I'm skinny as fuck and want to get my ccw. I carry a m&p shield and, aside from crotch carry, nothing works. What can you recommend? Currently trying on a blackhawk cqc. I really don't want to open carry :(

>5' 7"
>136lb

>Inb4 "manlet"

Help, please.

IWB, aliengear if youre cheap. I had a similar observation so my CQC is now mounted to my battle belt with a Strike panel.
>>
>>30998114
What about galco? I really need something that's going to push the grip to my side. Especially since I prefer 3:30 to 4o'clock position
>>
My biggest issue is that the grip tends to push away from my body. And since I'm skinny as fuck there's just a cavernous space between my back and my shirt

I'm 5'4" so i'm far more manlet than you.

I carry a Walther P99 in a Versacarry. Feels good, works well.

Looks interesting. Have a pic of what it looks like in use?
>>
>>30998016

Appendix carry should work. If you want 100% concealment, get a flush mag baseplate. Or try carrying at 11:00 so the long grip lays flat across your abdomen.
>>
JM Custom AIWB rig.

I'm about to pick up my third. They kick ass.
>>
>>30998670

I thought of 11:00 carry but wouldn't that basically amount to crossdraw? Feels like it could be awkward in an actual defensive scenario.
>>
>>30998016
You're gonna go through hella holsters if you want to be serious about CC OP. If money isn't tight G code holsters are my preference. If money is tight look on backpage/Craigslist for guys custom making kydex holsters for IWB. A lot of LLC'S are popping up trying to capitalize on the kydex craze right now, but go the extra mile and find the guy working out of his garage as a side gig and you can get them pretty cheap. But of course, make sure they are reputable.
>>
Can someone who does appendix carry explain to me how it is done without jamming the barrel into your dick and or balls? I see some guys carrying at 12 and some at about 1 but every time i have tried it rides my junk the entire time. Never mind sitting or driving.
>>
>>30998016
heh.
heh heh.
manlet.
>>
>>30998670
I've been carrying around the complex at 11:30 and it works as far as concealability and I can get a good, fast draw. I just don't like the idea of having a barrel pointed at my dick or artery. What's a solid crotch carry holster option?
>>
>>30998016
Carry AIWB, it's significantly easier to conceal and draw compared to IWB at 3 or 5. I carry my shield in an incog holster and my body type is similar to yours
>135lb
>5'7"

I need to find a new belt because I have this ridiculously thick crossbreed belt I need to get rid of.
>>
>>30998738
For me the difference was part the pistol, and part the holster. I used to CC a full size jericho 941 appendix with a custom kydex, and since the pistol was longer, and since the holster rode deep into the waistband, I'd be holding my dick at gunpoint all day long. I'd have to carry at 2 o'clock because of this.

Changed to a G19 and a higher riding appendix kydex holster, and I'm right as rain. I even sat in a 2hr movie last night and it was fine the entire time.

It is a little bit like crossdraw. It doesn't feel slow or awkward to me. I like not having to clear my shirt up and across my chest, just up, you could say that's a bonus. The picture shows my holster. It is homemade but I'm sure you can find something exactly like it on the market for the Shield. The gun is a HK P2000sk and it doesn't print one bit.
>>
>>30998869

Nice EDC
>>
>>30998016

Get a non fucked up mirror first bro.
>>
I think I'll try aiwb. It's comfortable so far and I can get a fast draw and get on target fast.
Stupid question but how safe is it to carry a striker fire with one in the pipe and no safety? I've been used to da/sa up to this point
>>
>>30998929

People do it all the time with glocks and such so I'm sure it's perfectly safe. Probably comes down to personal preference; I prefer da/sa myself.
>>
Carry appendix loser.
>>
>>30998250
Maker of the holster?

>>30998016
Op, I'm 6'4 at 185 and carry a sig p320 carry, try a hybrid holster in the 430/500 position. Look up Minotaur holsters, recommend the infidel or the mtac. Personally I use the mtac, and the only issue is that since losing weight it doesn't fit against me too well cuz of old jeans.

Also, what belt you using to carry?
>>
Wear a fucking baggier shirt. Problem solved. I'm 6'5" 200lb and consider myself a skeltor but I cc a full size 1911 with a bladetech with loops at 3 30. I wear a size bigger in tall. So LT or XLT depending on brand. If you're going to wear such tight clothing look into pocket carry.
>>
>>30998984
Thick leather belt, for now. Ill be getting a gun belt after I find a holster.

>>30999012
I plan on adjusting my clothing but baggy isn't really for me. Makes my arms look even more so like toothpicks.
>>
>>30998902
Ill be sure to let management know. I'm sure they'll get right on it
>>
>>30998016
I carry a 1911. Slip it more into the 4 or 5 o,clock position. Adjust the holster to ride higher and press the grip into your back. Been carrying a 5' 1911 for almost a year in a $30 aliengear and the only time anyone noticed was my roommate when I bent down carelessly to open the oven
>>
>>30999111
Depending on how rigid and thick the belt is you could be okay. I recommend looming into hanks belts on Amazon. Comfortable, varying thickness and widths and comfy as hell.
>>
>>30999123
That far back, is it better to carry with the grip pointing towards your gun hand?

