Thank you and yes....very comfy. What's cool is that any minor adjustments that I may have to make are all just "natural". Like the way guys "tug up" on the top of the pant legs before sitting....same with getting out of my Jeep, just natural straightening out/pulling down my shirt.

BTW, my belt is a 5 dollar "Old Navy" job...rarely wear belts. As a matter of fact, I wear Adidas or Nike (nylon/polyester) running pants/sweats and carry the same way just by tightening up the draw string.

I can see the attraction for appendix carry......but man i just can't get past the fact that the muzzle is either pointed right at privates or my femoral artery when holstering/unholstering.

whamonkey... let's face it, guns are DANGEROUS and should not be handled or carried except by those who can exercise the care and skill required for safety. Sometimes I carry AIWB, other times at 4:30 o'clock and ALWAYS holster with great care.

I hear ya but, you do get over it pretty fast. I would compare it to the way some are a little nervous about a cocked and locked 1911.

Gun stays in holster while being place in waistband, same when removing...so the trigger is always covered (and we all know that guns don't just go off on their own). Lately I've been getting into the habit of placing my thumb on the hammer too just as an added precaution.

If for some reason I have to holster the gun while I'm wearing the holster, I flick the safety on once holstered I flick it back off.

Easy fella.......I wasn't asking for a safety lesson. You must admit that under stress there is a POSSIBILITY of an unintended discharge. That was one of the big drawbacks to SOB carry, the muzzle sweep across the back of the body.

Carry however you like, I was making a personal comment about a carry method I don't agree with. My intention was not to start a ******* contest.

I also don't see it as the same as cocked and locked, that has nothing to do with muzzle control.

I am carrying a Tanfoglio Witness .45 compact in these pictures.

Did you spot it?



The reveal (ignore the belly... it is being removed after playing Santa):


And here is the holster I made to accomplish this:


The T-shirt untucked and the jeans are my everyday wear. The shirt is a little smaller than I like, but it would be the worst case scenario.

I noticed that the front snap loop became exposed during one of the reaching pictures... I have snapped a D-ring through the loop and clipped the key carabiner through it. Now the loop looks like a key holder.

Thanks,
Mike

Is that a Milt Sparks Watch Six?

I love my Sparks VMII's, but I've replaced all the snaps with Chicago screws. I've always preferred to thread my belt and holster with my jeans off. Don't need those snaps!

Never mind. I found your other thread. Nice job!
