Seriously, I almost NEVER hit subscribe with just one video, and certainly not before watching the whole video. This one was so on point so fast and stayed on point so well, I subscribed at the three minute mark. VERY WELL DONE!
100% agreed. I know quite a few people getting into guns and finally getting comfortable with the idea of carrying. I'll be sharing this video with them. You explain and break down the subject better then I could. Thank you for making this video.
This video is so well put together, and it's going to be a key resources for anyone looking to conceal carry and/or gain more knowledge on the topic. Thanks for putting this together!
Speaking of... Did you see that Larry Correia shouted out your channel and PHLster channel on his blog? He spoke highly of both of you at sources for good information.
Thanks so much to everyone watching, and everyone who participated in the chat! We'll be around for questions, so please feel free to ask if there's anything you want to get into.
@@jgreat8582 Good question. I don't own one, but I've seen a couple of failure points demonstrated that would give me pause. I think most folks looking for that kind of capability will be better served by a good pocket holster, or a traditional IWB holster, if they're able to tolerate it.
Hey just watched the video very informative and helpful since i´m looking foward to carry in the future. By the way the background music is awesome what´s the name of it?
@RealityCheck I'd see if you can use these tips to get appendix carry working for you. www.phlsterholsters.com/appendix-carry-for-big-guys-male-abdominal-fat-distribution/ If not, pocket carry can be a reasonable alternative. Here's a video about pocket carry considerations: th-cam.com/video/C-IFg767_j8/w-d-xo.html
How come I have never seen this TH-cam channel before? This, by far, is one of the most well produced and informative presentations on conceal carry I have ever watched. This woman is a natural! If this video is indicative of the quality and content of past and future productions look out! Subscribers and views will soon be going through the roof.
Ray Paget first, her video is very new. Secondly. what videos you are given. Mostly depends on, what types of videos. You watch the most, as well as. Each additional subject-matter. That you watch, around the main one.
This is like.. university level lecture quality! Love the content! Thank you so much! A lot of the states that are on the verge of allowing conceal carry will be looking for videos like this and am super glad this is available to us! Keep up the good work!
Absolutely the best & informative concealed carry video I’ve ever saw. Straight forward, well directed, well lit, well written. I’ve been carrying concealed for 8 years and I learned from this video. Thanks
I have been a concealed handgun carrier for about 10 years and I learned more from this young lady about carrying better and more comfortably than all the guys I have watched on TH-cam combined. This is a well put together video. Great job!
Wow. The only thing I don't like about this video is that I can only give it one thumbs up. Great video, great information for people getting started with their CCW. Keep up the great work.
10/10 video. Editing is clean, talk track is simple and informative, and the resources are helpful. This is a video for save and revisit for sure. Thank you!
Really appreciate that you touched on the long term effects that carrying a gun every day can have on your mobility and overall health. That’s an issue that is overlooked far too often.
Excellent Video.....I'm a LEO with 20 plus yrs of service and this is one of the few videos that I've seen that explains to the lowest denominator and is so simple to follow that any new person carrying a gun can follow!!! again, EXCELLENT!!
I saw the preview video. Flat out best explanation I’ve seen on holster selection and placement. I’m going to show it at all my CCL classes. Excellent work. Sarah you’re a natural for these videos.
OMG. Where has this video been? This single video has helped me understand the mechanics of conceal carry more than anything else I have seen on the internet.
This is some of the highest production value I've seen in a TH-cam video, period. So well thought out and laid out. My only gripe is that I didn't find you years ago when I started carrying. Fantastic channel.
I get where he's coming from. There's a certain amount of discomfort that folks just have to tolerate. But having the knowledge to spot a problem, and the skill to maximize comfort, goes a long way.
This is pretty good. All of the holster ads always shows someone drawing (helpful) and firing (nothing to do with carrying) but do not cover anything mentioned here. Well done.
I've been carrying concealed for 15 years and after watching this video I realize how much I don't know about the subject. Your straight forward explanations and advice makes me want to seek out the other topics on this channel. Well done!
I'm a bigger guy and have watched MANY how to carry videos. With that said, yours is the only one that actually makes an real sense to me. THANK YOU for taking the time to do this so well.
This lady is highly intelligent and her presentation skills are very professional. The subject is well researched and the presentation is highly organized. I can't emphasize enough how refreshing it is to have someone this intelligent present on this topic.
The most informative video I’ve ever seen completely by accident. Definitely recommending this to my friends who are new to concealed carry. Thank you for breaking it down to a complete science!!!!
