11:10 "If you got a little bit of a belly you have earned through snackin" That one hit home, but earned you a new subscriber as well.
Right. The only place I have enough of a flat spot to carry one inside waist band is at 6 O’clock, directly above my bullfrog end, and they don’t make a belt tight enough to keep anything in that location from migrating south. I’m better off to just carry mine around in my hand.
I don’t comment very much but I have to say this is one of the best videos on concealment I’ve seen. The height and cant is very important as is training with a dry pistol. Well done 👍🏻
KORE belts are my personal favorite. I dig the track belt design.
I will note, that the stiffness is great for weight bearing. But, a little more flexible belt actually engages my camming bar/wing more effectively. It pushes the grip closer to my body more. Something to try out.
38 year old lifelong shooter, but finally going to get my CCW permit. Awesomely informative vid. Thanks and keep up the great work.
BEST vid on this topic I’ve seen. The best PART of this vid, and the part that made me continue watching, is the self-critique and admission of mistakes in a prior vid. A touch of humility goes a long way.
Rip me just ordered those 😭
Thank you for an excellent video. I have been concealed carrying for over 45 years and can confirm that everything you presented is 100% correct. Great job sir.
Kore essentials has the best belt system in my opinion. TONS of choices and the way the belt fits to the body and ratchet system is genius. They even have the adjustable system with leather!
I really wish I could get comfortable with an inside concealed carry.. I always feel the lump no matter the size of the location.
I use Vedder because of your recommendation. I like the way it fits me and my gun.
VEDDER holsters are excellent holsters and there customer service is second to none..when i get a new gun i order a new holster from them
One holster company has earned my patronage not just because of the quality of the holster I recieved, but because of the knowledge and how active they are in the fight for our rights. That company is Trex Arms, and I will continue to order from them as long as Lucas and his brothers continue to be a force for good in the community.
Another company that I think deserves some attention is Werkz, cool people putting out some great information on lights.
The Tenicor Velo4 appendix holster is my absolute favorite and my go-to for both my Glock G43X and one for my Sig Sauer P365X! They use Discreet Carry Concepts clips and have a built in wedge system and their version of the claw concept, but it’s built into the body of the holster! Tenicor also makes a fantastic belt, the Zero belt is what I use everyday and these two offerings from Tenicor make a great combination!
Mine starts with a Aries gear belt double scuba webbing and titanium buckle I think the belt is one of the most important parts of the Carrie system
Excellent video and very informative!
I will be training and applying for my CC permit in the coming months. The education and knowledge obtained in your videos will definitely help with my platform for CC.
Love the video!! I have run Kore Essentials belts for 5-6 years and I’m on year 4 and version 3 of the TRex Arms Sidecar holster for my Gen 4 G19MOS and also have a bin full of failed holsters and belts I previously tried! 😂😂
I agree with most on here. I can say without a doubt you have the most thorough and well explained videos of all content you put out! I applaud you and appreciate you very much!
Man I’m glad I found this channel! Info is priceless
I love your videos, Mick. Always well thought out (imo) and highly accessible and you always present so much to digest. Repeated viewings are never wasted. Thank you.
I love my Vedder holsters and their nylon belt. QVO Tactical has good quality stuff as well.
Episode #100 and also 300k subs. Nice. I'll be at the Amherst course end of August also. Looking forward to that.
IMHO the most comprehensive and informative review covering every aspect of the CCW
You're a legend in your field 💪🏼🇺🇸
Great Video and thanks. I think retention is really important as you may need to assure the bad guy doesn't get ahold of your gun!
There's a lot of money being made on concealed carry gear -- so that people can carry concealed, of course. This is great overview of how one can manage to conceal a firearm, but one must first answer the question of whether to conceal that firearm or wear it openly. Sometimes one's local or state laws will drive that decision, but often they do not. Debate rages on the Internet about concealed vs open carry, and most of what gets said is divisive, sometimes downright ugly. Naturally open carry maximizes accessibility -- some say it extends that accessibility to others or makes one the first target. Some say open carry's major advantage is that it deters the bad guy from targeting the carrier in the first place because criminals aren't interested in hard targets. There are stories that support both views. Given all of us who carry are essentially on the same team, I'd sure like to see that divisiveness go away.
Thanks for sharing!
one of the most completly informative vids on the you tube
This is one of the best CC videos I've seen. You do a great job in presenting the information very clearly and in a way it's easy to understand with your demonstrations. One thing though, myself and most people who carry, do so in a 3-4 o'clock position and not appendix. Is most of what you said about printing, holster styles, claws, etc. applicable to other positions aside from appendix? Are there certain holsters that are better suited to these other strong side positions?
