Title: Conceal Carry
Post by: BigMike on December 04, 2015, 07:45:34 AM
I've had my permit for 22 years.  Used to always keep a G19 in my vehicle but never really carried.  About 5 years ago I started carrying more and more.  Now, I carry ALL the time.  The only time that I don't is at work or the gym.  If I leave work to go to lunch, the gun goes with me.

I bought Ruger LCP when they came out.  They're not a good shooting gun but it is something that I never even knew I had with me.  DeSantis pocket holster makes it disappear.  In October, I bought a G43.  I have 5 different holsters for it but I always know it's there.  I still can't get used to IWB holsters but the Alien Gear is definitely the most comfortable.  For an OWB, I have a Fobus Kydex that is easy to clip on and stays fairly close to my body.  I used to worry about guns printing, but lately I just don't give a shit.  Now that "winter" is here, it isn't a problem.

What are you guys carrying and how often?

I carry every day.
I carry outside the waist with Black Point Tactical leather wing Holsters.

I carry a Glock 42 .380 or a Glock 26 9mm

I am buying this weekend a Glock 43 9mm

I also will be getting a Galco Ankle glove to try that

I did get a nice Galco leather holster to carry my Glock 19 if I am going to be in a crowded area  because it holds more rounds.

I have a DeSantis pocket holster for the G43 and it works good with loose pants, great with cargo shorts.

I have a Galco leather holster for my G19 as well.  Keeps it close.  I just don't like to have to remove my belt to put it on.

carry my small .38 alot.   in church, to the store.  i had been leaving in locked in my jeep at work, but lately i'm thinking about violating my companys policy and just keeping it concealed ..   and feeling better about my personal protection.

not sure about all this policy stuff.   if someone comes in loaded to bear, with semi-auto's etc.  people are going to die, personally i would feel better if im hold up someplace, and they barge in.  .  .  I want to shoot back, i'm pretty sure that would deter them, .   and personally if folks knew its ok to carry, im 100% sure that 99% of the crazys would think twice before attempting to kill people that had the ability to shoot back.   

when will companys and business learn

My opinion when you conceal carry and do it well carry it everywhere. Maybe the only place would be a government building where they have police wanting people on entry.

110% with Bobby that if you conceal well, then carry anywhere you want, screw their policies if it is actually concealed then no one is the wiser, and if something went down id much rather go to court than in the ground. My wifes employer is super anti carry and I bought her a purse with a concealed pocket that zips so there is no way they would ever know, but it has taken a while to get her to actually put it in there and go in with it.

I didnt get serious about carrying everywhere till i got a 1911 commander with a bobtail that was comfortable, but i went thru several holsters before i found what would work all day.. but now i have swapped to a G19 that has a good bit of personal touches, stippling, night sights, ghost trigger, and I carry it in a Haley Strategic IWB holster that can be carried lotsa different ways, but is meant for appendix carry. One in the pipe pointed at your man jewels takes a lil while to get used to tho, so it rides at 3o'clock unless the clothes arent right to cover. But when I say daily carry I mean ALL day in this shop, dealing with customers doing estimates, rolling around under stuff working, welding, painting.. One of the main reasons I swapped from the 1911 is how nasty it would get just in a few days time, something that wouldnt bother the Glock at all.

Yes unfortunately you will probably end up buying several holsters till you find what fits your body the best and the best position.  I carry OWB About 5oclock on the kidney area.

I have a number of pistols that I keep "nearby".  Glock G22 in my bedroom.  A G19 in the living room, kitchen, garage and take it with me in the car or jeep.  Also have a mid size Ruger SR9c.  I have tried to carry the SR9c and the G19 and just have not found a comfortable way to holster them.  Trying holsters gets expensive but I am not going to give up, I'll keep trying.

I am going to try the Glock G43, single stack for carry.  Plan to pick it up this month hopefully with a holster based on some of the feedback here and on other sites. I also plan to try the ankle holster.  My dad carries the G42 on an ankle holster and really likes it.

The fact of the matter on the theory of protecting yourself with a gun is that you need to have it when something goes wrong...and you don't get to pick the time and place when shit goes down.  Keeping one in the car and then not having it with you when you are out and about just doesn't cut it. I need to get proactive on finding a safe and comfortable way to CC all the time.