A. Thank you! I've been carrying for years but there were a couple of little tweaks you mentioned here that did indeed help me carry more comfortably without sacrificing draw. I appreciate that! B. Great production value; I applaud the effort. Most folks don't realize how much it takes to make something like this and so when it does pop up, I absolutely give credit where due. C. The presenter's voice is good, clear, and precise, and let's face it, she's very easy on the eyes and that's always a party bonus. My guess is that you'll get a lot of proposals from solid 2A Americans from this.
I have seen this thumbnail before but never have seen this video until now. All I can say is this video is amazing. It was refreshing, as it did not focus on the equipment nor did it include a stereotypical tone. It is a positive and helpful piece of information for a conceal carry permit holder.
Thank you so much! We work hard to deliver useful educational content that's not just a sales pitch. We genuinely want people to be successful carrying.
I wish I could give this video three thumbs up. SOOOOOO informative. And I've been carrying for three years. There were tips on here I wish I knew when I started. Also, way to go PHLster for making an informative video, but leaving out any product up-sells. It wasn't a video about "why our holsters are the best," but how to find the right holster. I'm a guy and I wear a white tank top (wife beater) as an undershirt when I carry. The problem is, Florida is hot and humid, so that makes me hotter. Using that bandeau bra around the waist area is a great idea because it only covers that small area. Time to secretly raid my wife's drawer...
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that. :) Our goal is to help educate people and make their concealed carry journey easier. A lot of the advice we give is product agnostic, and can be used with anything.
As is mentioned below, this is one of the best weapons instructional video I have ever seen. Professional, educational, and thought provoking. I would also point out that for those Americans who don't truly understand who the true American Gun Owner is, the products from this organization may be one of the best ways for them to understand the seriousness with which we view the exercise of our civic rights, and the acknowledged and accepted responsibilities that go with them.
She does a great job on these videos, she speaks clearly and demonstrates well. Hats off for not pushing their product and presenting the fundamentals. For that I will buy your product.
I have been carrying since 1994 and it took me decades of guns and holsters to find my comfortable gun, holster and placement. Turns out the first gun I bought (5 shot snub) was my best fit now in the original PHLster city special, albeit modified a bit to fit me and conceal best on my frame ( DCC beltless clip and small foam wedge). This is an excellent video and I wish I could have saved time and money knowing some of this when I started.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I also had a lot of expensive trial and error over the years. I hope this helps folks to be successful on their concealed carry journey earlier than I was. It's amazing how much information is out there these days. - Sarah
@@PHLster Don't we ALL have that drawer-full-of-holsters that didn't quite work out? I'm SO pleased my 'drawerful' is actually pretty small... I found my holy Grail of holsters at about 5 trials.(Nate Squared Tactical IWB); but I also use the Flashbang, and the Hawg... different holsters for different outfits!! (Because, oh @Blake Childers -- I am NOT going to dress like a fake Spec Ops hard@ss just to suit my protection needs with the monster gun you require everyone carry... just can't manage it in my daily life!) Sarah, I'm off momentarily to look at y'all's holsters too!
Yours is one or frankly the best, most articulate and intelligent video on this subject I have come across in a sea of videos. Honestly, really well done! I’ll be sure to check out your other material. Please keep making more content. 👍🏽

Wow! Great video! And your dog thought it was the best thing ever. Keep this stuff coming. It's refreshing to see this being discussed openly by, and for, non-traditional gun owners.
I'm not even through with this video and am blown away by the skill and demeanor of the presenter and just how well-produced this video is. And then I got hit with "tactical muffin top". LMAO. That just sealed the deal. Instant sub. Only the second sub I've ever done outside of one for a friend. Now back to the vid.
Thank you! I've been in your shoes. It's hard to know what's normal when you're just starting out, and sometimes we end up just suffering through things we could actually fix if we just had the skills. Thanks for watching!
I've tried a lot of carries and holsters. I think I was stuck in the Army frame of mind of "carry it all at once and carry 10x more than you need". I just always covered up a full size and hoped for the best. We live in the country so it's actually stranger that we aren't open carrying rather than an obvious firearm covered with a Hawaiian shirt. That's a joke. Even in the country I would never...it'd be plaid. But until I started buying a different style of gun and changed the tactics in my head. I'm sure that's lack of training and just doing what works. I stopped carrying a doublestack and after Hornady introduced the "Critical" line of ammo I switched from 45ACP to 9mm. Then I went from giant pants artillery to a dainty SIG p938 bobbed and dehorned for concealed carry. I love it. It changed everything. It's hard to not carry. I'm half cripple these days so I'm not running anywhere. Pretty sure I can't duck and cover anymore but I'm always within 50' of my truck. If the little 938 can't do it I may need to fall back, take a nap, and come out swinging from there with something with a little more authority. That's not how these incidents work but...there's still a plan for that.
