Yesterday was my first day of carrying and today was my second. I learned quite a few things.
1) I somehow got lucky and picked a holster and belt that works pretty well on my second try (blackhawk cqc serpa and bison designs heavy duty last chance) so listening to all y'all on this board helped me pick up on my needs and wants much easier than guess and check.
2) I'm 6'3" 300 lbs so getting in and out of your average car has always been difficult for me But add in an 8 inch long 2 lb chunk of steel to the hip and it gets even more difficult and you must tread carefully
3) finding good concealment isn't easy for anyone!!!!!
4) I carry owb at 3:30 ish and with a slight forward cant.... I can no longer use my strongside back pocket (I was at a convenience store and struggled for a long time getting my wallet out certainly showing to everyone in line behind me)
These are my big lessons today so what are some of y'alls first day "aha" and "oops" moments?