I’m new to your channel. But I appreciate all the insight. Recently picked up the 43x and switching between my hip and cross body appendix. Depending on my clothing. Carry 1 in chamber at 4pm but No RIC when carrying appendix. Been carrying 10 years now. Long live the Republic. Now subbed. I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas.
Love my Vedder light tuck with the wing. 43x. My favorite setup.
All very good points. Everyone seems to mention " what if someone is grabbing me or hitting me or fighting for my gun" very few are talking about " avoid situations a all cost. " I believe in knowing how to use everything you have and then putting yourself in a situation where you never have to use it. I work security in an emergency adult psychiatric ward In an NC hospital. The Police bring many of these patients to us. Keep in mind we can not harm them but they can fight us with any means they have. We have to use aggressive therapeutic holds. Well I have learned that an adult who's I'll, angry, on drugs, full of rage the last thing that you want to do is get into any kind of physical altercation. If you're alone changes are it will not go well for you.
Another solid no B.S. video. Good work.
You turned me on to the EDC Belt Co. and I’ve never looked back. JM and Dark Star are my longtime favorites too.
In terms of seasons, I’m glad I live where it’s Summer all year round!
One request: the background music is OK at the opening and end, but it can be distracting when you’re presenting.
Very interesting, well made, and informative. As someone who almost exclusively open carries and most of whoms friends and coworkers concealed carry I have noticed that many, arguably most, people aren't "concealing" nearly as well as they think they are. At least, not to other people who carry. IWB and IWBA are not always as subtle as people think.
This is very true! I have carried my properly concealed pistol many times in very very non permissive environments and have never been noticed or called on it! It’s very important to have the right holster and accompanying equipment to truly be concealed!
FYI - This video's sponsor is Secure It Gun Storage in the Outro... not some belt or holster vendor.
I do like JM Custom Kydex. I found them while looking for manufacturers who make holsters for the Nomad 9 Glock 19 clone I built. I liked the brand so well I also bought ones for my Glock 19 and M&P 2.0 Compact. They form the kydex so that it has a built in wedge behind the clip that acts like a wing, canting the gun into your body. I have the DCC clips on them as well. I combine that with BladeTech ratcheting belt that's basically a rebranded Kore Essentials and that gives me good adjustability as I remove or put the pistol on depending on whether I'm going somewhere I can carry or not. The whole set up works rather well, is highly concealable, and is fairly comfortable considering I carry appendix.
I've been using the Nexbelt and it works great for me. I showed up to IDPA and some of the shooters were shocked, they didn't know I was using AIWB, until I stepped to the line to shoot. I'm Using a T1C AGIS ELITE for a Sig AGX Scorpion and have had zero issues. Shout out to you Mickey, Zee, and Paul, Since S12 I've enrolled in BJJ and am loving it.
This has been the only advice I have seen for ride height. Learned something new. Thanks Mick!
Great video, probably one of the best concealing a pistol video I've seen. There is one area of discussion that I wish would be discussed more is sitting while concealing. That seems to be my biggest issue. How the rig feels while sitting.
Great video Mickey
I love my Nexbelt.
I find it best to do videos of this subject matter with a white shirt. It shows the gear better since they are mostly dark colors. It also shows how the various gear conceals.
And that is why I don't wear white
You're The Only Livin`Legend that I learn from. I' want to come up and visit within 5 years@ Most. I'ma Huge Fan of you & Warm Regards to you're Family from Tristen~ali. Sydney`Oz Solid Salute!
☝🏼♥️💎💐🌉🗺🕊
Great video brother, keep up with the amazing content. Hope you, your family and friends stay safe!
Great video thank you!!! I have Tulster and Vedder holsters both excellent. Kore belts are also excellent. I have had to buy clothes in bigger sizes (next size up) than what I can normally wear and by doing that it conceals great.
Big fan of the DCC Malice clips! My only complaint is how hard they are to take off, which is a good thing. But, dang, they really grab the cloth above the belt if you’re not careful.
It's one year later and I still use this as a tool in reference to anyone who's trying to get their concealed carry permit (because telling them don't be dumb just isn't enough)
Thank you for a great video Uncle Mic. I have been watching your videos since I first thought about carrying a pistol a couple of years ago. Now I carry every day. Thank you so much again for your teachings and your time.
Good job on clarifying the last video version which I hated. It was my first exposure to you and I thought you were a clown! (Sorry)! Now I see differently and want to applaud your humility and ability to set things straight, more of THAT skill, we wouldn't even need CC as much!
Tenicor is another great holster maker.
Outstanding info. Thank you. With the coming changes in NY where we just await the removal of the restrictions on our CCW permits, this video gave me some really important things to think about getting ready to carry.
@24:02 spot on Mick!. Thanks for the great content as usual and some good quality products to consider. Please come back to the Myrtle Beach area for another class, would love to attend one.
