They make holsters for a reason. You're either going to drop the piece in a public place or shoot your cock off.

Going to the mailbox, taking a bag of trash to the dumpster, answering the door, sometimes Mexican carry. Most other times I use a holster.
Myself and two buddies were at Walmart getting supplies for a hunting trip and one of the guys, a police sergeant in real life, stuck his glock down the front of his waist band to go in the store. We were at the check out and he got this wierd look on his face and whispered that his gun just fell down his pants leg. There were a lot of WTF looks from other people in line as me and the other guy got the gun out of his pants leg from the bottom with out exposing it. |

Just to be clear, Mexican carry means carrying without a holster, and anyone who does it is a fucking moron.

Hopefully OP is referring to appendix carry, which works very well with a good holster. I often carry a J frame snubby that way.
"Mexican" carry without a holster is a good way to shoot yourself in the balls or femoral artery. |

I think maybe OP means "Appendix Carry". If that's what you mean, then yes, I AIWB. But I always cover the trigger guard area with a holster and it attaches to my belt to keep it in place. Gun is a J-Frame.

Depends on the gun.
1911? No way. Too heavy. Sig 225? Sure. I've never owned a carry holster for it and carried it that way for years without incident. Right over my buttcheek. Only problem has been sweat and surface rust. |

Zack holsters just cover the trigger guard of some popular pistols, and have a string that keeps the holster/gun near your belt.

In the medical community it is known as Urban Castration Syndrome, noted in the 80's for prevalenceof gansters shooting themselves when carring in front of pants sans holster. Don't know if it is contributing factor to blading at 45.

A friend of mine used to exclusively carry Mexican style. He always gave me hell for using a holster. This all changed one day when we were in the checkout line at Safeway and his Beretta 92FS made its way south, down the leg of his shorts, and clattered on the floor. Talk about awkward.

Fire off a few rounds and then "holster" your weapon. You'll figure out real quick why people use holsters. |

hmmm....let me get on this logic train.....
- You carry a pistol occasionally stuck in your waist band because you believe that you might need it. Needing a pistol (or any weapon) indicates that you believe you may have to defend yourself or in other words fight. - The fact that you don't "know" that you'll fight would by definition mean that said fight will be a surprise. If said fight is a surprise then one could reasonably assume that you don't know exactly what or whom you'll be fighting. or where....or when.... - The fact that you have no idea whom you'll be fighting would then indicate that you may not or more accurately, will not be fighting from the static, in that agility and speed lend them self well to surviving a lethal engagement. Get off the "X" logic.... So we have to assume that you'll maneuver, side step, attack, etc...with lethal speed to defend yourself. The gun may not yet be part of the equation. - The other truth to be considered is that a pistol is an adjunct to the man and the man (you) does the fighting not the pistol. - Our journey now leads us to the eternal question....can you fight with agility and speed with a pistol stuck in your waist band? Can you you parry a surprise "bum rush" or attack and still maintain possession of the pistol? Can you wing-chun your way out of a wrestling match, create a gap and then bring the weapon to bear with a pistol jammed into your waist band? So...I've now convinced myself....you should be wearing a holster. |

With my particular gun and the way I carry it, there is little or no speed difference. If there is no great advantage in speed for me, why should I shell out more money for a holster? |

And anyways, it doesn't say anything about Mexican-carry. It indicates he might have been carrying it in his pocket. Which sounds pretty dumb for a fairly sizable gun like that, but I wouldn't bat an eye at with other, smaller guns. Method of carry is highly dependent on what you carry. |

I carry in the 4 O' clock position so no cock blasting for me, but in the 12 years I have been carrying Messican, I have yet to have a problem. folks in the gun community like to over think everything and are particularly prone to paranoid fantasies of disaster befalling them. I will add though that in the last 6 months I have started carrying in an OWB holster because it's more comfortable to me. fuck what the scard-y-cats think if they see it (I wear a cover shirt or jacket), and situational awareness is key to everything defense related. |
