    In this Geauga Firearms Academy video we take an in depth look at the most common conceal carry positions. We look at these concealed carry positions, we look at how to conceal carry and proper holster locations. Having the correct holster in conjunction with your concealed carry position it extremely important. A concealed carry holster for appendix carry is much different than a concealed carry holster for the 4 o'clock position. Not only the type of holster but also the construction and the construction material. A full kydex holster have advantages and disadvantages over other materials. Full kydex and hybrid holsters vary greatly, in the users comfort.

    Thank you for this! I had no idea how clueless I was about carrying until I actually started carrying. Couldn't find a comfortable holster, was too self aware of it jutting out - the whole nine. I'm under 6 ft. and slim and of course my first firearm was a glock 19. Basically too big for a slim guy to carry inconspicuously. That led me to this vid and led me to going to the shop and talking to the experts and trying different things, and learning a lot of things I didn't know. Nothing wrong with asking questions! Thanks again!

    Daily work uniform is slacks and dress shirt. Waistband carry is not an options. Carry a Glock 43 in a Galco ankle holster with calf strap. No print.
    Summer with sandals, shorts and big tshirt is a custom leather cross draw holster, no print.
    Fall and winter with a coat is sometimes a Glock 22 in a shoulder holster.
    Variety of guns for a variety of conditions.

    Great video for showing us all the different kinds of holsters out there to look at and and pick from. I've looked at a lot of holsters lately, and still this video showed me a couple of types I hadn't run across, and gave me some great pros and cons on each that I hadn't thought of. I like that he actually puts these holsters and puts guns in them so we can see exactly where they go and how they function in different positions on the body. Great job !

My t-shirts will probably not be enough to cover the pistol. Thanks for the tips and info.

    💕Thank you SO much for this video! I am a single mom who recently bought my first handgun. My question to you is what type of holster can a woman carry who DOESN'T wear a belt, ever? Are there purses made with holsters attached or put somewhere for easy access to "me" and not everyone else? I took the LTC class and test and got a 247/250 at the shooting range and a 100% on my written test!😊 I have a S&W 9mm M&P Shield. Thank you so much!☺️

    I don’t disagree with anything on the video, I shared it after seeing it and the highly beneficial level of info provided was a perfect sum up that I could point new ccw and everyday carry lifestyle and you hit the big examples but a lot of newcomers haven’t learned what is best fit for themselves yet. This can be a quality resource they can return to as they learn what meets their needs over time.
    I agree with the comment of abdominal carry not being appendix holsters being an all around poor option for me, but I think the reason it’s so common is the same as why he likes hip placed holsters without cant so the barrel is on target faster, the appendix carry provides that rapid on target speed without as much practice drawing. Again not my style either but that’s the only distinct benefit provided by them that I can see, but I have no clue if my guess is valid or not. Probably should get more info on them myself and find out so I have a better idea if asked.
    All around great content and appreciate the resource it provides!

  • @switchtr3
    @switchtr3 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great video, very informative. One thing I will disagree with though, even it the holster is all nylon, etc, you will never be able to "bend" it enough for a seatbelt buckle, table corner, a pen, or a child to press through the "fabric" and pull the trigger. It is softer than hard plastic (which isn't as smooth when sliding the gun in and out of for sure won't argue there) but not THAT soft to the point where the trigger can be pulled. It's still pretty darn thick and stiff despite not being a "hard" material. If your preference is to carry a full plastic holster that's totally understandable, but don't for a second even pretend that a nylon holster is flexible enough to allow an accidental trigger pull/discharge. If anything it's just more form fitting to your body. If you had no trigger guard you might be able to depress it enough, but in that roughly 1" space between the frame/guard you're not gonna be able to hook a table corner into it hard enough to pull the trigger, even if you fell on it with all your weight.

    • @tomabbott9653
      @tomabbott9653 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Real pleased with the company, the holster is just ok for me but it's not their fault. I have a Ruger SR9c Talo Edition which means the slide is slightly different than a standard SR9c. When I ordered the holster I wasn't thinking about that difference so when I got it the retention wasn't the greatest. To Raw Dog's credit they sent me a new holster free of charge and let me keep the old one too even though this really wasn't their fault. I'm using the Raw Dog for the time being because when I have it on, IWB, and my belt snugged up that pistol isn't going anywhere. I'll probably look for another holster some time later on. Again, I want to stress that this was not Raw Dog's fault, they sent me a holster for an SR9c, not the Talo Edition, but they still backed up the holster as if it was their fault, so kudos to them.

Long torso, short ass legs. Having hard time getting my iwb type holsters to be even slightly comfortable and my gut and muffin top get in the way of the draw. Almost ripped my gut open with the rear sights a few times. Any suggestions? Got a inside the pocket deal I been using but not a fan. I carry a G30s.

      WhiteDean45 I doubt he's against it. It's just the guns that are suitable for it are very limited. If you feel comfortable carrying in any fashion/position, as long as it's safe, it's good in my opinion. If all you can carry is a 380 in your pocket, it's much better than leaving the 45 at home that you couldn't conceal that day.

These belts just "scream" quality. I have to say very impressed and am enjoying them immensely.

      I can almost guarantee that no one can actually sit while carrying concealed with that holster, unless it is a micro 9mml or
      .380ACP!!
      Anything larger would actually ride in the area of the leg where the body bends when seated!!
      Then there's the whole, "Are you carrying concealed or are you just happy to see me?" question that will eventually come up!
      It must have been the grandson or great grandson of the person who devised the women's high heeled shoes that came up with the Urban Carry holster! People who just like to get people to buy stuff that makes them uncomfortable.
