In this Geauga Firearms Academy video we take an in depth look at the most common conceal carry positions. We look at these concealed carry positions, we look at how to conceal carry and proper holster locations. Having the correct holster in conjunction with your concealed carry position it extremely important. A concealed carry holster for appendix carry is much different than a concealed carry holster for the 4 o'clock position. Not only the type of holster but also the construction and the construction material. A full kydex holster have advantages and disadvantages over other materials. Full kydex and hybrid holsters vary greatly, in the users comfort.

Will do, as I'm looking to carry my 57 with a undermount light
I'm glad I was able to view your video today. I always value the opinion of someone experienced in their subject.
"You can't know for sure it's a gun, and it's none of your business what it is!"
Facts!!!
@@RebootedMind yeah no one is actually watching you like that anyway. as humans sometimes we just think that people are allways studying us.
Abwj1002 - hmmm.... good one 🔫😂🍺
@@randallN-sw6ee If you appendix carry and anyone says anything just wink and walk away smirking
if im gonna shoot up the place i might just start with the guy who may have a gun on him...
Yes! when he said that it sort of “blew my mind” for a lack of better terms. completely gave me a different opinion.
dude....I have 27 years in a HSLD law enforcement position ...and got to say I admire your instructions on things gun related to folks. Keep up the good work
Thank you! Appreciate you watching

This is EXACTLY what is missing from other CCW channels. Everybody focuses on the weapon. Great job showing us HOW to carry and options for holsters. I enjoyed that allot. I drive for a living so I'm trying to find a shoulder holster system for the Glock 19 I just purchased last week. Thanks again for your excellent channel. :)
thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful. I remember you shared your story before with FB. Stay safe, glad you are carrying now.
Yes ! I will be carrying soon. Got to figure out my insurance options. Been training weekly with an instructor and defensive firearms strategy. :)
Great, glad you found some training too. That is important to performing if you have to use it in a real life stressful situation.
CPL holder, nuff said; old retiree, walks a LOT, waay more street crime than same neighborhood 30-40 yrs ago! REFUSE to be a vic OR statistic.
Do lots dry fire practice, getting to be outdoor range weather - YEAH!!
Do you recommend nearly ALL live practice be conducted "the way you carry daily" for muscle memory? Have a DAO compact- long heavy trigger pull, NO safety.
ANY comments/recomm: leather shoulder rig with 'convertible pockets' for DIFFERENT size pistols/revolvers??
glock 19 is a great gun i love mine and have had no issues with it
"Again, that's just my philosophy. You may love that, and if that's the case, rock'n'roll." Thank you for being informative and giving the reason behind your opinions, but also for encouraging us to do what is most comfortable for us. Best video I've seen so far. Looking forward to watching more.
Thank you!
Your a well spoken dude without all that jibber jabber well done & very informational
As a new CWP holder, I really appreciate this insight, thanks.
@Youric Hunt you carry to protect. You do so in the hope you dont have to. Dumb question. Lucky i didn't give you as dumb a response
Youric Hunt what the fuck kind of question is that? You ask like it’s a cool thing to be forced to use your firearm...
@shanepetersen exactly
@Youric Hunt if I ever pull my gun it is to then pull the trigger.
@Jake Stockton um yes, if I feel threatened enough to pull my weapon it is to immediately pull the trigger, not threaten anyone.
I appreciate how he isn’t the one that tells you how to carry. It’s nice hearing do what’s comfortable for you not how you should.
Watched this same video four years ago. It all "still" applies and Neil I have to say this is "still" one of the best holster videos I have seen. Thank you.
I'm new to CCW by a few months but you are by far the most informative in practical use then anyone I've seen. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Glad to help

Sir I certainly appreciate your instructions. I've been been Law enforcement 23 years and I bet I've purchased 15 or more holsters trying to find a comfortable one. I have solved my problem by watching you show the proper way to carry. Thank you..
I really like this guy. Not really sure why. But I do.
