This dude cracks me up how old school he comes off. He looks like a 1950's shop class teacher whose super dry, straightforward, but every once in awhile gets quiet and very intense as he stares out of the classroom window thinking back on his darkest day in the Ardennes in '44... 💀

And that hairstyle and shirt doesn't help......lol
Uncle flannel just needs to wear a pair of GI glasses - not the lenses, just the frames.

Since switching to appendix IWB carry, I've had two accidental discharges. Luckily, my Glock 19 never fired.
Do you reload?
At first reading it I was like wow this guy is an idiot and needs to get training then I finished the sentence and I could not stop laughing. 😂🤣😂🤣
There goes the sexy Jaguar talk
Clever girl
Hehe
Who are you calling awkward? I don't even carry spaghetti in my pockets anymore.
J K how about meatballs?
Gotta make room for that pocket sand
Raviolis are in now!!!

Yeah me too but I do find hamburgers in my jacket pocket sometimes.
The comments in this dude's videos are substantially more entertaining than any professionally produced comedic routine.
How did it get that way? New to the channel and love the content, but started in on the comments and was like, are these all his buddies or did it just organically turn into this?
❤️ it! Lol
Chris Rhoads yeah this comment section is basically the product of lack of fathers in the household and bad financial mistakes throughout life. I would say it’s pretty organic.
@@roelrodriguez5024 good golly it's disturbing and entertaining.
@@crhoads1024 Many gun videos have a lot of good humor. Honestly I think it's because many gun people are also not ones to be overly sensitive like the joke police on the other side of the spectrum. This allows the comments to be more humorous because the subject matter tends to draw in people that can actually handle messing around with each other.
I'm 6'4" and near 300 lbs and love my skinny jeans. Okay, okay, they aren't that skinny, but they make me feel pretty.
Worldwide Bushcraft & Survival but really bro, at 6'4" 300lbs., I'd bet ALL jeans are skinny jeans on you, haha.
True that. ;-)
Worldwide Bushcraft & Survival , I'm 6'6" 275 and only feel pretty when fondling my H&K P30 while watching Garand thumb
Name droppin bro? Are there other pistols besides HKs? We all now the "mass" wants glocks, but hey at one point everyone wanted Honda Civics too

"Extra material" = tactical muffin top.
It's ok to have a little ballistic jelly up front.

lol was talking about his dick. feeling guilty? hit the gym
@@nakedzebra67 that would make no sense.
@@markbyrd7710 wearing a tuck away up front makes no sense?
Tight pants = Tight groups
So tighter pants, tighter groups?
lol ! ! Right On ! !

The comment section is the best part of these videos.
The Rhodesians had the right idea. Tighter shorts, tighter groupings.
Just FYI not all Marines love red crayons. I prefer purple cuz I like grapes.
I enjoy your videos and your knowledge base is very respectable. keep it up
Purple is too tart for me.
Jon and Gwen I only eat red, white, and blue
Is it sad how much this comment made me laugh with tears? I was picturing it..
A box of Crayolas. Marine Skittles.

