SOB holster options

[sugarcreekbrass]

A buddy is wanting to try carry in the small of back. He is carrying a Walther PPS. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions? Thanks.

Experience & suggestion is to get your friend to do something different. I tried carrying a G19 in this mode several years ago and realized that 1) it isn't convenient, 2) it isn't safe for everyone around you *think "Four Rules in my signature line* and 3) it isn't safe for the carrier *pushed down & landing on your back, with a firearm across the base of your spine*

THIS. I threw away my G27 SOB. Under certain circumstances, its possible you not only will not walk away from a bad fall, but never walk again. Not cool. And not worth the risk.

Check out carrying IWB at the 5 oclock. (or 7 if a lefty) When I do so, I can open my jacket and my G19 is not visible to someone standing directly in front of me. And as GNR can tell you, I'm not a big guy.

Suggestions, Don't do it.

Another suggestion don't. It offers no advantages, and is probably the single worst "accepted" carry method.

Yep. You don't even have to be in an altercation to be seriously injured. Slipping on ice could result in paralysis.

Could someone enlighten me? I am assuming that SOB does not mean 'son of a b*tch'.

SOB holsters are named after what wearers yell when they fall on them.

I carry 5 clock with a 1911 and it conceals in even a tank top and I won't break my back. Maybe a rib or two but no my spine.

Thanks for the replies. I'll let him know what you all said. I was just curious after seeing many companies offer this type of holster.

A lot of people get the idea that SOB is a good holster choice mainly because HOLLYWOOD portrays all types of cops and bad guys carrying SOB with no holster.

In real life it is only good standing up. Sitting down it will rip a hole right above your butthole and be very uncomfortable. Don't mind the broken back if you fall.