The 43 was just too fat for me. The S&W fits in my hand and feels good compared to the 43 and Ruger LC9. I have the shield in the 9mm with the +1 mag. I cannot stand to not have my entire hand on a handgun.

Is there a state law that says you can't carry in any church? Called CC for a reason... Lol

A good friend of mine is a retired preacher and he carried every single Sunday while preaching.  When those people in SC were murdered at Bible study I texted him and said, "that guy wouldn't have walked out of your bible study", he replied "nope".

Title: Re: Conceal Carry
Post by: Michigunman on December 04, 2015, 03:58:28 PM
My first choice is Glock 19.  Sometimes I'll opt for a single stack (listed in declining size and capacity) - Kahr P9, S&W M&P Shield 9mm and Kahr PM 9.  Have a full size M&P 9 but more of a house gun.  All have either Trijicon or Meprolight night sights.  I have a Milt Sparks VM-II for every gun I carry in addition to some other holsters for specialized use.  And yes I have a "box a holsters" acquired from the standardization process.

As far as how often I go through phases.  I have been working to get back in the habit of carrying as much as I can.  Work is a problem for me but not really up for discussion.

The 43 is too fat? It's a pretty skinny single stack.

Georgia just passed a law during the 2014 session  that allows CC in bars, church's, government buildings(that don't require weapons checks) airport common areas and schools . CC is allowed unless the bar, church, school board  or public building specifically deny guns on the property.

No

When the "no guns" sign is posted you are breaking the law by having a gun on the property. Your choice of course but if found it is a trespassing violation.

That is one law I can understand.
I've been contemplating CC for around 15 years. I'd feel weird with it on me in public. Is that a natural feeling that any of you fellers had to overcome?
I'm a firm believer in "better to have it & not need it than need it & not have it".

The only time I really want to have it is when I travel south of Buford. Dem guys down there is crazy.

Q: Can I carry at a Bar?
A: HB60 decriminalized carrying in bars for Georgia Weapons License holders. However, individual bar owners have the option of asking you to leave their establishment if they do not wish for you to carry there. Should a business owner or his agent ask you to leave while you are carrying a firearm, do so immediately, or as soon as reasonably possible. Failure to leave within a reasonable time, or refusing to leave, is a criminal offense known as “criminal trespass.” In addition, please maintain a polite demeanor so as to project a good image of yourself and other GCO members to the business owner and any witnesses even when being asked to leave.

As far as alcohol goes the only thing I have found documented is that you can't discharge a firearm while under the influence.  Can't find anything that says you can't carry.

With said see ...... see signature.

For a concealed carry, does it have to be on your person or could it be in your bag like a computer bag?  Found out recently my work has a policy of no guns even in your car!

Two part post.

1.  For those that have a Glock 43 is the trigger pretty much like other Glock models?  The pull and the reset on follow up shots?

2.  I feel like we need to clarify some legality concerns.
Churches - you can carry if the Pastor/Minister, whoever is in charge, says it's OK.  It's not a blanket legal place to carry.
Schools.  Schools now have the legal ability to give individuals (teachers/employees) the ability to carry on premise.  Same as Churches not blanket legal place to carry for permit holders.
Government Buildings.  Legal to carry in buildings that do not have security screening in place.

Of course do your own research but that's my take based on read I have read.

If you truly carry for defensive purposes, then nobody should know you're carrying.  If the need ever arises that you need to defend your life, who the fuk cares if you're "allowed" to have a gun there or not.

I've been to 3 concerts at Philips this year and carried every single time.  I'm sure they have a policy against it that I'm not aware of, but IDGAF.  I'm never worried about anything happening inside, it's walking to and from that is the issue.  Several years ago a friend of a friend was leaving Philips with his wife and 2 kids after some kid event there, a black man put a gun in his face and made him turn over the keys, jewelry, and wallets.  Fortunately they lived through it.  Given the IQ of the robber, he was arrested that night living up in a suite at the Swisshotel on the guy's credit cards.

Going into the dome they use a metal detector wand on you, so I don't see how you could carry into the dome.

Philips for concerts.  The NFL makes each stadium have metal detectors, etc.  There is a group trying to get the NFL to allow conceal carry at games.  You used to be able to conceal carry at Braves games but you had to go through a special entrance where they checked your permit.  Not sure if they still allow that.

