This video was released on December 19th, yet Jeff leaves out the most important form of concealed carry for the season - this in inexplicable. John McClane's taping of a Beretta to (edit:) his back is not to be forgotten. Was Jeff just not into the Christmas spirit enough to shave his back to show us this form of concealed carry?
We can not stand for this blasphemy. Jeff in your journey to make the best holster any of us have ever experienced; in your time rising the social media ladder… how dare you sir. How double dog dare you forgot Mr. McClane.
I always appreciate the professionalism of language used where opinions are very polarizing. Words like “advantage”, “disadvantage”, “generally”, rather than just saying “best” or “worst”. Nuance and perspective is so important.
Shoulder holster could be useful on a motorcycle. Keeps a chunk of metal off your waist/pelvis in case of an accident. I usually carry appendix and was in an accident last year. I broke the triple tree with my legs/groin. I'm pretty sure if I was carrying that day I could've shattered my pelvis.
I opted for the shoulder holster, a Galco Miami classic model. I do this because I am sitting in my truck driving around all day with only occasional stops. It's a trickier thing in hot weather due to needing to conceal the harness, but this setup allows me easy access to my gun if I end up needing it when I am in my vehicle. It's also very comfortable once you get the harness adjusted right. I also have my IWB for my revolver, which is also very comfortable.
Good points. I liked his mention of the cross draw waist holster. Looks comfortable and accessible when driving, and is below most people's line of sight. When Thu get out of your vehicle you could put on a cover garment, or button/zip something you might already have on.
I'd say 80% of the time I am pocket carrying. I never leave home without a pistol, but we aren't allowed to carry at work. I usually stop for coffee on my way to work, and some of my local convenience stores can be pretty sketchy at 3am, so I slip my little Kahr CW380 in my pocket when I leave the house, and lock it in a lockbox in my car when I get to work.
I drove cab for several years back in the ‘80’s and needed immediate access to my gun while sitting down. I normally carry IWB positioned behind the right hip, but there’s not much slower when you’re sitting and wearing a seatbelt, and after 12 hour shifts you start to feel the butt of the pistol in your kidney. I carried a Walther PPK/S with Super-Vel HP’s in an old Bianchi 210 medium shoulder holster, and the beautiful part is that when sitting the butt of the pistol was literally 2” from my vest coat inside pocket where I kept my wallet. If someone insisted on my wallet they were quickly presented with something else without my having to unbuckle and lean forward to access an IWB holster. Especially if you’re a big guy like me where the seat belt post is interfering with your hand clearance, and appendix carry is impossible. These days if driving a long distance I carry a G19 in an old Galco (Jackass leather) Miami Vice rig for the same reason. It’s comfortable and the butt of the pistol is right there. Thanks for the overview! 👍
Good video. I’ve been 99.9% appendix for about 8 years now, haven’t looked back. Recently I’ve been experimenting with a .32 in the pocket for those times where nothing else works (say jogging shirtless or doing heavy yardwork). I’m still working on the skills associated though.
Recently shot a couple mags through a buddy's LCP Max. Very pleasant shooting gun, and great capacity. Unfortunately trying to do sprints or heavy exercise with an LCP in the pocket left me with a pretty heavy bruise on my leg. The .32 works perfectly in this role, at 9.5oz loaded it's over a quarter pound less weight and significantly smaller than an LCP Max. It's a belly gun for sure. I can shoot alphas at 10 yards with it if I focus, but that's not really what this gun is for. It's fantastic for retention shooting out of the pocket, .65-.75 draws are very easy from the pocket, and it shines at 3-5 yards. If I'm not doing something heavy physical like that, I'll just step up to a 9mm carried in the appendix position like I always do.@@workingguy6666
@@tenicorusa Have 95 year old colt 1903 Hammerless 32 ACP inherited it about 10 yrs ago No FTF as long as I've had it great little gun Al Capone carried one in the 30's
I've been pocket carrying for 11 years. Those small frame pistols are hard to get enough meat on them to tame the snappy recoil but for the last year I've been carrying and LCP Max and love it. Easily my favorite gun that I've carried.
