I'm under 6 ft. and slim and of course my first firearm was a glock 19. Basically too big for a slim guy to carry inconspicuously. That led me to this vid and led me to going to the shop and talking to the experts and trying different things, and learning a lot of things I didn't know. Nothing wrong with asking questions! Thanks again!

I don’t disagree with anything on the video, I shared it after seeing it and the highly beneficial level of info provided was a perfect sum up that I could point new ccw and everyday carry lifestyle and you hit the big examples but a lot of newcomers haven’t learned what is best fit for themselves yet. This can be a quality resource they can return to as they learn what meets their needs over time. I agree with the comment of abdominal carry not being appendix holsters being an all around poor option for me, but I think the reason it’s so common is the same as why he likes hip placed holsters without cant so the barrel is on target faster, the appendix carry provides that rapid on target speed without as much practice drawing. Again not my style either but that’s the only distinct benefit provided by them that I can see, but I have no clue if my guess is valid or not. Probably should get more info on them myself and find out so I have a better idea if asked. All around great content and appreciate the resource it provides!

Also a huge factor in holster selection is finding a holster that fits less common firearms, and still works great I personally run an Astra A-100, which is effectively about a 2.5 lb Sig P226. As you can imagine, finding a good holster when every Tom, Dick, and Harry mindlessly goes for a Glock 17, M&P Shield, or Springfield XD, is not easy. Since the A-100 is virtually identical in shape and size to a Sig P226, my odds were way better than if you went for something even more obscure. I came across a brand called "Tagua Gun Leather," and it's been working great as an IWB holster. Single piece of hardened leather folded over, pressed and cured to conform to the shape of a few similar models of Sigs, very nicely stitched with extra heavy thread, and the thread looks to have been coated with a waxy polymer to protect against fraying. The clip is about 2" wide, securely mounted, and has very strong retention (sometimes I have to struggle to get the holster off). It's so comfortable that I'll forget I'm wearing a holster with a 2.5 lb service pistol in it. The price was reasonable, too, at $45. Anyway, I think it's important for EDC that you find an affordable holster that's very comfortable. I probably would never spend more than $50 on a Kydex sheath, as $50 is already a massive rip-off as there's like what? 25 cents worth of material, and they're mass produced by the millions? I could see dropping $100-$200 on a REALLY nice, hand crafted leather holster made from the finest leather and built to last well beyond 2 lifetimes, but when it's molded plastic? C'mon, don't be a rube.

I bought one of the Urban Carry holsters that he talks about at the end of the video. I am 6'1" 230 pounds and wear a 38 pant. I can sit down and still pull the gun out. Tried it several times it still works. The only time it does not work is when you pull the belt too tight or wear too tight pants. It will still work with the pant too tight but it is harder. I don't use the Urban Carry all the time but it is handy. It all depends on what you prefer or were taught. Police and Military would prefer the 4 o'clock because that is what they use and are taught. Good video.

Kore really makes a great belt. I've never had a ratchet belt before, but thought the concept to be great. I then did some research on the various brands and found the Kore brand to be consistently rated as the highest quality in brand-to-brand comparisons. I believe those test comparisons to be true. These belts just "scream" quality. I have to say very impressed and am enjoying them immensely.

@moonbyul873 Жыл бұрын

As far as the kydex goes, I just flip the clips so it's IWB and if I want to carry outside the waistband I just layer it so it's "pants - Holster - belt." Then if I want, I can just tuck it in further and have it go "holster - pants - belt." Less fidgeting with the thing, and it allows you to use a singular holster for concealed and open carry in the matter of seconds.

@switchtr3 4 жыл бұрын

Great video, very informative. One thing I will disagree with though, even it the holster is all nylon, etc, you will never be able to "bend" it enough for a seatbelt buckle, table corner, a pen, or a child to press through the "fabric" and pull the trigger. It is softer than hard plastic (which isn't as smooth when sliding the gun in and out of for sure won't argue there) but not THAT soft to the point where the trigger can be pulled. It's still pretty darn thick and stiff despite not being a "hard" material. If your preference is to carry a full plastic holster that's totally understandable, but don't for a second even pretend that a nylon holster is flexible enough to allow an accidental trigger pull/discharge. If anything it's just more form fitting to your body. If you had no trigger guard you might be able to depress it enough, but in that roughly 1" space between the frame/guard you're not gonna be able to hook a table corner into it hard enough to pull the trigger, even if you fell on it with all your weight.

Great Educational video for the many options for one to carry. Notice to all other channels he does not tell you what you must use but explains the many carry options one has and it all comes down to personnel preference for the person who carries and not what is written in stone.

Very clear message on how to conceal carry in many different ways with different materials. And great demonstration too. But I like the 4 o’clock style, looks more comfortable even if you sit, bent and raise your knee or leg and thigh high, can do a situp, can crawl flat on the ground, easy pull for quick draw, and good when climbing that doesn’t hurt uour groin or pinch your appendix when bending. How about that!👍

Tom How do you like your raw dog holster?

@tomabbott9653 7 жыл бұрын

Real pleased with the company, the holster is just ok for me but it's not their fault. I have a Ruger SR9c Talo Edition which means the slide is slightly different than a standard SR9c. When I ordered the holster I wasn't thinking about that difference so when I got it the retention wasn't the greatest. To Raw Dog's credit they sent me a new holster free of charge and let me keep the old one too even though this really wasn't their fault. I'm using the Raw Dog for the time being because when I have it on, IWB, and my belt snugged up that pistol isn't going anywhere. I'll probably look for another holster some time later on. Again, I want to stress that this was not Raw Dog's fault, they sent me a holster for an SR9c, not the Talo Edition, but they still backed up the holster as if it was their fault, so kudos to them.

Long torso, short ass legs. Having hard time getting my iwb type holsters to be even slightly comfortable and my gut and muffin top get in the way of the draw. Almost ripped my gut open with the rear sights a few times. Any suggestions? Got a inside the pocket deal I been using but not a fan. I carry a G30s.

If you feel comfortable carrying in any fashion/position, as long as it's safe, it's good in my opinion. If all you can carry is a 380 in your pocket, it's much better than leaving the 45 at home that you couldn't conceal that day.
