Been concealed carrying for 30+ years and what I've come up with is Inside the wasteband is my favorite method. When sitting in a vehicle i then switch it to my left side for a cross draw and is very comfortable and accessible while sitting in the car. Off body carry doesn't seem like a safe option. However, no one would ever suspect a hipster with a man bag to be packing heat. Lol. Someone could easily cut the strap and run thinking they are stealing your valuables.

Smaller cross-shoulder messenger pouches are a great off-body option too. You can sling them across your chest and a few that are designed for concealed carry have tear-away compartments for your firearm that allow pretty quick access. Remember, always place your firearm into a holster within a bag. Or at the very least in a Kydex trigger guard.

@@krazylevin Right, that's a no-no. Unfortunately there are nowhere close to enough trigger guard models available, though, so you'll probably have to get creative and modify a holster. Ideally it will be secured in the bag so you're just drawing from the bag as you would if you were drawing from an IWB holster or the like. There are some soft holsters with Velcro that can be used, but I'm not a fan of those. You'll just have to experiment to see what works with your setup and for your needs.

I have been appendix carrying for 30 yrs. As you get older and put on weight it can be challenging. I usually go up a size in my waist and use a good belt. As a 20 yr LEO, my advice is to carry on your body. Iwb, Owb, ankle, shoulder holster etc. And practice drawing from that holster, with an empty mag safe weapon for starters. If your in sweat pants or basketball shorts, that one strap sling bag maybe a good option. Carry everywhere you go! Never keep your firearm in an unoccupied vehicle. Its a quick way to have your CCW revoked. Always, always, always carry a spare mag. If you have a G26 carry a G17 mag as your spare for extra rounds etc. More rounds the better. And please if you have a CCW, goto a range and learn how to shoot it. Don’t buy a firearm if you have never shot, and keep it in the box with no rounds loaded etc. If you are a new gun owner , sign up for classes which are offered locally through the NRA (National Rifle Association). 🇺🇸

@@spencerchaffee I have heard that before. Heard it said about shoulder rigs too. Tactically it puts the weapon within easy reach of both hands, block with one and draw with the other. At times, feeling unsafe, slipping a hand in your jacket and popping the snaps looks like an average thing to do. Readying the weapon for a draw without telegraphing your movements. Your opponent could be a southpaw making your right hip and appendix carry vulnerable. As an observation about strong side carry. I have witnessed a near epidemic of weapons getting flashed when guys go for their wallets. You could be jumped from behind making your SOB rig vulnerable. That leaves ankle carry and going down (on your knee) to draw leaves you exposed. I am not trying to be cute or a smart ass. Everything has pros and cons. I suggested cross draw from my perspective in logistics. Lots of driving for hours and hours. Concealment is slightly more difficult. Just requires a bit thought before leaving home. Plus, unlike a fanny pack, you are not likely to leave it in a in your vehicle or a restaurant. Cross draw has some fair qualities worth consideration.

Ditto. I'm 6'0" and around 190lbs. My primary carry position is 3:00 to 3:30 depending on the trouser/holster combination. I'm constantly changing positions, seated, standing, bent over, on my back, etc. It doesn't dig into me when I'm sitting like appendix, nor does it cause me to sit sidesaddle while driving like 4:00. That carry position only becomes a problem when laying on my right side like when I'm changing the oil in my car. I have no issues drawing while seated in the car or a restaurant booth. It's extremely comfortable and only the weight reminds me that I'm carrying. As a bonus, I've discovered that I can also carry a full size pistol instead of a dinky micro 9 that is hard to shoot and may not have enough barrel length to accelerate the bullet fast enough to expand properly. I'm an old school fan of metal frames and DA/SA so on most days I have a .40 P226 on my hip and a Bersa .380 as a backup in my vest. Recently, I wore that combo when visiting my folks for a week and my mother was never the wiser. Everyone seems to be on this micro kick, but I say if you can carry a full sized auto, then carry a full sized auto. A 4+ inch barrel chambered in a caliber that begins with 4 is nearly always preferable to anything less and 3:00 lets it happen.

