Where To Wear Your Holster

(1) ...Again, stuffing the draw or stripping you of your gun with such a holster is childs play...


(2). Strong side or slightly further back is where the most speed and concealment is had.

1. Really??? I dare you. There are other elements that can be utilized aside from the draw if you're that close. Like you'll get stabbed in the face...

2. AIWB beats 0300-0500 o'clock every time, especially if you wind up in a FUT on the ground.

Disprove...

Special Delivery to your mom's basement ...

Just because I disagreed with your post that Fobus makes quality gear. You come and troll my old posts.

Get a life.

Keep advocating Fobus as quality gear. :kickInTheNuts:

Nope ... not trolling your old posts. Researching. You insulted me, and I was just trying to determine if you had any genuine (as in "real life") credibility.

So, f**k you :)

And you screwed-up the punctuation again.

Nice title on your post btw.

Keep going and editing your posts so you don't seem like a dunce. And now you're criticizing my punctuation?

No I don't live in my moms basement and in fact I carry a gun for a living. Again, get a life.

Would you like a hurt feelings report?
 
Them edits ...

Yup, I did some editing. Everything that I'd written was 100% true, and reasonable, but I later realized that I'd maybe said too much.

AIWB is fast, but it doesn't work for everyone and it doesn't work in all situations, nor does it work for all makes and models. AIWB also sacrifices conceal-ability. There is no perfect solution.

That wasn't the premise of the argument - you stated that 0300 to behind the hip was where the most speed was found. It doesn't need to work for everyone and it gives up nothing as far as concealment is concerned. I can do it with an untucked polo or button-down, especially good with a sweat shirt and you'd have no idea I was carrying. Even an over-sized t-shirt hides it so long as it's dark in colour. Works well for me, but then I don't wear fitted shirts and skinny jeans...

It works for my P7's, my G19/23 and my M&P's. It would work for my Brownings also if I were inclined to holster a C&L SA auto at that spot which I'm not. It is superb for 2-3" wheelguns up to K-frame in size but would be less than ideal with a 6" N-frame. I can, however carry a 7.5" Ruger SA there so long as I don't have to sit.

It is the fastest to access in a H2H confrontation and the easiest to get to without transmitting your intent - when you clasp hands in front of you, it is pretty much under you hands.

I agree that there's no perfect solution, but for the right people it is one of the very best choices.

I think my rationale stands...
 
Chic ###lord's Handgunner's Guide is still available, and it is still a most-excellent reference for handgun holster discussion.

Thank goodness ...

You just know a guy named Chic ###lord has got to know something about self defense.....:p

Good for you. It seems that most folks in The Hard West seem to have lost the use of their funny-bone.

Notwithstanding "The Irrelevant Show" from sunny Spruce Grove ... which is awesome.
 
One holster carry method discussed in Handgunner's Guide was very common in it's day, but I have never seen it mentioned or discussed anywhere else.

As an aside, I recall from my adult-education days that we were forbidden to demonstrate, discuss, or even to mention certain specified (controversial) tactics to students for fear of a student going into the field and trying and/or employing them (and thus perhaps creating some legal liability for the institution). Even when a student asked, we had to immediately terminate the discussion, because just discussing it it was forbidden. That, in my opinion, was a sad attitude and a poor way of dealing with things.

I believe that the reason we don't see that particular holster carry method discussed anywhere else is for fear of liability, and this too, in my opinion, is a poor way of dealing with things.

Once again, I highly recommend Chic ###lord's book.
