This may have been asked before, but for those of you who carry in a holster, do you prefer IWB or OWB? Kydex, belly band or leather?

And for those who pocket carry, do you use a holster or just "pocket carry"? If you use a holster, what brand or type do you like?

Most of the time I pocket carry my bodyguard 380 in a sticky holster. If my pants are a thicker material I'll just carry it no holster. When I'm not carrying my bodyguard it is either a sw 45 or sw 9mm, both owb.

Being of the kydex generation that's almost all I've ever had.
The older guys are more accustomed to leather so that is what a lot of them prefer.

I would hope to God no one is carrying a loaded firearm loose in a pocket.
At minimum get a trigger guard cover style holster

Right now my go to carry gun is a Glock 43 with a +2 Vickers base plate in a Legionary Concealment IWB holster.

OWB leather holster. I can conceal a larger gun just as easy as a small one and I can shoot it better. I like leather because I have a bunch of it laying around and I make my own.

I do have a Ruger LCP as a BUG and carry it in my pocket in a leather pocket holster I made for it

I mostly carry a Khar PM 40 in a Crossbreed IWB. On hunting property it is always a full sized H&K USP .40 cal in a leather OWB my son had made for me in Afghanistan.

I prefer IWB with a glock 43 or 19.

+1 I have a few of each style. I do find I like the feel and look of a good OWB leather holster. Yet, there are times that my Alien Gear IWB is more concealable.


Sig Sauer, to hell and back reliable.

Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.

Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?

I like the inside pants uncle Mike I have. Of course I've put on few pounds and damn pants too tight now to comfortably get my hand in damn pocket. Guess it's time to upsize

I've considered it but if I follow thru I'll mount it under or to the right of the steering column.

As far as carry holster, I use belly band, OWB or pocket carry depending on the situation.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