I don't know what I was smoking as to why I said the 43 was fat. What a goober. I'm looking at either a Glock 17 or a M&P 9 for a full size carry now. Finally applied for a carry permit this morning after dragging my feet for months. Should get it in about 3 weeks or so.

Took my mom to the store tonight to let her pick one out. She liked the Ruger Lc9 with the Crimson trace but I think the 9mm was too much for her being as she hasn't shot in years and isn't comfortable around them. Going to let her shoot a .380 Ruger and see how that feels next. The ruger shoots great but it's too small for my hand.

Before buying a P238, I would highly recommend looking at the P938.  The size difference is negligible and it's 9mm.  Dawsonville Gun & Pawn has a SMOKING deal on them.  $499 and it includes ared dot laser sight.  If my wish list wasn't so long for my Jeep, I'd grab one.

Alien Gear IWB - very comfortable if I'm carrying all day
DeSantis Pocket Holster - great for grab and go.  fits well in cargo shorts or back pocket of jeans
DeSantis Soft Tuck IWB - great grab and go for jeans.  I added a UTILCLIP to it
MIC - haven't used it yet
Fobus GL-43 Paddle - Most comfortable of them all and great to just clip on and go.  Not great concealment but i'll use it the most during the winter.

I haven't shot one but have shot a P238 (my buddy has the Sparta edition).  The P238 has more recoil than my G43, but barely.

What about ankle holsters anybody use one?

I am getting a Galco Ankle Glove. One of my good friends wears one everyday and wore one as a cop for back up. His advise is if you by one put it on wear it a few days with out the gun then put gun in and don't think about it. He said it takes a couple weeks to get really comfortable with them and then they don't bother you. He said it feels weird when summer comes around and you start wearing shorts and don't have it on.

Galco Ankle Glove is neoprene ankle band lined with Sherpa wool with a leather holster.

If your right handed you wear it left ankle inside leg

There has been a lot of research and write ups about 9's and 40's. Most law agency's have or are in the process going back to 9mm. It's a very true flying projectile with good penetration.

I don't mind 9mm platforms but I want pure stopping power and instant at that. If you think of most encounters you are not worried about accuracy of more than 15ft or so. The only downside to a .45 is capacity. My 1911 is 7+1 and my XDS is 5+1. I am rethinking alot lately just due to the recent attacks and the worlds gone insane with shootings. I don't need different ammo to keep track of and like it to be the same for all my platforms but being able to carry 19+1 in a handgun is a very nice option that I can't overlook. Bobby, what was the cost on that piece? Mid 5's I am guessing.

Yep.  I did a couple classes with Larry Vickers and he used to talk about bigger is ok but accuracy is final.  Most people shoot better with a 9 due to the lower recoil and that's what is important.  Think the original quote is from Wyatt Earp - "Speed is fine but accuracy is final". 

I like having the option of the calibers as well, like what you are saying with the scare of a shortage. When i first starting into guns when old enough, i thought i needed one of everything and still have most of it today. 1911 in .45, s&w mp in .40, and a few 9mms, lotsa .22 and .223, 12ga, even 7.62x39 ak stuff, just to have everything covered "in case" ... now its all just adding glass, sights, triggers, spare mags, rigs for each, like nutnfancy says, being "tactically squared away". Now that the business is going well I can get a little more specific, like the special loads, and I love the 10mm stuff as well. Ive got a Glock 20 with a TLR1 that i carry some in the winter and everytime im camping or hiking, bear gun, hog, sasquatch, whatever really, the G20 is 15rnds of nothing is gonna live through that.

Yep I agree.  Got all those and a couple more.  I stay away from non popular loads like 357sig unless it's just cool to have (460 Rowland) which is more just frivolous fun, not a survival move. 

I like nutnfancy but have to Ffwd a lot as he gets soooo long winded.  I like MAC, hickock45 (can get long winded as well and not as tactical buttoned up / survival focused), mrgunsandgear, and some others.  Take them all with a grain of salt though.  I get annoyed by the lets shoot electronics or expensive things with big guns guys.  How much slowmo does it take to see a 50cal explode an iPad?

thats it, lol some of it is retarded. It is cool when they do the vids right and you can see what works and what doesnt, like when they run em in the cold, rain, snow, and they get em dirty just for science. Im def with you tho, you cant take any of it too serious, it is the internet.

