The correct holster and clip setup makes a huge difference. Everyones body is different so the recipe is not standard and also why alot of us have 46 holsters for 10 guns😂. I carry a gen 3 glock 17 with a red dot and full size light appendix. Odin valknut holster with two rigid tuckable polymer clips is the key to my success carrying that gun. I went through two other holsters before I got this one made for my gun. I will say the off the shelf holsters are decent but the right holster for your body makes the biggest difference.

Two clips close together about the width of the holster and a wing make it real nice. I can conceal with a +5 extension on my mag no problem at all.

Blue alpha makes the best edc belt and affordable.

I have a Glock 45 and an Sig P365 X Macro TacOps. They are virtually the same size (a bit shorter barrel on the 365, but otherwise almost the same) but the TacOps is much thinner, has a better grip angle, but the same capacity. I carry my TacOps (which I HAVE taken classes with) bone stock. I have no need for an optic or a light on my carry pistol, and I can conceal it with no trouble in a Desantis belt slide at about 3:00-3:15. For what it’s worth, I can conceal the Glock 45 the same way, but I shoot the Sig better, so that’s what I carry.

A good belly band placing the full size gun in the hollow between swell of belly and rib cage with two extra mags beneath a loose shirt is a great EDC.

Wait... So you're having yours sit right around your Diaphram, like above the bellybutton? Is that accessible? That would seem like a super difficult draw and also really difficult to keep concealed? I've been having a lot of trouble finding a good way to carry a full size without showing God and everyone else. Does it really work well for you?

Solid advice, especially lifting the belt line. I'm 5'4", about 145 ibs. I bought a full-size m&p 2.0 with a holosun dot, got training, and then a tier 1 holster. I find baggier shirts, especially flannel, really helps on breaking the outline. I also cant the pistol slighly on my dominant side and its damn comfortable. I dont run the extra mag though thats what will make it uncomfortable. Just keep an extra mag in my pocket.

I'm in the 6'1" 3mumblemumble weight range. Things I am discovering, from experience: 1. No matter what anyone else says, a beavertail of any size is a bad idea for appendix - I stopped even trying to carry, with my old Shadow Systems because it felt like someone was driving a thumb into my gut. Every. Single. Time. 2. Most Kydex holsters seem to have rivets to one side or the other - my JX Tactical light-bearing has a big old slab running underneath the light (obv) that makes it -very- hard to get truly comfortable with it - Find ones that utilize that real estate for clips, wings, etc. 3. Definitely ride it higher, not lower. Lower is the big selling point on the JX Tactical Fat Guy holster, and it shows. Even set up as high as I can get it, the handle still rides tight to my belt, and I can see myself getting hung up in it. 4. Look into a good undershirt; my gut gets pinched, my belly hairs get pulled. When I get the opportunity to comfortably wear an undershirt, it makes a world of difference.

Great video man. I carry a 5” M&P with an X300 and SRO in an Axis Elite 10 hours a day. Everybody could carry a full size if they took the time to mess with the adjustments like you talked about. You use all of the same tricks I do on the daily!

Thank you for the work you put into information and I appreciate it as big guy also. 👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Great video thanks

Well done.

I bought a Beretta 92x GTS hoping to be able to carry it with a light. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to carry it concealed without it being very obvious and/or uncomfortable. I'd love to solve this mystery someday.

Props to the guys and girls who carry full size because we don't care about showing.

Luckily, I am very proficient with my HK vp9sk with iron sights. Smaller footprint than any full size that I would carry.

Full size 4.5 PDP in an ANR kydex AIWB w/wing every day. No issues in shorts and a T-shirt. If I do print its cool because people generally aren't looking at your crotch.

Nice!

Interesting!

I am in a power wheelchair and I am sitting most of the day. my preferred carry method is AIWB in a leather holster. with the gun being around the size of a g3c.

That is the perfect ccw size for the averge person honeslty. It's comfortable sitting down, standing, laying you name it.

Only being 6' tall & 160 lbs Thanksgiving evening I carry an older Taurus PT845 that I have loved for years & its a bit on the larger side compared to my 365xl/ Macro. I'll always have one on me though. 🤘🇺🇸 #ARJunkie #2ARights #RepealNFA #AlwaysBeCarrying #ABCs

Micro and Sub-compact is where I live for AIWB. I have to really get used to compact sized guns in the AIWB. Maybe my body structure. I normally carry compact sized at 4 o’clock, strong side concealed.

Just can’t appendix carry with a beer belly even my small one. But great video

Whats your thoughts on the Hunter Christian Belt?

5 foot 6 and 139 pounds. I carry a g22 and a 17 in an alien gear cloak tuck. Alien gear holsters are designed for large frame pistols. Mixed with a hanks “gunner” belt. It’s easy!

Is the comp a Radian?

i struggle to conceal just about anything. im in florida and it gets hot most of the year. im limited to tshirts 90 percent of the time. not sure what i can really do. fanny packs tend to be the only thing that actually conceals for me.

I’m familiar with both and own both but for a different sidearm. If you’re a 2 is one person, a sidecar helps even out the appendix as well as an extra mag slot. Tenicor makes holsters with an integrated “bump” in the kydex rather than a detachable wing without the sidecar. The bump helped me get my grip closer to my body. I get what you mean about the wing not making contact like it should.

Sorry, I know a lot of people that carry. I’m glad you’re 65 dude. Caring all that shit is uncomfortable as hell , I carry 365 XL all day every day. It’s a pain in the ass. .. I do not live in Chicago. I’m 61 other than being in the military I’ve never had a gun pulled on me.. if anyone positive thing we’ve gotten out of this video is you have a lot of training . Caring inside the waist is uncomfortable either you accept it or you don’t . Whether it be 4 o’clock 1 o’clock or 12 o’clock. It’s a pain in the ass.

I only carry full size cuz you know I'm a man I hate little girl guns...but I do have gorilla mitts for hands so....

I look like a biker. That makes something like a button-up shirt overlooked by the public, even when it's warm (doesn't get that bad in Nebraska anyway) That is why I carry OWB just slightly behind 3 o'clock. My full-sized pistols actually carry better than a sub-compact in that position.

*vertx SOCP Fanny pack🤞🏻🥰😂

I'd rather carry a full size over a compact.

Carrying a gun is supposed to be comforting not comfortable.

And after trying those basic carry tips I came looking for something more advanced and found this guy telling me to wear my pants uncomfortably high. At some point u need to tell ppl they're only so big, and the pocket ur body creates to carry in can't be tricked into being bigger. Find the overall length ur body can fit and find a gun u like in that range. Stop trying to force it. Being uncomfortable isn't just part of carrying everyday. Fuckin snake oil

With all of the options out there today there is absolutely no need to carry a full size pistol. Makes no sense.

If this were true then there would be no such thing as full size pistols anymore. There are tons of clear advantages to carrying a full size gun.

I know Glocks are great guns but, I get so sick of hearing about them. Everytime somebody mentions a model number makes no stinking reference to me. Give an actual size comparison.

Also very annoying that a “Glock 40” is actually a 10mm auto and a “Glock 22” actually fires a .40 S&W… and the Glock that is actually chambered in .22 rim fire is called the “Glock 44.” Haha Annoys the hell out of me.

The way to carry a full size handgun, lies in your 'gun belt', and a very good OWB/IWB leather holster. I have 2 handguns that I alternate carrying over the past 15+ years...... A Springfield Armory 1911A1 in .45 ACP, or a Sig Sauer P365XL in 9mm...depending on where my destination takes me.