The LCP series is awesome, my partner pocket carries one and I'm thinking about getting one for myself since hers fits under my skirts a lot better than my ppk/s lol
Walking in winter when its really cold, I have used a hill people gear chest pack. Quick to access and gun is hidden as well as a fanny pack but better supported and way harder to get off me. I can wear it while driving. Lap belt shoulder harness does not interfere. I put a DA/SA pistol in it and a spare mag. Only use it when I am in a total outdoor setting in very cold weather. If I had to head inside to eat etc I would take along a j-frame in my pants pocket and speed loader or a .380 and spare mag pocket carry. Lock the chest pack in the trunk. Put it back on when heading outside.
Love this video and the thought into every carry position scenario. I personally ride a motorcycle 90% of the year and in this case shoulder carry works amazing here as wearing a vest or jacket covers the torso well but not necessarily the belt line which can come up raising your arms. The other benefit here is most shoulder rigs carry 2 spare mags on the opposite side which is nice from a capacity perspective for a 1911 as most people rarely have an extra on their person. Outside of riding, IWB at either the 4oclock or appendix location is superior majority of the time.
Shoulder holster since spine surgery I can't keep weight on my hips and I usually need a back brace on. I had to stop carrying until I found the shoulder rig that spreads the weight on my shoulder and upper back without adding much stress on lower back. Only positions I have found that I can carry are shoulder, chest, or drop leg/thigh,
I just picked up the 43x and currently carrying around 4 o’clock but occasional carry left front appendix about 11 o’clock. Great video brotha. Now subbed. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Shoulder holsters are very useful for people who do a lot of driving. It doesn't interfere with seatbelts and is easy to draw while sitting. I'm a delivery driver and I carry appendix while driving and it sucks and it's stupid and I hate it. lol I'm always worried that if I'm in a crash the seatbelt is going to crush the holster into me and cause an injury where there wouldn't have been otherwise. That's not a worry with a shoulder holster. What is though is flagging everyone around me... and that slower draw. :/
Been pocket carrying from day one. DeSantis Nemesis holsters are my go to. And it is accurate to say that the pocket size is key. In cooler months, I can wear some cargo work pants that have BIG pockets. I can carry a Shield Plus in my pocket without issue.
That also works with shoulder carry, criminals are looking at their audience for movements in the usual areas, shoulder carry not being common can be confused with a bystander just looking on with arms crossed in a non threatening manner.
The one time that I felt a threat, I stood close to the back of my truck with my hand in my pocket and gripping my P365. There were three potential peeps hiding behind a big propane tank at a gas station. I left quickly after enough gas was in the tank to get me down the road. But on reflection I felt undergunned and switched my edc to a Glock 30.
my favorite is my shoulder holster its a VERTICAL ROTO SHOULDER HOLSTER by craft holsters it rotates 45 degrees from vertical to horizontal its my only holster i use!!!
Pocket carry for me is I’m not sure if there is a threat I can put my had in pocket and be ready if it was nothing continue on my way. Can’t do that with out brandishing in others positions
A shoulder holster allows you to carry a rather large gun with tucked in shirt. It is also accessible in any position while being very stable. Similarly pocket carry is an any situation mode with no concern for looking inappropriately casual with tails out and also allows discreet prestaging.
I could see the shoulder holster for carrying a large gun as a secondary. I could also see either the ankle or shoulder holster as an option for someone who spends a lot of time driving, and the seat belt could cause issues with the cover garment.
I love fanny pack carry for my Glock 43 at the gym or on hikes. Unfortunately, I have to take off the fanny pack for ab exercises, so I'm frequently just putting it around the machine I'm using so nobody can snatch the bag and run. I use a clipdraw trigger sheath to protect the trigger and connect it to a tie down. It is still quite comfortable while driving.
