Out of waistband holster for conceal carry with hoodie ?

[Scottcho]

How do you feel about outside the waste carry with something like a hoodie to co eal ? I just got my ltch finally !!! I think I'm more likely to conceal carry most places. Winter is here and I'll wear a hooded sweatshirt most days. I think outside the wasteband will be a little more comfortable. Anyone got pointers on concealment. Also always love reading open vs conceal pov. Thanks

Owb carry for a Ruger Lcp or a Beretta 92 or something in between?

As far as pointers with a good holster its not going anywhere so no need to check to see if its still there.

My personal favorite is a Galco Cop series. Offers good retention, tight to the body carry. Really you just need to go somewhere where they either have a blue gun or will let you try what ever your edc is.

I would highly Recommend Green's Military and Police, but they would be a tad too far.
But really find a good store and see what works, and don't skimp on the carry belt.

Thanks for the tips. Yeah I have seen some really bad open carry belts choices. Holster and gun flapping around hanging down like a chain wallet lol I won't be that guy

Just pick good belt and holster and you'll be fine. There is a belt thread around here somewhere...

I carry a G19 OWB all the time with a sweatshirt, it works perfect for me. A good holster and a great belt does indeed make all the difference. I wish I would have heeded that advice early on when I first started carrying.

I carry a 226 owb in a Galco Concealable and a 1911 in a Galco COP. Both work great.
A good holster / belt is the key

Well been doing it IWB all day under my blue MICHIGAN sweatshirt. Not he same as your OWB requirement, but a good Kydex IWB works for me. I do notice that bending and twisting around in it sometimes it rides up and exposes my grip and set up, but I don't care about that.

I currently carry in a Kramer leather scabbard, OWB. I also have used a Kramer Vertical Scabbard. Comes down to canted or not - which you like better.

As far as pointers from someone who OWB carries...

1. Quality belt made for carrying a gun.
2. I wear two shirts most always. A t-shirt tucked in, and a larger overshirt or sweater or hoodie, etc. It keeps the gun off my skin and sweat off the gun.
3. My overshirts are a size larger to help prevent printing and be comfortable.

I normally carry my g19 iwb in a vedder light tuck. When winter comes around my edc changes into a vedder owb which is normally covered by a hoodie or track jacket. I admit I used to use a leather belt until I noticed myself adjusting the gun all the time. I bought a dedicated gun belt made by soe and I cannot believe I waited so long. My shirts too, sometimes rise over the handle when gettin out of the car or bending over.

I love the Don Hume holsters, but my 1911 with a compensator that I carry every once in a while sticks out of my jacket. I still carry it, looks kinda funny haha.

I carry my G19 in a serpa under a jacket all winter. Mostly for the level 2 retention in case my jacket rides up in a crowded place.

I carry a G23 OWB under a hoodie or jacket all the time. It's really the only good thing about it getting colder outside. Rarely use my supertuck outside of summer.

unless you wear tight jeans, you may find IWB more comfy. I gave up carrying OWB because it isnt as well supported and and I find it fatigues me more with pressure points. After a full day I can tell under my belt on my weak side, as well as below my belt on my strong side.

However in my Supertuck IWB, the friction of the leather against my hip helps support it, plus it isnt sticking out as far to cantilever its weight.

While carrying OWB isnt bad, I literally forget I'm carrying IWB it is so comfortable.

And even when I OC, I still carry IWB, just at the 3 instead of the 5. Under a jacket the 5 causes it to disappear. But I dont like it that far back when exposed.