A little late to the party. Micky, this is the best explanation of CONCEALED CARRY i have seen!!! GREAT JOB! P.S. i feel special that I'm the only leather holster maker that you mention. :)
“Belly you earn through snacking” 🙋 (oooh that’s me)
Definitely going to try the discreet carry clips. I’ve been on the fence with that for a while. Great video!
I carry a 442 appendix because that's the only one I can carry that way. If I carry a Shield I have to carry it at about 3 o'clock. I use Nexbelt or Bigfoot for something larger. The holster is leather with great retention.
Move the belt buckle to the off-side 9:00 or 3:00. That removes the bulk from the front when you are carrying AICW. Game-changer.
I prefer the Kore Essentials ratcheting belt. With the buckle at 9:00 it is easy to loosen belt tension with one finger when transitioning from standing to sitting. To tighten just touch at the hips and squeeze the hoola hoop a click or two.
The Vedder light tuck is excellent. The clip has no bulk and isn't coming off without grabbing the end and peeling it back. Think about what is going to happen if a LEO wants/needs to disarm you for whatever reason. He isn't going to let you help...
Not for me. Too much screwing around to tale a leak. Definitely helps if one has a big buckle or tummy
Why do you need to unbuckle your belt to take a leak? Do you drop trau at the urinal? I just unzip the fly and fish the snorkel out through it to drain the thang.
I don't even need to unbuckle the belt to drop trou at the throne either. I have 6' extra on the belt and just loosen it to the end of the zipper zone and I can then unbutton the trousers and unzip the fly and slide everything down keeping the holster clipped into the stiff belt hoop and everything.
The Kore belt is stiff enough and the Vedder has more than enough retention. I drop just to above the knees to keep the holster rig off the floor and out of sight of the neighbors who might see it if I lowered to my ankles.
I use public facilities a lot because I live on a boat so I've got it down to a science.
@@svbarryduckworth628 hahhahaha
Excellent perspectives and advice!
I’ve used a G-Code Eclipse for years, but appreciate the demonstration of gear that was new to me and list of companies you trust for quality products. When you use the wing vs. no wing on the appendix holster it’s noticeably more discrete, but do you notice a meaningful difference in the ability to draw the firearm when it’s more tightly pressed against your body? Thanks for the video, the carry considerations were very informative.
I love your master grip. You've built excellent muscle memory
Ill plug in my nomination for the Tenicor Zero belt. Wear it everyday and hasn't disappointed me at all
Tenicor holsters in general are made exceptionally well.
Tenicor is where it’s at!
one thing you forget to mention, wearing a shirt with print on it that catches the eyes works WELL. For example, I did a test at my local Safeway with a plain black T on, carrying an FNX 45 Tactical this thing printed like a plotter.... asked a few folks if they could tell i was carrying and they laughed and just pointed at it. Went back in the next day with a bright orange shirt with bold black lettering that said "I am a ray of F&cking sunshine" and i asked 4 random people if they could tell i was carrying (still the same giant pistol) they said no and loved the shirt. Mind games are more than effective against the unsuspecting. One of the folks i interviewed was an actual off duty officer (i could not tell he was carrying as he was wearing a hoodie). Butt still, distraction is easily the best for concealment if your have a large gun, that prints no matter what. So yes, you can conceal service+ size weapons, just make sure you have a big and funny shirt.
I also think Tenicor is a great holster maker! What do ya think about them? Also… there is a great holster company called Victory Operational Works and Its owned and ran by a army vet and he makes some really good stuff!
I recently bought the EDC belt based on your video! Such a great belt, have had 2 family members purchase after showing them this belt. Also added they were using a few other “popular” companies but liked mine better
Thankyou for a very informative video that told me a lot that I never thought about! I really like your videos!
Always appreciate your thorough content and insight.
One other helpful holster addition for the “nutritionally challenged” folks who carry AIWB is a wedge. While it does add thickness at the bottom, it definitely helps push the pistol grip tighter to your “six-pack insulation” of your belly.
Awesome as always Mick! Hope you do another class here in Michigan soon
Love the Foundation Belt by EDC!!! I’ve used NexBelts too, but the plastic inside has cracked on two of mine at points of strain from the clips, which led me to the Foundation Belt.
MHS 10 is one my my fav videos of yours
Great video! I use Kore Essential Belts and they are great but like you said thick. I’ll definitely look into the loop belt
The J Frame I’ve carried since 1968 meets or surpasses all those things you’ve mentioned.
