CCW - What & How do you carry?

[Carlos]

Steyr 40 in a IWB Grahams Custom Leather "Falcon" holster, extra mag holder, Surefire G2 flashlight next to that, primary weapon.

Sometimes I carry my 7 shot Taurus Tracker in 357 with mean hollowpoint ammo.

As the weather gets better, I'll be carrying my PA-63 in a fanny pack with a couple extra mags.

 

[Bobarino]

H&K USP Compact .40 in a Blade-Tech IWB at 4 o'clock, or tuckable IWB (UCH). sometimes a spare mag in a Galco clip-on pouch.

I always carry my Smith & Wesson Model 640 "Centennial". It wears a set of Craig Spegel Boot Grips and rest securely in a HEDLEY Back Pocket Holster.

S&W 442 Centennial in an Uncle Mike's fabric pocket holster in my outside coat pocket.

How do you guys with these tight leather pocket holsters draw the gun with one hand? Every molded leather pocket holster I ever tried would come right out of the coat pocket with the gun.

"How do you guys with these tight leather pocket holsters draw the gun with one hand? Every molded leather pocket holster I ever tried would come right out of the coat pocket with the gun."

Mine has NEVER came out with the gun, it also holds the weapon in the correct position to pull it easily.
First, the holster is not tight. I could hold the combo upside down and the gun would fall right out. Second, the inside of the holster is very slick. The way Mr. Hedely "cures?" them, makes them very stiff and "SLICKERY"

The Stiff Leather also hides the outline of the gun extremely well. The side facing us in the picture goes against my "cheek" and the outside is smooth.

Contact Mr. Hedley and get one, if you don't like it, I bet he'd take it back, he is a real stand up guy.

Either a Glock 21 or Glock 19, depending on my mood, and what I'm wearing.

Holster is either a Sidearmor IWB or Dillon Master, again depending on mood and dress. Location is always just a hair forward of 3:00 - call it 2:45.

Over is either an open shirt or photographer's vest, depending on temp.

Backup is Kel-Tec P32 in a pocket holster.

 

[Ultraman]

Sorry kmays, I just now noticed that you were talking about a "COAT POCKET".

Pocket Holsters are for "PANTS POCKETS". Personally, if "I" were to carry my gun in a Coat Pocket, I wouldn't use a holster.

 

[4Truck]

Hk USP 40 compact in either a Blade Tech IWB or a Galco NSA II

 

[Standing Wolf]

I generally carry a pre-agreement Smith & Wesson model 60 .357 magnum in an inside the waist band holster from Kramer. When a slight bulge at 5:00 is out of the question, I drop a Walther PPK into a jacket pocket.

 

[tbeb]

Older Charter Arms Undercover .38 in a Mika pocket holster, strong side front pants pocket. (Barami hip grip is pretty slick for holsterless IWB carry.)

 

[itgoesboom]

Bersa .380 in a comp-tac shirttucker. Underneath a tucked in shirt.

[GrandmasterB]

Ed Brown Kobra in a Desantis Inner Peace IWB at 4 o'clock -- untucked shirt.

Or Browning Hi Power in a Tucker Cover Up, either with untucked shirt or worn tuckable.

When it is really hot (or I am just lazy) Colt Mustang Pocketlite in a Don Hume pocket holster.

 

[Stevie-Ray]

Kimber Ultra CDP in DeSantis belly band, strong side is primary.
Glock 26 in same rig, cross-draw, weak side secondary.
Untucked shirt for cover such as polo, prefer ribbed bottom, or sweater or sweatshirt in winter. G26 sometimes in inside coat pocket.
Taurus PT-22 (soon to be KelTec P-32) in Uncle Mike's #1 in weak side front pocket in shorts with tucked in shirt for summer.

Note that this changes from time to time!!

 

[TheFrontRange]

I've been carrying a full-size Kimber 1911 in an outside-the-waistband pancake-style rig by a local artisan, KC Custom Gunleather. I normally wear it at about the 3 o'clock position with a double-mag pouch by KC at about 8 o'clock, all covered by either an untucked shirt, suit jacket, or photo-style vest. I sometimes carry the Kimber in a Galco fanny pack, too.

Last week I just picked up a hardly-used SIG P239 in .40. I will be "proving" this gun at the range in the next few days (and I have every expectation that it will knock my socks off!) I will probably sometimes carry this on the belt as a second gun to the Kimber, but I've also purchased a Kramer Confidant holster shirt that in my early tries-on is doing a darn good job of hiding this gun under my usual XXL-sized shirts. I'm looking to pack the SIG this way quite a bit, hopefully.

 

[WebHobbit]

S&W Centennial 640 .357 2inch
Galco SpeedMaster OWB
Covered by jacket (Winter), Denim Vest (Fall, Spring) or ultra light vest (Summer)
Usually loaded with 110 grain Magnum SJHPs

I also carry 2 speed strips for reloads.

This is me:

 

[Celtech]

Glock 19 in an Uncle Mikes Kydex paddle holster or Blackhawk industries angle draw shoulder holster slightly modified

and a Beretta Tomcat .32 in a hunter IWB holster usually down the front of my pants or back pocket

two spare mags for each.

 

[V-fib]

Sp101 .357 with Win 110gr jhp and 1 hks speedloader in a smartcarry either tucked or under a shirt as a crossdraw with a shoulderstrap.

 

[Dave R]

P-11 in an Uncle Mike's IWB, stitched to make it tighter. At 4 o'clock, under a sweater vest in the winter, and either an untucked golf shirt or a tucked T with Hawaiian shirt in the summer.

Backup is a P-32 in a pocket holster in the strong side pocket.

 

[Flashpoint]

-Steyr M40
-Highnoon tuckable @ 4:00
-Unckle Mike's Pancake strongside w/long shirt.

 

[LiquidTension]

Kimber Pro Carry in a FIST #19 (I think) MOB position. Untucked shirt conceals it in all weather. Any place where I might have to tuck my shirt in I probably can't carry anyway. Columbia River M16-13Z clipped to right pocket. Sometimes an extra mag in the left pocket.

 

[shootingfarm]

Kimber Pro Carry HD(pre ser.II) in a Milt Sparks Executives Companion at 3:30, with 230gr. JHP, extra mag, all held up with a belt from Tucker.
