Carrying at 1-2 o"clock

[billdozer 6]

Anyone doe this? I have been fighting with ways to carry comfortably. I just picked up a Kahr p380 in hopes to help carrying from being a chore. I took my pocket holster http://www.elitesurvival.com/index.php?p=product&id=32&parent=2 and stuck it in my pants at 1-2 o"clock and wow, the gun was invisible, the draw was not sacraficed and most importantly it is very comfartable. The problem is I dont like a barrel pointed at the family jewels. Am I being paranoid? The trigger guard is not exposed. Any other suggestions? I have tried crossbreed and they are just to bulky.

The place i train/workout they call it appendix position. I carry a glock and have no issues except after big meals.

I wear my close alittle loose anyways so not much issue.

Practice draw and be sure can do it safely as to not ruin jewels.

I carry my .357 Ruger LCR in my front pocket in a Uncle Mikes.......I have the clip on the outside of my pants pocket......grip is only thing protruding from my pocket......

I tried that way (1-2 o clock) and hated it. Was very uncomfortable. I carry everything at the 3-4 (lefty) and never know its there, its that comfortable, for me. Also I dont carry "pocket" guns. My smallest, thinnest is a G19, I wear form fitting clothes and Nothing prints and no one would know I was carrying

Personally, I have found 4 o'clock is the way to go.

I'm a small guy and I've carried a S&W Sigma that way for years. The only time I've had a problem is when I forget it's there and try to sit in a car which pinches sensitive organs between the slide and the seat.

 

 

 

 

...I usually remember that it's there quite quickly.

It really is a personal thing. What ever position allows you to carry comfortably, constantly, is the best way to carry. I personally carry at the 4 eighty, but that's what works for me. I am not everyone else.

That's how I carry my 3" 1911 when I go concealed, using a holster that carries it straight up and down.  I've found it gives you the best access while seated in a car seat (especially something with side bolsters), and though you feel it when leaning forward, you don't print like you would at 4:00.

 

That said, I'm glad it's something with a manual safety..  just for that added bit of protection.

I regularly carry a pf9 like this.

Here in Washington State I seldom go without a coat or jacket.

 

I prefer cross-draw carry in a vehicle and 1-2 o'clock if I'm going to be walking around alot.

 

I suppose 10-11 o'clock might be a good compromise.

 

I can't remember the holster brand but, it holds most of the gun above the belt and under a long shirt or coat.

 

My smaller guns go inside the wasteband, chamber empty.

BILLDOZER,

   JUST REMEMBER RULE 3: KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER, UNTIL THE SIGHTS ARE ALIGNED ON THE TARGET, AND THAT THE TARGET IS INDEED SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SHOOT.

I carry my gun pointing straight at my balls loaded. I feel safer that way.
