I like the idea of an IWB holster, a good one, with a real belt, but there is no way I could conceal on my hip. I am thinking about carrying small of the back. Looks to me like I need a left-handed holster even though I am a righty just to put the cant right so I can reach up under a t-shirt and present. Can't do cross-draw because I need to be able to bend over. I am fully ignorant in this area. I don't know what to shop for, holster-wise.

Thoughts?

Not certain what you are looking for. I would recommend a clip type mounted on side of holster.

Got Milt Sparks. Looking into Crossbreed.

My concealed carry instructor said the only people who carried in fanny packs were either gay or didn’t know it was 2011.

What are you carrying? The size and shape of the gun means a lot.

[GizmosAndGadgets]

Crossbreeds are already picked-out and on my shopping list for immediate purchase (as soon as I actually have disposable income again, hopefully soon after Inauguration Day 2013 ;-)

What kind of firearm are you trying to conceal?

On what kind of physique? (Be honest, now.)

[Arlis]

No one can really advise you without knowing the exact weapon that you are carrying......

Most people go through a number of holsters trying to figure out which ones work for them. Often they find that they end up with two or three that they use on different occasions. The ones that I use the most are the Fobus paddle holsters made in Israel. They are made of polymer with stainless steel rivets. I find it convenient to be able to take them off and put them back on the waist band without removing the belt. You can position them anywhere on the waist band that you want. I carry mostly behind the right hip when I am out of the car, in the cross draw position when I am in a car. It only takes 20 seconds to take the holster and gun off and to reposition it.

Of course, I don't have much to worry about because Arizona has open carry and Constitutional carry and defensive display laws.

Another system that I often use while driving is a fanny pack with the seat belt positioned under the fanny pack. This insures that the gun stays with me if I have to brake hard or have a collision.

Holsters are very personal things. You will have to try some and see if they work for you.

Good luck!

This is my Crossbreed SuperTuck setup for my CZ 82. Very comfortable.

DO NOT use a left-handed holster on your right side.

Consider your draw, and you’ll see that you’ll be sweeping your right kidney and spine as you draw. This, combined with the need to slide your hand between your body and the pistol to grasp it, makes for a very clumsy and dangerous draw.

A good right-hand IWB can be positioned at the 4:30 position (over your right buttock) and will be much easier (and safer) to grasp and draw. My Raven Concealment Phantom IWB with belt loops works PERFECTLY with my Glock 19. However, they’ve become so popular that there’s about a four month wait. Yes, they’re that good.

Read up on this one
Kinda pricey though

You have started a Ford versus Chevy debate.

I have tried many methods of carry, any IWB I've tried is painful, small of the back is uncomfortable when I sit. Any method of carry that is uncomfortable, I'm not intrested. I prefer a pocket holster in the front pants pocket. It is comfortable in a hot climate, it doesn't get in the way. When I switched to pocket carry 10 years ago, I didn't have a gun that would fit in my pocket, I had to buy a snub nose revolver, I now have several.

Put it anywhere inside the belt. No belt clip required. A very “sticky” material keeps in place.

I’ve tried just about everything, IWB is probably the most concealable, but the little Yaqui Slide is OK, too. As of late, I’ve been carrying a full size 1911 in the Beltster, which is made right here in Texas. It is a belt with a molded loop on it, and the gun can be taken out, and it does’nt show as a holster. I position it with the muzzle tucked down in the back pocket of my jeans, and with shirttail out, I’m ready to go. There are some IWB holsters that can be worn with the shirttail in, but they are somewhat hard to access the gun then. I have carried a small of back (SOB) holster some, but don’t care for it when driving. They are fine for “stand up” jobs such as clerks might have, but they have limited use for me.
Most IWB holsters will “print” to some degree, if you bend over, but I don’t let that concern me here in TX, as long as the gun stays covered up.
If you choose one of the SOB holsters, Ihave a Galco and can recommend it, it is a well made leather holster that will last many years.

What do you carry? I usually carry a Kel-Tec P32 and use a small wallet-carry holster in my right-rear pocket. Looks just like I’m reaching for my wallet, but instead it comes out with 8 shots on tap.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Fobus paddle holster. Made in Israel!

I wear 511 Tactical shirts to conceal my Glock G26. There are velcro'd pouches in the front behind both pockets. I use a sheath type holster inside. Good looking shirts. Light or heavey, short or long sleave. I carry this way 90% of the time.It's real comfortable and you'll never get made.
