How do you carry?

[wtfd661]

I carry my Kimber in a IWB Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 in the 3 oclock position. I carry a G26 in a IWB MTAC from Comp-Tac also at the 3 oclock position (sometimes I carry the G26 in a Blackhawk Serpa in the same position). What was said earlier is correct, a good holster with a good belt makes a world of difference. If you can afford it a good holster will cost anywhere from $50 - $100 and will make the difference for concealment and comfort. Good luck to you.

A well made GUN belt makes all the difference in my opinion. They are expensive but well worth it. I am not talking about a heavy duty Dickies work belt from Walmart either. Spend the money for a good Gun belt.

I've got one of the best (in my opinion). You can see a picture of it in U.S.Patriots pic. Mine was Military issued.

I think my holster (which was give to me as a present) is for OC only. They payed Way to much for it imo. It looks like the ones we used over seas. Maybe I can make one out of duct tape? LOL!

OMG haha! How does it function? Does it work pretty well?

I'm simply the Googler and not the maker. I would venture to guess, however, that it would be a poor choice for a holster.

Well my holster fits on the inside of my side if I wear my pants 2 sizes to big. Would probably help too if my gun wasn't so thick. The gun and holster are almost 2 inches wide it looks like.

What gun/holster are you currently using?

Kydex can do wonders at providing secure placement and retention without adding much thickness.

For NO added thickness, you could try a Raven VanGuard (designed by INGO member Shay). It won't help much with secure placement or retention, but it's the thinnest you can go without being holsterless (which I don't recommend).

I conceal a Fobus paddle holster with a coat or shirt covering. The comfort of OC without the attention.

It's a Highpoint .380 ACP with a Uncle Mike's. I'm not sure which Uncle Mike's it is. I want to say it said it was a 13? I plan on getting a different carry gun after the Holidays.

The Highpoint is only about an inch thick, but the holster has a lot of padding. It's probably a little less than 2 inches honestly.

In your case, the gun itself is probably the main reason for the bulk. Switching to a different, slimmer gun would be the first step. The next step would be matching the new gun with a slim holster, and stiff belt.

If you decide to stay with the HP, you will have a difficult time finding a quality holster for it, without going to something entirely custom.

theweakbrother: I just assumed that rocket in your pocket was because I was around?

lilsoup: that looks like what I need to do.

U.S.Patriot: Do you wear that in your belt loops of your pants or a little higher?

I wear it through my belt loops.
