me since its designed for appendix carry (though it can be adjusted and carried other places too, I'll probably carry it at 2 just like I do OWB). I have zero interest in shoving a loaded gun down the front of my pants with no holster.

Here's a video that shows how to reholster after the draw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrAqs4MGBjI

The draw from concealment and reholstering starts around 8:40.

Any time you put a loaded gun into a holster (especially a Glock) you should be careful. Just don't try to reholster in a minimalist holster while its in your pants and you'll be fine.

The only holster I currently own for my Glock 19 is a leather OWB holster from Tagua.

Its comfortable and easy to conceal, even in cargo shorts and t shirts (my usual mode of dress). I carry it at 2 o clock position, not quite appendix and not directly on my side.

I am thinking about picking up a "minimalist" holster as well from Zero Concealment systems to try out since that would let me tuck in a shirt.

Reason I'm picking the ZCS over the Raven (the minimalist holster most people use/think of) is because they also offer one for my Sig Sauer SP2022. 40 bucks plus 7 shipping for 2 holsters isn't bad at all, especially since that Sig is a pain to find holsters for.


In short, I think a Glock 19 is easy to conceal and light to carry. I love mine.
