      ​@@NubaHuba Ban guns, huh? As if you think that would keep criminals from obtaining guns?
      Just like the prohibition on drugs in the US has been working out so well for public safety too, right?. Drugs are banned. So how are people getting drugs? The only thing prohibiting guns in the US would do is prohibit law-abiding people from obtaining them.
      Let me put this another way. But in my own personal shoes, in real-life circumstances which I, and many others live in.
      Me, being some person in his late 20's has a 3D printer. My siblings and I have built multiple handguns (among them 1911's and Glocks) (with and without the printer, all legally) without any professional experience. Ban guns, and people like myself (but without the morals and principles) will just take over the market. Manufacturing guns is not rocket science. ESPECIALLY nowadays with the proliferation of technology. But hey! Maybe we should regulate plastic and steel too! No buying PLA or round steel bar-stock without a license! Anything made of steel must have a serial number on it! 3D printers! Banned! Drill presses! Banned! Brass sheet! Banned!
      Not to mention the one thing people so conveniently leave out which is arguably the most important... Gun violence in this country has a million different causes precipitating it, far before even mentioning guns themselves. But no one wants to talk about that! (*cough* War on drugs)...
      I think it's great that you gave up your guns because you realized you were a paranoid individual. But not everyone is you, and the majority of people here do not live in fear. Most people would be hard pressed to even just recall anyone being shot in their lifetime. I have a friend who was once shot, but that was in Afghanistan. Yea, they exist, but there are 330+ million people in this country..

      @@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917 The sad truth is that you can never get rid of guns in America because its so ingrained into the culture of the US, I'm not going to sit hear and corner my argument to a blatant fact, I'm realistic to the fact isn't not as easy as a gun ban. But given you're from SF like myself, most the people in the bay that I know getting Illegal guns go to a place like Nevada to legally buy mods and high capacity magazines. I think our counties balances of background checks are completely wack from a state on state basis. Now for the 3d printer debate its a Pandora's box forsure, we are already seeing gang / Drug cartels using 3d printed guns, so maybe don't hold your breath when talking about regulation of steel lol
      The truth is, the gun paranoia that I'm talking about is at the root of gun culture in America, most people in American own guns for reason like security or this framework that somehow they can stop Government tyranny, its 100% a paranoia.

    A year ago I bought a Kimber Micro 9 for concealed carry and it came with a nylon IWB right handed holster. I'm a big guy and I'm already cramming enough inside this waistband so I decided to utilize it as a pocket holster instead. And it works well for me. The clip fits tightly on the outside of the pocket and doesn't go anywhere when I pull the gun out of it. So that's how I carry. I wear a long t-shirt to cover it and the whole setup just feels most natural and ergonomic for me. Your mileage may vary.

    @thomasmoje5926 5 років тому +3

    My personal defense carry firearm is a Ruger LCP .380, and I use a DeSantis size G1 pocket holster. That combination works very well. Normally does not 'print' when carried in my right trouser pocket (unless I'm wearing tight fitting trousers or shorts). I can pull the pistol out cleanly and the holster stays in my pocket, and the pistol operates exactly like a double-action revolver, that is: pull the trigger and it fires. No safety button to worry about. The Ruger LCP is 'double action only'. It can be safely carried with a round in the chamber due to it's long trigger pull to fire the first round. That and the DeSantis holster covers the trigger so I'm confident in carrying the Ruger ready to go with a round in the chamber. Hickok 45 you and Paul Harrell have the best firearms videos on UA-cam.

    I have discovered another use for an extra pocket holster and that is to carry extra magazines. A pocket holster made for a pistol with a laser can also very snugly carry a couple extra magazines with one slightly higher than the other. This just gives another option for carrying them. My jacket has two very deep zippered pockets. The one on the right holds my LCP max in a pocket holster and the left pocket has a pocket holster for a laser equipped LCP that very nicely holds two 12 round magazines. This also balances out the weight on each side of my jacket. I normally keep both pockets zipped so that nothing falls out when getting in and out of the car. This may not work for many people but I find it convenient for me and a better way to carry the extra magazines. This only works if the magazines fit snugly so they don't come out of the pocket holster before you need them.

    I used to pocket carry a Ruger SR40c. I wear nothing but classic fit dress pants, so the pockets are slippery and fairly big because of how they fit. Because of the pocket design, a holster designed to hook the pocket never unsheathed it. I went with a DeSantis SuperFly that grips the pocket as it comes out and it allows me to draw it perfectly. Just got a Ruger LCP II w/ Veridian laser and ordered another SuperFly. They cover the trigger, fit phenomenally for a sheath holster, and it has a pocket protector that's reversible to make it ambidextrous!

    Great video. On that note I seen a guy the other day with a 1911 pocket carrying in his back pocket. I was shocked all sticking out his pocket like a big chain wallet NO holster. Perhaps you have done a video on this but a good topic would be weapon retention. Not only do you not want it to fall out or carry in a manner where someone could take it from you.

      @@michaelweyer5702 are you actually comfortable carrying a polymer .357magnum? one that you have shot 2000 rounds through before you actually carried it? I guess you like the 580lbs/ft (weak AF) factory loads that are much worse than the off-the-shelf 357magnum if you buy a box of antique ammo. My Underwood or Buffalo Bore 357 will produce 750+ lbs/ft energy but you can only shoot it with a (real) steel-framed .357magnum (as they were designed). I don't mean to burst your bubble, but that LCR in .357 handicaps you to 50% of the potential of your chosen cartridge.

    Pocket carry is mainly a warm weather thing for me, and I've found that cargo shorts that are dark-colored or patterned (camo, plaid, etc.) go a long way in helping to break up any printing, especially if I'm carrying something a bit larger like a Glock 43.

    Since 2/3 of the draw time is grip acquisition, the pocket holster is just about the fastest concealed carry method, presuming the the shooter has his / her hand already on the weapon when the fat hits the fire. The problem with pocket carry is that it is difficult to draw one’s weapon when seated, especially when seated in an automobile with the seat belt fastened.

Well there was one that every time we went out to shoot some arrows would run over and chase the arrows as we shot them. He was also the best fetch player in existence if he brought you a rock and you threw it into a pile of rocks he would dig around until he found the exact rock with his spittle on it.

I then stitched it up and stitched it onto my overall bib on the inside and put a couple of rivets in it just to help out and now I can conceal that thing pretty easily and if need to get ahold of it quickly it's no problem.

A .380 auto sized, single stack magazine. And one that a large size for double stack magazines. The larger Mag-Packer can accommodate a single stack 1911 magazine. The Mag-Packer is fairly tight when new. It will fit your magazine after a break-in period.

    Guys I love guns, not the killing part of them but engineering and sporting part. I love shooting guns on a shooting range or 3 miles outside populated area (that is a law in my country) because that's the thing that relaxes me and a way that I release excess stress. But in my country even though gun related crimes are fairly common for a population of 7 million citizens, carrying a gun legitimately is nearly impossible if you are not a high court judge or a policeman or a civil security employee (doing any kind of police work). Does having a law that allows carrying a gun actually lowers gun violence or makes you feel safer if you know that everyone could have one?
