I have a Glock 36 and I conceal it in a MTAC IWb holster at 5:30. However when I get into my car, it feels a little uncomfortable. Maybe it is something I should get used to?
Do any of you adjust the holster before driving? I know it may sound absurd since the entire point is to conceal carry.
I just got my CPL today and will make my WWW tomorrow evening.
I carry a Sig P220R IWB at 4:30 in a CB Supertuck. 4:30 is very comfortable (for me) even with this large framed gun. I would suggest trying a few different positions and find out which works best for you.
As others have suggested, you might find that something around the 4 o'clock position should alleviate your discomfort while still providing access to it.
I carry my XD9SC in that fashion and don't have to adjust it while getting into or driving the car.
Each holster is different. For me, using a VM-II with a 1911, all I need to do is use my thumb to gently press forward on the guns beaver tail to make a minor comfort adjustment once seated in my wrap-around bucket seats. :smile:
The seat can make a difference, too... the bench seat in my truck is no problem, but when I drive my hunnee's car with bucket seats, I pull my pistol out of the MTAC...
I wear my CZ P-01 in an MTAC at 3:30. I originally started wearing it at 5:00 but ran into the same problem you note while driving. Everyone has a different body type, but i find that if I let the holster hang a bit low when I drive that it is perfect.
Generally people say what they mean. Before driving, or while driving? Cell phones are bad enough.....please don't attempt to adjust your 'stuff' while driving. Concentrate on the road. It's just a suggestion 'cause most of the folks here drive the same roads you do. Let's be safe out there.
I carry IWB but usually (or at least, often) take my weapon off and place it where I can access it in the car. I don't do it so much if my wife is in the car with me because it freaks her out.
I carry my 1911 in a Crossbreed Supertuck at 3:00 to 3:30 I have it adjusted so it has a lot of cant (at 6' and 345lbs) it sits so the grip is tucked to my side. I have found it sometimes pushes up because of hitting the seatbelt buckle ( have a Dodge caravan so buckle is lower then the seat) but I find this the most comfortable when driving and it is very accessable when driving.:smile:
