Many Holsters

#1

Post by dwhitley »

Well I have been trying different holsters and still have come back to the SOB for my Glock and Springfield. I have about 10 different ones now, and I bought the gun belt all that stuff... but just seems hard to not print with it on my side, 2, 4. But the funny thing is when I wear them and try them out for a day or so, no one even notices I know its there but its like people really dont pay attention though I know the LEO would see it printing I am sure. Any thoughts about the best way to carry..D
Thanks David

I guess it depends on what you're wearing and the type of holster you have. I work out of my home and don't have to worry about business dress, so I wear loose, but not baggy, polo shirts everywhere and use a holster similar to a Milt VM2 because it's flatter than the kind with the loops stacked on top of the holster. I carry a G19 around 3:30 and never have a problem with printing. Of course, our body types are probably different. I'm more on the round side. So YMMV.

Yes, everyone has his or her own preferred method. It's kinda like if you sleep on your stomach or side or back or halfway in between with your hand tucked IWB at 12:00. :mrgreen:

When I first tried on my holsters and stood in front of a mirror, turning around and bending over, etc. I was so unsure of whether or not my holster would be completely concealed (I carry IWB at 4:00). But I get more and more confident with each passing day. What makes me more comfortable is the thought that only people "in the know," i.e., those who have CHL's or are used to trying to spot people with CHL's, would notice.

I was fortunate that my holster collection didn't get big before I found something that works for me. The key for me was finding my carry method, which is kidney carry. An IWB leather holster seemed natural. I got a Milt Sparks VM II.