Great points. Would like to have heard on a 4th option, pocket carry. I tried appendix with a Cheetah 380 and LCR-x 9mm revolver, both on the larger side for pocket carry. Tried both inside the waistband at 4 o'clock as well. Neither was ideal, good when standing, but uncomfortable or hard to reach at other times. I now almost exclusively pocket carry, either the LCR-x 9mm snub nose or a Tomcat 32. Almost always forget it's there, so comfortable and no risk of leaving it behind like with a bag or fanny pack. I left my fanny pack hanging on a door hook in a restroom once. I remembered 5 steps out the door, so not an issue, but made me realize the risk of off body. My girlfriend from 10 years back did the same with a purse, but didn't remember until we were 70 miles down the road. Off body just feels to risky to me. When in the woods, back packing or hunting I will occasionally carry a larger model off body in my pack or fanny pack less risk of me forgetting because less distractions and less chance of someone grabbing my bag if I get distracted in a place with lots of people.

I got a pocket holster with a flat side facing out which minimizes printing so long as you don't use an extended mag. Looks like you have a phone or a wallet in your front pocket.

Off body can be great in situations, one thing I think about though as in self defense is we never have the luxury of the first move, and if the first move of the bad guy is mugging, their focus is going to be for that bag or Fanny pack. So it’s still good just extra situational awareness. Great video.

If any other women want to add their opinions, on where to conceal, and why. Please do. As a woman, with a large bust, but small but and hips. I find it easier to conceal, if worn beside my breast on my off side. The fact that many women will be attacked from the rear, it can also be fired from position, with very little body shift. The movement required, can easily be hidden as minor struggle. But, having been attacked more than once, both attackers can from behind, and attempted to pin my arms down, putting their arms over mine. Don't worry, I came out of the attack, black and blue, a few city and scrapes, a black eye onc. But they came out in worse shape. I find this position also helps prevent numbness from pressure. My hip area is too boney, and can suffer from numbness in less than 90 minutes. That was the worse part of being a line cop. Having to wear it at the waist.

@@laanierhae thank you for sharing. As women, we all come in different sizes. Which is great, life would be boring, if we were carbon copies. And with our different shapes comes different challenges. If our sharing helps someone, all the better. I have lso found that if being approached from the front, I have time to prepare. At times I feel that I have some type of challenge tattooed on my forehead. Warning long story, most likely riddled with typos: you may want to turn back lol. Such as when I was walk in China Town in San Francisco. My friend and I we going down the sidewalk, to catch up with the rest of our party, minding our own business. Than I see a man on the other side walk walking in the other direction. U know head n a swivel. So, I just acknowledge in my mind. When the man laser focused on me, and started in my direction, across the street. So the swivel stops, and I position myself between the man and my friend, just because I did want her to get hit, when I was the intended target. I'm not small 5'9", that always wanted to be a Mary Ann, but was born a Ginger. A tomboy inside of Ginger, is more accurate. But the guy coming at me was about 6'3" to 6'2", with about 75 to 100 pounds on my 135. As he neared me, he tucked his shoulder, like a football play, and yes, he tried to tackle me, he was, shock I didn't drop, and actually turned around and cursed him out as he hurried away. My friend too a minute or two to get over the shock and than started to laugh, finally realizing why I changed, walking positions. Heck I would have felt bad if she had been hurt, she had kids at home, I didn't.

Appendix is the best tactically speaking. Not only is it faster to access but it's also much easier to protect your gun if someone tries to take it. It's like Clint Smith said; "A defensive handgun isn't supposed to be comfortable ... it's supposed to be comforting." That's true but I've been carrying AIWB for 15 years and I usually don't even notice my mid sized 9mm. (Glock 19 or Sig 365XL) A lot of things aren't comfortable but we get used to them, e.g. shoes, belts, glasses, PPE, Thanksgiving at your in-laws, etc.

