Your favorite way to carry concealed...and why?
I'm recently licensed to carry concealed, but have not had the experience to chose my prefered location to conceal or method/holster in the summertime hot weather yet.
I'll be using two setups alternately....one with my midsized pistols, and another for my subcompacts(all relatively same general polymer frame shapes--just varying in length a bit...but all 40 cal.(I have nothing with large frames like a 1911, except possibly mr Beretta cougar which is too bulky in summerwear). I'm thinking probably of hiding it inside my pants, behind my back.
Since I'm new at this, I don't want to spend lots of money for high quality holsters, until I truly decide for sure where(on my body) and what model I'll carry mostly. So would like a lower priced ones for starters.
My questions are: WHERE is your prefered body location to conceal...and where is the best place to find reasonably priced "beginner's" holsters to try(without initial sizable investment)?

Small of the back, neoprene pancake holster inside the waistband. I can carry most any handgun there with shirt tail out (or sport coat) without discomfort or printing.
It is comfortable for me and I carry, generally, bigger guns.
Small of the back is also easy for me to draw.0 -
People carry the way they do because it's what works best ..for them.
I open carry (legal here in Mo.) with crossdraw holster. I carry
crossdraw because that's what works best...for me.0 -
i know, it is an individual preference basically because of the cloths worn, and ease of the grip retieval quickly in an effortless way.
I'd just like to know WHY for each of you...because some are awquard to your hand? or why, please?
Polite Psycho....I only own 40 cal. for added takedown punch, but not much more recoil that than 9mm....AND I'm reloading, and want to keep the process simple to fit all my various sized handguns. I Use 40 cal. just exclusively for those reasons.0 -
I, so far, always carry in a belt holster right side. I always wear shirts/T-shirts outside my jeans (not tucked in). Usually carry a Walther PPKS---sometimes my S&W 36.
For holsters (good quality, economical) check out Ray's Holsters--here
I've purchased from them a couple of times and have been pleased.0 -
I carry these, the P2000sk in a Galco Concealable, strong side 4:00 and the Seecamp in a Desantis Nemisis in a front pocket or coat pocket.
