How do you carry it?

What's your method of carry?

Strong side hip. I'm not very fond of thigh rigs.

Crossdraw for drivers at times.

Too funny

At a local gun shop, I over heard a kid, (19 yrs.), ask the clerk if he could purchase an ankle holster for a Desert Eagle .50 cal.

I saw three near me blow coffee out their noses.

And I just blew coffee through my nose.

Used the clip on my officers model 45 for a while and never got used to it so removed it.

Will stay with the simple .38 in the pocket, jam in your belly and squeeze the trigger a couple times style rig.

On the that little .22, a shot in each eye is a day ender.

When I'm in casual dress I usually carry my Glock 27 in a regular fanny pack.

If I have to dress up, or wear something that the FP looks bad with, I switch to my S&W 442 revolver and the Kramer pocket holster.

BTW: The Kramer Pocket holster is a great holster for those small revolvers! They also have a great line of other holsters as well.

strong side hip in a Kramer #3 Horsehide IWB or a Raven concealment if carrying OWB.


Sometimes I carry SOB if i wear a fitted shirt so I don't print as much.

Guy's arguments against thigh rigs have had a profound impact and caused me to take a good look at how I carry a sidearm at work. I have since then went and bought a slightly dropped holster, more low hip vs thigh just to accomodate the draw when in full kit.
