As a fellow Veteran, you Sir are Never outdated on weapons carry 😬 maybe the ‘mode’ of carry per se. Pending when you were in the military, for me ‘84-‘92, (and several years in the Reserves), I trained & carried the 1911, then the M9 🤢🤮, the M14 & M16, plus shotguns (and machine guns) 😬😎 Now a days I still carry a 1911 10mm, or an IWI Masada Slim/Glock 19 clone (BUL Armory Cleaver), AND Always a small pocket pistol like a Ruger LCP. The times have changed, BUT your training with Uncle Sam set the baseline for you to comfortably conceal carry. Jason & his crew will give you some very much needed guidelines/refreshers to regain your confidence and help in returning you to an armed & prepared citizen. Your best step is seeing a need and filling that requirement with solid instruction. That’s Awesome!

I have been out for a long time. I carry EVERYDAY, whether it is a NAA revolver, LCP MAX, or Glock. The key is to train, carry , and know your limitations.

As a CCW'er for over 47 years I've literally tried and utilized EVERY carry method with almost every type of pistol from 2-shot derringer to snubby to full-size 1911-platform. I've done ankle, shoulder, IWB, appendix, small-of-back, pocket, off-body, etc,. A pistol at home ain't of gonna do me any good sitting in my safe because it literally pains me to carry even a G19 IWB. As I've said, I'm no spring chicken and have been carrying for decades and I've settled on OBC in a sling pack. I recognized the many shortcomings of this style of carry, but my rationale is, I'll sacrifice a bit draw speed for the comfort of actually HAVING the pistol on me. Knowing I'm a bit behind the curve drawing from OBC, I'm extremely hyper vigilant and I'm always assessing and managing distance from potential threats. Basically, anyone can talk nonsense about how they and don't care about the discomfort when you're young and new to the game, but run your system for a consistent 3-5 years, and then we'll talk. OBC does have it's place, and NO it is NOT OPTIMAL, but at least you'll have SOMETHING!

@Bobs2cents

I agree with you 100%! I've tried IWB, OWB and other methods. I know some don't agree but I find pocket carry to be the most comfortable. It ensures that I will always have my firearm on me when I leave the house. Now, during cold months I have more options to carry with heavy outside clothing. I much rather have my tool, no matter what, than to be caught without.

I carry open on property. I have a place in my truck that is very close to hand. It’s just too uncomfortable to carry anywhere on me but inside a pocket. I don’t go anywhere that screams assault me . Gas stations seem to be the major likelihood for an ambush and I’m walking the 4 corners of my vehicle. Panhandlers don’t even approach because I’m not approachable. My pistols in my pocket at convenience store stops. Crime can happen anywhere and I lessen the chances by staying in after dark and being vigilant at other times. A short stay in my pocket seems to be all that’s necessary especially on 105 degree days

Your probably never going to be in a situation where it’s a gun duel, fastest draw wins. I like obc because most bad guys won’t have a clue what you have in your bag as long as it’s secured to your body so someone can’t run up and just pull on it like a purse. I’ve never drawn my gun on anyone thank god but I have been in situations where I know I’m being followed and without giving them attention I simply pull my Spiderco Para 3 out and act like I’m cutting a string off my shirt and that’s been enough to make them turn the other way fast. Bad guys look for people that seem like easy targets because they don’t want any trouble or struggle.

This was excellent. Yall should do Table talks like this once a week.

I rely like this type of video. A lot of processing information, thought provoking issues and scenarios. You're videos are packed full of real helpful information. This is one of my favorite channels for real information. Thank you for all of your content to try and help us with awareness, safety & training.

Really enjoyed this. A ton of important and and very useful information was discussed. No bs just honest opinions and straight facts were shared for the community. Thank you

This was a great format . I’ve been watching your channel for at least six months, and this format works for me.

Excellent format, very informative, thanks for letting us listen in. Jason, your right about the comfort factor, I suppose there's a trade off for everything. A little discomfort for the ability to defend yourself, loved ones, and others.

This video is excellent. It is so for its time and place. As are each of the videos in their time and place. definitely one of my fav channels.