I do a hybrid of aiwb and cross draw. So I’m right handed and I carry on my left side appendix. It’s amazing! For a small framed guy like me (5’10”, 180 lbs) it allows for my Glock 34 grip to hide perfectly along my belly
@@adammartin880 real recognize real! If ur ever interested on a good large frame ccw setup check out the armadillo concealment Lux Extended. Sage dynamics has a fantastic video that made me go this route. It connects to the light on your gun not the gun itself. So I can use my 34 for everyday ccw and my Glock 44 for practice at the range. That mixed with a fantastic ccw belt like a cigura completely Houdini’s that sucker. Not sure if you have a gut or not but I’m sure that would complicate it all. Took about 30 days to get over the chafing in my groin and abdomen and then it became a sensation I feel naked without. People always gripe about how uncomfortable carry is, I have learned to replace “comfort” with comforting. A Glock 34 with a tlr 1 and rmr and a 17round mag on my belt as a backup is so much more confronting than any p365, G42, shield, XDS, or anything else I’ve ever carried the last decade.
Not if you’re my size it isn’t! I’m 6’8” and 300 lbs, and all appendix carry would do for me is to remove something irreplaceable below the belt! As a driver for several years up to 12-13 hours a day seated, nothing is more practical or comfortable or faster to access than a shoulder holster. Once I get up though, then it’s IWB for me, but I could never get comfortable with appendix carry regardless. Just behind my right hip and I forget it’s there. I wish I had the body type for appendix, because that would cover both driving and out of the car.
I find having multiple options is important though, or at least one other option... Most of the time I prefer shoulder carry(yes im one of the weird ones) but depending on what im wearing it's not always an option. Got myself a nice comfortable jacket to wear in most weather for most outings that works well for shoulder carry.
I like belly bands when its not too hot out but that rarely happens down here. I only use one when I'm wearing bottoms without belt loops so its better than nothing.
How do you ignore small of the back? That’s my daily go to with a tuckable holster. Every carry position has pros and cons, but being able to carry in a professional environment with a tucked dress shirt is key for me. Comes with the disadvantage of 1 more second required to untuck my shirt (I can’t avoid that regardless of carry position), but that’s a risk I accept given my environment and the vastly more likely situation of being secondary to a conflict versus grappling with an attacker, again, in my environment. Also, on the point of training, every single day when I undress, and also on range days which include firing, I untuck and draw to practice that motion and honestly 1 whole second is a gross overstatement as with practice the untuck (simultaneously with the opposite hand) isn’t even noticeable. Reaching around back is less comfortable than reaching to a waist, but at least for me, only slightly so.
I'm sorry but the small of the back is one of the worst positions to carry if it's in your waste, slow draw, everyone in a 2 mile radius knows your drawing and your dead before it even leaves the holster. Sorry your take is bad.
@@wayneknopp5525 completely understand your position if the only scenario you’re considering is a one on one movie style draw down. Which does happen of course. But not nearly as often as situations where you have the 1.3 seconds required to draw from SOB.
I carry a P365x in pocket carry every day in a Versacarry Pocket holster (front right pocket) with a secondary mag in a Neomag clip (back left pocket). It is by far my favorite method of carry because it is by far the most comfortable. Works great and people are always shocked when I let them know I am carrying. Only shorts/pants with the smallest pockets do not work.
@@dean7673 No. It has fit in every short/pant I have bought. The only problem I have ever had is that In some shorter golfing shorts (Callaway) you can see the backstrap of the gun if you are looking for it. For what it's worth, Hickok45 and Coch from Tactical Hyve also pocket carry it sometimes. Hickok45 uses an Alabama Holsters pocket Holster, and Coch uses a Vedder pocket holster. I'd start there as Versacarry has discontinued the pocket holster I use.
For the P365 I pocket carry in a kydex inserted into an Uncle Mikes or a Sticky holster. A good choice is a pair of Bass Pro Red Head cargo shorts which have an ample pocket. With those I also carry a Glock 30 as well as an HK P2000SK .40 SW.
