The scd would have prevented the gun from going off if used and something got jammed in the trigger.

My firearms instructor had a guy ventilate his holster and ass cheek using an OWB kydex holster worn at 4 o'clock during a drill.  Complacency like yours is when people do shoot themselves.

Do you you really tie your shoes bending at the waist?

I use all kydex AIWB holsters and pay attention to what the fuck I'm doing when reholstering. It's not that... hard

I probably reholster a loaded gun a couple hundred times a weeks

You need to find a new range or a nice spot out in the woods.

This.

No one is perfect, you ND into the side of your leg or your ass cheek it's a painful lesson but not really a big deal, junk or femoral artery is a different story.

Yes, I am.  It does not work with my body.

It's uncomfortable as fuck and only slightly faster.  For me, it sucks.

I'll do me, you do you.

You are fucking ripped, dude!  Holy shit.

Good job!

What holster is that? I like it a lot.

I admit appendix carry gives me the willies sometimes. If im sitting its aimed right at my dick or the large part of my thigh. Bullet would either castrate me or destroy my leg if i didnt bleed out. Only problem hip carry i have to wear dumb big shirts that make me look poor.

Apparently like most Marines the loss of an inch or two doesn't really make much difference.

He now has a real good come on line with chicks, too.

We should all be so fortunate.

Me, I find it uncomfortable. Appendix carry is for those blessed with abs toned by lots of crunches. Mine are toned by lots of crunching food. Not so abbed. You have to have a lot of flat vertical real estate for a 4" slide to fit under a belt line plus holster and not contact the nether regions. Much less the angle of the dangle and it going off.

It's not a take it or leave it kind of thing, aside from all those folks shot in the thigh from their Glocks (shooter error predominantly.) If you can't get the gun to fit under the belt line and still sit down to drive a car or work, what good is it? For that matter, it's a poor place to carry unless you stand - which is how most cops operate, and why so many carry methods are for upright walking people.

Me, I find a shoulder holster pretty much does it all, on the beach, driving a car across country, whatever. We are not cops, we are not operating operationally, we are CCW, and concealed means concealed. So, stop chasing rabbits and wear 1) however it works for you, and 2) not like a cop unless it works for you. Cops are not the guiding light for carry. Professional on duty is not CCW. We don't run to the sound of shooting, we check our surroundings and then negotiate an exit, without a gun in our hand precisely to prevent being a target for those who are looking to shoot the first "man with a gun" they see.

Nonetheless, it still will not keep you from perforating your hips or buttocks if you tangle up your trigger holstering a Glock. Goes to concealed means concealed - what was that Marine doing with his gun out of his holster? Massad Ayoob once compared it to walking around commando unzipped.

Don't walk around commando unzipped in public and you won't get it caught in the elevator of life.

Oh, so all long the Marines were just drawing TARGETS.

That'll get those Navy pilots out of the court martial they'll surely face.  "Well, Sir, we were just skywriting TARGETS for the Marines...."

thanks, feeling soft now that I'm not lobstering anymore

It's a jmcustom aiwb holster 2.0 with extra tuck.

I have the same holster for a 5" 1911 and one without the extra tuck for my g19. The extra tuck helps alot so I duct tape a piece of foam to my g19 holster to do the same thing.

If you have the time to do this, I agree it is safer.

That being said, being able to re-hoslter a loaded firearm is a 100% necessary skill.

Here's my suggestion for you.  Get a snap cap.  Put it in the chamber.  Empty mag (or filled with snap caps).  (quadruple check everything just for safety, because I like my dick).

Practice drawing and reholstering.  It's cheaper than doing it at the range, and you can dry fire it after you draw to get the finger muscle memory right as you bring the pistol up to target.

I'm sure you use kydex, but if you don't.....use kydex.  LOOK at your holster as you re-holster to observe obstructions.  Then let go of the idea that you need to put it away like you are making a statement.  Just put it back in.

Then put an obstruction, like a hoodie string, rock, or something else in the holster and get used to the feeling of things being not right.  (again, with a 100% safed gun......if you want to go all the way, take the barrel out).

But being able to reholster confidently with a loaded pistol is a totally necessary skill.  Holsters are not just for concealment.  They are there to hold your gun so you can have 2 free hands as well.  If you use a Glock, get a SCD.  It is a very good idea for anyone who uses a Glock as it solves really the only issue I have with Glock.

But FWIW, I've been carrying Glock only since I started carrying for personal reasons.  I've never had a problem with them.

I am overweight and I am able to manage. We must have some seriously fat people here if they can’t do it.

I dunno, due to morphological differences between people playing a part in where they select to carry......but of all the places I've tried to CCW, AIWB is by far....the most comfortable.

I've tried everywhere else.  Used to do the 3-4 o'clock thing but it screwed up my belt balance on my hips and screwed up the position of my fixed blade.

Not everyone is going to agree, but for those of us who it works for.....it's great.  I do have a long torso though, and I think having a longer torso and less belly fat is key to AIWB being comfortable.

I don't find it hard to sit or bend at the waist....and in fact, it's easier to do because before, I couldn't bend at the waist because it would print my gun like a mofo.  AIWB when you bend, sure, you get a little digging into you by the rear of the slide/beavertail.....but it's not sticking out like a sore thumb because your clothes are now tight around it.

I even carry AIWB when I go hiking for miles.  Seriously.  It was odd at first but once I figured out positioning and holster selection......its tits and I won't carry any other way unless I'm OCing (which I carry at 3 when I do, so I have more positive control should someone try to grab it.....which I use a safariland level 3 retention holster when I OC).

So?

Proper training has a cost to it. In this case the cost is time & deliberation. Either pay the cost or enjoy your ballistic bris.

That’s some HOTD shit right there.

You’re doing it wrong.
