Appendix Carry and Belly Bands

[Big_Holla]

This was partly where I was going with my earlier comments on not caring if someone spots your weapon.

There they list a few occurrences in the last year of carrier's guns being stolen. Since I am not the biggest guy and not nearly as strong as I used to be I guess that is one thing I would be concerned of when carrying, if I ever do.

I never got comfortable with appendix carry due to the thought of a hollow point hitting me in the junk. So I've been carrying at 4-5 o'clock when I don't carry in the small of my back.

I literally wore out a Columbia leather belt in 8 months and now need a new belt. I'd rather go with a nylon, American made CCW belt. Any suggestions?

I'm about to pick up another pistol and want to settle the belt situation first.

Not a nylon belt, but I picked up a gun belt from Hanks Belts and I'm very happy with it. Great gun support and it's nice enough to wear as a dress belt as well.

I've been looking at the Hanks Belts and will probably go with them in the next month or so. I prefer a leather belt and they seem to have some real nice ones.

Did you look at the belts Dustin and I bought? He did a review on them awhile back. Mine is holding up pretty well from the holster abuse.

No. I did a quick search in this forum for that thread and didn't see it. I'll track it down.

I carry my Ruger LC9 in a pocket holster in my right pocket or in my right coat pocket with a zipper. I can't stand the cargo pocket carry as it seems to slap against my leg when walking. The most comfortable walking or standing is my crouch holster but too hard to draw when setting down.

That's exactly what I was looking at from them. The Raw Dog holster I have doesn't seem to chew up the belt as much as my fat ass switching back and forth to a different belt buckle hole LOL. The belt I have now just happens to be a store bought decent belt with some thickness. Hope switching to a good belt makes things even better.

Been pocket carrying lately. Appendix carry was alright until i went to sit down. As for belts for leather i have a Beltman bullhide belt that is going on ten years and still good to go. I ordered another one because of some weight loss. For nylon i really like the 5:11 Tactical trainers belt that i got a year ago.

Im not a fan of appendix carry. I tried it before with smith & wessom 40swve on appendix carry, lol ....didnt like it. So i tried with 9 mm shield and didnt like it either. I like mine carried behind my lower right side back above the hip although the holster Triak isn't too bad....im still looking for the rigjt holster i would like to get to get the right comfort of it.

POS Glock in a POS holster.

Bad holster design.

 

[GoetsTalon]

putting the gun in the holster while sitting down? Or wrong holster for the gun? not the gun or the holsters fault.

That was the only thing I could think of. Sure wouldn't happen while drawing it. Not unless he had his finger on the trigger as he pulled it out. Again, not the fault of the gun or holster.