Many manufacturers of cargo pants such as 5.11 tactical CAN sufficiently pocket carry and conceal a 9mm such as a Glock 43. Also, if you add on a rubber grip it makes the draw more consistent and smoother. It is a tactically sound style, it just needs the correct clothes and correct gear, along with practice in drawing the firearm from the pocket as opposed to drawing from the hip. The benefits include never having to worry about printing or firearm visibility in left-leaning areas, along with greater adherence to everyday carry philosophy.
I found some of those positions are difficult for larger people. I go with a shoulder holster but have at times gone with my hip holster but if I have to actually cover it up then it is better and not dig into my side like most IWB holsters or side holsters. But when I am out riding my 4 wheeler or bike I use a drop leg holster just for the fact it is easier to pull out if needed then having to try and go inside tighter fitting riding gear.
Position of conceal carry is very personal bc everyone is shaped differently and have different physical characteristics. I’m 78 and cross carry inside waist band. Reason: I’m right handed although I’m almost as accurate left handed as right which I think more people should practice bc if wounded in right arm/hand and also being able to fire from left side of conceal/cover; I’m not as flexible as I was in my 30s so harder to raise right shoulder for right side inside or outside carry plus it draws more attention to you when drawing bc your shoulder sticks up. Appendix carry is uncomfortable when sitting unless you have a six-pack.
I know a few people who shoulder holster carry because of their body time. They have a little of extra fluff around the edges that makes waistband carry uncomfortable.
Opinions of someone sold on kydex holsters, which are the most uncomfortable holsters ever produced.. None of these options are obsolete. The best one is the one that you are most comfortable and train with.
I carry a Glock 43X and a Glock 26 in a sticky holster in my Levi jeans pocket. Its very comfortable and easy to get my handgun out of my pocket when I need it. Please confirm Jeff that you read my comment.. Very informative and excellent video.
Shoulder holster is handy in a car or otherwise when seated. It requires dedication and I don’t use it much. It’s also useful for old guys that have to pee every ten minutes.
When it comes to carry I will super glue it to my upper back if I had to. I live in Beautiful Texas where Open and Concealed is legal. I bought a Leather Dress belt and a $10 leather holster and carry cross draw with belt sitting on second rib. I carry a heavy .45 and two extra extended Mags. I made a video. I don't post links. It's on YT.
Have a Certum lux 2 for my 19X n love it. Any chance y’all will be releasing any line of holsters for FN in 2024? Just bought a 545 n would love to pair it with any tenicor for that matter
We haven't tested that exact model but 2011/1911 holsters are universal fit and fit most 1911s. Your 4.15 heritage will most likely fit. Check it out here: bit.ly/41rSDFX 🤙
Cross/Calvary draw come from the Calvaries of both the United States Army and the Confederate States Army during the Civil War. It's the best carry method if you drive a car and carry on your person. Because this method is the least used it's least expected you'll pull out a gun when you reach for the 9 or 10 O'Clock position. Off body carry is preferred by the younger generation using a small sling bag across the chest as shown @12:12 but the younger generation isn't normally using a bag with a dedicated holster instead it's a designer bag.
a side selector safety is also not the end all be all its redundancy they can and do fail so yes that trigger guard should be covered even if its not a trigger safety.
We generally steer clear. It's difficult to access, tends to print a lot, and can potentially result in pretty serious injury if you fall on your back (which would not be unusual in a fight).
Glock 26 carries in my pocket just fine wouldn't even know it was there super comfortable also.. also carry my 365 XL in my pocket.. I carry this way on days I don't feel like being uncomfortable
And there's really nothing to replace shoulder carry.. You tried to compare shoulder carry to waste carry and then say that waste carry makes shoulder carry outdated lol completely makes no sense lol😂
Unfortunately it is a buy once cry once type of deal. My tenicor holster and zero belt combo ran me close to $200 but they work exceptionally well and I don't see replacing them in the future, besides more tenicor holsters. And their customer service is top notch.
