carrying a ruger p95

[Georgia Gunner]

Forgive me if this has already been discused ,but I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on the best way to conceal carry my p95. Holsters and what position to wear the gun would be a big help. Thanks in advance for the advice.

I own a P95 but I don't carry it. People say the gun is very large but in reality the grip is no larger than a lot of other double stack guns. If I wanted to carry mine concealed I would order a Fist Kydex #6 holster with the extreme cant setting with the solid belt loop. I would carry it in the waist band at about the 3:30 position. It should conceal with little problem under most untucked loose shirts.

With the extreme cant the butt of the gun points up at your arm pit and that allows the shirt to drape over with little printing. The extreme cant also allows a fast grip acquisition. In addition a longer grip conceals about as well as a shorter one.

Extreme forward cant (See the picture on the extreme right in the following link)

I own a couple of the number 7 holsters but in the future I would buy the number 6 because I rarely need to change from the extreme cant.

Vertical shoulder holster. I usually carry using an IWB holster but my P95 is too fat and the slide lock and safety stick out and are sharp. Mine is a P95DC. Maybe the DAO version is more comfortable but they still have that big hump and the slide lock sticking into my waist.

I have other pistols with levers that dig into my side and I actually use a left-handed INW holster worn on the right side so the grip faces forward. Unless the pistol has ambidextrous levers this fixes the digging problem, but it also makes the pistol harder to present. I have gotten pretty good at it though. Not for everyone.

concealment of any gun no matter what it is will be up to the individual can you handle a iwb holster? that may or may nopt work for you. can you handle a shoulder holster? again it may or may not work . myself i carry more in a fanny pack than anything else because i find it comfortable i can carry my gun and all gear , though i do sometimes go with a iwb holster as well. the best advice i can give you is to try out a few holsters and see what works best for you.
