Where does your piece ride?

Where does your piece ride?

Sometimes I forgo a holster for an inside jacket pocket, or a handwarmer pocket during the winter months.

Sometimes I'll use the tiny piece with the pocket clip. The pocket clip easily looks like a folding knife clip hooked on my jeans.

When in a vehicle, I put it on the ribbed rubber floor mat outta the leather.

IWB 2:30 to 3:00. I rarely go to the discomfort of carrying. I have a milt sparks VMII on order and I am going to place one for a del fatti some time this week. Why not? He won't deliver for at least two years!

IWB at 4:00 in a Milt Sparks Versamax. If not there then I rock the OC.

The wait for a Milt Sparks is two years now!?!?!?!?! Jesus, it was just 4 months when I got mine

Mlt Sparks goodness, just no waiting. Costs a wee bit more than if you order from Sparks themselves tho.

Milt Sparks wait is 20-26 weeks. Del Fatti is at eighteen months. I placed my order with him yesterday. I have to update my MS order to include a VMII for Sig 220 with rail.

I have yet to try an IWB holster that I found comfortable. I have yet to try a Milt Sparks though. I currently use a Don Hume JIT for my Glock 30 and love it!

Normally I use a good IWB holster behind my right hip.

I think the G36 would be better for IWB.

I really want one.

...

Anybody use a chest rig like this?

I just got an STI ranger II and plan to get my CHL before too long.

I carried it around the house in my friends holster for bout 45 minutes or so and found it to be pretty comfy, so I went ahead and ordered one.

its a don hume waistband clip on
http://www.donhume.com/Products/Prod...m?ProductID=35

it offers a couple different places to carry, I found it to be most comfy for just in front of my hip, or just behind. I'll see how it is once I try to carry for a longer period of time and report back once I have found a normal carry position for myself

Ugh, I think that Galco is overpriced crap.

I've started to love synthetic holsters more and more each time I carry.

Passive retention, don't get damaged by sweat, light weight.

I just need to find a decent Kydex shoulder rig for the winter.

Ankle holster.

I don't want to bleed in the ribs if there is an accidental discharge.

I also don't like wearing a coat all the time.

You need a coat for an IWB holster? I work in an office environment with an untucked polo shirt and I have been concealing a full size 1911 + 2 mags with a Safariland model 27. The muzzle does not sweep me during holstering and unholstering.

i'm starting to get a concept for a rough-trade gay porn here. you could sweeten the pot by giving it a natural/synthetic holster subplot.

sorry, i should probably just stay out of this thread.

LOL I am pretty new to guns. I've only ever bought revolvers, and the safety on those requires a little key, hence the fear of accidental discharge. I would't buy a pistol unless I knew them so well that I could take them apart and put them back together.

No worries, though. I sold all 3 guns I had last summer. I still have my ankle holster and a box of bullets, but that it.

*wags his trigger finger at Kpax*

This is your safety, son. Not a key that you can't get too fast enough when you actually need to use your concealed weapon.

I carry a S&W 37 (J frame, 5 shot snubbie) all the time and it is the safest thing in the universe... until you put your finger on the trigger.

Hahaha... the idea of somebody fumbling a key towards an ankle holster during a carjacking would be hilarious, though.

Too bad that you sold your guns. They never hurt anybody.

That's right, man... I'm gonna see if my Desert Eagle fits in your IWB... whether you like it or not!

Truth be told I only use Galco for my Kimber CDP, Even with the aluminum frame the weight seems to need a little extra support.
Otherwise I have a great old R.A.F jacket that holds any thing snugly and safely for casual concealment.
The only reason I don't use the softer Kydex is that they seem to be designed for someone who is hipless and have a greater testosterone level than I do. I ain't slammin guys, women are built different,it is difficult to find the correct fit.