Old timer I see your comments but for the love of God please shut up if you've never gotten training and most especially if you think your obsolete 5 shot snubbie will do the trick
I have a DCC MOD4 clip on one of my legacy firearm co. holsters and it has bent my KORE belt going to look at your belt you got on now
Truly appreciate this wisdom & knowledge, God Bless 🤙
Must have skills 10 was the first video of yours I saw
Great video Mick
Dave
Great video. I’m looking for a holster and appreciate the additional options.
I enjoy all your videos. Thanks for your information and instruction!
great video, straight to the points.
Good info
Question, does anyone have experience with Bravo Concealment holsters? A buddy of mine has recommended their product to me. I feel like he's well versed in CCW. However I would like some feedback from other sources. Great video full of solid info. Plus the way the content is delivered makes you think. It has me reconsidering my entire setup lol. I think it is good to think and rethink about our setups occasionally. Things change, new revolutionary products and gear come out changing the way we do things. I am always wanting and willing to learn. I love feedback from folks with experience. Have a great day all.
I really dig Vedders stuff.
Looks like I need to lose a lot of weight in order to carry like this. 😀Good tips, especially the belt 🙏
"I can put like two fingers in there.." followed immediately by a cut and edit 😂😂 I see you Mickey
Great vid, very informative thx! Curious why no mention about soft holsters like Sticky or Remora? Not for sure how they work with bigger pistols, but for something like a Ruger .380 a Sticky works great and very versatile!
such a well rounded, level headed approach to CCW. Appreciate your attitude and information. I too would rather not have to kill anyone, but coming from a nuclear weapons job on a Navy sub, when you have to kill might as well be a few million at a time! Good info bro
Excellent video.
For me, Kore Essential is the best.
Outstanding video. So much knowledge. I have been carrying for a couple decades and have gone through maony holsters. I just recently decided to give AIWB a try and pretty sure it just will not work for me due to my height. Im 5'4" and just cant figure it out and make it work for me.
Try different holsters from reputable manufacturers, not some off brand cool guy shit. AIWB is a fine art and takes time to find your spot. The enigma UA-cam channel has a video detailing how to find your spot.
Excellent video. I learned a lot. The one thing I have trouble with when carrying, is sitting. Also, do you take your gear off when you get into a car, because running up to the store and having to put the rig on before you get out of the car is difficult and could be dangerous. Having it in the front is very uncomfortable sitting down especially IWB. And even on your side, in a car with a seat belt is not comfortable. I don't drive carrying, which means I fumble around in the drivers seat after I park trying to get concealed. Thoughts?
Whenever I gotta drive somewhere I normally unholster and just have it under my thigh. Helps a little and its better then riding with a grip in ur stomach🤷🏾♂️
Oh and when u buckle up pull the bottom end of ur shirt up and over ur holster.
Thank you.
@@Happy-Trails-To-You Anytime 🤝🏾
Tenicor is awesome for holsters.
Yes they do
Yes sir. People gotta do their homework choosing the correct gear, Training ex
Sorry to hear what’s going on in your country. I hope you take care of business that needs to be dealt with take of yourself and your brothers and sisters in arms🇨🇦
great video
You always put out great content. I appreciate it.
Is this real?
QVO Tactical makes great holsters.
an XL lower 🤤 Great video 📹 👏 love the content. Learn from the best at one of his S-¹² courses!
Being lanky is finally paying off. When I carry appendix fits real nice and flat under my lower rib. It's a wierd smooth transition between rib and gun. I got at least a few years before I get too fat but it's working well for now.
Rifles been a little uncomfortable cus recoil goes straight to my bones. I don't have meat padding.
I think claw thing presses it in and that's why it's working so well
Me: Watching a video about concealment featuring some excellent holsters. Also me: Edc is a Taurus g2c in a uncle mikes holster cause I'm on a budget.
Hi I didn't catch your discount code for belts it sounded like carry frame?
LMAO a belly you earned!!!!!
Hi there, i have my first pistol which is a HK P30SK and currently waiting for my CCW back in the mail, was wondering if you can recommend a good carry holster for that gun or company that may have a good one for conceal and possibly one with a good retention if they even make one for the SK (both IWB and OWB), i have looked at a few places but they all have the plastic clip and was hoping for more of the metal clip that has the latch underneath it that can secure to the belt, Thank you! liked and subbed!
Mickey thought I’d give you a heads up, I purchased a Foundation Belt from EDC Belt Co two weeks ago…never received an order confirmation (via email) nor have I been able to get ahold of them at all…pretty piss poor CS, getting the total credited back to my CC & would not recommend them at all 💩
So when you jump in your vehicle or need to sit down you just take the holster off, i been carrying at 6 cause thats where its most comfortable but i cant sit. I hate holsters honestly. Maybe my pants are to tight i dunno. Im new to concealed carry.
Along with your iwb gun is it a bad idea to also maybe have one in your pack as well??