I have been using this style of off body carry these days for evening walks in the neighborhood with my wife. Here in SE Texas it is hot and very humid. Carrying in a cross draw pack really works in this case. I can put my ID, some med, light and gun in there and its not getting soaked with sweat. I have clear visibility of anyone approaching from long distances which allows plenty of time to prep pack and undo zipper if needed. Situational awareness is key.

I like the table talk too. Going over different ideas and discussing them.

Nice talk guys. I learned a lot again. I’ve been cw carrying for 26 years and determined a long time ago that holster discomfort is nothing compared to the discomfort I feel if I don’t have a gun on my body. I did go to a Vertx bag for my MPX to carry at church and other family and friend situations. I’m able to have and provide access to med supplies, a controllable firearm, and magazines if a situation arises where my on body weapon needs some help.

Comfortability is not the primary consideration but it is high on the list for one simple reason,if you’re not comfortable or at least somewhat comfortable you will be less likely to carry. The key is to find the holster/firearm combination that is comfortable enough to carry every day and that you are proficient with. Considering the variety of available holsters today there’s a holster that fits everyone! Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it!

In all of the training I’ve done (and do), I have always listened and engaged in table-talks like this because you gain a huge amount of knowledge just by paying attention to other people’s experiences and thoughts. It sparks ideas and opens my mind to possibilities in training so that I can become a smarter defender and protector. Thank you for this! Looking forward to more!

So much thanks for service and I cant say that enough. Was in military special ops back in the day a little. Love watching these kinds of conversations. I'm using a different gun, ammo brand and bag, but love this.

Nice to hear the honest answer that, essentially, "none" of the carrying methods/holsters are _comfortable_ . It's so tempting to hop from one holster to another, believing that the next one will be _comfortable_ . I'm old skewl and don't want to relearn something unless really necessary, so I'm stickin' with my outside the waistband, on the hip, holster.

Great information, thanks for taking the time and sharing your knowledge with us.

The fanny/mini sling bag doesn't immediately indicate there's a gun in there. These types of bags have been coming back into style for a while. Went on a vacation with 3 couples and all of us had some kind of little bag/fanny pack to carry stuff. You just have to get a less tactical looking bag

100 percent agree the carry regardless of on body/ off body will always be a trade off with comfortability. However with the off body in altercation or a real life scenario such as running and jumping a fence or fighting off a opponent you are much more susceptible to a bad situation.

That was an extremely interesting and informative discussion. I carry appendix except when running where I use a different method . Regardless of carry method, we need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of that method, and learn and practice techniques to mitigate the weaknesses as much as possible.

This was a great video and the discussion/points made were great as well! Thank you and god bless!

Great discussion as always, guys. Those packs are a great option for some of our wheelchair bound frens. Stay alert, Ramen clam.

Great job, guys. Enjoyed your perspectives on this topic.

A big plus for off body is that some places now use thermal imaging and AI analysis to identify people who are carrying on body... if carrying in an off body (like a satchel style) makes it easier to carry in non permissive environments where they have these scanning capabilities.

Great video. From what I've seen in the past fanny packs holsters had a pull tab fixed inside of the outer flap. It made deploying your pistol a lot quicker vs trying to find and grab for a zipper pull.

I love this channel. I was recently thinking about this particular topic as well. I do feel on body carry is the best. Sometimes it’s not the most comfortable choice, but for me, it is the best choice.

I use the Fieldcraft Survival Fanny pack and I’ve loved mine. Makes carrying a gun a lot more comfortable. The problem is what you gain in comfortability, you’re going to loose in accessibility. It takes a little more time to get to it. I drive roughly 4 hrs or more to various job sites around the SouthEast and this Fanny pack makes it so easy to keep a gun on you at all times even while driving.

You touched on the FMJ rounds v JHP rounds. One thing I learned when it comes to the type of ammo you have in your EDC when conceal carrying is if you carry the FMJ rounds, and have to use your EDC in a self defense situation, you could potentially own every person struck by a FMJ round who is an innocent bystander. I save the FMJs for the range and carry JHPs for self defense carry.

