I know we've done this before. I've asked it before. But it's been a long while. I have noticed a few people (like 03RN) that have shown they are actually carrying it AIWB. Which kind of blows my mind. Lat time I carried my M9 IWB I had a sore back. But I freaking love shooting that gun. And honestly, I like the added layer of safety of a DA trigger for a carry gun.
I am thinking of giving it another try. I also noticed that I think someone mentioned those wilson combat grips might be thinner than the stock grips. Is that true or is it some other kind? I suppose that could help too. Just wanting to see the current state of affairs or general consensus on how everyone is carrying it, if they are. It's funny how things ebb and flow. 10 years ago the M9/92 was scoffed at by most around here. It seems like Wilson Combat has breathed new life into the platform. And the decocker only conversion. I'm not overly sure I want to do it yet. I'm not crazy about how it sticks out further. But I do like how it's just a decocker. Obviously.

On the rare occasions that I carry it, it usually lives in a shoulder rig.

Thigh rig when dismounted. Chest rig if I know I'm going to be getting in and out of a lot of vehicles.

You're cheating. That's your compact. Isn't it?

The vertec is on consignment at my shop but I still have my FS I'll carry on occasion. The holster also works for the compact too |

I like that holster. I've heard that name before somewhere. Well more than likely on here. I think I did.

I use the Beretta iwb holster.
There is a hole in my favorite pants. If I bend over sometimes the barrel will pop out. I'm going to have to stop sitting down with it |

I used to carry a 92 variant, IWB, as well as a couple other full sized guns. But after trying out OWB a few years ago. I"m not going back to IWB.
I'll carry either my Brig Tac (my main EDC, 99% of the time) or my M9A3 in either a Galco Jackass shoulder rig most days, these days. Or I'll carry either OWB in a thumb break holster, crossdraw. About the ten o clock position. |

If you do a shoulder rig most of the time, I'm assuming you're wearing a jacket a lot? |

It will fit none railed guns as well. I don't know if m3 tactical still makes this one for Berettas anymore but JM custom makes a very similar one which I'm ordering for a 1911 I'm very happy with it |

This, at the 4 o'clock position. About 4:00. I know it's a large pistol, but i have found it more comfortable to carry than some smaller guns. Might just be that it suits my body well, but the 92 is honestly more comfortable for me at the end of the day than a G19 in a VMII. Something about the 92 causes it to tuck its grip perfectly underneath the back side of my ribs, and lay flat against my back. FWIW, a CZ compact variant carries about the same way for me. I'm a very big fan of the VM holsters. I own a TON of bolsters, and they have always been what I come back to. |

I wanted to buy a good thigh rig (safariland) a long time ago, but the only use I'd have for it is at the range. And I'm not really into looking like an operator when I'm the furthest thing from it. I did take my Taurus PT92 (before I had an M9) once in a cheaper blackhawk thigh rig Deer hunting once. In case I ran across any bunnies to eat..... Which was kind of silly because a .22 would've probably been the better way to go. I didn't see any deer or bunnies that time. Grrrrrrrrr.... |

It is a mammoth of a gun, so I use it for range only or strap it to a thigh when coyote hunting. I use a UM84 Bianchi either on the belt or on the thigh rig.

If you do a shoulder rig most of the time, I'm assuming you're wearing a jacket a lot? Hey, Just got back to this thread just now. I guess I'm old school/weird since yes, I do crossdraw. It's has it's disadvantages, just like anything. But i like the comfort when driving/sitting. Ease of getting the when driving/stitting. And I like being able to get the gun with both the strong and the weak hand(left)if need be.Plus since I use a shoulder holster. The draw is somewhat the same. I'll try to get a pic up in the next few days. Yeah, with the shoulder holster, I'm often using some kind of cover garment if I'm concealing. Maybe a jacket. Or a vest. (None of those "shoot me photographer" vests). But someting like a winter/North Face thing). Or a vest for cooler weather, but not the winter. Or depending on what I'm wearing. A baseball jersey or even a good fitting, if slightly loose fitting buttoned/unbottoned dress type shirt. Though where I live, it's really laid back and pro gun. So I OC both ways as well sometimes. |

Quote HistoryThat looks like a good holster and positioning. I don't have a really good 92/M9 holster and that might be part of my problem with it. Although I'm debating on getting an OWB one too. |
