XChris1632X Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I think I am going to start carrying all the time again. I will prob use my M&P 9mm. My question is what do you guys like for holsters and where do you like to get them. My holster is rather bulkier than I prefer but it does the trick. I am looking for something that conceals a little bit easier and comfortably. I was thinking about putting it inside my pants on the right side of my back. What do you guys think? Should I just keep it on my right side? Give me some opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I normally carry inside the waste band on my left side. I use a tiny leather holster, I honestly don't remember the brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderboy Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Buckeye outdoors has a HUGE selection of holsters and they are very well priced. I dont have my conceal carry yet but I do have an under arm holster, so it sits a couple inches down from my armpit, I dont really like it though, its great for that "gangster" effect but thats about it.

Pedro1647545510 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I use a Don Hume holster and I am happy with it. There is usually a good selection of holsters at the gun show. You might be able to find some online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of keeping on my back just for ease of concealing and still be able to obtain a concealed draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneRunnin72SST Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Inside of my my left ankle you will always find a Glock 23 I take it off when I shower and thats about it. I want to get a nice Galco Miami Classic though. -Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually suprised you carry that as much as you do, especially in the places you deff shouldn't have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 ive got a comptac m-tac minotaur IWB for my M&P 9c. i can hardly tell its there. im right handed. i guess the only thing "bad" about it, is its not cheap like some you will find. i got mine slightly used and i think i paid 70$. they're around 80$ new. in my mind, it is probably the most comfortable holster i would find. judging some of the others, i wouldnt want kydex on my skin, and the others would have had the gun right against my skin. the leather on this covers all the gun and nothing but the grip touches me. pics... http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/DSC02379.jpg?t=1223829670 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/DSC02380.jpg?t=1223829670 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Thats right about where I want mine except I would turn mine around the other day. so the grip is pointing right? i thought i'd like that too, but when you go to grab it, its not as easy to get your 4 fingers between your gun and hip to pull it out as it is to wrap your 4 fingers around from the outside and draw i know it doesnt make much sense in writing. not to mention, if you have it facing the other way, when you draw and go to pull the gun up, the natural motion is going to have the gun pointing at your leg for a brief second, something i wouldnt want to risk if i was in the position where i had to get it out quickly and pop off a couple shots. with this position, when you draw, as soon as it exits the holster, you're pointing away from your leg/foot what you're wanting is a left handed holster and wear it on your right side.

XChris1632X Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I guess I would have to wear them both ways to try it all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 if you're ever on the east side and want to try it out, let me know. i have the slide kydex body, so it fits both compact and full sizes, so if you want to bring yours to get a feel for it, you're more than welcome to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 A big second on the Comp-tac M-Tac. I've got one for my .45 XD, and it fits perfectly in the 2 o'clock position I favor. The XD is a fairly thick piece, but I show almost no printing unless I tuck my shirt in TIGHT. Quality construction too, the Kydex is nice and thick, and they use that thick thread for stitching the leather pieces together. And I've had no holster wear yet on the slide.

Clifford Automotive Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I use a IWB uncle mikes, does the trick for me...I carry slightly off the hip towards the back on the right side. Like evan said you dont want to transverse the grip. The pull will be uncomfortable. And youll prob shoot yourself first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
