All carry options have advantages and drawbacks.

Shoulder holster keeps the waist free of equipment, but you are stuck with wearing a jacket all the time. Does offer quick access to the gun.

Small of the Back carry is quite uncomfortable if you have to sit for any length of time and, again, you have to wear something to cover the gun. Does offer quick access to the gun.

Inside the waistband conceals pretty good and a loose shirt cover what little of the gun is exposed. Access to the gun is a bit slower.

Pocket holster, if you use a small gun, pretty well conceals the gun. Not going to win any fast draw contest with this carry. This is the carry I like and use most often. I can carry my Taurus 745 and the 145, .45 ACP semi auto, quite comfortablly in the holster and in my jeans pocket.

Belly band holster, if you use a small auto, is pretty neat. The elastic band holds the holster and gun snuggly against the body. You can move the gun pretty much anywhere around your torso. You have to wear a loose shirt and access to the gun can be awkward.

Thunder Wear is a holster system that lets you carry you gun over your groin. Never tried this one. Looks like sitting could be a problem. Drawing the gun is simply a matter of shoving your hand down the front of your pants. There is also the issue of have a loaded gun pointing at your favorite body parts. . .

Ankle holster. I hate these things. Chafe your ankle, make you limp, gun can come loose and fall off your ankle at inopportune times.

I would use a Milt Sparks Versa Max II (IWB)

VERY well made, not cheap, and takes a little while to get the holster out to you. They are all hand made and VERY durable.

Can wear just about anything un-tucked with this, and not have it print.

If that is not an option, I would usually wear a 5-11 shirt with the Velcro pockets. Might have an issue with larger frame weapons , but my ultra carry II works fine in this pocket. Access is a little slower than the Milt Sparks, but acceptable in most circumstances

If that is not an option, and Deep under cover is the main concern, and not weapon acquisition speed... then there is a 5-11 under garment with a built in pocket under both pits... holds the Ultra Carry II very well. I use this when I have to wear a suit, go out on the town, etc. You will have to unbutton a shirt to get at the weapon, but it is close by and ready in the event it is needed.

On those days while this is purely too warm for a concealment garment, and my blouse could be tucked in -- it does ensue as quickly as in awhile -- i take advantage of a pocket holster in my suitable front pocket for a small .380, a Colt government .380, Walther PP/ok .380, or a Kel-Tec .380, depending on which pants. It purely sounds like I also have a pockets in my front pocket. i stumble on that an ankle holster does not grant quickly adequate get admission to. And fanny packs or short situations are not sensible to hold around each and every of the time. I even have considered below shirts specially made with pocket for a small pistol variety of the place a shoulder holster might flow. whether, i've got on no account tried one, whether this is yet another decision you're able to desire to look into.

Answer 5

For "inside the waistband" and belt holsters, I don't think you can go wrong with Galco Holsters, and they have a wide variety of styles and fits. They have a great website for info on their products and handgun fit. (You can buy them at Cheaper Than Dirt, for most models.) Galco is pretty expensive, but I've never been disappointed.

For less expensive holsters that are basically just as good, but don't have the same fit and finish as Galco, look at the Bianchi Holster line.

For pocket holsters, which are great deep concealment for the smaller guns, the best I have used (and use regularly) is made by Kramer leather. But, they are pricey. $100 or a bit more for a pretty small holster. But they fit like a glove, break in to just a perfect fit that hold the gun upright in the pocket, and still lets go easily enough. Ross Leather comes highly recommended, (and is a lot cheaper), and sells from just a few website vendors. I have one, and it was a better deal for the money (e.g. $40+ instead of $100), but it is not like the Kramer, which performs perfectly and has held up for 8 years (I think) for me.

Avoid ankle holsters. You will put it aside after a use or two. Uncomfortable and inaccessible. They are useful only for carrying a second, very small (5 shot snubnose or smaller) gun.

I also avoid small of the back or cross draw holsters, since they take practice to use safely and you cannot use them at most ranges which is where you need to get the practice. Consider them special use holsters, not for normal concealed carry.

Buy a quality holster, and you won't end up with as many tried and abandoned holsters in your box. If you are buying for concealment, and it will be visible, get it in black. The tans and similar holsters look great, but are more visible. Good luck with the searching/trying.

Answer 6

I really like the Bianchi Pistol Pocket, but Rob Leahy at Simply Rugged Gunleather (http://www.simplyrugged.com/) makes some great inside the waistband holsters and pancake style holsters.

Tell him Doc Hudson sent you.

Old Fuzz hit it pretty much on the nail.