>Right handed
>Mag well facing right?
>>
>>30998929
>Stupid question but how safe is it to carry a striker fire with one in the pipe and no safety? I've been used to da/sa up to this point

Perfectly safe. DA/SA gives you an extra layer of safety and a tactile feel on if the trigger is being pulled prematurely for whatever reason. I don't carry DA/SA simply because they do not have small enough guns the size of the Glock 43 and Shield.

I feel like you just got your holster, threw it on, then immediately posted about this. It took a few days to figure out a good way to wear mine. I don't wear baggy clothes, I just adjusted and readjusted and readjusted my holster and tried a bunch of different ride options before i found a good one.
>>
>>30998114
This. I carry a PPS with an Aliengear holster and it basically disappears. Try wearing button up shirts or something a little looser. If you're really worried about printing, get a small .380 like an LCP and get a wallet holster.

I carry in this shirt a lot. 1911 has a big grip so when I stand up, I have to make sure I tuck my shirt down otherwise it gets stuck between the grip and my back. Otherwise it's good to go

Looks pretty good.
I've actually tried several today. I could hit the bass pro with a rock from where I live so I've made a few trips and tried several holsters, adjusted, tried some different shirts and went back for another. They just haven't had any that worked. Their selection is pretty shit teir, though.

>>30999319
I don't know what I expected.
>>
>>30998520
Enjoy gripping it and shooting yourself when you try to draw in a hurry. Actual holsters cover the trigger for a reason.
>>
I think I'll definitely be looking into an aiwb holster. Thanks for the help /k/

Most reputable companies will give you a refund if you don't like the holster. Old Faithful and Aliengear are two I can think of off the top of my head will give you a refund if you don't like it.

Are any of them hybrid holsters or are they all shityy nylon Uncle Miles bullvrap? Try an Alien gear. Cheap and works well. It has a lot of adjustment points.

Good to know, I'll probably order an aliengear after I get my gun back from ruger. The firing pin broke after less than 100 rounds. I probably shouldn't trust my life to it given that.

I too am an Asian skeleton. I carry my Beretta 92FS Compact in an Aliengear OWB at ~5 oclock. The gun disappears even under a tshirt. The downside is training yourself to draw from such a position and avoiding falling on your gun.
>>
>>30999602
No hybrid. Just nylon, leather and serpas, mostly. I had a galco for my Sig 2022 and I liked it a lot but the frame was just too bulky. I might try the tuck again but, for now, it's looking like crotch carry for me. I desperately want to find a good iwb, though

Yah, I got lucky. I ordered it from whatacountry for $500 when they had them in stock. The plastic buttpad thing was cracked but they included a reproduction one with the kit. The Colt scope was separate and acquired on gunbroker. Had to wait about 6-8 months for the NODAK receiver.
>>
>>30999602
I might try alien wear, as well. Based on your guy's recommendations and the internet constantly shilling them they must have some merit worth looking into.

>tfw bought a great shoulder holster but I have scoliosis so my ribcage is fucking rotated almost 30° so the grip of even small pistols sticks out.

Fuck my pretzel of a spine. I need to get /fit/ as and get some mantitty pecs to hide that shit. Until then I mostly just pocket carry my Ruger LC9s in the summer.
>>
>>30998016

You have the same body type as me and I had no problems with putting a Shield at about 4 o'clock with an Aliengear or a simple 1-clip kydex holster, even with fitted jeans.
>>
>>30998016
Holy shit op don't dress fitted or that faggot ass slim fit , dress more baggier. Either wear xl or xxl shirts and wear some baggier pants, like dickies and go 1 size up.
. G shit that mp shield will disappear.

I wear 2xl or 3xl plain t shirts and baggy dickies. I can cc my desert eagle bb gun and I swear you can't see it. But I really cc a glock 19.

Btw. 5'8 186w

Says the faggot who dresses like a literal faggot, there's nothing wrong with a xl shirt it's barely huge. For someone like op. Better holster my ass by the way op dresses it won't even hide the shield he just needs to dress "slightly" baggy and the printing will go away.

I tried one for my Shield, didn't like it as much as the standard incog.

I would have suggested YourBuddyStan as they already have prepacked Incog holsters for sale with free shipping but they don't have any P30 ones in stock.

OP, I was 5'11 and 145 when I got my CHL and holster. I carry a full sized handgun, but with a good holster you can't even tell. Aliengear IWB with a decent belt worked very well. Even with a tighter fitting shirt, you still couldn't tell.