Man I didn't know Mike Rowe did gun review stuff when he was younger. I knew I liked that guy.
Just doing my best
+Garand Thumb doing a great job keep it up.👍
The truth behind Mike Rowe is that he doesn't do any work but point at people who are doing the work.
Tony from This Old House does the work and does a show. I have a lot more respect for Tony.
3 years late and nothing constructive, checking in.
I for one practice the old school "sweatpants carry" where I can comfortably fit both a Mossberg Persuader in my pants, and a loaded Draco complete with "extendos" lining the inside of my other leg.
It's the ultimate in gray man carry.
That's the beauty of the classic "grey sweat pants imprint" look, they never know if its your cock or your glock...
@@hookoffthejab1 the former mf!!!
the only thing that prints on my grey sweatpants is my appendick
@@YujiNakaSonic😂
Desert eagle, in a sandal, in the 12 o'clock position. Can't beat that.
I literally bought like 3 flannels bc this dude wears them.
Nick Vu ohhh someone's got a man crush!!
Nick Vu I have a feeling unless you are all oiled up and look like Daniel Craig, you are SOL. 😂
lol. Daniel Craig is my father. I carry 100% of his genes.
hahah I thought to do the same
Do it. Lol you won't regret. I get MASSIVE poon because of flannels.
"Most of you are pretty awkward anyways"
Y-you too, s-senpai...
strawberry feels notice me senpai!!
i still don't understand how literally everyone in the comments can be this weird haha i love it
Anon beautiful, isn’t?
Appendix carry: because you'll always notice when somebody reaches for your crotch.
The moment I sat down and the barrel pinned my balls between my THOT detector and the car seat, I knew the 12:00 position was not for me.
literally the only reason why I'm going for a 4 o clock position instead
You don't need a light on your weapon... just an extended magazine.
HAHHAHA
FWIW I've had success with shorter, compact g's with barrels in the 3.x" range @ 12:00. A Shield for instance, or a M&Pc or G26 have all worked for me. G19 might be just a tad too long. Add a light and forggeddabouddit.
Yeah I'm not appendix guy either. My cock is too big and it just doesn't work... Hopping in the car I put a kink in my love stick
Garand Thumb, with dry humor and all. Love it.
You are a bit more sarcastic and a bit more of a smartass than I would have thought. That earned a new subscriber.
When your meat stick prints more then your gun. Champagne problems
I hit the bell for mind crushing knowledge

Same.
been carrying for 9 years, comp-tac infidel with the belt loops is probably my favorite holster for iwb and comp-tac flat line for owb, i never run clips on my holsters they failed me in a course once and that was it, wilderness belt is awesome, love the videos dude funny as hell and informative thanks for the hard work man.
"I know you millennials are wearing those tight jeans, 'cause you got to show off those skinny legs."
Looking at you Lucas...
Love the videos! One of my top 3 gun channels for sure! Keep up the awesome work and please don’t stop releasing content.
I hide ma glack fawty in my trousers at the 6 a clock position. It works best from what I've seen in movies.
You better be packin yo fawty without a holster for authenticity.
Perfect for acquiring that 90 degree cant firing grip.
Love you videos and that Military sense of humor, Semper Fi. Brother
I absolutely love your channel definitely one of my top 3 favorites keep up the good work stay working man thanks for all the great content and information stay blessed
Honestly I've been subbed for a while. I just haven't bothered to look at any of your videos, but once I did I gotta say, I really like them. Interesting stuff. Keep it up man
Excellent video! When discussing hybrid IWB holsters (Ex. Alien Gear) you mentioned that you prefer to have the trigger guard completely enclosed. Black Arch's PROTOS-M holster has a "3/4 kydex shell" that completely wraps around the trigger guard and provides an excellent retention level that is adjustable, consistent, and does not depend upon pressure between the shell and the backing... incredibly comfortable! :)
By the way, I loved your interaction with Ernest Langdon on P&S Modcast #173... GOOD DA/SA STUFF! :) That podcast first introduced me to you... now I'm a subscriber and very much enjoying your videos! I have yet to pick up the new Beretta 92 Elite LTT, but I'm saving for it... for now, I LOVE MY Inox PX4s (compact & full-size) - very underrated pistols.
I love all his weapon reviews but I wish we could get more of these gear and principal reviews. Everyone does weapon videos, and Papa Plaid does it better then most, but the unique quality of his channel were these videos of gear that very few create.
Always enjoy all the Knowledge bombs dropped I have used more then a few and they have worked out great keep up the great work Mike
I just ordered Trex holster with a side car for a spare magazine. It is about a 5 week waiting period but I have heard good things about it. I’m thank you for the hard work and standing up for our 2nd amendment and all the great reviews and videos.
this is nutnfancy caliber shit. where's the flannel video
Liberal gun owner! And he isn't annoying as shit
Only better because you know... GT has occupational experience whilst nutn runs around pretending to be operator in the "desert".
I can't hate on nutnfancy, he's like listening to an audiobook