I did a bit of shopping around for mine, if you are talking about the Glock 43.  Going rate seems to be mid to high 400's.  Availability is pretty limited.  I bought mine at Academy Sports this week for $479.  Some of the Pawn shops have them listed at $459 but not sure on availability.  Of the shops I visited the one in Johns Creek was the only other place I saw one in stock and it was listed at $499.

Now to get to the range this weekend to get some rounds through it. If all goes well will be carrying it soon.

My Glock 32 and Ruger P-95 are just to much for me to handle anymore and don't conceal well. I also have a Cobra 38 special that I've had since the late 60's that I carry sometimes, but it's still in immaculate condition so I don't really want to scratch it all up with an EDC. I'll also throw my little SR-22 in my pocket for fun sometimes  //salute//

Some give the little 380 and even the infamous 22 (which I loves, been shooting it over 50 years) a lotta crap. I think a person that considers any caliber not viable is foolish, and doesn't take into account any of the other possible contributing factors for a given event. Such as target distance, how far away do you expect to be when you must fire? Then there's cover, am I out in the open or is there some cover available? To me it's all about POI point of impact and one round per. If I'm going up against an opposition with a rifle at a 100 or more feet and I'm with any handgun then my factors at when the best opportunity is to fire vary considerably and cover becomes first importance. I'm not in the most opportunistic set of events.  Which brings me to the next factor as what I like to refer to as the Quick Drop Zones. Point of impact on a body is key. I've never seen any living being run or walk very far with a severed spine or a popped cantaloupe. Now a what distance can I with assurance hit that point at the quickest opportunity?  Long story short, handgun= CQB so if I can't pop a cantaloupe (even with 4 layers of Denim on it  //;D// ) at 50 feet with any caliber then I need to just RUN FORREST RUN  //LMAO//

Again it depends on the variables of each event, Gator hunters can take a one shot kill on some of the toughest skin around. I've seen Bear killed with 22, granted it took a few. One through the peeper and not much moves.   //;D//. It's more a personal preference and confidence with whatever one chooses. Personally I'm confident at close range with any caliber.

Shot placement is King but .22 is insufficient for defense.  Maybe better than a rock I guess.

Hall County......I paid the $72.50
then she said $25 more when I go
to another building for finger prints.

Then it will only be $30 every 5 years. I'm going to go get the paperwork done next week.

I carried a permit for thirty years. Stopped purchasing them in 2008 when the price went up to almost a hundred dollars. They were $20 then $25, so I figured it was like everything else in the world, just about the money now. So they are now $75+25 for five years, then a renewal fee of $30?

Yes, $30 for renewal, every 5 years. I hasn't went up much over the years. 20 years ago when I first looked into it I think it was $50.  And I thought that was every 5 years.
They should offer a lifetime license like they do for hunting.

I'll beat a dead horse :). If you're going to buy any Glock,  Join gssf for 2 yrs for like 40 bucks or whatever it is and get two gssf coupons.  Buy a g43 for like 50-100 off and have another coupon for another Glock at the same.  Shoot Glock competitions, get Glock swag and mailing too, enter/compete to win free guns at the competitions as well.

definitely a good deal

I went to the Wilson Shoals WMA range yesterday.  I fired the new to me GDC G23 buy back.  It felt good to have a .40 back in my hands.  Super nice gun for 299 especially since it already has trijicon night sights. 

I also sighted in my Mini 14 and checked the scope and fired my first rounds in the 1906 I got from @Krawler00, it was dead on.

Very nice range, for what it cost.

nice AJ.   I put 200 thru my new G43.   Loven it so far.   already got a few upgrades for it on the way.   A guy at my range had a 43 with Tungsten Guide Rod, which added a bit more barrel weight to it, i could tell a significant difference and it felt alot smoother.   not sure if i want to mess with any trigger stuff.. but im still learning the sights and the Glock Lingo...   

I have stripped it and got it back together.. so thats good...  I always put my noise up at Glocks, but.. after handling my G43..  I am pretty sure, i am a convert..

I agree. Keep it stock. Specially for a CC gun. It's not a fancy gun to trick out for competition shooting. Learn it and use it in the factory set up. You start changing stuff and you loose the reliable part of Glock and the safety of Glock.

