Members who carry..

What kinda of holster do you guys use when you guys carry that are not to bulky? Or make it seem so bulky... For a smaller 9mm?

[ahmonrah]

fobus paddle holster......https://secure.fobusholster.com/catalog/images/GL3.gifthis holster, fits clost to the body(IMO) and doesnt require it to be looped throught the belt which, when using holsters like that for me, my weapon didnt feel too secure. i had a glock 17(9mm) previously and switched to fobus because of the fact that the paddle goes under the pants and there are little clips that hook onto the belt, keeping the weapon close to the body and there is no "flop" like associated with some belt holsters...my g21 doesnt flop!! oh, and i dont wear my pants down past my ass either, which helps.

[Halfwit]

yeah im wiht him^

[DamnDisLaOsBoY]

i have paddle holsters too but i think its kinda bulky... i love the uncle mikes inside-the-pants one... can carry it on your waist or like a gangster... haha jk but yeh i love that one... with small shirts you can barely even see the handle...

[quickdodge®]

I don't know the name of mine, but it was about $25 and it's real thin. Later, QD.

[OneSlow5pt0]

[Julio]

I have 2 holsters... just need something maybe less bulkier...

[Nyteryder]

Here is on of my holsters. I use this one when I am wearing clothes that are not very bulky. I only paid 15 bucks for it. I have had this one for 5 years so its pretty worn.

Perfect... I want something like that. :goodjob:

Ima have to hit up the store...

[Jaimecbr900]

I carry with a Fobus paddle as well. I have a bunch, but my paddles are by far the most comfortable. I like my Fobus because it has a positive retention hold on the gun and it doesn't move around. It's easy to manipulate and stays close to the body. It also can be worn in the car with a seat belt without it bothering you.

I have some inside the pants, but I've always found them to be more uncomfortable than paddles. It also makes it a little more difficult to draw because it likes to snag a lot more.

I've worn mine even without a belt. I like them.

[Echonova]

Uncle Mike's are ok, good for the price. Forbus paddle is the only holster I felt comfortable with, without the retaining strap. Depends really on how much your going to spend... Some of the custom made ones you forget it's there.....

The one that I have in my pics were custom made by a guy at the shooting range on peachtree ind.(american marksman) so they sell it in the store for him

I have the paddle too. I dont wear it that much because I like to forget that i am carrying and with that holster I cant use it with alot of the clothes that I wear (unless I want to open carry) and I can always tell that it is there instead of being able to forget about it

[1000cckiller]

I carry my 9mm, but I always keep my desert egale close.

[Nitro]

looks like imma have to snatch up 1 of those Forbus paddles for my Glock i have a crossfire or some bullshit right now i'm not happy with ....not too good for conceiling <sp?>

[1000cckiller]

who goes to the range, I try to aleast once a month, to keep my skills fresh

[3.5altman]

Perfect... I want something like that. :goodjob:

yes sir, me too :goodjob:

[Nyteryder]

The fobus paddle is great if you are pulling out your weapon and holstering it often. The "in the pants " holster is a PIA to put back after you pull out compaired to the paddle

[Nyteryder]

yes sir, me too :goodjob:

When are we gonna have that shoot out with me and my wife vs you and swoll at the range.

[3.5altman]

ohh snap, ummm soon my friend very soon! Might have to be me and greg, swoll doesn't have a gun at the moment, although he could rent one!

[WickedIXMR]

I go to the range everyday. I just step onto my back porch and fire off at trees by the river about 50-60 yards away. Later, QD.

cheaperthandirt.com I got my shoulder holster for 25.00 in there site.

[PorcheEater]

the fobus paddles are great

[con]

I use a Galco Inside the Pant Holster for my G30. It also has the shirt tuck feature. I had an Uncle Mike's in the pant holster for my previous handgun, but after carrying a few months it got worn out and the gun would slip out if tilted 90 degrees.

I like that holster, where did you get it and whats the cost

[con]

I like that holster, where did you get it and whats the cost

retail is $69.96, but I got it for $55 from the Tactical Gear Supply in Forest Park. This thing is made of high quality leather, took me a few days to break it in so that I could get the gun in and out. Fits snug and I can't foresee it ever wearing out.

[Psycho]

5.11 makes some really cool stuff.

[RISKYB]

i just use an old fashion shoulder holster pistol on one side and clips on the other, comfy and works quite well, ran through two license checks and police never even suspected it until i told him

[Jaimecbr900]

The only thing I don't like about inside the pants holsters is that it makes my belt line uncomfortable. It may be a fat boy thing or just OCD thing but I don't like feeling tight.

Also, the one very important thing is the quickness of the actual draw. If it takes you 15 secs to bring the gun out because it got snagged under a shirt or with the belt, the gun does you no good really. I even have what's called a "belly band". It's designed to be worn like a girdle and it has a sewn "holster" and even has a mag holder. It goes under your clothes and you're supposed to draw by loosening up a button and sneaking the gun out or something. It's a great idea, but it too is uncomfortable and the gun is really not held tightly at all. It's like a super hide-out holster in theory. Uncomfortable as hell in reality.

Believe me, I've tried and have a ton of different holsters. The most comfortable overall to me by far have all been paddles. The Fobus one I use frequently is all plastic, which makes it really light weight. It stays tight, so there's not to big a bulk sticking out (unless you are carrying a big gun).

BTW, the Clip Draw pictured above I've seen first hand too. It's also great in theory, but the draw back IMO is that it's something permanently mounted to your gun. In other words, it won't work in your regular holsters after you install this piece because it screws into the slide and is gun specific if I remember correctly. I think it would have the same effect as an inside the pants holster.

I saw one that used a fake old school pager at the top as a "handle" and the gun/holster sits inside your pants hanging down towards your groin area. I see it at the gun shows all the time, but it seems to only work if you wear loose slacks...;)

[GGPIS3]

[Jaimecbr900]

Yes. You can try both Southeastern Firearms on Indian Trail which has a lot of Law Enforcement stuff or Bullseye in L'ville.

[Julio]

You should go to an Eastman gun show. They have them all the time up there off Indian trail. Julio usually gives people notice on here.

[Julio]

werd.. Next one for eastman will be at the North Atlanta trade center in norcross sep 29 and 30..

The one of sugarloaf, im guessing the gwinnett fairgrounds are kinda wack.. but they are not eastman shows.