Love you brother thank you for taking the time to show us all this stuff and bring all this information to the table. I am paying attention! :)
Subbed bc this is some of the best content on here. Keep it coming
"I find that the back of my shirt tends to ride up as I'm doing day to day activities." And what activities would those exactly be?
teh?
Turns out most people know how to spell and steal my username.
Lifting and picking up stuff? 🤔
Man shit...
Clearing corners in your mom's basement
"A little extra material up front" lol
Glad to see you pushing the Wilderness Survival Belt! Been wearing one for 12 years now, duty & everyday wear!
Love your professional talk with the addition to the random jokes! As always well said and great video! Keep the humor going😀
Awesome dude keep the videos coming.
I carry 2 full size 1911 airsoft pistols, everywhere, all the time. Way higher capacity with the airsoft pistols than regular firearms. Also quieter, lower recoil, lighter.
4 years old comment. Are you still alive with your airsoft guns?)
damn, you gone past 20k subs already! keep up the good work sniffles, i really enjoy your vids
I highly recommend Blackpoint Tactical holsters. I am a small framed guy and can easily and comfortably conceal my Springfield Operator with the THOT protector installed IWB. I agree that the vanguard and incog are good options too. Excellent info in your videos by the way.
The newer alien gear holsters (shape shift line) do completely enclose the trigger guard. They are modular as well so the same holster can be set up to carry IWB, appendix, or OWB just by switching out the backing.
Those holsters are sooo bad... 😂
@@PkwyDrive13 Why? I've found they are one of the only companies who make an IWB for a 4" K-frame, and it's quite comfortable.
That black background...you will not find his location with this set up. That black really makes his flannel shirt pop.
just found your page. my boy is a Navy sea cadet and i'm a inst. for the cadets. he's planning on being a Ranger. I think your videos are very helpful for him and me. keep up the good work.
Great video! Sometimes I don't know if you're being funny or serious, but in either case your videos are always entertaining and informative. Can't wait until the next video.
the alien gear shape shift series completely cover both sides of the trigger guard so you dont have to worry about the flexing
Mr. Haley, I have been trying to find the perfect holster for my custom hi point 45. I've got it narrowed down to either the crosman shoulder holster or the uncle mikes iwb tuckable. Which would you recommend? Ive watched a bunch of sick anime so I'm pretty sure i have the ability to do a .5 second draw either way.
The only reasonable answer would be a utg drop leg
Fuzz Nutts ^What he said
I'd fashion one outta duct tape
For EDC? I'd have to leave that collectible in the safe.
High points are gross that being said sticky holsters
Dude, got 2 minutes into this video and had to comment. Your polite comments about the military and their approach to privately owned weapons struck a deep chord with me. In addition, you remarked that there IS difference between law enforcement concealed carry and everyone else.
I have used the HSGI rigger belt with cobra buckle for the past 7 years and it works great for IWB and OWB
Duct tape to the upper back always works for me.....if it's good enough for John McClain, it's good enough for me!
4:59 I got a bit of extra material up front that I'm not particularly willing to part with. Apendix carry is a no-go.
I'm loving the vids and loving the flannels
Love the shout out to Relentless Tactical. They're a fantastic company. I'm a big fan
Hell yeah got my bucket of crayo- I mean popcorn ready!
After several failed attempts to obtain a comfortable gun belt for EDC the Kore Essentials belt met all my expectations. The quality rigidity, comfort and price filled the bill. I would highly recommend this belt to anyone looking for one. Another feature that was really important was that being a big person the belt was plenty big and it allowed me to adjust it to my size with no problem.
I wear the KORE EDC belt everyday. Unfortunately I travel to many states and can't carry with it all the time but when I do it is phenomenal.
Man, I’m subbed just for the comment section..............and your flannel fashion materiel as well! Keep lumberjacking it on!
Been watching the videos last few days. I discovered them and love them, great info on here. Oh and RLTW...
green crayons. Love it.
Like for the Carnik Con shoutout
Brian C I was subbed to that channel in the past and I noticed that the channel went away. For years now I’ve been trying to find it with no luck. Today I finally found the carnick con archive channel bc of that shoutout. Thank you garland thumb
Chris Mathy he got some disease and stopped posting. He’s fine now but said he isn’t coming back to UA-cam
Informed Constitutionalist god damn shame
Always been an open carry kind of guy with CZ-75 and Glock 17s. Finally bought a Glock 19 and a T-Rex Arms Raptor AIWB Holster. Always good to learn a new skill.
Being 5'4" 160lbs, even my glock 19 is hard for me to conceal carry well. What i have found that works for me is a Trex Raptor appendix carry holster at 1 o'clock with a glock 30sf on a Nova belt. The gear from Trex is top notch, plus this setup lets me hide the gun, holster and two spare magazines without printing. The raptor claw on the holster also helps by pushing the grip of the gun closer to your body.
4 years ago, it’s like a totally different guy
I always carry my appendix.... but my draw time is like 3 hours + pre op and it requires a surgeon.
Pro: always have it with me
Con: can get you killed
Always love your videos . I use standard military belt for my inside the waistband holster. For my suit or suits I have a calico Miami shoulder holster or I do have a custom spot in a couple of my suits for my handgun
Love the INCOG IWB holsters. Great video
You mind doing a vid on benefits of different shooting styles weaver isosceles etc? Btw love all the vids keep up the good work!
Ian Walker Weaver is to keep your silhouette smaller when not wearing body armor where as isoceles keeps your body armor square against the person shooting back at you. Also Weaver was more effective when using a revolver to steady your aim because you can't grip a revolver like a semi auto.

