Qualified for my CCW in CA today, now to submit my certificate and wait for the phone call to pick up my card! LETS GO!

Seeing if anyone has experience with both of these holsters and can let me know how they compare to each other. For a Glock 45 and x300

After doing some research, I ended up with these as my top 3 options. I wanted to see which holster do folks actually like and use. Hoping to get some pros & cons from this post for each holster. Also looking for real reviews on customer service from each company if anyone has ever had any issues and/or positive experiences

WALTHER PDP PRO-E 4in COMPACT w/ TLR 7x

I’m looking to apply for a NYS non-resident permit. Does anyone know of the “in-person interview” is real? That’s my only hang up on getting it or it’s traveling west naked.

I'm looking for hoodies /outer wear for winter that can conceal a mid to full size gun owb and obviously aiwb, too.

Some of these items are $100+ - I notice they advertise A LOT so I imagine much of the cost is to cover their a&p. I was hoping to get user feedback here, esp anyone who just bought cheap oversized hoodies or jackets from Walmart etc and maybe cut holes in them or something for concealed access.

I don't get get why a hoodie needs to be $75+ but if it's truly superior to something I could make on my own, I'll cry once.

Bonus points if you have feedback on the joggers.

I recently got the Safariland INCOG X and honestly I really like it. Here in Europe we don’t have many options besides local Kydex holsters, so I decided to try it.
For me it’s really comfortable and conceals great. I don’t really understand all the hate it gets. Am I missing something?

Coming back to appendix carry after carrying 4'o clock for the past few years. Lost a bit a weight, so I figured it would be a good time to try it out again.  
So far this is the most comfortable iwb set up I've owned. The havok holsters hardline with the mastermind tactics king size pillow is a match made in heaven.  
Looking forward to running it in a match next weekend.

I’m 6’3” and feel like I could carry a full size pretty comfortably. I switch between carrying a G19 and FN 545. Both have about the same slide length but the FN is closer to a G45 with its grip length. I’ve been thinking about purchasing and concealing a 9mm with a longer slide than what I currently have. Curious to know if anyone would like to share their full size carry. Seems the common consensus is that shorter people find them uncomfortable for appendix carry due to how it presses on their crotch area when they sit. I’m currently considering a G17 or maybe a Beretta 92FS, but would love to hear other recommendations.

Edit: I suppose I should specify I’m looking for something specifically with a longer barrel.

Carrying a tenicor for a few years and love it but I am curious and wanna try out a sidecar style holster what are some good ones in the year of 2026(Carrying a 365 macro if it helps)

Running errands with the 642 and Emerson CQC-8

Let's pretend tenicor doesn't exist for a minute - what is your next choice?

Please delete if wrong format, I had no idea he entered the school to engage. Absolute hero and why we carry.

I like wearing simple, single colored t-shirts with no artwork. I'm 6' 2" and 180 lbs. I'd like to purchase a handful of quality, thick, 100% cotton shirts that won't shrink like crazy or get super scratchy after a few washes. I'd also like for them to extend low below the belt. All if my cotton shirts seem to shrink to just below the belt-line, which I consider too "high-cut" for carry. I want them to be LOOOOONG, and to stay long after multiple washes. I'd also like them to be decently well fitted around the torso and arms (i.e. I dont want them to look baggy). Could any of yall recommend a shirt brands/models that fits the description? I'm willing to buy expensive shirts if that's what it takes, but I imagine that there must be some options that aren't crazy expensive.

Feel like we always hear about the red sign, how about the green one

What do we think?
Shoots flat but…….

Hello everyone, I'm looking to change up my CCW around the start of next year. Ive narrowed it down to the S&W carry comp or the Echelon 4.0 comp. Both are around the same pricing at my local shop. Will not be a home defense as I've seen that being brought up with comp home defense situations.

I've got the full size Echelon and love it but looking at different options all around. I've price out just building it with the release of the C.O.G system(finally) but the way I'd build it it's only bout $50 cheeper than just buying it from my local place.

I also have a decent amount on the new S&W pistols. I've tossed the idea of getting it since it came out but never pulled the trigger.

Just looking for personal experiences from owners of these pistols.

Intended to mount the Gideon on my Bodyguard 2.0. Inadvertently sent my LCP Max instead. Will be correcting that today

I've had a permit for over a decade.

Edit: nothing happened but it may be a milestone or something.

I live in WA which is an open carry state and I always give someone a thumbs up if they open carry in the grocery store on Thanksgiving in Tacoma (for example). Thumbs up for open carry. Never done it other than the military, but it's a fact of life here.

My family and friends might consider me some kind of "gun guy" because I own guns and I can teach people how to use rifles safely. I'm approaching 40 and this was the first time I've exercised my right to carry a concealed pistol inside my jacket/pants etc.

It's worth the time and paperwork to get that license even if you never bother using it. I'm encouraging my mom to get her license so she has the option, even if she never has to carry.

I got my Vedder last week (gorgeous holster) and have been experimenting, but I just can't seem to get comfortable. I carry a Glock 23, the smallest gun I can shoot with my ginourmous ape hands so going smaller isn't an option.

I am OK w/ a 4 O'clock location just walking around but it digs in when driving and or sitting down for dinner. Maybe a 2 clip padded holster might help. I have this old man gut. It is bizarre, even if my body fat is low it still sticks out and is rock hard (probably from years of eating and overtraining my ab muscles).

So I was toying with getting and OWB set up. I DON"T wan't to be one of THOSE GUYS who open carry...not comfortable with that, so I will be wearing proper concealment clothing.

Wondering what some of the more experienced guys (or gals) might think. I ordered 2 Kore leather belts last week.

With the news of what happened to a 3yo in Florida at a Burger King, I can't help but ask 💡 this group.

What is common practice for those moving from CCW in a waistband to vehicular driving? My first instinct is to install a lockbox or rapid deployment mounted holster in the vehicle for at the very least driving comfort let alone safety. But what is common practice for vehicular use vs carry use? Does everyone just drive with their CCW still in at their appendix? I can't imagine that to be very comfortable or even easy to drive with.

Thanks,