I’m thinking about ankle carry at work when I’m on job sites since I wear jeans and cowboy boots so off my pants come up my boots are still covering the holster and gun but hip carry for every day anyone have good advice or and opinion to share about my idea?
Do you have a recommendation for carrying while riding a bicycle? Wearing form fitting clothing most of the time. I guess I might need a dedicated bag attached to the bike.
They have specific fanny packs or bags that can be put around your back or chest that are made to store a fun securely and they make it fast to get out compared to regular bags

Totally disagree. Seated position is one of the main reasons to go to a 3-4 o'clock IWB. Might work if you are a skinny girl.

I like belly bands when its not too hot out but that rarely happens down here. I only use one when I'm wearing bottoms without belt loops so its better than nothing.
How do you ignore small of the back? That’s my daily go to with a tuckable holster. Every carry position has pros and cons, but being able to carry in a professional environment with a tucked dress shirt is key for me. Comes with the disadvantage of 1 more second required to untuck my shirt (I can’t avoid that regardless of carry position), but that’s a risk I accept given my environment and the vastly more likely situation of being secondary to a conflict versus grappling with an attacker, again, in my environment. Also, on the point of training, every single day when I undress, and also on range days which include firing, I untuck and draw to practice that motion and honestly 1 whole second is a gross overstatement as with practice the untuck (simultaneously with the opposite hand) isn’t even noticeable. Reaching around back is less comfortable than reaching to a waist, but at least for me, only slightly so.
"rage days"
@@tenicorusa😂. Well, it’s not exactly wrong…
😂
I'm sorry but the small of the back is one of the worst positions to carry if it's in your waste, slow draw, everyone in a 2 mile radius knows your drawing and your dead before it even leaves the holster. Sorry your take is bad.
@@wayneknopp5525 completely understand your position if the only scenario you’re considering is a one on one movie style draw down. Which does happen of course. But not nearly as often as situations where you have the 1.3 seconds required to draw from SOB.
Thanks for another great video! Loving my new Velo4. 👍
Glad you like it and we appreciate the support!
Love your videos Jeff!
Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate the support! 🤙
I carry a P365x in pocket carry every day in a Versacarry Pocket holster (front right pocket) with a secondary mag in a Neomag clip (back left pocket). It is by far my favorite method of carry because it is by far the most comfortable. Works great and people are always shocked when I let them know I am carrying. Only shorts/pants with the smallest pockets do not work.
I just bought the same gun and the salesman did not recommend a pocket carry holster. Do you need really big pockets for this?
@@dean7673 No. It has fit in every short/pant I have bought. The only problem I have ever had is that In some shorter golfing shorts (Callaway) you can see the backstrap of the gun if you are looking for it. For what it's worth, Hickok45 and Coch from Tactical Hyve also pocket carry it sometimes. Hickok45 uses an Alabama Holsters pocket Holster, and Coch uses a Vedder pocket holster. I'd start there as Versacarry has discontinued the pocket holster I use.
For the P365 I pocket carry in a kydex inserted into an Uncle Mikes or a Sticky holster. A good choice is a pair of Bass Pro Red Head cargo shorts which have an ample pocket. With those I also carry a Glock 30 as well as an HK P2000SK .40 SW.
Great information
Many manufacturers of cargo pants such as 5.11 tactical CAN sufficiently pocket carry and conceal a 9mm such as a Glock 43. Also, if you add on a rubber grip it makes the draw more consistent and smoother. It is a tactically sound style, it just needs the correct clothes and correct gear, along with practice in drawing the firearm from the pocket as opposed to drawing from the hip. The benefits include never having to worry about printing or firearm visibility in left-leaning areas, along with greater adherence to everyday carry philosophy.
I can have my pocket carry gun out and sighted before my friend has even touched the butt of his Glock on his hip at 3 o’clock.
I use a shoulder holster when I am wearing sweat pants and a light jacket.