In Australia, we now have conceal carry tactical crates haha
I love how he just super chill and roasting some of us lol.
Pierre Troche it’s true lol
Yes, I like the flannel shirt. And your cool presentation thoughtful, thorough.
it's black panther, by odeon. .. it has real bits of panther in it.
This guy is like the Mike Rowe of cool shit.
Mike Rowe is a television show host. He doesn't do any of the cool stuff you see on his show.
Garand Thumb only talks about things he practices and has knowledge of.
Bravo-Zulu! Great Video, I am a big guy and because of a service Connected injury that had me in a wheelchair for almost 6 years I put on an extra 100 LBS because of that I have reduced how often I wear an IWB holster but I do carry every time I leave the house. Because of my extra tonnage that I have put on I mostly use OWB holsters and when it cool here in Central Florida I use both Galco or DeSantis Miami Classic type shoulder holsters. I have been a FL CCW permit holder since the early 90s and I have tried many different kinds of holsters made by about every major holster maker out there and as my carry sidearms have changed and my skill level has increased I have changed how and what I carry. My first Glock was a Gen 3 G22 40sw and I carried that pistol in a Galco Combat master holster or Galco Royal Guard IWB from 2004 to 2015 when I upgraded to a Gen 3 RTF2 G22 and recently purchased a Gen 4 G22 but I have had and carried the Gen 4 G23 and G35 as well. I do own Alien Gear for my Glock 17/22, Sig P226/229 and my 1911s and they have the leather back because the composite material gets way too hot here in FL. In the past couple of years I have made a decision to start looking for solid Kydex OWB holster that would allow me to carry my sidearm with a weapon light attached and after lots of research and a few disasters I found Bravo Concealment and I purchased holsters that would allow me to carry my Gen 4 G17 or G22 as well as my Sig P226 with TLR-1 HL units attached and after 6 month of using the Bravo holsters I am very please with my purchase and would recommend the Bravo holsters to anyone that would ask me about a solid carry kydex holster. The one bad thing about Bravo Concealment is that they changed their line up and are now only carrying quick ship holsters for some Glocks 17/19 and 42/43 and some MP pistols and that is it but I was told a couple of weeks ago when I tried to order a holster for my Sig P229 w/surefire xc1.
One thing that everyone should consider when outfitting their carry sidearm is the following:
Good Sights I prefer Tritium Night Sights I prefer Trijicon and Meprolight
Good Weapons Light I prefer Streamlight TLR-1 HL I have both the older 630 and the new 800 lumen units
Good Laser unit I prefer the Crimson Trace frame grip model for Glocks and XDm and the Grips for Sig 226 and 229 as well as 1911.
Just wanted to put in my 2 cents.
P.S. Using button up shirts like the ones from 5.11 Tactical, Tru-Spec and Propper that fit loose I carry my sidearms in OWB Bravo Concealment Weapon light pistol holster riding on a 5.11 Tactical 1.75 inch Operator Belt with cargo shorts or jean here in FL on a daily bases.
I've checked out the jpc plate carrier and the holsters you speak highly on. Both have long lead times.
Oh well, love the stuff!
Could you do a video on sunglasses? Like tactical sunglasses/ballistic sunglasses, or just Oakley's. Oakley's are always awesome.
Richard Steen rule #1 with sunglasses is form over function. It doesn't matter if they are Z87.1 rated, just get what looks dope. Aka: Ray Bans