I will for the most part.  but i did notice more control when using the guys G43 that had the Tungsten Guide Rod... i may do that as it did feel a tad more balanced to me....

I have ordered mag extensions (+2) from 6 to 8....   and a custom face plate (texas woot)...  lol

When it comes to mags, for Glock just run Glock extensions & mags.  Nothing else will be as reliable.

i have 5 or so of magpuls glock mags that have been 100% reliable for me.. and they are wayyy cheaper than Glock stuff .. not arguing, just saying, until magpul came out with those, i would have agreed completely

So i have the G43 and so far enjoy it, but I know have my really nice GSSF coupon, which i can get a G19 at a super low price?   Question is..   ....

the G43 is a great carry, and it shoots great.   the G19 holds more rounds, a bit longer and wider, but still a good carry.   I am struggling on if I need 2.   I shot the G19 gen 4
the other day (rental) and enjoyed it.   its heavy compared to the G43, but that helps with recoil and such.  and from what i can tell the G19 is like an AR, u can change just about any/everything about it.  .  . 

not sure if i should get the G19 and look at selling the G43 or ..  keep the 43 and wait.    i have a year to use the coupon.

its hard to find any hate out there for a G19. I went from a bobtailed Kimber Carry Pro to a gen 3 g19 and wont go back, lost a little weight, and doubled the capacity, and 1911s are picky as hell so I also picked up alot of reliability. The only thing you really have to answer for your case is do you feel like you need the extra capacity over the G43? It all goes back to how comfortable you feel carrying a midsize vs. a compact IMO

I have a G19 fully customized and just got a G43 that I'm putting a new trigger and night sites on as we speak. I really liked the G19 but it is a little big and heavy for me to conceal IWB for long periods of time. I haven't shot the G43 yet l, but carrying it with my IWB kydex holster it is much more comfortable then the G19

a friend of mine teaches gun safety and is up to date on all the CC rules and laws. you can CC just about anywhere. I would avoid trying to CC in any building that has a metal detector(stadiums, government buildings, etc). according to him, you can still CC into a building that has a no guns allowed sign posted. if they see that you are carrying (i.e. you get caught), then they have the legal right to ask you to leave and put gun in car. no harm, put gun in car and come back in. if you refuse, then they have the right to remove you from premises.  in my opinion, if you are CC well, no one will will ever know anyway. just avoid the buildings with metal detectors.

In most cases, if you don't tell them they will never know. If I ever needed to defend myself or coworkers, I'd rather be fired & alive than employed & dead.

The concern for me, if I were inclined to carry, would be getting fired and looking for a sweet gig like I have now.  I honestly don't know my company's policy on the matter...time to dig.

//off topic - start//
It's the same logic for why I don't do heroin marijuana...if I get caught, I lose my job, so it isn't worth it despite my great desire to be a drug addict (I'm looking forward to retirement).  I've worked at the same company for about 13 years and I've been tested for drugs 0 (zero) times...but I still don't gamble it.

Related topic to the drug thing...I was talking to some people who work for a large liberal media company with an operations center in Colorado about the marijuana laws and employer enforcement of anti-drug policies.  They said, if you don't drive a company vehicle it's a don't ask, don't tell environment.  Active testing does not occur for office workers (appears to be similar to where I work) .

We lease our property amd I can't even carry in my car. Not sure that is legal.

Need clarification here.  BigMike never said he carried inside his work place.  He just so, note to self, remember to lock it back in the Jeep before going into the building.  BigMike would never carry at work.  Why is BigMike talking in the 3rd person?

GA Law states that a business owner cannot tell an employee that they cannot keep a locked firearm in their car.

I can confirm this, my companys policy is not in the office or company property, in our handbook the parking deck is considered company property because they pay for us to park in the parking deck, yet when i went to HR they said, state law prohibits them from forbidding us to keep it in our car, so its just in the building...   

I always wonder how many more incidents it will take like the one in CA until companys stop this, .. either hire armed guards (which still would not make me feel safe) to protect .. or if any lawsuits will happen because a company policy prohibits an person from CC and being safe.    wonder if at that xmas party if only one person CC   pretty sure its hard to reload if someone is shooting back..  its NOT like the movies..

