In the Pocket
Holster: |
This
style of holster is very concealable when
using the very small backups such as the
Keltec 32 /380; Beretta Tomcat and n some
cases as large as an SW 642. |
|
In the pant
Holster: |
You can
always just stick your handgun into your
waist band and hope it doesn't fall thru
or go with an in the pants holster. You
can conceal most sized handguns in this
manner, as the handle is the part that you
must conceal from printing* You will need
to wear an over shirt or untucked primary
shirt to cover the grip from view. |
|
Ankle Holster: |
Unless
you wear pegged pants or can't reach your
ankles then the ankle holster is also a very
concealable method of hiding your defensive
weapon. One negative in regards to an
ankle holster is quick access. You may end
up exposing you head to the assailant
while acquiring the handgun from the ankle
holster. Not the fastest method of
presenting* a handgun in a violent
situation, however it beats leaving it in
the glove box or at home. |
|
Belt Holster: |
Strong
side carry is considered to be the best
tactical method to carry your handgun.
However in fair weather can be the most
difficult to conceal. You can dress in
many situations to conceal this method of
carry without drawing attention to
yourself from the everyday public.
Negative to such a holster on the belt: If
you need to remove the handgun to enter a
restricted area you most |
|
Paddle Holster: |
Strong
side carry with paddle holster. See all
the above, except if you need to remove
your handgun the paddle just pops out. |
|
Shoulder Holster: |
Works
well in cool weather when it doesn't look
odd wearing an over shirt or jacket. Not
as tactical sound as strong side carry as
you must cross over your body to obtain
your weapon and then must cross back to
present it. |
|
Tactical Thigh
Holster: |
Ok -Does
cowboy come to mind? Unless you have a
valid reason for this type of carry
or just want one - Don't waste your money. |
|
Fanny packs: |
In the
past a good way to conceal you handgun,
however even non-firearm people are aware
of this method of concealment. Yet still a
good alternative to not being armed
otherwise. |
|
Concealment bags: |
Their are
a number of women's purses with built in
concealment holsters. Also Maxpedition has
a variety of Fight-flight ready bags with
concealment holsters |
|
