[cjtpilot]

What is your prefered carry position? IS it IWB holster, shoulder holsters, appendix carry? also why do you have that preferance?

Concealed carry position

It is personal preference, Mine is a ankle holster with a S&W 38 special

I carry at 8:00 (lefty) in a Mitch Rosen or Dragon Leather pancake holster. The pancakes are more comfortable for me and as long as I wear my shirt tail out or have something over it, they conceal just fine. The average sheep isn't going to notice anyway.

4 o'clock with a G-Code INCOG.

I don't yet have my CCW license and am still limited to open carry. Since I'm still a newbie, I'm very much interested not only on position but also holster type/brand for the different positions. I work in an office and appendix carry would get uncomfortable, but feels like a more comfortable draw to me. I've tried 3 and 5 o'clock, but it just feels unnatural. Thoughts?

I carry Old Faithful IWB at 3-4 o clock for full size 1911. Bianchi Shoulder holster for S&W Model 57. Depends on mood and where I'm going.

I carry IWB at about 5:00, with various holsters. My Rhino is in a Winthrop leather holster (thinking of switching that, though), my M&P Shield is in either a 3Speed or an Alien Gear. I very much want to try appendix, but don't have a holster that works there yet. Or pants. It might be the pants.

I carry IWB anywhere from 2 (appendix) to 4'ish depending on what else I'm wearing. Always in my Crossbreed.

In colder weather the firearm moves to the Napoleon pocket in my coat(s) in a Galco pocket holster. Not really a fan of that kind of carry, but getting under the coats I wear is a PITA.

Appendix IWB carrying a G26. An IWB ammunition pouch with a 15 round magazine at 11:00.

Sig 1911 Ultra in an IWB custom holster @ 4 o'clock. Also a spare mag on the left side in a small pouch that my Leatherman came in.

I generally carry OWB at 2:30-3:00 with a Serpa Blackhawk. When on duty, I also have my gun OC at the same position (Safariland double retention holster). Therefore, since I am trained with muscle memory to go to that position, when I carry IWB I also have it at that position using a Kholster Infinity Tuckable.

Glock 22.

I always carry either IWB or OWB at 3 oclock. Most of the time OWB in holsters of my own making.

 

[kiltedandfree]

I carry with an outside belt holster which I find most comfortable and easiest access. I've tried all other methods including ankle holster and for me this is the best.

12 to 1 o'clock AIWB, or at 4 to 5 o'clock with a hybrid IWB holster.

Glock 20 or 29, carried appendix in a JM Custom kydex holster...

I've tried carrying behind the hip but it just doesn't work for me - I prefer appendix for the ability to carry a larger gun, better concealment, control over the gun/holster and what is for me a more natural drawstroke.

I've had to lay off the hugging though LOL

My first choice would be the 1940's gangster movie style. In a trenchcoat pocket with my hand on the gun all the time. Unfortunately, that would be a little conspicuous in southeast Texas, so my SA XDM-45 4.5" (13+1 rds of .45ACP; my reload is already in the gun!) is in an IWB at 3:30-4 o'clock. Kydex is my preferred holster material, as it is thinner and doesn't absorb perspiration.
