Not here it doesn't. Open carry with virtually any holster means less that a second to draw and fire. Just take a look at IPSC or IDPA competitions. Or go to Gunsite or one of the dozens of other schools. Last Edited by s. d. butler on 09/08/2017 10:58 PM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73404309 United States 09/08/2017 11:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to bearingarms.com (secure)] Quoting: s. d. butler So I see these movies and TV shows where people stick their sidearms in their belt, usually behind their back. Sidearms with only a trigger safety like the Glock. Every time I've tried that for experimentation it always turns out to be a bad idea. The appendix position works okay, sort of, with a trigger cover for the Glock but all in all unless you have to ditch the weapon it's a very bad idea. For single action Mexican carry is a bad idea too. Basically the only people who carry this way are idiots or criminals. Although some slack might be cut in some cases, I know a guy who carries a Ruger LCP in his shirt pocket. Unfortunately, one Missouri gun owner never got the memo – or he did and just chose to ignore it. The man was shopping at a University City grocery store with a loaded firearm tucked into the waistband of his jeans, sans holster. Since a waistband provides little to no support and fails to keep your weapon properly oriented, the handgun quickly began to slip down the man’s pants. In his attempt to keep the gun from falling to the floor – and with nothing protecting the trigger – the man accidentally discharged a single round…and shot himself right in the leg. Only in Hollywood will you see people running with full size pistols jammed in their belts. Doesn't work too well in real life. I recommend a fobus holster.sits high up on a decently snug belt. Easily concealable,accessible and comfortable. |

I practice appendix carry drills where my trigger finger is always off the guard by an inch and then pull up and push out applying my finger to the guard during the draw . Ofcourse make sure its unloaded first . Practice that until its second nature to have youre trigger finger away from the guard applying it as you complete the draw . I carry condition 0 glock appendix . No worries. |

There are so many different styles, fitments, and locations options, at all different prices, there is just no excuse not to use a holster. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

I carry a snub nosed 1860 with a thunder grip and .45 colt conversion cylinder almost every day... I practice with a single handed draw as well as two handed.. Mostly I use the "off" hand, in two handed, to cock the weapon... I dont play dress up and all of my sidearms are every day "working guns". |

What is a thunder grip? Why would you use this as your carry pistol? |
