Why Carry Feels Different When Sitting and How to Fix It
Most of us don’t spend our entire days standing or sitting. If you’ve been carrying for awhile, you’ll know that this simple fact of life presents some unique challenges when it comes to not just concealment, but comfort, and equally as important, access to the firearm. For me, what I notice most is that the grip starts digging into my side (for strong side carry), the muzzle pokes my thigh or pelvis, and what felt invisible a minute ago suddenly feels like I'm smuggling a brick under my shirt, regardless of what gun I’m actually carrying. If you've carried for any length of time, you already know exactly what I'm talking about. This isn't your imagination, and it isn't a sign you bought the wrong gun or even necessarily the wrong holster. It's simply just geometry. Your body naturally changes shape when you sit, and your holster has to work a lot harder to keep up with it since it's an inflexible object. Today I want to break down why sitting throws off a setup that felt great standing, and more importantly, what you can actually do about it to make it a bit less awkward.
A Critical Look At Shoulder Holsters
Shoulder holsters are not something I wear every day, but they are a holster I would not like to be without. Many professionals find a shoulder holster the ideal fit for their duty and lifestyle. I do as well and if you need to get a load off the belt line and space the weight out along your shoulder blades the shoulder holster does a fine job.
Light Bearing Holsters
Many years ago I spent nights as a peace officer searching buildings and crime scenes with a handheld flashlight. The light was carried in a ring on the belt. It flapped about a lot. Eventually we had powerful but compact lights. There were any number of holsters with a flashlight holder. We developed tactics for mating the gun and the light. Usually the two hand hold was used and the combat light held in the fingers of the weak hand. The small lights were not all that great but LED and battery technology created truly efficient lights.
How Much Do People Really Notice When You Carry?
It’s completely natural to be hyper-aware of how much you’re printing when you first start carrying a concealed firearm. Unless you’re wearing a heavy jacket or sweater, you can usually feel and sometimes see the gun on your body. After all, you’re the one wearing it. Most new carriers make the same mistake of assuming everyone else notices it too. Today, I want to tackle a topic I’ve received countless questions about and one I personally had to learn a lot about when I started carrying.