Hey man! Just found your channel. Just wanna say that I'm looking fwd to this knowledge. Thanks. I like your presentation skills.
I used to have a Wilderness Instructor belt & can say that it will last for a while. I had mine for just about 20 years.
I like the haircut man. High and tight for high speed. What brand flannel shirts do you use?
Now that's fucked up!! Hahahahahaaaaa!
His flannel is all Crye Precision.
Unfortunately open carry laws don't cover what I'm packing inside the waistband.
What, a vagina?
i love how this guys clothing options is like mine flannel or camo
Thanks for your service and your thoughtful videos....stay safe....
If you love John Moses Browning and Canik just do like me. I carry a CZ P07, no compromise except that it isn't a glock 19 and well..... seals
Shinobi HOG I love my p07 what kind of holsters do you use?
BigZiggyHD I posted above. I have a high threat concealment holster with a surefire xc1 light. It's pretty great
“Survival pudge”....I’ve got that 😏😏😏
I enjoy my Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 with . G23. Using SOE edc velcro lined belt. Yet again you made a great video. Keep them coming. :)
Love your humor. Great info too.
I will...(*hesitates*) not hesitate to recommend these holsters.
Can we get a revisit on this topic from ole flannel daddy?
Always enjoy the sublime humor in your videos (and the humorous comments following them). Depending on situation and wardrobe I carry either IWB, OWB or (mostly) shoulder holster. Mostly 1911s in a Defender, Commander and full-size and a MP9 CORE w/red dot. I favor the shoulder holsters but will spare you the reasons why.
You note the importance of a good gun belt. Many good belt makers and mine was made by Armour. Too flimsie along with an incorrectly tensioned holster can result in a wedgie on the draw. Or be cause for showing off one's butt crack when carrying a heavier gun (with or without mag pouch(es).
One style OWB holster (not mentioned) and that I like and own is the Yaqui and mine is made by Galco. A nice IWB holster also by Galco is their Southern Comfort. These are leather, hold their shape, form and opening size and minimalist holsters. Part of printing is the bulk of the holsters and both these help reduce printing. Both these holsters can be carried in appendix (12 to 2) and hip (3 to 5). Their lack of bulk also helps with comfort, especially when sitting or driving. I carry every time I drive, and the shoulder holster is the most comfortable holster I've found for that. Oh, sorry, I was not going to expand on reasons for liking the shoulder holster.
Again, enjoy the vids and insights. Thanx for sharing. lg
I've found that pancake OWB holsters conceal well if you're wearing a loose shirt. The one caveat to that is that depending on your size you may need to go with a shorter grip (think M&P compact or G26) so that you don't print. If you carry a smaller gun and normally wear like a polo or button-down shirt untucked, then a pancake holster will be way more comfortable.
Bravo Concealment is my preferred holster for owb and iwb.
I just carry mine in my hand..😂
Love the channel, keep it up!
I carry a P365 in a IWB kydex holster with a Kore track line gun belt. It works good for me. Good video.
Why so serious? We need this in Canada!

Jackal19x Nathan Krassow this thread killed my boys 😂
I have started AIWB carrying my American made 16” barrel AR-10. Concealment is a challenge, of course, but nothing beats smoking floppies with 51 millimeters of freedom.
As an owner of alien gear, I must also suggest the stealthgear revolution. It is definitely worth the extra money. I carry this every day from 7am until i go to bed, even driving several hours, in the 4 oclock position.
