I carry in a bikini holster, back of my right hip under a shirt.

Easy to get to and sit down with. Also easy to conceal.

I have a SideArmor IWB which I carry a Glock 20.
I have a Desantis nemesis pocket holster for a P3-AT for backup.

I'm getting a Blade Tech IWB for a 10mm EAA Witness.

I used to use a Galco Jack Slide with my 1911. That pistol is parkerized and rusted too much.

It's either a Glock 19 in a Sidearmor IWB or a NRM Colt Commander IWB in a Galco NSA for me, around 4:00ish.

I carry a 4" Kimber in a Milt Sparks SS-II around 4:00.

Well most commonly I will carry a Model 60 snubby in the pocket.

My second most commonly carried firearm is a SIG P239 in a Don Hume OWB holster covered by a sweater or something to that effect.

Just picked up a Don Hume Belt Slide for my P99 yesterday. When I finally get my permit, I think I'm going to end up carrying it between 3:00 -4:00, depending on which shirt I'm wearing. The hardest part of concealing the gun is the blasted sights.

I usually carry IWB in a FIST kydex holster. When I am driving long distances I usually switch to a Galco paddle holster. It is harder to conceal but a bit more comfy when I am sitting in the car. I also have a Keltec P3AT for those times when I am unable to hide my USP

S&W 640-1 in a Galco IWB, strong side, just behind the hip bone.

I carry mine a 1933 vintage colt 1911-A1 in a milt sparks summer special inside the waistband holster,its usually right behind my right hip. Its very comfortable to wear all day to.

IWB with a Blade-Tech Kydex holster. I usually wear jeans and a button down shirt and it conceals my USP40c very well.

I carry my Taurus 605 in my right front pocket in a pocket holster that I made my self from a Uncle Mikes IWB holster meant for a semi auto.

Glock 30 in a Comp-Tac Gurkha or C-Tac IWB holster, at the 4-4:30 position (12 being the belt buckle), either tucked in with the C-Tac or untucked with the Gurkha depending on my dress mode of the day.

If I'm untucked, a G30 mag and Surefire E2E in a matching Comp-Tac combo-rig on the left side.

If I'm tucked, they hide elsewhere.

I've carried comfortably in both these holsters concealed for up to and over 24 hours straight several times when I had to.

Always (usually) belt slide, pancake type of deal. 3 o'clock or slightly back from there. Mostly SP-101 but sometimes could be an auto - several fit the bill.

If this approach no good then probably my 9mm R9s ... in either a pocket Uncle Mikes or again a belt slide but a small one from K&D holsters.

If all else fails - SmartCarry might just be brought into play.

Oh yeah - ankle occasionally too.

I use a Sparks Versa Max 2 inside the waistband holster about 98% of the time.

Brass Balls, should we refer to you as Caster Troy from now on?

Is that the style you carry those bad boys in? All the time? Mucho cool points to you, if so.

Glock 22 in a DeSantis Cozy Partner IWB.

I carry either IWB in a Milt Sparks VersaMax II, and/or in a pocket holster for my smaller guns. Very occasionally, if dress codes don't allow something more accessible, I'll carry in an ankle holster.

P7M8 carried via Clipdraw at 4:00-5:00 position. If my P3-AT works flawlessly when Kel-Tec sends it back, that will go in my left jacket pocket

I carry my Colt Commander, strong-side @ 3 O'clock, in a OWB Ross Leather M7 holster.

I just keep my shirt untucked, no one ever notices.

My FN Forty-Nine gets carried in a Fobus Roto Paddle on my right side.

Very comfy for most days although I have been known to pack my Makarov (.380) in a Falco (not Galco) IWB holster from Makarov.com.
No one knows they are there.

CZ 85 Compact in an HBE COM II IWB 4 o'clock. If I have a coat on over that my CZ RAMI will be in one of my coat pockets in the HBE pocket holster with 2 spare 12 round mags on the opposite side to ballence it out. Otherwise the 2 mags will be in a Uncle Mikes double mag pouch at 8 o'clock.

Glock 17 in a Don Hume Agent 9 Pancake at the 2:30 O'clock position. I have to wear it forward of 3 O'clock to prevent the gun but from sticking out the back. It's kind of uncomfortable for driving, so I'm looking for other solutions.

Duty is a Sig 229 .40 cal in a Gunleather.net pancake with 20 degree cant. 4 O'clock position.

Usually IWB, crossdraw at about 10 o'clock.