It's cuz he's a handsome man
Don't deny it we are all thinking it
I think it's because he's such a dad
He has such a lovable face
Daily work uniform is slacks and dress shirt. Waistband carry is not an options. Carry a Glock 43 in a Galco ankle holster with calf strap. No print.
Summer with sandals, shorts and big tshirt is a custom leather cross draw holster, no print.
Fall and winter with a coat is sometimes a Glock 22 in a shoulder holster.
Variety of guns for a variety of conditions.
Excellent vid, thank-you.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for addressing the new type of holster that you pull up to draw. I was considering using one but wondered about some issues. Never crossed my mind about drawing while sitting down.
I like how you press the point of making somebody comfortable and how just because something is your particular preference doesn't mean it's the best way. Others try to push their own philosophy for how they carry so much and completely bias themselves against anything else
Can't agree more about a solid trigger guard, I use a Stealth gear IWB with a glock 30, super secure.
If trigger guard isn't there or good I'm not wearing it
Looking into moving from MA to NH and will be looking into carrying for both states. I loved this video, and I love your little blurb about printing! What you carry is no ones business, never understood everyone's aversion to printing on any level.
Thank you for this! I had no idea how clueless I was about carrying until I actually started carrying. Couldn't find a comfortable holster, was too self aware of it jutting out - the whole nine. I'm under 6 ft. and slim and of course my first firearm was a glock 19. Basically too big for a slim guy to carry inconspicuously. That led me to this vid and led me to going to the shop and talking to the experts and trying different things, and learning a lot of things I didn't know. Nothing wrong with asking questions! Thanks again!
I like your view on printing, " you can't know for sure it is a gun and its not really any of your business what it is". Well said and so true!
CB Neal thanks for watching 👍
Never could get used to appendix carry with the barrel pointing toward the boys even though it’s the most comfortable. I’d much rather crease a butt cheek if the worst case scenario happened.
😂😂
As a lady, this isnt an issue for me lol
😝
Anna G Oh but it is.
Though I carry and prefer strongside if you carry AIWB the CORRECT way the gun is never facing your privates.
I love your attitude and your subtle humor man. Awesome and informative video. It still surprises me; how many people that don't know or either constantly forget to make sure they have a holster that completely protects the trigger (front and back) with a hard surface. It was extremely important that you were very clear on that. Thank you.
The deep concealment holster you mentioned , I have one for my p 365 , I love it,, It takes some practice and getting used to but keep in mind it is for deep concealment and once the holster is broken in you can draw from a sitting position , Great video and awesome pointers.
I have a p365 and I use the sig brand holster made for the p365 I love it
Great video for showing us all the different kinds of holsters out there to look at and and pick from. I've looked at a lot of holsters lately, and still this video showed me a couple of types I hadn't run across, and gave me some great pros and cons on each that I hadn't thought of. I like that he actually puts these holsters and puts guns in them so we can see exactly where they go and how they function in different positions on the body. Great job !
David Smith thank you! Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, I learned a lot in less than 20 minutes.
Thanks for watching
Phenomenal. I honestly almost left halfway thru because it wasn't touching on anything I was looking for, then you hit all my issues and a half dozen more. Thanks for being so thorough.
I'm getting my first carry pistol today and have had concerns as to how well I'll be able to conceal it with my body type, carry position, and clothing that I wear. This video definitely gave me some things to think about. One thought is that I will probably have to go and buy some short sleeve button down shirts. My t-shirts will probably not be enough to cover the pistol. Thanks for the tips and info.
johnnypar91 glad i could help
Loved, "printing has never been a big deal for me [because] I dont care"
Rofl. More people need to hear this.
If you undid your pants one more time I was gonna start throwing dollar bills at the screen..LOL :) thanks for the vid, great info

gosh damn didn't even throw In a "no homo" lol
Hahaha, Right! That was a funny comment he made!
Excellent information. Correct, concise, and everything you said was for a reason. It wasn't 42 minutes of fluff and 8 minutes of content.
