[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Just bought my first CCW (lcp)...need holster advice.

Posted: 8/29/2015 1:02:59 PM EDT

I've owned quite a few handguns since getting my permit but never bought anything dedicated to concealed carry. I'm a thin guy (5'11" and 140 lbs) so I needed a pistol that wouldn't leave a print when I carried it, unfortunately even my G26 was too noticeable. I bought the LCP for dedicated carry. Now I need a holster. I want an IWB holster, preferably not a soft holster, it seems hard to holster the weapon when using a soft holster. I just decided to ask you experts as to what you like and don't like for holsters. My LGS holster selection is poor so I'm not opposed to ordering online.

eBay

Search LCP Kydex.

Something that small IWB I would want something like kydex where I could hear it snap in to place.

I carry in a .380 in a DeSantis Pocket Shot, in my front pocket.
Makes my IWB Shield, feel like a suitcase.

Take a look at these. I carried an LCP for 6 years in my back pocket.
No printing. I now have the same holster for a G42. Very easy draw,
if someone asks for your wallet.

I just put it in my pocket (several years now), never put your keys in the same pocket and you'll be fine.

I use RKBA Holsters. Made me a great pocket holster probably about 5 years ago. Still going strong and looks great. Good prices and pretty fast getting it to me. Personalized with my initials.

He also makes some great IWB holsters for the LCP as well.

I have this exact holster and love it.

SSGSnake:

In the web site you posted, in the LCP photo as it opens, is this holster for in your right rear pocket to draw with your right hand or for in your left rear pocket to draw with your left hand? If right handed, how do you get your fingers around the gun in your pocket with the flat flap away from your body?

Sorry, missed the question. I carry left rear. The flat part catches on the pocket lip
of my jeans as I draw. Takes a little practice to get used to the draw.

I carry IWB in a DeSantis Nemesis. The tacky surface of the holster keeps it secure enough for my needs. Been doing it for 2+ years without issues.