My take away. Think through your needs and if you have more than one method then practice enough to be proficient.
Exactly 👍
Great professional video .i too have a chanel but of gaming and I think the smooth editing x background etc..taught me something
🔥
Great stuff. 🤘🤘
I found some of those positions are difficult for larger people. I go with a shoulder holster but have at times gone with my hip holster but if I have to actually cover it up then it is better and not dig into my side like most IWB holsters or side holsters. But when I am out riding my 4 wheeler or bike I use a drop leg holster just for the fact it is easier to pull out if needed then having to try and go inside tighter fitting riding gear.
Position of conceal carry is very personal bc everyone is shaped differently and have different physical characteristics. I’m 78 and cross carry inside waist band. Reason: I’m right handed although I’m almost as accurate left handed as right which I think more people should practice bc if wounded in right arm/hand and also being able to fire from left side of conceal/cover; I’m not as flexible as I was in my 30s so harder to raise right shoulder for right side inside or outside carry plus it draws more attention to you when drawing bc your shoulder sticks up. Appendix carry is uncomfortable when sitting unless you have a six-pack.
I know a few people who shoulder holster carry because of their body time. They have a little of extra fluff around the edges that makes waistband carry uncomfortable.
I often carry with a shoulder holster. Sometimes I don't feel like wearing a belt or just because it is comfortable for me
I’d buy tenicor right now if they had one for my P07
Opinions of someone sold on kydex holsters, which are the most uncomfortable holsters ever produced..
None of these options are obsolete. The best one is the one that you are most comfortable and train with.
I carry a Glock 43X and a Glock 26 in a sticky holster in my Levi jeans pocket. Its very comfortable and easy to get my handgun out of my pocket when I need it. Please confirm Jeff that you read my comment.. Very informative and excellent video.
Confirmed.

solid video dawg!!
Appreciate the support 👍
Shoulder holster is handy in a car or otherwise when seated. It requires dedication and I don’t use it much. It’s also useful for old guys that have to pee every ten minutes.
Carrying a Mac11 in a Sega Game Gear fanny pack remains peak performance.
When it comes to carry I will super glue it to my upper back if I had to. I live in Beautiful Texas where Open and Concealed is legal. I bought a Leather Dress belt and a $10 leather holster and carry cross draw with belt sitting on second rib. I carry a heavy .45 and two extra extended Mags. I made a video. I don't post links. It's on YT.
When it comes to otw cross draw I feel that even being more vulnerable it was my fastest draw time
Have a Certum lux 2 for my 19X n love it. Any chance y’all will be releasing any line of holsters for FN in 2024? Just bought a 545 n would love to pair it with any tenicor for that matter
We don't currently have FN in our list of guns to expand to in 2024 but a year is a long time to make stuff happen. 🤙
If you got a Glock 40mos 10mm it’s kinda nice to have a chest/side mount holster.
Please make a Certum 3 for the staccato p 4.15 heritage
We haven't tested that exact model but 2011/1911 holsters are universal fit and fit most 1911s. Your 4.15 heritage will most likely fit.

Appendix carry in winter. Off-body cross bag in summer.
👍
My favorite is the prison wallet carry
Along with a NY reload🤣🤣🤣
Nice vid man
We appreciate it. 🤙
Cross/Calvary draw come from the Calvaries of both the United States Army and the Confederate States Army during the Civil War.
It's the best carry method if you drive a car and carry on your person.
Because this method is the least used it's least expected you'll pull out a gun when you reach for the 9 or 10 O'Clock position.
Off body carry is preferred by the younger generation using a small sling bag across the chest as shown @12:12 but the younger generation isn't normally using a bag with a dedicated holster instead it's a designer bag.
Missed the brassiere clip and the thigh garter holster....
Miss Kitty's good ol' Sweaty Titty gun!
a side selector safety is also not the end all be all its redundancy they can and do fail so yes that trigger guard should be covered even if its not a trigger safety.
