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
|
|
Concealment Apparel: |
5.11 Tactical
Series offers concealment vests, jackets and
no undershirts. You can put the handgun in the
provided pockets of the outerwear or add the

concealment pockets.
