Hey there all, I'm sure this has been a thread before but figured I would get a new discussion going on the subject if anyone wants to chime in and discuss.

So what is your favorite way to carry, type of holster, brand and why?

I'm a little different than most I assume. I carry with a ace case belly band 90% of the time as Im a shirt and gym shorts kinda guy and I hate belts.

When I'm not carrying with a belly band I use a Galco jackass Rig shoulder holster but it's very rare. I tried for the first year or so of my concealed carry to carry on the hip and I hated it. I felt I was always having to re adjust, or pull my shirt down, going to the bathroom was a chore, and everytime I got up or sat down the gun felt out of place. When I found the belly band it greatly increased the comfort of my every day carry. Also you can fit pretty much any carry size gun in a belly band and you don't have to get specific holsters or anything.

It'd be great to hear from others let's get to know each other better! Happy Monday!

I use a belly band too when walking or even bike riding.
I use an OWB paddle holster or chest rig when in the bush.
I EDC with IWB hybrid from foxx holsters. Use them for all my IWB holsters. Comfy, well made, very affordable, and great warranty.

I almost always carry my Glock 43X beneath my offside arm in an UnderTech UnderCover tank top under a fishing shirt or a Hawaiian shirt (I live in Florida and both are very common here). I have carried my Glock 17 in the same rig. On very rare occasions, I will carry my Glock 43 in a CrossBreed ankle holster.

Nice, I've been carrying the Glock 48, switched from a S and W shield as soon as I heard about them. I never liked glock because I thought they were to bulky. But was always impressed with the stories of reliability. Went and picked up the 48 and love it! I've been on the look out for a 43x but haven't come across one yet. And I only impulse buy as you may be able to tell from my user name lol

I carry a P968 SAS (before Sig messed the sights on the model). I don't use a holster in spite of the fact that "they" say "always use a holster". It fits very nicely in any pocket with a pocket holster. When in a vehicle and I don't plan on leaving it or I know the people where I will be around, I carry the new CZ75 Compact. If/when I find a suitable holster for it, I may carry it on me. Sometimes, either the Mossberg 18.5" barrel, or the AR is in the back of the pick up. Not very often though.

Right now I am pocket carrying an LCR 38 in a home made leather pocket holster. Not pretty but functional.

Ankle holster ???

Can you bend down that far, fast enough to defend yourself with that ?

 

[gambler]

My carry gun is a Glock 19 Gen 5.

I carry a Don Hume IWB leather holster in the summer when I'm only covering with a t-shirt or Hawaiian shirt (we have those in Texas too). I prefer my CYTAC paddle holster if I am wearing a jacket or coat, or if I'm not concerned about printing. My carry gun is a Glock 19

My springboard diving training gives me plenty of flexibility and I have the reflexes of a cat.

Pocket for P938. Carry the CZ in the car/truck when I'm going to see somebody I know I can trust and just leave it there. Any gun is in my pocket when filling up with gas. Gas stations are where it happens.

Don’t go letting his looks fool you. That’s how you get your nose scratched clean off.

I carry my Hellcat or Makarov cross draw in a belly band when I don't want to wear a belt, or the Hellcat strong side IWB (4 o'clock-ish) with an Alien Gear Shapeshifter.

Once I get my CZ P10 F, I might try it in a shoulder rig in winter with a coat, but it is a big gun, so it might simply serve as my SHTF piece in a Safariland low ride OWB.

 

[sharps4590]

Been carrying whatever my pistol/revolver of choice for the day is in a belt slide for.....well, since I was a cop back in the 70's. Got into the habit of carrying concealed and never got out of it.

Once in a great while I will use a shoulder rig and I mean a great while. I like them in the winter and when I was on the farm working or on the trap line but, we sold the farm 20 years ago and I haven't trapped in almost that long. Other than that....I like a belt slide better.

 

[AgedWarrior]

DeSantis OWB belt slide mostly. Occasionally a cross draw for comfort while driving extended times.

Last couple years it's been a Sig 365 either in a IWB kydex or leather OWB on the right side under a a slightly oversized button down shirt. I live in coastal Alabama so shorts and un-tucked shirt is normal everyday wear for most folks. Here lately I've been carrying a new Ruger LCP Max (380). Finally learned how to shoot it. That thing weighs only 10.5 oz and holds 13 rounds- that's insane.
In dead of winter I have been known to carry something a little bigger.....but as I get older, and guns get lighter I have adapted- a little.