This video was fantastic! I solved most of my Cary problems by carrying mainly OWB on my strong side. I did get some tips from you that I didn’t think of. I wi recommend this video to everyone, thank you!
Thank you so much! And I hear you - concealment is its own separate sub-specialty, and it doesn't usually get a lot of time in shooting classes. Hope you find this, and our other resources, helpful! Thanks for watching!
@@PHLster The class was half safety and local laws and half shooting skills. It was good, but 30-60 minutes on concealment sizing and techniques would have been nice. I’m really glad I discovered your channel. It was recommended by Lucky Gunner, who I’ve followed for a few years.
Great seeing someone who can explain without saying “or anything like that!” Soothing, confident voice. Definitely following. I carry in the appendix position and it took me quite a while to find the holster that works for me. It also helps to be physically sound. After all, half of self defense is taking care of yourself. Great video!
I'm 80 yrs old and been carrying for almost 30 yrs. This is one of the best video's I've seen to date. I carry appendix a full size 9MM S&W M&P 2.0 or a Glock 17
Without a doubt, the best video I've seen on this topic. It is complete and well presented, and I definitely got a few ideas for improving my carry. Thank you!
I am new to concealed carry, and waffling over whether to get the Enigma, and I genuinely moved a lot closer to purchasing it just because of this video! It’s so professional, clear, well made, and straightforward! I can only imagine a great experience with a holster from a company that cares enough to make _everything_ they produce high-quality, and about being very clear with instructions. Even if setting up the Enigma for my body is as complicated as I’ve heard from some TH-cam and Reddit reviewers, I feel confident that I can figure it out with construction as good as this! Nicely done!
This video is fantastic! After the first 7 minutes I was able to adjust my go-to holster location in a much more effective and comfortable way with the 'comfort boundaries' leg motions and sitting position! Very practical and very VERY helpful. Thank you for the video.
@5:46 - GREAT instructions on finding your boundaries. I avoided AIWB. Then took a class on AIWB. Then tried AIWB with the wrong holster. Then gave up on AIWB. Then found this video. Thanks.
This is one of the best most comprehensive instructional videos I've seen on concealed carry. I've been carrying for over 10 years and been through a plethora of poorly executed holsters of various types. Finally resolved myself to small pocket pistols. Only recently started experimenting with my own holster designs, both in kydex and hybrids, and can now comfortably carry a compact 9 with no printing and relatively comfortably.( I build custom knives so I have some experience building sheaths in different materials.) Just because it is a commercially made holster doesn't mean you can grab one and you're good to go. What works for one, may not be suitable for someone else.
This helped a ton, I still have trouble not readjusting my holster every few minutes but I've been able to carry on long trips sitting, standing and even hiking without pain. Thanks.
This was a very informative discussion and overview of carrying considerations. I'm sharing with my gun club and all EDC folks I know. I truly appreciate the information and effort that went into this discussion. I hope to see more media like this from your company in the future. OUTSTANDING!
Thank you so much for watching and sharing! I hope it helps folks, and please let them know we're answering questions in the comments if they need help with anything. :)
Wow, such an excellent tutorial. It seems like you covered just about everything when it comes to finding a way to carry comfortably. Very nice job and thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge. Cheers.
This video is fantastic... I've been carrying for over 10yrs and have never seen such a complete breakdown of the issues encountered, more importantly, some actual solutions... great work.
Came here from luckygunner. Liked your video a lot - stuff put in organised words that I have vaguely felt but could not put a label on. Thanks a lot, subscribed.
This is great content and addresses conceal carry on a whole. However. This is particularly helpful to the new folks who really have a lot of uncertainty when carrying. There are several channels who address dressing while concealed. Glad to find your channel to go into more detail about placement and addressing holster issues. I have a Philster enigma an OWB and IWB holster. I like the Philster but find belt to chafe my skin so I went and bought a fabric swatch to slide over. Problem solved. I will try the moleskin. That's a great idea. Thank you.