💯
I Appendix carry due to mainly I have Hip issues and a bad shoulder i'm a left handed shooter
What about IWB in the small of your back?
We generally steer clear. It's difficult to access, tends to print a lot, and can potentially result in pretty serious injury if you fall on your back (which would not be unusual in a fight).
Does anyone know the type of watch the speaker has on?
SEIKO SRPD27 Prospex AKA “Monster”
I have seen many people carry on IWB on the lower back. It just never made any sense to me. What do you think?
Pull over hoodies are the only con to shoulder holsters of 2024
As a pastor I carry in a shoulder holster, as I tend to wear a lot of jackets.
Not unreasonable but a good concealment IWB or OWB holster would still be our preference in a suit.
Cross draw IWB all day
Glock 26 carries in my pocket just fine wouldn't even know it was there super comfortable also.. also carry my 365 XL in my pocket.. I carry this way on days I don't feel like being uncomfortable
You must have the biggest pockets out there my man.
@@Kh2456 not really just normal pants 👖
@@Kh2456I live in cargo shorts and do the same. I carry the 365 as well as a 26, 30 and an HK .40.
What about the bra holsters that clip to the front center of the bra being convealed under breast? Seems a good place to have it not seen at least
And there's really nothing to replace shoulder carry.. You tried to compare shoulder carry to waste carry and then say that waste carry makes shoulder carry outdated lol completely makes no sense lol😂
I always carry ankle carry, but only as a backup weapon, never my primary weapon.
Just wish the enigma was cheaper. Trying to spend $200 for a hokster chassis is just absurd. It should be no more than $140
Unfortunately it is a buy once cry once type of deal. My tenicor holster and zero belt combo ran me close to $200 but they work exceptionally well and I don't see replacing them in the future, besides more tenicor holsters. And their customer service is top notch.
Appreciate the support! 👍
Excuse me, are you appendix carrying or just happy to see me?
seatbelts fit over sling bags!!! That Vertx sling will not fit anything else except maybe a wallet, if there is a firearm in the CC pocket...
I’m thinking about ankle carry at work when I’m on job sites since I wear jeans and cowboy boots so off my pants come up my boots are still covering the holster and gun but hip carry for every day anyone have good advice or and opinion to share about my idea?
Good thing about cross draw, not flashing your gun while reaching for wallet or keys
What would be a good way for someone in a wheelchair to carry
Probably 3 o clock or Appendix. Whatever is comfortable when sitting.
Do you have a recommendation for carrying while riding a bicycle? Wearing form fitting clothing most of the time. I guess I might need a dedicated bag attached to the bike.
They have specific fanny packs or bags that can be put around your back or chest that are made to store a fun securely and they make it fast to get out compared to regular bags
Kenai chest holster
Mine is kindof an odd one to people. I carry 4 oclock in a left handed holster.😂
I don’t understand how people appendix carry. It’s so uncomfortable when sitting down. I carry about 4 o’clock.
Depends on body type but with the right holster you can carry a full-size handgun all day in comfort (sitting, standing, whatever).
I suppose my carry is even more uncommon, didn't even hint at it in this video.
Link for that phany pack tho 😮
What’s that first holster?
The video would have been great. I would love have heard everything being said. The background music obscured the speakers voice. Nice job guys.
We'll dial it in. Thanks for the feedback. 🤙
What do you think about the VNSH holster? Thanks in advance!
Haven't used one.
First time I've ever heard an ex-cop express an actual understanding of firearms
😂
What’s an alternative to suit jackets?
For those of you people who can open carry try cross draw in the pocket
Is that a Glock in your pocket or are you just happy to see me.
I use a shoulder holster i would not have a gun on my body thst i csnt see
I think a lot if helicopter pilots were shoulder carry holders as it is easier when flying the helicopter if they are law enforcement or military
Interesting use case for sure.
People roast cross draw while carrying with a loaded firearm pointed directly at their junk 🤣
The only thing I find shoulder holster useful for is riding my motorcycle