I love the alien gear 3.0. I wear mine every day defenetly the most comfortable I've ever owned great video !!!
Twitch yea the tuck 3.0 is legit super comfy and tucked away
Twitch thanks for watching!
Try stealth gear. I'll never go back to alien gear again. The revolution mini is perfect.
Ventcore ... For a Bubba it's perfect allignment for a 3'0clock carry.!
The Alien Gear 3.0 looks the most comfortable. I'm trying to decide what to get when my LTC goes into effect in a few weeks. I'm a single mother and will carry to protect me and my kids and will also use the gun for home protection. I love my S&W 9mm M&P Shield!💕
I'm a new shooter with a lot of questions. Watched a lot of videos that rehash the same stuff. Watching your videos helps me more than anything I've seen......mostly because of your no nonsense dialogue and not being word crazy !!
Thank you! We appreciate hearing that, we put a lot of work into our videos. :)
This was very helpful. I'm looking into getting my ccw soon and didn't know much about holsters, I've mostly focused on videos related to the gun itself
A teacher is not a giver of truth.. they are simply a guide...pointing the way to the truth each student must find for them selves..
Excellent video thanks for taking the time to make it and post it up.. I have been struggling to find a good carry set up and this gave me some great points to think about thank you.
Keep it up, guys. I especially like your channel because you are from my home state of Ohio. Vedder makes great holsters at an excellent price. Their metal clips secure very well on a stiff belt and they are more low profile than kydex loops
We are actually working on a Vedder review this week! Thanks for watching and commenting
@@geaugafirearmsacademy I will be looking forward to it. Thank you
Thanks Neil and Kim. One year licensed conceal carry and every hint and tip helps for concealment and comfort. I am also working on my wife to 100% body carry so Kim's Corner is very informative. Much appreciated. Keep up the excellent work.
Bob Bailey thank you. Glad we can help you both. Stay safe
Nice shirt, coach! Also, great update and review. I like the attitude on "printing" and "loops".
Thanks to the good Neil, I went right to the best holster/belt rig, without wasting a cent!
Thanks, you guys.
Chop Z. glad to hear that!
Your videos sold me on the Alien Gear cloak tuck 3.0. I wear it everyday and it is by far the most comfortable holster I've ever worn
Joshua Anderson glad we could help.
Great video, very informative. One thing I will disagree with though, even it the holster is all nylon, etc, you will never be able to "bend" it enough for a seatbelt buckle, table corner, a pen, or a child to press through the "fabric" and pull the trigger. It is softer than hard plastic (which isn't as smooth when sliding the gun in and out of for sure won't argue there) but not THAT soft to the point where the trigger can be pulled. It's still pretty darn thick and stiff despite not being a "hard" material. If your preference is to carry a full plastic holster that's totally understandable, but don't for a second even pretend that a nylon holster is flexible enough to allow an accidental trigger pull/discharge. If anything it's just more form fitting to your body. If you had no trigger guard you might be able to depress it enough, but in that roughly 1" space between the frame/guard you're not gonna be able to hook a table corner into it hard enough to pull the trigger, even if you fell on it with all your weight.
Very very informative. I know nothing about this topic so thank you for this.
Great video man. Pro tip though-You are showing folks a lot of dark colored items, wear a lighter shirt and you'll get better video quality
I was thinking the same thing.
Great Educational video for the many options for one to carry. Notice to all other channels he does not tell you what you must use but explains the many carry options one has and it all comes down to personnel preference for the person who carries and not what is written in stone.
Another great, informative video. I ordered the Alien Gear Holster the other day, based off your recommendations in another video. Can't wait to test it out. Just want to say that this channel has been a great source of information for people, such as myself, that are new to the gun community!! Truly appreciate every bit of help, advice, info and opinions that you and Kim have provided!! Keep up the great work you two!!
syncere010 we really appreciate your on going support and as always thanks for watching!