I thought so. Your car is considered a extention of your home. My employer has nothing in the handbook about weapons in you vehicle. But they have two "no gun" signs posted at the entrance & 2 walk thru metal detectors.
I agree with you Clarke, I may not agree with some rules or procedures but I like my paycheck. I don't abstain from drugs because of random testing. I'd rather invest that money in my Jeep or more ammo.

I've been using this pocket holster for a couple weeks. I like it a lot. Very easy to grab without having to undo my belt, etc.

I think it conceals really well in jeans. I haven't tried it in work slacks but mine are looser fitting than my jeans so I think it will be great. And works when you have to tuck a shirt in.

AlienGear IWB 3.0
So far I like it. Just got it today and have  worn it since 5pm getting use to it. Jumped in the car and drove around, worked well w it at the 4 or 4:30 position.

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160129/6d2e9f0efd550dcde8b0f4e606468c09.jpg)

The width makes it comfortable. I like the one Bobby just got for its slim and small frame but comfort is equally important.

This about 4 o'clock

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160129/fa52c533689e6e3d717ce8c22d61bfaf.jpg)

The AlienGear is adjustable which is cool. I may try the lower setting

Too many people are worried about innocent kids in school and not the innocent babies murdered every minute through abortion.  While Sandy Hook was tragic, 20 times more babies were murdered at the same moment those children were gunned down.  And if there wasn't a gun available to that wacko in Sandy Hook, he could have just park a rental truck outside ala Tim McV and nobody would have survived.

Caring about abortions and innocent kids dying in school due to mass gun shot activity (or dying anywhere due to mass shootings) aren't mutually exclusive; You can care about both, which is exactly what I would expect the converted folks to do. 

Regarding the parking of a truck instead of using a gun...the gun (and ammo) was readily available to him; the truck, fertilizer, and diesel were *likely* not...plus the sheer expense of those would have been higher.  Yes, he could have grabbed a kitchen knife instead of an AR, but in comparison, the overall effectiveness of a knife wielding crazy is less than an AR wielding crazy.

You know...Chris Rock once stated that you don't have to outlaw guns, just make the bullets extremely expensive.  I am surprised this has not caught on as a tactic by the anti-gun folks.  They could just tax the hell out of the bullets concealed in the guns people carry, thus not violating the 2nd amendment...of course, they would have to get congress to pass such a law, or consider it a health & safety concern and do it through executive order.

Wasn't looking to buy a gun today but I went in wanting to hold a M&Pc or a Glock 19 since I wanted something smaller than my full size M&P and bigger cap than my shield but picked up the H&K and it was done.

About 1/2" shorter overall than the full size rig, otherwise very similar. 15+1 instead of 17+1, the pre molded grips fit great and comes with 2 more sets of side panels and palm grips. Probably keep the shield around for events when there might be a lot of people since its smaller for a more concealable carry, leave the full size at home. Split carry between the H&K and shield depending on what I'm doing. Got another sticky holster with it, it's pretty tight since its new but once it wears in I'm sure it'll be just as comfortable as the one for my Shield. I carry at like 4-5 o clock since I'm fat. And the bigger gun doesn't really feel any different.

Mag release takes time to get used to. Didn't like it at first but it's growing on me, just different than my other two. Now I did like the safety on my shield, was part of my draw and made me feel safer. This one is a double or single action which is pretty cool too. Night sites are also pretty sweet. Excited to shoot it some more this week or next.

Also been thinking about stimpling my shield but haven't gotten a clear answer on what it does to the warranty. Supposedly as long as it doesn't effect the function of the gun it's fine but... Talon grips are only $20 for the sandpaper like ones or the rubber ones. Might give those a try first.

I'm looking for something to conceal carry and do work in.

What I have now is a:
Cz p01 - 9mm
Hk USP - 45acp
Kimber 1911 - 45acp

The cz is kinda compact but I'm looking for something along the lines of that. I don't wanna that super compact where half your fingers are around it or a super short barrel that decreases accuracy becuase of muzzle flip.

What do yall like?

What caliber do you prefer?
What capacity?
Are you sitting or standing most of the day? 

The main thing if you're carrying every day, all day, it needs to be comfortable. 

Get a good holster for the CZ and try that out.

You can always go to a Commander (4") 1911 as well, but I'd get something other than a Kimber.  If you want capacity, there is always Glock.  The G19 is an excellent weapon.

Stand. Don't really need to a tuck shirt in.

