Beretta 92 carry holster

Hey i just got a new Beretta 92B. Does anyone carry a 92 concealed? whats the best way to carry a full size?

Nice piece. I love Berettas.

You won't find many carrying a full-size pistol. We mostly carry compacts or subcompacts(4"bbl or shorter).
Here in New England, I'd carry that during cold months OWB in a level2 holster like a Serpa or iTac under a heavy coat.

I'd honestly pick another gun for more concealed carry.

Weigh 350lbs+ so the fat rolls hide the gun.............................

Seriously, as one has has personally made EVERY mistake known to man (& then some!), allow me to pontificate. With the 92 sized gun, I have two basic options: oversize, loose shirt or shoulder holster with some sort of outer covering like a windbreaker. As I can't afford a quality shoulder holster & have learned my lesson on buying cheap holsters, I opt for the hawaiian style shirt. Doesn't have to be the loud print design, just a slightly oversized shirt will do & it allows me to use a belt holster, usually one I already have.

Speaking from experience, just about ANY gun used for CCW requires a wardrobe adjustment to be properly done, i.e. not having the gun "print". J-frames might be the exception there. But any inside-the-waistband (IWB) mode of carry will necessitate a slightly larger waist size pants, unless you're already wearing those ghetto-style pants..................

Given all that background, I personally find it more comfortable to just go with a looser shirt than buying 4-5 pairs of pants one size bigger in the waist than I need. I also urge you to skip the small-of-the-back (SOB) type holster as it kills my spine when I sit on a hard backed chair.

Good luck!

I have carried a fullsize 92FS IWB for 2 years now. I am 6'" and 175lbs.

I can only do it at the 3 o'clock position. I can do it even with a t shirt. I carry it in the summer and winter...

If you are looking for leather holsters, Kramer and Milt Sparks are two excellent companies.

Regardless of the holster you go with, a quality gun belt is just as important, if not more important.

The few times I've done it, IWB @ 3 o'clock as previously stated.
I'm 6'-0" and 170lbs. A loose shirt definitely helps.

Shipwreck what model is the holster you use?

what model is this holster and will my wrap around grips fit in this holster?

Blackhawk! SERPA CQC


Those are what I prefer. SERPA for OC, G&G for CC

Comptac pro undercover.

It's been replaced with the comptac infidel model. Same holster but now the belt clip is removable

I have a Milt Sparks VM-2 in black, left-handed, for my 92F. I bought it from a guy on the Beretta Forum earlier this year, and I'm VERY impressed with it. They are not cheap, and of you order one from Sparks the lead-time is almost 6 months. They show up used from time to time but be prepared to pay around $100 for a used one.

For concealed carry I use a Wilson Combat leather tactical holster. In uniform I use the Serpa tactical drop leg.

I also carry IWB with a kydex holster at 3 o'clock.

Most important is a good belt in addition to the holster. I can carry with dark t-shirts no problem, and now that its winter time its even easier.

a galco quick slide with a 92 Centurion has worked well for me...

I recently purchased 3 new Beretta 92s. I started carrying one as my CCW. I am currently using a Serpa level 2 OWB with a one size too big button up shirt or a jacket. But I ordered a Comp Tac Infadel IWB. Can't wait for it to show up.

I don't mind the weight, and as good as the 92 shoots I feel completely confident in it.

SERPA OWB ftw.

I conceal a 92FS daily - but only way I CAN do it is IWB. No way I'm hiding a 92 carried OWB.... Maybe in winter with a jacket on, but that's it.

I carry my 92 twelve months of the year - and its damn hot here in TX. Try carrying it OWB in the summer

6'1" 194lbs here and I carry a M9 full time

By far the best holster I have ever used

I carry mine all the time because it's the only pistol I own.

I use a Blackhawk Serpa CQC holster at the 2:30 position. When I get into my car I slide it (and the belt) to towards the 3 o'clock position so that that beavertail doesn't dig into my torso. As I'm getting out I just slide it forward a bit.

I do generally wear loose / boot cut jeans and loose untucked tshirts. I'm 5'9", weigh 225 lbs and like to wear mostly XL or XXL (to account for dryer shrink).
Most of the time I wear button up short sleeve shirt also untucked as a top layer but not buttoned up or a no sleeve fleece vest for the light windy days.

I still plan on getting a compact pistol. I'd really like the 92 Compact 13rd or the PX4 Compact 15rd.

I have been happy with the Don Hume PCCH. It is an inexpensive leather IWB holster.

Comptac infidel IWB... I only do it at the 9oclock position (lefty). However, like everyone else says in this thread, with a loose fitting shirt it is easily done at the 3 or 9 position...

What holster is that? TIA

Its custom made by a local guy.

Its my 2nd Beretta holster by him, and I've also had him do a couple Glock holsters.
