| What position do most of you find most comfortable to carry CCW for extended periods of time.Thanks M |

I go against the grain and find a good shoulder holster with offside mag holder for balance to be the most comfortable way to carry all day. I also find the gun more accessible while seated. However, concealing a shoulder rig under a summer weight shirt is not easy so when I carry an iwb it's around the 5 oclock position. I would add that if you're having issues you might try different holsters, some are for more comfortable than others even though they look similiar in design. |
| CCW isn't comfortable unless you have the right gear. I hated IWB carrying until I got a good holster. I tried shoulder carrying, which is comfortable but a sumbitch to conceal unless you wear a jacket all day, everyday. Then I tried ankle carrying which is very easy to conceal but I never found a way to keep it comfortable. The holster would either slide down and ride the top of my foot or if I tightened it up enough to keep it from sliding, it would cut the blood circulation off just enough to make my foot ache. Eventually I poked around here for info and purchased a comptac (minotaur) m-tac holster and haven't looked back since. It rides at 3 o'clock from 6am to 7pm almost every day and I never even know it's there. As long as your shirt comes down past your pant's waistline a couple of inches, it's easy to conceal. |

I carry a Sig 239 and have bought a half dozen holsters and don't like any of them. I don't like IWB carry, maybe I need to try a different holster. Bought a BladeTec and it is the most uncomfortable holster I have tried. Back to the question. I generally carry left side small of the back (no holster) or I carry cross draw at 10. Wife is going to kill me if I buy anymore holsters. |
I carry my 239 in Galco. Obviously every holster fits every person differently but I've had good luck with this one. It took a while to break in but once there I'm happy with it. If you havent tried one yet and you happen to come across one at a gun show or local shop give it a look. |
Looks interesting and if price is any indicator they must be good  Thanks for the heads up, I may have to try one. |

Front pants pocket for a snubby is great if your type of pants allow for it. As I have been losing some weight I have been getting some new to me clothes and some don't lend themselves to pocket carry until I lose some more size in my legs. I tend to carry 2 firearms and the 2nd one gets to go iwb around 3:30 or so. Best money I ever spent was on some expensive holsters. Buy quality stuff including a really good belt. |