What a great informative video from a young person. My daughter is an industrial designer and this presentation reminds me of how she looks at products and their use by humans. Well done young lady. I learned valuable information here today. Thanks
Best video of the entire year. And her voice is easy to listen to. Very calming. This helped me find my sweet spot. Gained a little weight during the pandemic sooooo 🙄my holster started getting uncomfortable. Great video. I’m definitely subscribing and hitting that bell. Stay blessed, and safe everyone. Love you all😊
I just ran into your channel. I have to pause the NBA game to watch this video. This is by far the most professional presentation I have seen on TH-cam, I really mean that young lady. I was drawn from the moment you started talking. You present yourself like a true speaker, the way you speak, carry yourself, the tone of your voice, I mean everything. The information and examples you presented were golden. You pointed out a lot of good points that I never thought about it. You definitely won me as a subscriber. I am very picky about to what channel I subscribe to. Congratulations on your channel, this is so high level presentation, the quality of the video out of the park and the presenter could have not been more professional. Thank you so much, you guys rock😊.
After buying dozens and dozens of CCW holsters for over 40 years and most ended up in a box in the garage, I started making them. to pack heat, you may have to re-think your wardrobe. some holster makers come up with ideas that might seem "comfortable" but overall don't work to get the job done. Well done video.
Just 4 minutes in and THE best video on this subject that I have seen. I am a new concealed carry instructor and will put a slide in my presentation with a link to this video. Thank you.
Outstanding! Thank you so much! BTW, we also have an ebook on concealment that you are welcome to share with your students. www.phlsterholsters.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Concealment-Tuneup-Handout-PDF.pdf
OUTSTANDING VIDEO! Extremely well done, very informative, and zero reliance on posturing to help prove your point. I wish more people made videos like this. Thank you!
The show of the amount of holsters was an instant watch. It's exactly what I'm trying to avoid after just returning my 1st one that left marks by end of the day!
Great video, I've been carrying for years and It took me a few months to find my sweet spot. I finally figured out that if I wear baggy pants and a shirt 1 size big. I can carry at 3 o'clock with no issues comfortably.
This is probably the best “start here” video on how to conceal a firearm comfortably and effectively on the internet.
Thank you very kindly! I hope it helps people.

Wow! Great video! And your dog thought it was the best thing ever. Keep this stuff coming. It's refreshing to see this being discussed openly by, and for, non-traditional gun owners.
He had so much fun! Hahah. Don't mind doing a few extra takes when I get to bring my pupper to work. Thank you very much for your feedback!

I'm not even through with this video and am blown away by the skill and demeanor of the presenter and just how well-produced this video is. And then I got hit with "tactical muffin top". LMAO. That just sealed the deal. Instant sub. Only the second sub I've ever done outside of one for a friend. Now back to the vid.
Fantastic! Haha. Thanks so much for watching!
Just started concealed carry and this video has been by far the most helpful. Particularly the pain vs discomfort part.
Thank you! I've been in your shoes. It's hard to know what's normal when you're just starting out, and sometimes we end up just suffering through things we could actually fix if we just had the skills. Thanks for watching!
I'm 60 years old In KY, just found this very helpful and inspiring !!
I've tried a lot of carries and holsters. I think I was stuck in the Army frame of mind of "carry it all at once and carry 10x more than you need". I just always covered up a full size and hoped for the best. We live in the country so it's actually stranger that we aren't open carrying rather than an obvious firearm covered with a Hawaiian shirt. That's a joke. Even in the country I would never...it'd be plaid. But until I started buying a different style of gun and changed the tactics in my head. I'm sure that's lack of training and just doing what works. I stopped carrying a doublestack and after Hornady introduced the "Critical" line of ammo I switched from 45ACP to 9mm. Then I went from giant pants artillery to a dainty SIG p938 bobbed and dehorned for concealed carry. I love it. It changed everything. It's hard to not carry. I'm half cripple these days so I'm not running anywhere. Pretty sure I can't duck and cover anymore but I'm always within 50' of my truck. If the little 938 can't do it I may need to fall back, take a nap, and come out swinging from there with something with a little more authority. That's not how these incidents work but...there's still a plan for that.
I got you covered brother
Production quality is putting a lot of other gun tubers to shame, and more importantly, excellent insight
Thank you so much!
This video was fantastic! I solved most of my Cary problems by carrying mainly OWB on my strong side. I did get some tips from you that I didn’t think of. I wi recommend this video to everyone, thank you!
Glad we were able to help, and thank you kindly for the recommendation!
This is absolutely the best concealed carry video I’ve seen. This was not at all covered in the two day class I took with my daughter.