What you said may be true. But I thin it is also important to reflect historically that people use to carry .32 revolvers with .32 round nose lead cartridges and got the work done just fine. These days people are obsessed with round count, caliber, Type of cartridge and fast draw/optics and light riggers. Not saying there is anything wrong with that but its something to note.

This is a great situation where a designer crossbody bag is the best option. People will think you were just overzealous with money or trying a new fashion piece but you could easily modify an interior pocket for a firearm.

I tend to think in situational terms, for general EDC where I can have a loose, untucked shirt, AIWB is the go too. Then there are other situations where some form of OWB, or OB may make more sense. At the end of the day, carrying concealed is mostly a mix of tradeoffs. Boiling down the situations to the smallest likely set needed, keeping things simple as possible, and training reliviously are key to success/survival.

I use both options. It's situational for me. I love that I can use my carry bag as an emergency kit as well. I do believe comfortability matters too. Discomfort will discourage the average civilian from carrying. It can also make them feel paranoid in social settings if the discomfort is keeping the gun on their mind.

I really enjoyed this video and I would love to see more like this!

VERY good informative video! Good options for carry to consider. Thanks for sharing. God bless you. 👍❤🙏

Pretty much my only use of a fanny pack is for carrying a Smith and Wesson 9C (similar in size to a Glock 26) while mountain biking. I have a CAT tourniquet attached to the belt. Its front compartment contains a "stop the bleed" kit, pocket notebook, pen and wallet. In the main compartment is the firearm and spare magazine. I have a medical "morale" patch and O+ blood type patch velcro'd to the front which may or may not help with the issue of it screaming "gun."

I have the same issue with getting it right. It’s a tedious process. You can do 3 o clock position and use a belly band to compress the butt of the handle. Just make sure to practice that extra step. The belly band prints or digs into my boys on appendix. Winter time is easy with the chest.

Alex should definitely check out the videos Phlster put together on proper holster positioning and fit. Will help you with the AIWB issue of printing he's having! On another note, I think there are plenty of devotees to concealed carry who will suffer an uncomfortable holster, but a lot of folks won't, and when you find a more comfortable method of carry (which can be done) it makes carry so much more appealing and pleasant because you don't have anything jamming you in places on your day-to-day routine. I'm no fanboy of any particular brand and am still searching for a better option that what I have, but having tried more than one option, especially for AIWB, there are times I forget I'm even carrying, and times when I can't wait to get rid of it! Some of that comfort changes depending on what type of pants/belt combo I'm wearing. SOO many variables, but I don't think we should settle for something that's truly a pain to wear because we've bought into the idea that carrying is "comforting" and not "comfortable." My two cents.

I love your videos. I get so much out of them!

So i researched for like 2 months on a sub-compact ish striker fired polymer frame 9mm and came across the Springfield XDs Mod2 OSP 3.3" with a Pegasus Slim tuk IWB holster $27 i carry light 85 grain NOVX defenders with a 7 round mag so it doesn't show on my skeleton like body. I bought the pricey Nexbelt and it's really not all that comfortable, i actually use a $25 Dickies belt for my EDC. I've been carrying this XDs now close to 2 years now at work doing lawn care to roof work, tearing off shingles and laying new sheets of plywood. Bending over constantly, sure i have a couple pinch marks on my stomach from my holster/slide but it's really not that bad if you can manage the weight! Having said all of that the IWI Massada Slim was my next contender but i couldn't find it at the time.

3 of 7 just covered this recently. Both great videos

As a dad (to a toddler) a fanny pack is a great option since it allows me to carry other small items in addition to my firearm and maintain concealment and movement for dad stuff

The word “threat” is vague. Think last that word or feeling. If you don’t, you’ll never understand why friendly fire occurs. Are you shooting a person that has just defended themselves and is maybe moving to cover? Are they a threat to you or are you defending someone else? Can you use the firearm with a backdrop? Are you going to assess the backdrop? Not having time is not going to help you if you take an innocent life. In other words, we train to be fast in the draw etc. but you still should only be shooting as fast as you can ASSESS…that’s as fast as your brain can go under a particular stress. So sometimes as Frog was saying, you need to exercise the brake. Oddly enough, it might mean slowing down.