If I use the IWB uncle mikes for the P229 or P239 it's like this:

If i need deep cover for the P239 then i use a defender Belly Band at the 12:00 or 4:30 slot.

It depends on the conditions. If I wear a lite jacket and I have my P220, I'll put in the small of my back without a holster. With the more compact P239 I may put it in a jacket pocket. My Bersa .380 can usually go in a pants pocket. It really just depends on what is comfortable at the moment.

I generally carry IWB at 4:30 PM in a Comp-Tac Undercover. I carry the biggest gun that I can conceal from one the following handguns: Glock 19, Glock 36, Kahr P9 or Kahr PM9.

Browning Hi-Power, 4 o'clock strong side, in a Com II from HBE Leatherworks.

Occasionally I'll carry it in a cheap uncle mike's 'sidekick' IWB, usually if i'm expecting to need to take it off for some reason.

Kimber Pro Carry in a Galco IWB holster 9 o'clock and 2 Wilson Mags in a Bianchi mag holder at my 5 o'clock position.

Also have a Kel-Tec P3AT .380 in right rear pocket in an Uncle Mikes pocket holster and a spare mag in the left front pocket.

1) SIG 229r .40 in a Milt Sparks Executive Companion, 4 o'clock.

2) Glock G30 .45 in a Milt Sparks Executive Companion, 4 o'clock.

Mostly S&W 332 in strong side front pocket of my loose "relaxed fit" carthart jeans or dockers.

P-32 same position if I'm wearing lighter material pants or want to be doubly sure there won't be any printing.

Sometimes I also put a Spanish Libar with imitation British markings in the front right side with no holster. I didn't have any ammo for it, but just bought some yesterday so it'll be a more regular use.

Currently, a Springfield Champion, Galco Summer IWB, at 4:00. Gary Brommeland is working on my Max Con V and double mag pouch. When it gets back from SA Custom shop, I will again carry my primary carry gun, a Springfield Mil Spec, in a Lou Alessi CQC/S. My all-around favorite mode of carry, when it's not too hot for a cover garment, is a shoulder rig. I sold my Galco SS2 rig because the holster was not a true custom fit (one size fits all for 3.5-5" 1911's :scrutiny: ), and have the highly praised Bodyguard rig on order with Mr. Alessi. In any case I believe in having at least 2 extra mags on my person, even when I take out the trash.

Any of my three primary CCW .45acp's are carried OWB in a Galco holster. I carry my Kel-Tec 9mm backup in the front pocket of any pants, shorts or whatever I am wearing. I used to have a Sig P245 that I wore in my boot holster.

By the way. has anyone seen used leather in gunshops that carry used guns. Or do people keep piles of them at home for guns they don't own anymore?

has anyone seen used leather in gunshops that carry used guns. Ken, I think more folks than not (myself included) have that famous ''holster box'' parked somewhere! :p :D

I have a good many I do not use enough - and should probably move them on but - ''ya never know'' ... so they stay!!

I think only piece I got with a rig was my old M85 snub way back ..... I guess the ''issue'' rig with a CZ-52 doesn't count either.

Full-size 1911 .45 strong-side IWB (3:30 - 4:00ish) in a VersaMax II or a 2" .38 in an Uncle Mikes nylon IWB that I cut the top part off of...it sits very deep on the strong-side and disappears with just a T-shirt. Spare ammo is off-side in Comp-Tac mag pouches for the 1911 or just a speed-strip stuck in the change pocket of my jeans for the .38.

If I have to go with a tuckable deal I have a belly-band that I can use either IWB or as a pseudo-shoulder holster thing with either the 2" 38 or a Glock 29. I have the VersaMax tuckable clips but haven't tried them...they look complicated :)

Full size 1911 in a Milt Sparks VM-II at about 4:00. Spare mag rides in a front pocket in a Milt Sparks PCH-M.

On rare occasion I'll use a Galco Fletch High Ride OWB with a cover garment...but I much prefer the VM-II.

January 19, 2005, 03:05 PM
Sometimes a 1911 under my shirt left side butt forward in a belly band. Other times a J Frame IWB 4 o'clock, or just dropped in right hand pants pocket. Mostly, I'm not armed with anything more than a folding knife and maybe OC spray. I'm a pacifist. :p

I carry my Vertec in either a soft Uncle Mike's holster @ 1:00 or a Ross leather holster @ 4:00. Depending on what I'm wearing.
