Mastering Concealed Carry: Balance Comfort, Accessibility, and Discretion
Aspiring concealed carriers, take note. A successful setup requires persistent research and continuous adjustments. The goal? To find the perfect balance between comfort, accessibility, and discretion.
Start by understanding your body's unique 'real estate'. Look for natural valleys where clothing doesn't cling, offering better concealment. Then, assess various carry positions to find what works best for you.
Holsters play a pivotal role. They should be reliable, highly adjustable for height and cant, and accommodate accessories like claws and wedges. These can help counteract printing by isolating and counterbalancing the gun's visible parts. Don't shy away from experimenting with different holster sizes. Sometimes, a smaller gun in a larger holster can conceal better.
Pressure is key. Adjust your belt or explore alternative methods to apply pressure to the holster area, bringing it in closer to your body. Remember, it's better to have a variety of unused holsters than to abandon concealed carry altogether.
Concealed carry is a personal journey. What works for one may not work for another. Be patient, persistent, and don't hesitate to try different setups. With the right holster, adjustments, and a bit of creativity, you can achieve effective concealment and maintain discretion.
