Re: First Firearm Thread.
I love my 19 too but I cant conceal it very well. Need to do some more holster research.
P.S. Going to grab a Ruger LCP late October. A pocket gun would be great for when I'm out walking in stretchy waist band shorts. I plan on a very high rate of carry. So far at around 98% No campus carry yet.

I would avoid kydex holsters in the FL heat. They get wet and uncomfortable. The leather will soak up the sweat so you don't have a wet holster rubbing on you all day. You can get away with wearing an OWB if you were it in the small of your back or around your 4 o'clock. Ross makes some very nice OWB holsters and that's what I use when I actually use a holster. With any holster you have to have a good belt... I REPEAT GET A GOOD STURDY BELT MADE FOR CARRYING! It will evenly distribute the weight of the gun around your waist and make carrying much more comfortable. Your other option, and I'm waiting to catch some flak for this from the everyone, is to carry mexican. I didn't coin the phrase but google it and you will see that it is a legit term. Basically carrying without a holster. I do this about 75% of the time. Never had an issue. You need to be a little more aware of what your doing, but it's very concealable and in the hot weather it's not as bad as all the gear. YMMV Hope this helps you a little. |

Secondly, have you heard the story of Plaxico Burress? What happens if you fall down? The bad guy could get your handgun if he hits you and if it falls out of the waistband. I am not trying to come down on you, just trying to give a little advice. |

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Im currently using a cheap uncle mikes IWB holster. It works well for the price with my G27. I ave also looked into the Ross holsters but I really dont want to have to buy bigger pants lol. Carrying w/oa holster just wont fly for me. I am a 21 year old male with long curly hair and a beard. If anyone so happens to catch a peek Im positive the police will be called. I have seen the Milt Sparks but IMO it just isnt i the budget I would rather pool my money and put it towards another gun. What i have now is very comfortable the only thing is the glock is on the heavy side. But im sure ill get used to it.

It is risker than carrying in a holster but having weighed the risks to the comfort of carrying everyday all day it is an acceptable risk for me. It may not be to someone else and I can understand that. I usually tell people to do what they feel comfortable with because the more comfortable you are the more apt you are to carry. If you buy a crappy holster that you hate and it's uncomfortable for you to carry eventually you will start carrying less and less until you no longer do so. |

Re: First Firearm Thread.
I don't like Americans owning AK-47's. Too many of my friends have died by that weapon, not to mention A LOT of other American Troops.

How about the M16 or AR15 variant? That has killed American soldiers via friendly fire should we limit those? Part of being American, and the very thing that you fought for, is having the freedom to own this things. |

Fair enough... I think your reasoning is a little flawed, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
