[QUOTE="pistolguy, post: 2224162, member: 30479"] You imagine wrong. all you have to do is twist on your left side hip, raising right side. straighten left leg, bend up right knee. if you are really worried about speed of access, just put the piece under your thigh while driving. Are you scared of it? It's safe in the holster, why not under your leg? Belt rigs suck, mostly. In bad weather, you have to fight your way thru the heavy coat, raincoat, etc, FASTENED due to wind, cold, rain,, and then also under the normal ccw garment. That's SLOW, dude. Also, you are probably wearing gloves if it's cold. If I have my hands in my pockets, no need of gloves, and my hand is on the gun. That makes for about 5x as fast a ccw draw as anyone can be with a belt rig, worn under 2 garments and while wearing gloves! If you pull that gun too soon (during an "incident") you can lose your carry permit,( for "brandishing"). Draw too late,and you end up like George Zimmerman. If, that is, you are lucky enough to survive the incident. :-) In bad weather, what do you do with the gun and rig, when you take off the outer coat, if you are not concealing the gear under yet another garment hmm? With the pocket rig, you can just "palm" it, gun and all, and move it to and from the pocket of the heavy coat. That's very handy, indeed! With velcro on the rig and in the coat pocket, it stays where you want it, too. In hot weather, the concealing garment is usually too hot. If you wear a belt rig. IWB, you sweat all over the gun with a leather rig. IWB with kydex rigs is usually danged uncomfortable. Murphy's law and KISS say to not be switching guns, rigs, locations worn, etc, if you don't absolutely have to do so. There are many nice little pocket 9's. Load them correctly and they have plenty of power, too. Corbon 100 gr PowRball 9mm is over 1300 fps from 3" barrels. It features real expansion in animals, 400 ft lbs of power.