I as far as caliber, if comes down to that point I want them stopped then and there. Not 5 rounds later. Of course that comes down to shot placement but I don't wanna use a 22 though either.

I had my G19 stippled when the finger grooves were removed.  The texture is a bit different from others I have seen.  It's worked well for me.  Wouldn't have done it if not already modifying the grip.

you guys are smokin some shit. sorry, opinions are like ass holes, but stippling in no way whatsoever hurts a handgun's function, if anything it does exactly what it supposed to do and that is it helps with manipulation of the weapon when things are not perfect, e.g. , when hands are slick, sweaty, muddy, greasy, bla bla. Im not saying just go out and take a hot iron to a $1k HK, but dont knock it till ya try it. There is not one single person that has handled one of my polymer framed guns that has been stippled that didnt absolutely love it. Especially if you actually carry all day, every day, not when just riding around the mall parking lot in your minivan.. //SMOKEII//

I have an Alien Gear for the 43 that you can borrow and try out. Want me to send it to you?  I use the GearCraft now and the AG sits on a shelf. It's very comfortable but it has two belt clips, which make it very sturdy, but I found I prefer the single belt clip

@patman One of the things I really like about the N8Tactical is the pad that sits against your body.  In the summer, it's great because none of the gun is touching your body, so if you're sweating, the soft backing is against your skin and you're not sweating on your gun.  It has a neoprene core and the clip is adjustable so you can position the holster however you want.  Whether you go with that or not, pay close attention to what will be against your body.  Just my $.02.

Thanks for the detailed review! I like the look of it, and since there weren't really any options on the website I didn't have any follow up questions for you haha

My initial thought is that the one you recommended looks comfortable for all day carry, but I'm not sure I'd ever do that. I was thinking more of grabbing it for craigslist deals or walking through shady areas, but my plans are always subject to change. I haven't decided on anything, and will do some more research before I buy anything

On both of your holsters, how high on the gun does the holster cover on the inside? Meaning, is there enough material to keep the slide off your skin?

Hope so. Not a fan of their customer service though...

Ordered on Monday the 27th, and then found out the lead time was 24 days. Messaged them to verify, and was told it would be sent out by the end of the week (by the 31st). The following Wednesday (5th), still no update so I messaged again and the owner told me:
"I was on spring break this week with the family and not at the shop.
I contacted my lead man at the shop and he assured me it will ship today. Sorry for the delay."
Ok... Sunday night (9th) I got a USPS notification that the shipping label was created. Tracking shows it was picked up Monday afternoon(10th) for shipment, and I got it last night (12th).

Also picked up a new CC, just waiting for a kydex iwb holster to come in and give it a try. FNS-9C

Here is a pic with the Strike Industries extension. Feels like the stock grip.

I had Robar customize my 43 with Ninja Blue Cerakote, complete frame rebuild with stippling, high grip mod, raised/undercut triggergaurd, slide bullnose rounded, front press check serrations, Trijicon night sights, interior blue print with 3.5 lb disconnector and trigger work. I buy all my holsters from Pyntek.com which is by far the best Kydex holsters around.

Why conceal carry when you have the police working on your taxpayer dollars? Guns are evil.
On the argument of "guns don't kill people", I heard a comic say, "Then you have a shitty gun".








I'm just trying to emulate my hero, Clarke. He likes to troll the political thread.

I am a kydex guy. I have tried leather in stores...I have always wanted one.  But they seem so tight(gun in holster), like they need time to be broken in. Makes sense but I have never given one a chance. 

The kydex one I use now is very comfortable but it seems like leather would be the most comfortable, IWB.

Make one for the Glock 43?

I own and will still buy their products.  Just because one moron asked a question and keyboard commandos went ape-shit doesn't make them a bad company.

I've never been in that situation.  But if 10 officers shot 4 times each, it could have happened in the blink of an eye.  It wasn't like one officer unloaded 45 rounds into the guy.  One less worthless POS walking around whether it was one well placed shot or a 100.

At least the cops didn't say this:  http://www.snopes.com/crime/cops/judd.asp

I recently made one for a buddy, here is the premolded pic. I don't have a post molded pic, but will see if I can get him to send me one.

I’ve bought several from https://pyntek.com/
Smoothed edges and true fit. IWB holsters are strong and the belt clip is unbelievable.
