A New Habit

[VegasGeorge]

My carry habit has changed of late. My wife has finally gotten over her prejudice against my wearing open tail shirts. So, no more tuck in problem. I've started carrying in a kydex paddle holster, and I love it. Outside carry is SO much more comfortable than inside the waistband, and it's a relief not to be dragging a bag around anymore. I do believe that guns were made to be carried in outside holsters!

I agree, I've been using a Fobus for the last year whenever I can, and love it much more IWB. I've heard complaints that it kicks the gun out a little too far for some, but I don't find that to be the case.

With the onset of winter weather here, I too have gone the shirt tails out. I tuck in a pocket T-shirt then the tailed shirt over that left open for now. But I still have the INSIDE holster carry. I have gotten used to that carry and have to think about it to notice the weapon as unlike my cell phone I sure DON'T want to hand check it!!!!!

Huh? :shrug: I've been using Fobus holsters for several years, and I've yet had one "kick the gun out." Perhaps I'm not clear on what that means. As long as you have a firm grip, the draw should be smooth and quick.

pioneer....methinks he means it sticks out too much...ie...."prints".

I think "kicking out" refers to the butt of the gun standing out further, so it is harder to conceal. A well fitting holster should keep the butt of the gun pressed in against the body producing the slimmest profile possible.

Yeah, I meant that the gun is held farther off the body than other types of holsters.

I don't find it a problem, and I find it much preferable to IWB carry.