How did it work our for you goddess
Alien gear is awesome. Im lucky enough to live where their headquarters are. Best customer service ever. I even messed up ordering a holster and hey they fixed that right away. 30 day no matter what return and if you break something even a strap. Bam new piece immediately.
I've gone through SOB, jackass, IWB etc.. I finally settled on a small kydex/leather OWB holster for a sig P-239. Very concealable, comfortable when driving.
Good to see someone explaining gear! Too many concentrate on the weapon only. I have a vedder holster for my sig p320 and it is the most comfortable holster I own. Great review and great info.
Rod Ganzer thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it, it's a great holster
Rod Ganzer I was going to get a siger 320 sub compact with the kv mech. both beautyfull pistol and holster hope it fits like a glove :)
Would you recommend the holster? I just bought the 320 yesterday
I have the same gun Al looking the best holster
Awesome channel I love the way you keep saying "This is my preference/what I like" there are way too many gun videos that talk down to people that don't do it there way. The only two things that really matter are First One carries safely And secondly One carries as often/everywhere they legally can. Everything else is what works for you. Thanks again for the great channel!
chris crawford thank you! 👍
Good job on the vid bro, really like the break down of the different styles and how you don't try to push a certain style on people, you just leave it up to the viewer to make that decision, keep up the great work.
Alex Nunez thank you! 👍
Thank you very much for this video :) I have decided to get the Glock G19 Gen4 FS for my first concealed carry, and now I just need a holster. This was exactly what I needed!
PsionicShift thanks for watching. glad it was helpful
Now I'm not 21 yet so me and a buddy carry an 1851 Navy. I plan on getting a makarov for my CCW. One because I prefer an SA/DA for carry and two because I'm relatively slim. I'm gonna save this video for future reference when I turn 21! Thank you for the great content
-Vance- Dun thanks for watching! 👍
Look at the Springfield XDE
That was one of the best videos I have seen on this subject. I would not have so many holsters if I had been a supporter and subscriber of your channel when this was made. Your approach to any subject is so spot on and presented with such common sense. Thanks
💕Thank you SO much for this video! I am a single mom who recently bought my first handgun. My question to you is what type of holster can a woman carry who DOESN'T wear a belt, ever? Are there purses made with holsters attached or put somewhere for easy access to "me" and not everyone else? I took the LTC class and test and got a 247/250 at the shooting range and a 100% on my written test!😊 I have a S&W 9mm M&P Shield. Thank you so much!☺️
Robyn Smith thank you for the support. My wife tests out a lot of female carry options. Here is one she did on holster shorts: ua-cam.com/video/XHhV5-s9oyg/v-deo.html check out her other videos, they may be helpful. Thank you for watching 👍
Robyn Smith never keep your gun in or on your purse, that's the first thing to be taken by a thief out in public, then he/she has your purse and your gun. keep safe
Geauga Firearms Academy :Thank you so much! I will go straight to the link you showed me and will definitely check out her other videos. I absolutely love you and your wife's videos, they have helped me tremendously. Have a great night! GO BUCKEYES!!!(I'm originally from Ohio and proud!)
Jacob Bieganowski : Thank you for your advice!😊 Do you have any recommendations for a thin woman who NEVER wears a belt? I wear fitted clothes (not too tight...😉) and can't imagine a place to carry my gun on my body. I definitely want to carry it on a daily basis though. I would be appreciative of any advice! Have a great night!☺️🌙✨
Robyn Smith I'd opt for a conceal carry under shirt like the ones on this site:
tacticalgear.com/concealed-carry-shirts?kwid=547&gv=true&dl=b
Kore really makes a great belt. I've never had a ratchet belt before, but thought the concept to be great. I then did some research on the various brands and found the Kore brand to be consistently rated as the highest quality in brand-to-brand comparisons. I believe those test comparisons to be true. These belts just "scream" quality. I have to say very impressed and am enjoying them immensely.
I had thought about getting one of the down the leg holsters, but have reconsidered after listening to that 10 second summary from you. Thank you!