Thank you so much! And I hear you - concealment is its own separate sub-specialty, and it doesn't usually get a lot of time in shooting classes. Hope you find this, and our other resources, helpful! Thanks for watching!
@@PHLster The class was half safety and local laws and half shooting skills. It was good, but 30-60 minutes on concealment sizing and techniques would have been nice. I’m really glad I discovered your channel. It was recommended by Lucky Gunner, who I’ve followed for a few years.
@@insatiable_mind I get where you're coming from. :) And Lucky Gunner is one of my favorite channels! Thanks for coming over.
Great seeing someone who can explain without saying “or anything like that!”
Soothing, confident voice. Definitely following. I carry in the appendix position and it took me quite a while to find the holster that works for me. It also helps to be physically sound. After all, half of self defense is taking care of yourself. Great video!

I'm 80 yrs old and been carrying for almost 30 yrs. This is one of the best video's I've seen to date. I carry appendix a full size 9MM S&W M&P 2.0 or a Glock 17
Hands down THE best concealed carry video I've ever seen. Very common sense, thorough, and educational! Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Without a doubt, the best video I've seen on this topic. It is complete and well presented, and I definitely got a few ideas for improving my carry. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
Phillip! The Helper 🐾 13:07 Two paws up for calmly delivered tactical knowledge, comfort, and concealment principles. Thank you, Sarah.
Thank you so much! And Phillip is the MVP around the studio. :)
I am new to concealed carry, and waffling over whether to get the Enigma, and I genuinely moved a lot closer to purchasing it just because of this video! It’s so professional, clear, well made, and straightforward!
I can only imagine a great experience with a holster from a company that cares enough to make _everything_ they produce high-quality, and about being very clear with instructions.
Even if setting up the Enigma for my body is as complicated as I’ve heard from some TH-cam and Reddit reviewers, I feel confident that I can figure it out with construction as good as this!
Nicely done!
This video is fantastic! After the first 7 minutes I was able to adjust my go-to holster location in a much more effective and comfortable way with the 'comfort boundaries' leg motions and sitting position! Very practical and very VERY helpful. Thank you for the video.
Outstanding! Thank you so much, and so glad it was helpful!
@5:46 - GREAT instructions on finding your boundaries. I avoided AIWB. Then took a class on AIWB. Then tried AIWB with the wrong holster. Then gave up on AIWB. Then found this video. Thanks.
This is one of the best most comprehensive instructional videos I've seen on concealed carry. I've been carrying for over 10 years and been through a plethora of poorly executed holsters of various types. Finally resolved myself to small pocket pistols. Only recently started experimenting with my own holster designs, both in kydex and hybrids, and can now comfortably carry a compact 9 with no printing and relatively comfortably.( I build custom knives so I have some experience building sheaths in different materials.) Just because it is a commercially made holster doesn't mean you can grab one and you're good to go. What works for one, may not be suitable for someone else.
Thank you so much! And agreed. It's a process to customize any holster for your body, especially if it's something mass produced.
This is probably the best concealed carry explanation video I've personally seen! Thank you for the work you've put into this!
This helped a ton, I still have trouble not readjusting my holster every few minutes but I've been able to carry on long trips sitting, standing and even hiking without pain. Thanks.
This was a very informative discussion and overview of carrying considerations. I'm sharing with my gun club and all EDC folks I know. I truly appreciate the information and effort that went into this discussion. I hope to see more media like this from your company in the future. OUTSTANDING!
Thank you so much for watching and sharing! I hope it helps folks, and please let them know we're answering questions in the comments if they need help with anything. :)
This is one of the most succinct tutorials I have seen yet. And the dimples are cute too.
Wow, such an excellent tutorial. It seems like you covered just about everything when it comes to finding a way to carry comfortably. Very nice job and thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge. Cheers.
Really appreciate the feedback! Thank you!
This video is fantastic... I've been carrying for over 10yrs and have never seen such a complete breakdown of the issues encountered, more importantly, some actual solutions... great work.
Is it just me or is she incredibly beautiful?
Its not you
No, she’s gorgeous
I appreciate both your insight into comfortable, functional, concealed carry AND your fashion sense.
Came here from luckygunner. Liked your video a lot - stuff put in organised words that I have vaguely felt but could not put a label on. Thanks a lot, subscribed.
Thank you kindly! And welcome! We're building a good library of concealment focused content here. 👍🏽Thanks for subscribing.