I am very new to the CCW- I researched the best fanny pack for me to be the Eberlestock Bando Bag. I found a company named Neo-Mag that have a set up with a Kydex holster just for small OR large packets. I'm using this set up ONLY for going to and from the gym & yoga. I sweat A LOT in Texas and practicing these activities. I wanted to keep the moister away from the pistol as much as possible. This was a great segment- thank you !!

Alex, look at the Hill People Gear videos re: opening the holstering compartment of their chest rigs and fanny pack. They recommend pealing the bag open vs grabbing the paracord ties and unzipping it. I never wear the HPG rig in the urban world, but I do use the chest rig whilst backpacking and hiking in the woods.

Jason, just a side note as an update to your video regarding how to improve your accuracy by squeezing not just your shooting trigger finger but squeezing the entire hand, reset, count to 3, squeeze and repeat. I went out to my local range and couldn’t believe how my griping tightened up practicing your drill. I’m talking baseball size grouping! I just wanted to thank you and have subscribed to your channel. Additionally, I enjoy the table side chat.

Isn't the concept NOT to squeeze your entire hand, but only the trigger finger?

A lot of good points made. I carry comfortable with a carry pack. But one thing as well that I didn’t see unless I missed it, it also depends on what bag you get and how you set yourself up. 945 makes a great bag with a pull down strap that is just as quick to draw as lifting your shirt for IWB. As for the spare magazine. I carry two extra magazines. One is always in my pocket because I practiced grabbing the extra mag from my pocket and the third magazine is in the sling pack. There have been plenty of times where I wouldn’t carry simply because I couldn’t conceal well with what I was wearing or I had a weird walk because of how uncomfortable it was for what I was wearing. With the Fanny pack carry, it never matters what I’m wearing I can always carry

As a person who practices both methods, there are situations for both. Honestly training as much as I can when I can has helped my confidence. 10 minutes of draw training with both has helped my confidence with the way I do both ways. That’s the key for me.

I was contemplating, but thanks to this video my questions answered.

One other thing. Alien Gear Holsters have a Velcro backed holster. I got that to use for my Glock 43x in my carry bag. Can work for any bag that allows hooknloop.

You use your left hand to grab the gap and pull open the compartment while simultaneously using your right hand to grab the pistol and begin the draw.

~3:10 you can be comfortable carrying a firearm, and the goal of comforting over comfortable is regurgitating what some tactiturd guy said in the 80s-90s. I totally get the underlying meaning and would be the same way. However, after carrying for 31 years, I EDC AIWB a XTEN w a TLR1-HL for just over a year now. The first XTEN has just under 800 rds fired and the one I’m carrying now has over 4K rds fired. Prior to was other forms of full-size handguns. With that, I try on and buy clothes (Kohl’s, Walmart, some from Cabela’s etc for that “gray man” vs 5.11, vertx etc.) while wearing my EDC rig - gun, knife, light, wallet, keys etc. It’s a pain in the fourth point of contact but the return on investment in time and effort is tremendous. My cover shirts and pants are a size or two bigger than I would otherwise wear. I use a ratchet belt, and on my holster, I GOON tape a piece of foam padding cut out from a $4 seat cushion from Walmart. The padding forms nicely to my body, and curls around the muzzle end of the holster. When I wear my M18 in the same manner, I nearly “forget” it’s there. Obviously I don’t, but it’s so comfortable it’s almost like not wearing a gun at all. This allows me to comfortably carry a pistol I’d rather fight with if a threat puts me in that situation.

Excellent format! Thanks and God bless!

Vertx makes a belt adapter panel with velcro backing that you can slide your regular OWB or IWB kydex holster into.

One thing about carrying in a fanny pack is they’ll be subjected to search at certain places.

God Bless you and your Team and Family Brother and thank you so much for teaching us skills that I can pass along to my Daughter and Grandson and Family. ❤️🖖🏼🇺🇸

I used to hate off body carry. After an injury where I could not wear a tight belt or holster. I had to learn how to get comfortable with off body carry.

this channel was recommended by YT. I enjoyed the camera angle & focus on Mr. 🐸's gunns. Could do without all that ink on them, but Rrrrrribit! 💋

Alex demonstrated more proficiency drawing from the Fanny pack than more individuals seem to exhibit drawing from an OWB holster. I’ve used Fanny packs, both the ones marketed by holster companies, and small, inexpensive versions not intended for anything other than carrying wallet keys and cell phone. I prefer the latter for those rare moments, including gym but they don’t come off or get far away from me. I use that method only because it don’t doesn’t stand out and scream gun. It’s so mall a G19 wouldn’t fit, but a five shot or G43 will. I’ve been “made” twice by LE using a pack designed to carry a handgun. I was in LE myself so nothing came of it, but off body carry doesn’t necessarily equate to concealment. Stopped using those bags for anything but storage. Could use them for med kits, I suppose, but going into a “non permissive” are might get you searched. The points you brought up are valid and excellent advise.

Ccw in a pouch/bag is a very viable option. Employers for one don't give bags a second thought. Gray in this setting is a bag.

Always pondering and updating

I just picked up a 5.11 small fanny pack that's been out for years - I'm sure you guys have seen it. The tab can be left outside the zipper for quick entry, although there is not a lot of room in there. My use is for when at the gym and I would certainly take it on a walk or hike (when legal). Other times I choose OWB carry, usually with a small P365. The 5.11 makes carrying even a bigger handgun very comfortable, but it obviously says "I'm carrying" as you guys have noted. One guy at the gym gave me a look one day but didn't say anything. I love knowing that people around me are legally carrying - not everyone shares my opinion!

Yes. I 💯 agree. Learning gun laws is a challenge sometimes, especially if your state CCWP is honored in other states like how i live in Florida. Florida CCWP is honored in 37 other states. So i have to go onto my USCCA account every two weeks and look up changes to those states, and or keep my mind fresh on those 37 state laws. As far as carrying. Im appendix, strong side, and i have a ankle back up

I am 65. I am somewhat disabled after 28yrs in the Army. My left shoulder is all kinds of messed up. Same for my back, have had three surgeries, lots of metal in there. (that is a whole different story) I am left-handed. I converted to right hand as my primary shooting hand. I carry external of my pants. I draw cross handed with the right hand at the 10:30 position (G19). My daily clothing is jeans, long sleeve work shirt untucked, boots, hat. I live very rural. I do get out and ride my mountain bike all the time. I carry a belly band setup then (G43). I have carried my entire life. I have evolved (old man talk for had to make changes due to mother nature and age). Everyone, find what carry method works best for you. Train without ammo, deploying the firearm. It is free. What you wear can aid you or restrict you. Never give up, never quit.

Really enjoyed the discussion.

You can stagger ammo for extensions in firefights involving vehicles, walls etc.

Photography bags: it's like they were made for concealed carry. Padded, lined with velcro, branded with non-threatening labels. Aww, it's a tourist or a birder.

Fanny packs are great when going to the gym. Bring a small gym bag and throw the fanny back in there. No round in chamber. Keeping it close and eyes on it. Throw it on right after the workout. Appendix with round in chamber for everything else is the way.

As always great video I've always carry with a iwb holster

Good video, looked at the pros and cons of carry. Thank you.

Very interesting conversation, enjoyed the video and shop talk. Question, would you ever consider doing Shawn Ryan’s podcast? Or doing videos like that?

I have too much stuff to take for the day so I have to have some pack of sorts. I think tight chute makes the best carry packs and something I just thought of was to carry on body and have the pack sit where the gun is for more concealment. Because people do see you walking around with a bag strapped to you and that WILL be the first thing they try to steal or grab in a fight. Hate stuff in my pockets so fannys are nice

As one who has carried over 45 years there is something I have found to be true. If the weapon is too uncomfortable to carry, you will leave it at home / work (as a LEO). IMO comfort is a definite contributor for real carry. Yes there is a time needed to get used to it but you must find a comfortable method of carry. I have used 4:00, 3:00 and for a while a fanny pack back in the 80's. The Appendix carry is still new to me.

Appendix is definitely one of the least comfortable however the ease of access that it offers to the firearm is where is shines. Thanks for watching God bless.
