How do you carry?

[cdoan02]

Depends on the weather. OWB at 3:30-4 o'clock when I have a jacket. IWB appendix carry when I'm wearing extra light/tight clothing.

My vote of "other" explained:

I carry in a variety of ways, each depending on the situation or environment. For everyday, especially if I'm out walking around a lot, I will carry @ 2 o'clock (appendix): 100% of the time during the warmer climate times, 80% during the colder climate times. If not appendix 4 o'clock. If driving long distances, more than an 90 mins, I carry cross-draw. Placing the firearm on the door-side of the vehicle allows for better access to the firearm and direct alignment to 95% of threats encountered while driving. This will either be at either 8 or 9 o'clock or in a shoulder holster ("jack-ass" rig).

My question to everyone else that carries in various postions is this: Do you practice your draw techniques and standard procedures from the varying positions that you carry?

Too many variations ....minimum 2 weeks when changing platforms...no safety(glock, MP) to 1911

usually between 3 and 5 o'clock...second in left pocket or 7-8 o'clock

I dont change the style/type of holster other than IWB/OWB

Crossbreed, CTAC, MTAC..IWB

Don Hume, Galco... OWB

Ive been looking at shoulder rigs...(as Im getting rounder, its either that or get Less round...and yes ...round Is a shape.. LOL)

4:30-5:00, OWB only

I didn't see 12 o'clock on the list.

That would be.......uncomfortable to say the least.

OTHER: I pocket carry. My primary is a Ruger LC9 and sometimes I'll pocket carry my Colt revolver. I carried IWB for a year or two with a XD .40 sub-compact at the 2:30 position using a crossbreed holster. I gave that up for a few reasons. I had a hard time keeping my shirt tucked in, never got comfortable with how the gun would occasionally point into my leg in certain sitting positions, and never liked all that weight. I also like the convenience of pocket carry. While I don't think I really draw any faster, I feel more comfortable that I can casually put my hand in my pocket and get a head start on a draw.

That's my favorite thing about pocket carry

Since saturday its been back to pocket carry for me. Carry the S&W M&P bodyguard without the laser.

 

[shootniron]

Pocket carry only

 

[AKguy1985]

I've been switching off between pocket carry and owb carry with my M&P bodyguard. It just depends on what I feel like doing that particular day. I have a desantis pocket tuk holster and a desantis owb holster with thumb break that clips onto my belt.

Usually carry from 3-4:00, OWB with either a Charter Arms Bulldog or Ruger SP-101 in a Simply Rugged pancake holster. Every now and then will carry my 3.5" 1911 in a belt slide at 4-5:00 position.