This is my first time finding this channel. Everything is presented so well, neatly and professionally. I love this.
This is great content and addresses conceal carry on a whole. However. This is particularly helpful to the new folks who really have a lot of uncertainty when carrying. There are several channels who address dressing while concealed. Glad to find your channel to go into more detail about placement and addressing holster issues. I have a Philster enigma an OWB and IWB holster. I like the Philster but find belt to chafe my skin so I went and bought a fabric swatch to slide over. Problem solved. I will try the moleskin. That's a great idea. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Wow, not gonna lie I wish I had know about this channel months ago. You've helped me completely change my EDC. From my husband and I both, thank you.
That's awesome! So glad to have helped!
What a great informative video from a young person. My daughter is an industrial designer and this presentation reminds me of how she looks at products and their use by humans. Well done young lady. I learned valuable information here today. Thanks
Best video of the entire year. And her voice is easy to listen to. Very calming. This helped me find my sweet spot. Gained a little weight during the pandemic sooooo 🙄my holster started getting uncomfortable. Great video. I’m definitely subscribing and hitting that bell. Stay blessed, and safe everyone. Love you all😊
Watched the first 20 seconds, added to my favorites AND my watch later AND liked AND subscribed.
I just ran into your channel. I have to pause the NBA game to watch this video. This is by far the most professional presentation I have seen on TH-cam, I really mean that young lady. I was drawn from the moment you started talking. You present yourself like a true speaker, the way you speak, carry yourself, the tone of your voice, I mean everything. The information and examples you presented were golden. You pointed out a lot of good points that I never thought about it. You definitely won me as a subscriber. I am very picky about to what channel I subscribe to. Congratulations on your channel, this is so high level presentation, the quality of the video out of the park and the presenter could have not been more professional. Thank you so much, you guys rock😊.
So much information in this video that is not printed anyplace else. Thank you so much for all of this education!
This is a fantastic video. A scientific approach to concealed carry. Very well done, and super good info.
Thank you very much!
This was outstanding in every way. Thank you so much. The work you put in is so very appreciated.
Well done...
Thank you very kindly!
As someone else said "university level lecture quality" most informative content I've seen in a long time.
After buying dozens and dozens of CCW holsters for over 40 years and most ended up in a box in the garage, I started making them. to pack heat, you may have to re-think your wardrobe. some holster makers come up with ideas that might seem "comfortable" but overall don't work to get the job done. Well done video.
I concur with Mr. Brian Horton. Absolutely the best “start here” video on how to conceal a firearm. Excellent information!!!
Thank you kindly!
Just 4 minutes in and THE best video on this subject that I have seen. I am a new concealed carry instructor and will put a slide in my presentation with a link to this video. Thank you.
Outstanding! Thank you so much! BTW, we also have an ebook on concealment that you are welcome to share with your students. www.phlsterholsters.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Concealment-Tuneup-Handout-PDF.pdf
Love seeing ladies talking and educating about conceal carry or guns in general.
I love all her videos and how calmly she explains everything.
Appreciate that!
Best video I’ve ever seen on learning to carry, so many people give up when they can’t figure it out.
@PHLster These are without a doubt the best series of videos for holster discovery and learning to conceal carry. Thank you and GREAT JOB!
Thank you very kindly!
How have I missed this video, she's like an Occupational Therapist for concealed carry. Thoroughly thought out.
OUTSTANDING VIDEO! Extremely well done, very informative, and zero reliance on posturing to help prove your point. I wish more people made videos like this. Thank you!
Love the calm, cool and measured delivery on this, very well done.
I just stumbled across this and am blown way by how clear and informative this is. Great work!
I am blown away by this video. No pun intended. Absolutely excellent presentation, writing, production. Who are you people?! This is next level!
Most practical holster training I’ve ever had. I’m excited to implement some of these modifications to my setup
Wow. One of the most informative, best produced, best narrated videos I've ever seen on this topic. Bravo!
Thank you very kindly!
This is the best video I have seen explaining how to carry.
Thank you!
The show of the amount of holsters was an instant watch. It's exactly what I'm trying to avoid after just returning my 1st one that left marks by end of the day!
This has to be the most intelligent and informative video on conceal carry I’ve ever seen
Thank you kindly!
Great video, I've been carrying for years and It took me a few months to find my sweet spot. I finally figured out that if I wear baggy pants and a shirt 1 size big. I can carry at 3 o'clock with no issues comfortably.
This is by far the best video I have seen about starting your concealed carry journey. Thank you.
