Have tried various holsters over the years as we all have. For comfort and versatility, I ended up utilizing a thunderwear holster, I do not use it front carry typically however, with it I carry my sig 220 strongside.

Really unique set up. May limit speed some,but carry is very concealable.

off duty CZ75 with a inside holster (100 professional from bianchi).

Crossbreed holster IWB - XD9 at the 5-5:30 position. Seems to be best for all around concealability for me.

Sold my XD, though, and now have a HK USP 9 and am going to try both Crossbreed's IWB and OWB to see which works best.

On those rare occasions that I carry it's a Galco IWB positioned at about 5 o'clock. I try to cant the grip forward a bit for more comfort. It's still not terribly comfortable when sitting in the car, though, as my seat tends to wrap around and press the pistol up against my back. Don't know if there's a solution to that or if people just get used to it.

Weapon is a G23 with a Storm Lake 9mm conversion barrel and G19 mags, so for all intents and purposes, a G19.

Glock 19 IWB just forward of kidney area for off duty.

KarlDESU · 02-23-2010, 20:19

For duty work, my Glock 19 rides in a safariland 6004 with the new hood and retention system (can't recall the new mod #) just slightly below the hip, not quite mid thigh. For off-duty, I carry a S&W 640 IWB forward of my strong side. This facilitates draw from seated or a quick presentation from under my "belt roof"..... 19 yrs have taught me that carrying concealed doesn't always mean invisible. I have made many a "gun collar" by observing the imprint of a gun outlined by too tight a garment. Holster I use is a custom leather pouch designed to just keep the grip slightly above the belt line. Thanks for all you QP's do. My brother is a team Sgt in 3SFG and I appreciate all you do for us. Stay safe and thanks for taking over the fight from us in NYC.

Downrange in Kit I use a dropleg rig that I modified to ride high on my gunbelt, just low enough to clear my armor.

At home I use either a IWB or Belt slide postioned in about the same place becasue of muscle memory. I also have a couple of paddle holsters for the quick trips to the corner store.

I utilize the strong side hip method, however instead of it being right on the side I have my holster going over the front part of my leg. It work's better for me and decreased my draw time. It may just be my dexterity or muscle memory but it works. I originally got the idea from a friend of mine that works for Honolulu SSD. He recommended it because he keeps his Taser and secondary weapon on one drop leg holster panel. he said it helps him so I gave it a try.

Glock 33 strong side hip/Galco SkyOps IWB tuckable.

Has anyone tried the IWB sheepskin clip by Kramer?

The Blackhawk Serpa (pancake, for use with Arizona Shorts) is now part of the Snubby.
It is my bedside safety for the little smitty, as well as my very comfortable and secure carry rig. It is now a part of the revolver.

I continually see "Muscle Memory" creep into dialogue regarding motion and conditioning, just not here but other threads as well.

While many know Anatomy is to form and Physiology is to function, I'm of the impression that there is no memory cells is muscle. I think that a muscle can be conditioned to best function in a proper position, like throwing a major league ball 100MPH, Michael Jordan at the free-throw line, and Team Sergeant shooting the "second bullet" in the same hole as the first, (and maybe a few others like him), but really, "Muscle Memory"?

Memory is a function of brain activity. It is the brain that tells the body what to do. It is not the muscle telling the brain, "you are in the right position, so let me throw, if you don't let go, I will miss, time is running out, time, time, time, ok., you we were late, let's try again. I'm in the right position, can I go now, please?"

"Muscle Memory" is one of the many things left over from the 80's training regimes.

Doc(s), set the record straight,

Thanks, WD