Chris Lowdermilk glad to help. Thanks for watching and commenting
A multi-step process. No thanks.
I guess I need to listen to that because I wanted a leg holster
First time seeing a video from y’all. Almost at the legal carrying age so I’m doing my research love the content and will share for sure. Probably my favorite quote in a long time “judged by twelve than carried by 6”
Best instructor I have ever seen.
I bought one of the Urban Carry holsters that he talks about at the end of the video. I am 6'1" 230 pounds and wear a 38 pant. I can sit down and still pull the gun out. Tried it several times it still works. The only time it does not work is when you pull the belt too tight or wear too tight pants. It will still work with the pant too tight but it is harder. I don't use the Urban Carry all the time but it is handy. It all depends on what you prefer or were taught. Police and Military would prefer the 4 o'clock because that is what they use and are taught. Good video.
Fire Commander military do not where at 4 o clock they where it on there thigh military are always voice there not liking the 4 o'clock carry position
Great Video. I had seen several videos claiming to show different carry styles but very few actually demonstrated them. I appreciate you demonstrating the various holsters and carry positions. Thank You!
Thank you!
June almost July 2023 & still an awesome video. I appreciate you both. God bless you guys 🙏❤️
The single most critical question you must ask yourself before carrying concealed is:
What's my plan for sitting on the toilet?
Keep it right in front.. only need one hand the wipe better practice your tacticool shit Wiping draw!
A toilet holster to put the gun in while you drop one
@@1776A what if you use it in public lol?
@@dxmanforlife maybe a concealed toilet holster
Pray
I carry with a white hat holster max tuck for my glock 19 and love it. I've carried with and without a light at the 4 o'clock position and it's freaking comfortable but secure at all times.
Awesome video! I always enjoy your videos. Definitely looking forward to the video about knives, and extra magazines!
thanks for watching. we have them coming up. stay safe!
Dont usually comment on videos but big appreciation on this video .
“Never taken my pants off for that many people before” that was too funny and so serious🤣 13:55
Ya, I thought that was pretty good, too!! Hee, hee.
I was just a few days away from ordering an urban carry g2 holster until you made the comment about being able to draw in a seated position, I didn't consider this, thank you for that
Bryan Veramessa thank you, glad you found it helpful!
I really enjoyed this video. love the fact you go into detail on how and where to carry. GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Thank you, great video! I'm a new gun owner and will eventually be going for the CCW permit...and wanted a video just like this. Very informative on differences between the carry positions and styles of holsters. Thank you again sir!
could you do a review on stealth gear ventcore holsters
Ston3rRL I'll reach out to them we will see.
i own some and i like them but i wanna see what you say about them
probably the best video that goes through all the different types of cc holsters. thank you!
Great video thanks for the info !
Michael Woodward thank you!
at the end, you mentioned something very important that i nearly overlooked. Thanks for the insight, i will not be getting one of these. 18:05

Just got the AlienGear Shapeshifter for my G2c. IWB at 4 o'clock sits much better now after watching. Thanks for the insight.
Ive got two, both sides of the hip.., you’ll never know which side you need to draw from in certain situations..
gunslinger eh?
stay tacticool bro
Apendix carry solves that problem and you only need one gun
Dude your ON IT! You have the know how and the know why which is just as important
thanks for watching!
Why was the comment removed and by who?
I found patreon but i havent figured out how to find you there
“It’s better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.” brilliant!
currently trying to figure out how to carry. Everyone is telling me how. So I appreciate this. Its more what suits my style/ frame of my person. I am pretty small in stature and already had a hard enough time deciding what to carry, now its how to carry. By the way I giggled at your "Ive never taken my pants off this many times in front of people " statement
Thanks for watching and commenting
" I never dropped my pants before so many people"
LOL Shake it baby!
This is exactly what I needed to see I have had all these questions and had no idea where to start with how to ask them. Thank you so much
michael knight thanks for watching. Glad you found it helpful
13:59 deserves a like by itself
Was sent this from a friend who is just starting to carry. I never really watch these types of things but you have great info and some solid considerations. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching
How do you feel about carrying at 6oclock? I found that for me it's more comfortable with a pretty significant cant.
