Thread: How many people CCW here?

I could never carry a firearm in that position,,, I don't have room for both,,,

Seriously, I am right-handed, but always holster, carry on my left side, grips forward. Getting to it while sitting, car, etc, had been an issue until doing this. Reach on over! Actually quicker for me, anyway. JMO

I know a fairly large number of folks who prefer to cross draw. It's not for me but you've got to go with what is comfortable to you.

The "in the car' thing did it for me. From impossible to possible!
Like stropping a razor, I suppose!

I wear my CCW IWB on my right hip @ 4:00 to 4:30. With my seat belt on it is too slow to get to, if I can get to it at all. My Ford Focus ZX3 has a compartment with a door like a glove compartment but made to hold compact discs. It is to the left of the steering wheel towards the bottom of the dash, quickly and easily accessible. Inside there are no CDs, just a Kahr P380 with an extended magazine.

Another way for someone without that handy compartment is to purchase an IWB holster and clip it to the drivers door pocket. This works very nicely for me.

When I first started carrying there it took a lot of getting used to and practice to get it to be comfortable. You can guess how many times I've heard, "You'll blow your b***s off!"

I had a kydex guy to actually make me a holster for my suburban, I'll have to get a pic and show it. I agree, drawing from 4-5 oclock is impossible with seat belt, so I had to find another way.

I didn't even know kydex came in sheets that big!

What you said plus less strain on the shoulder when drawing, movement feels more natural and relaxed.
