Printing vs comfort

[davsel]

Paddle holsters allow you to carry without need for a belt. They are also great for adjusting forward or back when you get in and out of the car. I usually slip mine off and tuck it between the seats by my right leg when driving long distance.
Grip length and width seem to be the greatest obstacle to concealing. Single stack short grips disappear, Glock 17s are much more difficult depending on your size.
Ankle holsters are next to impossible to draw quickly under stress from.

Kramer Gun Leather makes a great paddle holster for ladies - depending on their shape. They also have other holsters designed for ladies, as do other companies.

Whatever you settle on, carry regularly and you will forget it's even there.

Cover garment with a sturdy belt and good IWB holster at 2:30-3:00 with at least 15* of cant will hide the largest handgun.

Just another reason to have multiple holster and guns to carry depending on what your wearing/season. I have a small revolver in a remora for tight clothes or summertime shorts. I use a IWB at 4-5oclock with a subcompact with jeans and shirt . Then I have the OWB at 3o clock with a full size for jacket weather. Who doesn't like accessorizing

Yeah...I just haven't found a small gun I prefer for another concealed carry option yet.

What make/model of handgun are you carrying if you don't mind me asking?

I don't mean to be rude but who cares, if you are legal and printing you are legal. I had my shirt tucked in and you could see the handle of my xd (IWB @ 3:30) a cashier asked " are you in law enforcement " I said no I just carry a gun and always have sorry if it makes you uncomfortable, end of story. Now if you conceal carry or should I say IWB and the same amount of your fire arm is visible as when you open carrry OWB are you concealed or open carrying? The only thing that changes is your holster is exposed.

Well, there are certain circumstances that I would rather not reveal (accidentally or incidentally) that I was armed. Sometimes the letter of the law and the spirit of social convention never truly cross paths, you know?

I had originally planned on carrying a Walther PP .380 for my Concealed Carry. The more I fired it, the less satisfied I was with the gun. I've been carrying my Baby Desert Eagle .45 ACP instead, and I've been much happier with it.

This is fine for those who carry casually, just to the store, or to the mail box or something. There are people who make the decision to carry seriously and in situations that would land them in serious trouble, even if not legal trouble. "I carry a gun, sorry it makes you uncomfortable," doesn't fly for 100% of people who are employed by someone other than themselves, nor will it prevent jail time for any person who has accepted the consequences of carrying in places where they'll be arrested if they are ever made out.

I work in an office and 99% of our staff is clueless I carry. G19 and a 26 on the ankle daily. The people who know know, those who don't are sheep.. Those that see me 'print' when I'm messing with something or moving something just kind of look and I act as if nothing is going on. None have ever asked.

As far as where I carry, it depends on the day. Dress around it. You girls are lucky in that you can accessorize. A light sweater, a vest thing, loose outer garmets and it looks natural.

My x spent hours figuring out what worked with her carrying iwb. She carried at 330-400. She ended up spending a little bit of $$$ at kohls on the cheap and it was never a concern.

She was a tiny thing too. 5'4 and about #105
