Need concealed carry product suggestions

[Patriot]

I have 4 carry guns.

Summer months, I carry a Glock 43. In the spring and fall I carry a Glock 29. In the winter I carry a Glock 20.

At the gym or out jogging, I have a tiny Taurus TCP .380 in a IWB.

I had to take some classes for work-No firearms was clearly posted on the front door. The Mustang in my pocket was a perfect solution. As stated better than throwing rocks lol.

Dred, very well said, GREAT POST. I forgot to mention the pants size thing. I have pants a size bigger than I need, just to fit an inside the waist band holster in them.  A good holster is CRITICAL to being able to carry all day. A Comp-Tac M-Tac was one of the best investments I ever made, period.

I suggest not looking for a smaller gun.

I used a Sig 229 as a carry gun for years. It's a thick gun, so I carried it in a thin Kydex IWB holster (a Comp-TAC  CTAC) with a good gun belt (The Beltman). That concealed better than my Glock 29 in the same type of holster and belt.

My Sig 229 is my EDC

I carry one of two guns year round... a sig 220 45acp or a G20 10mm ( mostly the glock )

As mentioned, the right equipment makes this easier...ie; belt and quality holster and yes pants size too.

I carry a IWB Supertuck holster for both with a full sized leather belt... the pants , are a waist size bigger ( jeans ) for that reason.
I have no problem hiding the gun and it doesn't print...it's all a matter of what you wear.

Great thinking on the pants size, I am about ready to go up a size anyway lol.

All;


I am trying to carry my Sig 229 SAS/.357 sig.  Just found a holster that for the first time, makes it less than awkward.  I will keep wearing it to see if I can get accustomed to it.


Thanks for the input!

Buckeye, iwb carry is very awkward at first. But as the holster forms to your body, and you find that right spot for you (I carry at 4 o'clock). As you get more hours in carrying it, it starts to disappear. You find ways to sit in the car to keep it comfy and even alter the way you sit at the doctors office. It gets to a point where you feel awkward or naked without it.

Do some good hard work with your IWB holster on to speed the break-in process.  Body head and a little moisture move things along in that regard.

I also agree about moving it around some after you get the holster broken-in good.  I carry at 4:00 and at 1:00.  The G20 at 1:00 is sometimes a bit of a challenge, especially if I am doing carpentry work where I bend over at the waist alot.  But for sitting in a car, 1:00 is great.

I forgot to say, the most important thing, is practice drawing from where you wear it. Even when open carrying, if I practice drawing, I still grab for my shirt from muscle memory.
