Yes maybe a little biased but I firmly believe if I can get more people to buy these the price will come down! Feel like a teenager buying the latest fade pants at $90 each. They work though.lol

IWB sucks. I have the holsters to do so for both my S&W Shield and Glock 17 but if I can use an OWB holster, I will.

drivingagain · 09-14-2016, 04:35 PM

Here in Florida has to be 100% concealed not shadows or images. So OWB is not very practical unless you ride harleys and have a leather vest on. lol

FenwickHockey65 · 09-14-2016, 04:50 PM

Not really. I use Blackhawk CQC OWB holsters and just wear an untucked shirt over it. No printing.

By the way, if you read the statute regarding concealed carry, there really isn't anything that outlaws printing.

I don't see that in Florida law, where is it?
You can unintentionally show, that I did find.

I REALLY like Blackhawks but they're hard on a gun's finish. Admittedly I was on a bumpy tractor all day, but beat up the pistol pretty bad.

You need to be aware of finger placement during draw, pressing the release and drawing quickly you'll find your finger pressing the side of the trigger. It's a draw that really needs to be practiced, the more the better.

Correct not going to jail. Although they can still call the cops and they have to do their jobs and investigate normally not just a pull to the side and ask questions when a gun is involved. I get it you can carry owb. Not my best way of concealing though and I think with the new pants and jackets made for it there is proving grounds it has been improved to the point holsters are not needed. Just my $.02.

I am happily willing to learn different with proof of it though.

Mr Twisty · 09-14-2016, 07:29 PM

I wear pants similar to those, Tru-Spec 24-7, but no insert in the lower pocket. Spare mags are fine but a pistol, not for me. Done it. Don't like it.

Of course I'll try before I buy and check reviews but I figured if anyone knows, it would be you. Leap of faith here guys! haha!

Highly, Highly recommended, a little pricey but not for the quality you get. Leather lined kydex.....woot!

I guess that fixes my issues with Kydex, how is the sweatband side?

Dizzy82 · 09-15-2016, 10:39 AM

I personally use nylon IWB holsters whenever I do so.

Mr Twisty · 09-15-2016, 11:20 AM

Whatever you use, practice your clear and draw with an empty weapon one million times.

When you do practice with live rounds, bring a friend. Just in case you put a round through your leg... and NO HOLLOW POINTS!!!

Pro's have done it. None of us are bulletproof.

Could've been this guy, but it was a farce. I remember the story back in the day, lol.
