The perfect concealed carry...a dash of this...a pinch of that?

[BrainOnSigs]

After years of concealed carry and switching weapons/holsters/mag carriers/belts, I have reached concealed carry nivana.

My recipe:

Weapon: HK P2000SK (.357 Sig, V3 configuration). I am a firm believer in polymer now that I have conceal carried thru 5 Florida summers. This HK conceals well. I love .357 Sig as a self defense cartridge. I was weaned on a DA/SA platform and am most comfortable with it. The reliability? It's an HK........

Holster: Matt Del Fatti ISP-SS (IWB). This is my first from Matt. It is black, right handed and made from hard rolled horsehide. It has a 1.5" padded, sharkskin slot and is set to a 15 degree rake. I will never give up my VMIIs but this is certainly less bulky without the VMII's double loop set-up. It feels tight to the body and is rock solid, especially since I lined up my jean's belt loop behind the slot and threaded the belt thru both. It was gift from a friend.

Mag Carrier: There is no compromise here. Milt Sparks makes my favorite mag carrier. This is a double carrier and is 2nd to none. It has the snap loops in the back for easy on/off if needed.

Belt: A black 1.5" Rafter S Gunleather sharkskin belt with a chrome buckle. You'll have to go a long ways to convince me that for $82 there is a better exotic skinned belt on the market.

Ammo: 125 gr Speer Gold dots.....enough said.


Sometimes you have to mix and match to arrive at a top quality carry platform.

I think this configuration will keep me happy (and safe) for years to come.

drool drool drool

That's a very nice looking gun and setup.

I may eventually buy a P2000SK to replace my current Glock 26 as I really like the HK P2000 series.

I like your choices, but for me it's a USP compact, the SK is just a wee bit too small for my hand.

VERY nice! :D

[Skywarp]

I want that exact same gun. I love p2ks and I love 357SIG

I used to carry my Glock 32 (.357 Sig) but switched to a 5" Colt Government Model. I carry it in a Milt Sparks VM-II as well. I have a generic brand gun belt that is thick and surprisingly very sturdy but after seeing $80 for sharkskin...I gotta call RafterS and get one. :D

WOW...Now thats what you call a set up!! Looking Good

[1911 guy]

You are absolutely right. Nothing says you have to buy a belt, holster, mag pouch, etc. From the same maker. The only two stipulations I have are 1) quality stuff and 2) belt size and accessory slots are the same. You seem to have those covered and look good, to boot. Nice gear.

[yongxingfreesty]

looks very nice, but is it ok to have a dark brown or tan holster with everything black? HAHA

Nope! That would be a fashion faux pas........ :D

[MaterDei]

Very nice.

In what positions (e.g. 4 o'clock) do you wear the gun and mags?

My two main carry setups are just plain jane black:
