I would like to recommend a "SafePacker" from Wilderness Tactical. I carry mine on their 1 1/2" shoulder strap over my left shoulder since I am right handed. They were originally designed for use by Back Country Rescue folks since it totally protects the weapon and can be drawn fairly rapidly with practice. I carried my Sig P226 or a 1911 in one for years. It does swing around a bit and can be manipulated like a ladies' purse or, If a more secure carry method is desired the I use additionally a Wilderness's 1" shoulder strap worn around my waist attached to the Safe Pacher's dee rings. Interestingly when I ask LEO's where I am carrying a gun (I am a retired federal agent) they, quite surprisingly do not seem to notice the SafePacker. Amazing actually.

If you’re going to a pistol class to become a better shooter for carrying a weapon on you, you should actually use the small gun you carry everyday, not your full sized gun that stays at home on the nightstand.. if you’re going to that class to be better at shooting bigger guns, that’s different.

Please don't be insulted, but this seems to be some of the worst advice I've heard. You take a huge gun and add several pieces of stuff that adds to the weight and girth. I think a full size gun is great, not all the time, but when necessary. The no buckle subject, " make it look more like gun belt"!! Sorry to be negative. I'm sure it may all work for some people, but more people may quit carrying because of it. And appendix carry is not always the best carry.

Fat guy over here (6'3" about 290) and I have been carry appendix for about 6 years now. The first thing I learned is a good belt is KEY. Like you, I stick with a Blue Alpha Force gear built on the day to day, but I do have a KORE for when I need to be dressy. When I am carrying "small" it's either my P2000 or a Fauxland Special P-07, minus the comp, but I found carrying something full sized is easier to conceal. Since coming to the realization, I started purchasing my holsters for the next size up. So my P2000 is carried in a P30 holster and my P07 in a P09 holster.

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.

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.

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.

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.
@jordancrossgrove882713 күн бұрын
I’ve found that going with something smaller like a G43 or even a G42 works best. Throw on a Dr Scholl’s heel pad for a wedge that’s actually comfortable and it not only hides extremely well, but is more comfortable than having Kydex against your body all day. You might be giving up capacity for a smaller, more concealable gun, but it’s better than having a 15-17 round firearm that’s just left at home cuz you can’t conceal it well enough.