I'm a very thin guy so the most comfortable position is appendix, but it imprints more on the front of my shirt and I don't like having to mess with it when I sit. The rear quarter is also pretty comfortable, so that's how I carry; and when I sit in my car, I just push on it a little to angle it and it doesn't push against the seat.

If you lift weights, and grow your chest and shoulders, you won't have a problem with printing, unless you're carrying more than 15 rounds. If you're skinny, a pistol with a smaller grip, with respect to both height and thickness, is a good option.

I've carried quarter carry for 30 years. But due to a massive work injury. To my dominant right shoulder. I've had to switch things up to how I carry. Over the last two years, I've had three surgical procedures. I'm dominant arm is useless for all my right hand rigs. I'm getting ready for a complete reverse shoulder replacement. Hopefully this will get rid of the pain, and give me back my mobility. But what has worked for me during this. Has been a left front pocket carry with a ruger max 380. Fortunately I've worked with shooting with my off hand my whole life. I was blessed with big hands so manipulation of the 380 is easy for me. But due to my injury it's just about impossible for me to do reloading. With my dominant arm with a full size gun or sub compact. It makes no sense, I know, but for me. The 380 or a 38 snub in my pocket just works best. Is it what I want to carry? No! But different tools for different jobs and circumstances. It's better than a sharp stick. It at least gives me a chance to protect myself and family. Fortunately my wife carries everywhere she goes. So that betters our chances when we're out together. Just something to think about. Life can change in a second. You have to be able to adapt and overcome. Stay safe out there everybody.

I choose to carry a snubnose revolver appendix IWB. It's by far the most comfortable and practical gun to carry this way from my experience. The 2 inch barrel doesn't dig into your leg sitting down and the handle naturally curves along your body. Granted you sacrifice capacity compared to a semi-auto, but the lightweight and compact design is a tradeoff. Also if someone is on top of you, you can press it into that person without worrying about it going out of battery.

I've actually found that longer barreled pistols are easier to AIWB. I just bought a full size 9mm for this reason. When you sit down with a longer barrel, the end of the holster doesn't dig in as much. It goes between your legs, next to your junk. But, I'm also a large guy.

Good video - this comes down to personal preference, your needs and use of the firearm, how you train, physical abilities and body type. Prefer 4-5 o’clock myself. The Vedder ProTuck has wings and two belt clips, so I find it tucks the grip right against my back. It does help that I went from 220 to 180 pounds in the last year, too. Comfortable, and you don’t see a bulge in my side when walking towards me. Yes, it is not the fastest draw - I am willing to live with that.

One major concern with appendix carry is, the chance that you might just blow your junk off, or, shoot through you femoral artery. I know; if you practice strict trigger and muzzle discipline, that shouldn't be a concern, but, in the heat of a gunfight things happen quickly, and the risk of a mistake, that most likely would be fatal to you, is there.

Great Video . This also has a ton to do with stature . The long in short is that there is no free lunch !!! On the belt behind you ends up winning so many times but its far from free... I like chest or shoulder rigs more than any of them but.........I carry 1911 or Pistols based on 1911 no smaller than commander size and in my world the Kimber pro carry 1911 on the right rear flank OWB is basically invisible all year long and costs the least in negatives. As mentioned in this video its nearly useless in a car so I have developed the habit of removing it and have a car place for it when I am in the truck. Of course this doesnt flush in all states. This is of course with everything factored in. quality of firearm , stopping power , how many times in a day I will curse the thing , my size. Its one of those topics thats different for everyone because of so many reasons.... A 6'5" 230 pound guy like myself can conceal a full sized 1911 a few ways where as a smaller guy cannot so he does something different that works out for him. The key is to find that gun and find that carry position that works for each individual so you have it. When they are uncomfortable or incinvenient they start getting left behind and thats no bueno for anyone...
