Preference and comfort

Don Hume HolstersIf you feel comfortable carrying the same handgun all year long, you may be in the minority.   Many feel the need to get into a summer/ winter carry routine and I feel that is fairly common.   Carrying a fiream IWB in the depth of winter may mean your gun is under 2 or 3 layers of clothing which can mean murphys law may come quicker.

Don hume holsters has a nice Jit Slide holster which depending on your body type might not be as uncofortable as a paddle holster, but still can be worn outside of the belt.   The real issue every  CCW holder needs to deal with is, “is this comfortable” and “can it be concealed”.    There are always different scenarios and we must train to deal with threats, but coming home with injuries or discomfort is easy to prevent if we do the reasearch first.

Seasonal Transitions for CCW

Fobus HolstersAny experienced and well trainied CCW holder will tell you that it may be wise to change your holster or carry gun during the change in seasons.    I’ve spotted more than a few CCW holders out in the open when it was pretty obvious that the machismo took the best of them and they just had to keep carrying that 1911 IWB at 5 o’clock in the summer months as they were 5’7″ and didn’t realize that when they were standing in line at the super market that I could see the T-shirt bunched up around the belt line.

Concealment is suppose to mean concleament and there are a few places in the State where a Sheriff may fine you if he can spot your firearm.   We’re free to carry in whichever fashion we prefer, but some ways of carrying firearms can hurt you if you fall down or things get physical.    I often recommend people consider pocket carry or IWB in the warmer months and in the Fall or Winter, they should consider a good jacket that opens easily and a paddle holster.   Fobus holsters will only cost you about $20 and they area easy to take off and put on and IMHO are more secure than a clip on OWB holster.
