Let's be honest...

[hoosiertriangle]

There are a few different "comforts" being discussed here. I would like to get a little clearer.

1. Comfortable - As in, I trust my gun in a holster and lets my mind be at ease
2. Comfortable - As in, I like my gun in a holster because it makes wearing it more physically desirable

I keep mine in a holster in both 1 and 2 because it makes the most sense to me and maximizes both 1 and 2.

If I'm carrying other than in my hand, it's in a holster. No exceptions to date. None expected.

All of my carry guns are in a holster.

Always,

Holster, 100% of the time. The trigger needs something covering it -- I won't Mexican carry and risk stuff getting snagged!

 

[techres]

100% in holster. Period.

 

[Dogman]

Sometimes I'll carry my Kahr PM-9 in my pocket without a holster.

I would say that I carry in a holster 90% of the time. There are occasions that I have used a coat pocket or pants pocket to carry but that is very rare.

I never use a holster. Always under my seat or in my hand. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

Isn't that awkward when you're not in your vehicle?

Keltec 3AT rides in a pocket holster when the pocket is big enough, otherwise it's in my right pocket by itself. I never carry ANYTHING else in that same pocket! I sometimes carry my Keltec P11 in my waist using the optional factory belt clip. Otherwise..... in a holster.

No, ATM It's just there if there's more than 4 of them

What I should have asked is if you carry when you go into a store, restaurant, etc. with the gun in your hand or do you leave it under the seat of your vehicle and go about unarmed?

I bet he never has a problem with his order.

He's got me wondering too.

I carry in a holster 100% of the time. If I leave it in the truck, it is still in a holster. The only time it is not in a holster is when it is on the night stand next to the bed while I am sleeping.

Doesn't that make it kind of difficult to shoot at the range? not to speak about cleaning.

If you don't shoot it, you don't have to clean it.

Well, maybe just a light dusting.

Lets Be Honest

I use a holster 100% of the time.

 

[melensdad]

Who here carries their gun in a holster 100% of the time?
How about 75-99%?
50-74% - etc...
....


Anyway, I'm gonna try the crossbreed and hope I like it...

I carry a 1911 pattern gun 99% of the time and when I carry one of those, like right now, then I use a holster.

80% of the time the holster I use is a CrossBreed IWB. About 5% of the time I use a Com Tac IWB. About 5% of the time I use a GALCO SOB and about 5% of the time I use a Don Hume JIT. I find the JIT to be the least comfortable holster I own, but it is what I have on today. So for 1911 carry, its in a holster 100% of the time.

The 1% of the time that I carry a pocket pistol, and that really is only about 1% of the time, I carry it in my pocket without a holster. Its an AMT "DAO Back-Up" and that gun is safe to carry loose in a pocket. So for pocket pistol carry, which again is very very rare, its loose carry.

I should also point out that a 1911 pattern gun, carried loose in the pocket is simply dangerous IMO, so that is one reason I would never carry it loose. Another reason I would not carry one of my 1911 pattern guns loose in pocket is that none of them are small enough to fit in a pocket.
