Old Model Blackhawk, .357, inside the waist holster

I carry my SR9c in my purse. I feel so manly...

You are, dear. You are.

I prefer OWB @ 3:00 in a leather holster. Pretty much old school.

I carry my Sig 226 in a Blackhawk Serpa at 4 o'clock......or in a Tagua Leather IWB in the SOB
I carry my SA-XD sub-compact 9 in a Blackhawk Serpa at 4 o'clock.......and in a Tagua Leather IWB in the SOB

Right now I'm carrying two weapons. A Glock 27 in a Galco ankle glove, and S & W 340PD (.357) in a Safariland pocket holster.

Neither is a backup weapon. One is a "seated" and one is a "standing" weapon. The S & W is easily accessed when standing (but impossible to access while seated). The ankle holster is accessible while seated, but slow to access when standing.

Glock 19 in a Safariland paddle holster sometimes, but my P32 in a DeSantis pocket holster always.

I carry a Kimber Covert II .45 acp on my belt.

I carry a PX-4 compact 9mm most of the time in an IWB holster similar to a Supertuk. Occasionally I carry an M&P 45 FS in a fobus paddle holster it isn't nearly as combfortable though.

Since October, I stopped carrying in my purse (Thanks, Steve). So, I'm sure this will also be met with disapproval, but I carry my SR9c in my Remora holster, at 5:00, with the grip facing out (right).

I tried to find a picture, but apparently I'm the only one who does this.

Holly, be extremely careful about falling backwards on that gun you carry at "5:00." You could injure your spine, perhaps permanently.
It might be a good thing to practice rolling away from the pistol, as you fall backwards. Not only would you save yourself possible spine damage, but you would be able to make a retaliatory presentation much more easily from down there on the floor.
Do you ever practice presenting and shooting from supine? You should, you know. Prone too.

many many years ago when i first got into judo and jiu-jistu i remember spending weeks learning how to fall without getting hurt... then how to position ourselves to defend from the ground... over the years those lesson have come back to save my ass, literally.... slipping on the ice on a philly sidewalk 30 years later i did a damn near perfect shoulder roll and was none worse for the wear....

learning to fall is a basic self defense skill that very few have much less master.

slow day..... lol

I do love you guys...

5:00 is not so bad. More likey to injure a kidney than the spine. But I think that having the butt forward is not such a good idea. In a fast draw you will be pointing the weapon at your vitals as you clear the holster.

I think you can become comfortable at teh 4:00 position with the conventional grip position. If you still have the figure that I prefer to imagine you do, then this should conceal well.

Haha, thanks. I feel VERY uncomfortable with the "conventional grip position". It is awkward and I can't draw. As for my kidneys, my old age has already given me wonderful kidney stones... So, eff 'em.

I also like the butt forward position. You do not have to "sweep" yourself drawing any more than from the conventional position. It's all in training. Just draw and keep the muzzle pointed down and away from your body. Now if you are going to shoot from sittin' on your butt or laying back, the only logical answer would be an ankle holster. Fall back, bring your knee up, grab your gun from your ankle holster and straighten your leg. Your pistol/revolver should be pointing at the targed as soon as it comes out of the holster.

So what's next the bra holster?

On a serious note. My wife is wanting a purse to carry her pistol in when she get her CCW. They are allowed to carry a gun as long as it isn't on their immediate person (OWB or IWB). She likes the ones with the longer straps and a pretty big main compartment. Any, recommendations?
