Wedgie Carry - not a trend.

I would not cover the top of the grip. Try adding another shirt layer if printing is an issue. IMO, you are too conscious since carry is new to you. Most people are blind and unaware.

 

That's a new one to me. I would just carry IWB with a somewhat loose cover garment and not sweat it.

 

Smartcarry - yes
Rolling underwear over gun - no

 

Is that a thing or am I a freak?

I vote freak, but on a good note, I FINALLY get to use this smiley.


:freak:


:biggrin2:

I can't wait until I just get used to it.

No worries man, you'll get used to it.

 

I read it twice. Don't have the words.

 

I wish I could say I posted this for amusement purposes but I really did this today. Thanks for letting me know that "it gets better" when it comes to carry.

 

You could carry a couple of Italians, half of their kin, and a pizza oven on your belt under your shirt, and no one sees squat. Hang in there. It gets easier, and at some point, you stop caring. Concealed means concealed.

 

:scruntiny: Not sure if serious.





But, if you are, don't worry just relax a little.

OP, if you are, in fact, carrying/concealing "deep" as you say...don't worry, be happy. :yup:

And about your WW trip, it's best that you go there when you have something to purchase. Trolling around (with a loaded gun) may appear suspicious and draw the attention of the security cameras and lost prevention folks.

I will go shopping for groceries, than. I am in need of groceries.

 

Well, I will surely make a pilgrimage to Wally World this weekend and follow your good advice of reaching up, stooping down (using the knees), and so on and so forth -- without picking at my clothes, and all of that -- I have been trying to read closely.

 

Uh.....no, I believe you are the ONLY person doing this. You are for sure the only person I have ever even heard of doing this.

I'm still trying to envision how you did this let alone why/

I carry my CW9 in one of Tommy's holsters every day and I have never been uncomfortable with it on. Is it rubbing your bare skin? If this is the case, I suggest you get some of the "wifebeater" type under shirts and wear one under your outer shirt. I do this in the summer time. Under shirt tucked into pants with holster between pants and under shirt, with a T-shirt over that. No problems at all. I would never put my undies over the grip of my gun. I would think that would make it near impossible to actually draw the gun if it was needed....

 

REAL Concealed Carriers go "commando"...

 

Is rolling underwear over the IWB grip a thing?

If it's anything like rolling thunder I'm sure it'd be appropriate.

 

:blink:

 

"Elsewhere in the news, an Arlington man was threatened by a would-be mugger this afternoon - the mugger is still being sought, having fled the scene after his intended victim inexplicably 'wedgied' himself into a stupor during the attack. Michael Moore has made a statement condemning Eddie Bauer. And now this..."

 

Who knows? This could be a revolutionary breakthrough in concealed carry theory and application.

 

ala badge and sash...

 

Dooga;
I don't think you have to worry about being busted for printing...an arrest for "felony sloppy" is another issue.:danceban:

Most new concealed carriers feel like everyone sees the gun...they don't unless the outline is so clear that the shape is unmistakeable.
Just wear the gun.

 

Does anyone else use underwear to disguise their pistol or am I the only one?

That is AWESOME. Takes "IWB" to a whole new level! :image035:

 

I think that would be IWBVD.

 

Does your grip smell like POOP? :blink:

 

Oh my God! I literally just spit coffee onto my desk!

 

Your chances of selling that gun on this forum, should you ever want to, just went down considerably.

 

I'll never sell my Glock 26. She's a keeper.

 

Do I sense a new addition to the line of Tacticool clothing? Tactical Briefs/boxers with quick release band. Thumb break boxers? We'll need a slogan. "For the Banger in You!"???????

See this is the problem I had with this method of concealment is the only way I see it being possible is if your letting your BVD's stick WAY to much out of your pants. If your going to dress like a hood you might want to NOT carry since the police are likely to give you a very close scrutiny and then they will see the bulge of your gun. Sounds like a good way to get a face plant.

I'm not trying to take a cheap shots at LEO here, just saying look like a hood, get treated like a hood.

I actually wear Perry suspenders under my cover shirt to prevent the weight of my glock 27 from pulling my pants down and revealing my tighty whiteys. If your waiste band is showing you may want to consider a pair of suspenders. On another note there are several threads that mention using the waiste band of the underwear to cover the grip when going to the bathroom in a public restroom. I do this myself.

 

You sir are wrapped too tight... in more ways than one.

 

Sittin' here wiping away the tears of laughter... Not at the OP, but at the comments. PLEASE, no pictures!!!

 

Right when I think I've heard it all, someone suprises me .

Congratulations.

 

Joking aside. Don't let any clothing inside your holster, esp with a Glock. If a piece of clothing get on you trigger just so and you insert gun it can depress trigger and gun go bang.

 

Congrats on the new CHL, take a few deep breaths and relax. I understand how highly stressful it can be when you start carrying concealed but the public at large is completely oblivious as to what you have on your belt. If you are printing even badly most likely the only ones who are even going to notice are other CHL holders or LEO's, everyone else will suspect it to be a cell phone or something similar. Worst case is someone actually catches a glimpse of your gun while I don't know of any local ordinances that may effect you but it is legal to open carry VA so if they don't see it you are legally concealed carrying if they do you are legally open carrying. If I remember correctly it took about 1-2 weeks for me to relax and not have to keep telling myself to leave my cover garment alone. Now, I don't even give it a second thought. I personally carry a full size XDm in a Crossbreed Supertuck, other than buying my pants a little looser in the waist, I don't dress any different than I did before I carried. As far as I know no one has noticed in the 7 years that I have been carrying.

As for the underwear thing, although funny, it sounds to me like it would pose too great of a risk for a ND by getting your clothing bunched up around gun and holster, I would not advise you to continue this method of concealment.