That's how I like to carry too. Even gives me better posture. People claim it's a danger for breaking your back if you fall. However I have had countless grandmal seizures falling on my back. Never got hurt from the gun on my back.
Just got my WCL in Georgia. This is most helpful.
Why this man look like Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph
oh my gawd literally laughed out loud
Because he's THAT cool !!!
That's funny!!
Really helpful information. Never thought about the sitting down & drawing part when considering the "phone case" holster. Thanks for easily explaining things for those that are new to CC.
Just purchased a Raw Dog Defender Pro. Can't wait to get it.
It is a great one clip holster. Kim enjoys how easy it is to put on. thanks for watching and commenting.
Tom How do you like your raw dog holster?
Real pleased with the company, the holster is just ok for me but it's not their fault. I have a Ruger SR9c Talo Edition which means the slide is slightly different than a standard SR9c. When I ordered the holster I wasn't thinking about that difference so when I got it the retention wasn't the greatest. To Raw Dog's credit they sent me a new holster free of charge and let me keep the old one too even though this really wasn't their fault. I'm using the Raw Dog for the time being because when I have it on, IWB, and my belt snugged up that pistol isn't going anywhere. I'll probably look for another holster some time later on. Again, I want to stress that this was not Raw Dog's fault, they sent me a holster for an SR9c, not the Talo Edition, but they still backed up the holster as if it was their fault, so kudos to them.
Tom Abbott I just ordered one myself it has yet to arrive.
What are your thoughts a year later?
Very clear message on how to conceal carry in many different ways with different materials. And great demonstration too. But I like the 4 o’clock style, looks more comfortable even if you sit, bent and raise your knee or leg and thigh high, can do a situp, can crawl flat on the ground, easy pull for quick draw, and good when climbing that doesn’t hurt uour groin or pinch your appendix when bending. How about that!👍
In my state, Florida.....the gun is not allowed to print or to be visible in any way. Even though the statute allows for momentary exposure of the concealed gun, people have been arrested and imprisoned for it.
Nevada is the same that's my biggest worry. Accidents happen hopefully the don't profile and actually assess the situation
Well then they had a really lousy lawyer or there were circumstances involved like they threatened someone with it etc.
thank god in Idaho printing is not a crime
What do you mean it’s not allowed to print or be visible. Can’t you open carry any way under the 2 amendment?
If I’m not mistaken, Florida did have open carry for a while but to many miniature John Wayne’s wanted to walk around like a badass and messed it up for everyone else.
I don’t disagree with anything on the video, I shared it after seeing it and the highly beneficial level of info provided was a perfect sum up that I could point new ccw and everyday carry lifestyle and you hit the big examples but a lot of newcomers haven’t learned what is best fit for themselves yet. This can be a quality resource they can return to as they learn what meets their needs over time.
I agree with the comment of abdominal carry not being appendix holsters being an all around poor option for me, but I think the reason it’s so common is the same as why he likes hip placed holsters without cant so the barrel is on target faster, the appendix carry provides that rapid on target speed without as much practice drawing. Again not my style either but that’s the only distinct benefit provided by them that I can see, but I have no clue if my guess is valid or not. Probably should get more info on them myself and find out so I have a better idea if asked.
All around great content and appreciate the resource it provides!
Thumbs for constitutional concealed carry!
Thanks for keeping the video informative without trying to advertise too much!
I got a body that changes ... More than I like to. I'd say I'm on my 3rd fatting cycle. Getting more active, so I'm losing weight again. 2nd problem is I have a machete ass. Long torso, short ass legs. Having hard time getting my iwb type holsters to be even slightly comfortable and my gut and muffin top get in the way of the draw. Almost ripped my gut open with the rear sights a few times. Any suggestions? Got a inside the pocket deal I been using but not a fan. I carry a G30s.
get motivated and lose weight. you are a weapon also, treat your body as such
Try Cross-Draw.
cwbrear same here 😂😂
Long ass torso and short ass legs, my 1 year old son has the same shit and I have that annoying ass muffin top BS. Even when I’m thin, I have a “natural” chub right in the spot where id keep my firearm. Drive me insane!
when i grow up i'll rely on this vid alot more
ANOTHER Ohioan! What's with all these gun people being from Ohio XD Is our state just that good for CCW?
Lot of bad cities. I was born in Cincinnati, but almost every major city has a bad crime problem in Ohio. I have to wait until I'm 24 before I can purchase a firearm because of juvenile felon laws here in Florida, but if I move back home there are places that I would never walk unless I had a concealed firearm.
Also a huge factor in holster selection is finding a holster that fits less common firearms, and still works great
I personally run an Astra A-100, which is effectively about a 2.5 lb Sig P226. As you can imagine, finding a good holster when every Tom, Dick, and Harry mindlessly goes for a Glock 17, M&P Shield, or Springfield XD, is not easy.
Since the A-100 is virtually identical in shape and size to a Sig P226, my odds were way better than if you went for something even more obscure. I came across a brand called "Tagua Gun Leather," and it's been working great as an IWB holster. Single piece of hardened leather folded over, pressed and cured to conform to the shape of a few similar models of Sigs, very nicely stitched with extra heavy thread, and the thread looks to have been coated with a waxy polymer to protect against fraying. The clip is about 2" wide, securely mounted, and has very strong retention (sometimes I have to struggle to get the holster off). It's so comfortable that I'll forget I'm wearing a holster with a 2.5 lb service pistol in it. The price was reasonable, too, at $45.
Anyway, I think it's important for EDC that you find an affordable holster that's very comfortable. I probably would never spend more than $50 on a Kydex sheath, as $50 is already a massive rip-off as there's like what? 25 cents worth of material, and they're mass produced by the millions? I could see dropping $100-$200 on a REALLY nice, hand crafted leather holster made from the finest leather and built to last well beyond 2 lifetimes, but when it's molded plastic? C'mon, don't be a rube.
pocket carry ? I assume you are against it.
WhiteDean45 I doubt he's against it. It's just the guns that are suitable for it are very limited. If you feel comfortable carrying in any fashion/position, as long as it's safe, it's good in my opinion. If all you can carry is a 380 in your pocket, it's much better than leaving the 45 at home that you couldn't conceal that day.
Agree with above.
I carry my backup in my pocket in a suitable holster.
Pocket carry is perfectly safe in a proper holster, but from my very limited experience, it's very hard to draw while seated.
Outta control how much info I got from this video man. Good work and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I thank you.
that punusher one wont go well in court if u shoot somebody in “self defense”
What a great instructor! Your style of instruction is very precise and effective. The information you provided was detailed and informative. You clearly have plenty of experience and knowledge making for a very effective teaching experience. I thoroughly enjoyed your video.
Next time wear a WHITE SHIRT so we can see the product and you and what you are doing!!!
Thanks for your presentation. Glad you touched on paddle holsters. I haven't found even one that didn't cause the grip on my firearm to tilt outward.
The urban carry is a joke 😂
lol! thanks for watching.

I and my Army Infantry son agree on that piece of crap!!!
I can almost guarantee that no one can actually sit while carrying concealed with that holster, unless it is a micro 9mml or
.380ACP!!
Anything larger would actually ride in the area of the leg where the body bends when seated!!
Then there's the whole, "Are you carrying concealed or are you just happy to see me?" question that will eventually come up!
It must have been the grandson or great grandson of the person who devised the women's high heeled shoes that came up with the Urban Carry holster! People who just like to get people to buy stuff that makes them uncomfortable.
But.. It's hidden... like the footsteps of a Navy Seal...
NEVER buy a holster that requires two hands to draw it. After all, what if you DON'T have two hands available to use?
But it's like the footsteps of a navy seal lol
