position for conceal carry guns

[tempest580]

i have heard some mixed things in where you should or should not carry a gun on your body, one of the things that I have heard is that you should not carry in the small of your back because of the fact that if you fall you could damage your lower vertebra. I would like to hear your thoughts on where the best and worst places are that you could carry a gun.

You should carry in whatever position you find the most comfortable. I carry a Ruger P345 IWB w/FBI cant at about the 4 o'clock position.

I carry a Glock 19 at 4 o'clock. Extremely comfortable and no problems printing.

I carry in the small of my back, and have done so for quite some time without any troubles. I have also carried IWB at about the 4 o'clock position strong side.

I carry iwb at about two o'clock

Depends where I am. When I am at ease, no worries, but alert, I carry on my calf. If I am somewhat worried, Glock goes from my right calf, to my left arm pit with no holster, Trigger Block Safety in place. I try to stay out of situations where I need to have my gun that accessible. Once the alert is over, back to my calf.

I carry my M1911A1 usually on 4 OWB open or 1-2 IWB concealed. My XD45 at the 4 OWB open, 12-1 IWB concealed low ride, or a horizontal shoulder rig. I want to get this vertical rig I saw for my 1911. I have had many tell me that the 12 is a bad idea.

I love appendix carry. As a woman, it's been the easiest position for me to conceal.

As a woman it is easier for me to carry appendix style, but since I have been trying to find a comfortable holster to carry that way I have had some men tell me that is not a safe way to carry. I personally feel that you carry wherever you are most comfortable. I can see how you could risk a back injury if you fall down carrying in the small of your back, but I think you would have to fall pretty hard to do so.

I carry at 8:00, IWB or OWB. I'm a lefty. Gets it off my hip, and off the small of my back.

 

[lish]

I carry IWB at 4 o'clock position

 

[SAR in FL]

OWB 2:00 AM (haha)

 

[Harleymonster]

OWB 3-4. Prints more than an IWB, but it's more comfortable, and I like it being more easily accessible on draw. And it's what I wear in training, so I stick with it.

 

[tempest580]

thank you all for the advice and opinions that you have given me.

Have you checked out the appendix holster from CrossBreed® Holsters They make great products, and the clip for this one is off to the side of the firearm, reducing bulk by spreading it out. I'm not a woman, but I've been looking for good carry options for my wife who's a very petite, young, stylish woman, who refuses to change her wardrobe to carry.

3:00 IWB in a Crossbreed Minituck, and front pocket in Desantis Nemesis.

 

[Firefighterchen]

1 o'clock appendix iwb (concealed)

3 o'clock weapon side (open)

Pocket carry weapon side primary or reaction side bug (concealed)

With sob carry, I understand the possibility of a back injury, but I have not heard of it actually happening. I don't carry that way because it takes to much movement and time to reach that far. I feel that way about any carry past 3/9 o'clock. I will not open carry with a firearm behind me out of my sight.

With behind the back carry, just think about everything that you are targeting before you bring your gun to its intended target...it's mostly you.

IWB at 4 o'clock with a 10° cant. Found that this is the most comfortable for me. (Taurus PT709)
