GUN Concealed Carry Holster Recommendations

[Frank White]

I'm going to be carrying my glock 27 and i wanted to get some opinions on holsters before i buy one. I was looking at this http://www.comp-tac.com/product_info.php?products_id=95&osCsid=10s1bi7tcnes4asot5r3dov453

the minotaur mtac. they also make one worn at 2'oclock, which i figured would be a more natural placement, but less comfortable especially when sitting down/in a car. what are your suggestions?

Great holster, I love mine. Best IWB in that price range IMO.

so you use the minotaur at 4 oclock? its comfortable? and could you wear it at 2 or would it not work there

 

[Radicus]

I use an MTAC carried at 4 o'clock. I've messed around with placement and I like 4 o'clock best since it's the most natural place to draw from for me.

EDIT: 3 o'clock

mtac or ctac

2-3o'clock is the only comfortable spot when im sitting down in my MTAC, also prints less there, but im a skinny guy. took a few adjustments and playing around with the placement to find the right spot.

the only issue is bending over at the waist, you loose some flexibility that way

I wear a g26 at 3 o'clock with just a t shirt

 

[The Cable Guy]

I usually carry at 3:30 or 4:00 depending on how tight the shirt is. Looser shirts allow me to carry at 3. I haven't been using it lately though, new job doesn't let me carry on the job.

MTAC it is then

[dpixel8]

MTAC ftw

 

[jrmcm]

Crossbreed

I have an MTAC in the chestnut, my fiancee has a Crossbreed Supertuck.

Honestly for the same price I think the MTAC is better quality, but the Supertuck works

Making me want to buy new holsters damnit!!!

For winter carry I really want this, $150 at my local gun shop - http://www.usgalco.com/HolsterPG3.asp?ProductID=3133&GunID=50

Right now I currently only run - http://www.auctionarms.com/search/displayitem.cfm?itemnum=9686008
Which I am happy with but mags just go in my pocket. Those MTAC's look more "secure" I'm just worried about bulk. I'm a hair over 135lbs fully clothed lmao, I need something that works with my bony frame.

tough to go wrong with mtac

Shoulder holsters FTL, you will probably sweep your own body and/or the person behind you. That Galco will be bulky as hell with the clip in the front.

Really? I can see it "sweeping" someone behind you as that is the direction in which the barrel is pointed. But if the holster is covering the trigger, and I keep my finger off the trigger until I'm on target I don't see a problem. I'm right handed and would have the gun under my left arm, sweeping my own body would be quite difficult wouldn't it?

I already have the linked Galco kydex holster. The clip is quite beefy, but the portion of the holster actually IWB is comfortable. The MTAC definitely looks slimmer.

EDIT - Thought about it for 2 more seconds, I guess you could EASILY sweep the inside of your left arm with that setup. Nice juicy artery right there haha.

Not as juicy of an artery as appendix carry.
