If you care to share, I’d like to know details on how you carry concealed. Weapon, holster, location, etc. I’m mostly interested in your likes and dislikes of each, with comfort and conceal ability being paramount. Thanks.

Crossbreed holsters were about the best I carry

Small framed Glocks in 9 or 40

I never found a .380 I could either hit anything w past 15 yards or was reliable enough

But looks like Glock may have fixed that even though I don’t own one.

Glock 48, Vedder light tuck IWB w/claw attachment, appendix or 4-5 oclock. This combo disappears very easy for me even in lightweight clothing and I am 6’2” 200lb

Glock 43, inside waistband holster (worn between belt and jeans), 4 o'clock, un-tucked shirt as cover.

When traveling with the wife, I switch to a Ruger LCRX 2" .38 (same carry method as above), because she carries a 2" LCR .38, so logistics are simpler and we have a shared familiarity with each others weapon.

Springfield XD 4" at 4pm with a crossbreed super tuck has always been my go to. I have a P238 with a super tuck that I will use in the summer if I wear shorts but that does not happen very often.

Shield 40 cal, crossbreed super tuck between 4 & 5:00.

I’ve been considering getting something smaller that I can just throw in a sticky holster in the front pocket to make it easier.

Shield 9mm, Crimson Trace Laserguard, and a Blade Tech IWB holster. Carry it about 4:00 position. It's comfortable if the holster is positioned right. If it's out of place, it's going to hurt when you sit down due to it being a hard holster. It's really a fun gun to shoot in spite of it's small size.

The laser is a trade off between battery life and readiness since the activator is depressed anytime you're holding to pistol to fire.

Carried a glock 42 .380 with XS sights, appendix carry, 7+1 and then an 8rd mag in my pocket.

Loved this setup esp in the summer.

Now all I carry is my g19 at 8 o’clock and occasionally appendix.

xdm 3.8 compact 40 in either a vedder comfort tuck, some small IWB single clip kydex (maybe bluestar?), a little kydex OWB from the same company (kinda flimsy, had to do a little work to it), or a sticky, depending on what i am doing. Also generally wear at 3 O'clock, but sometimes do appendix depending on the situation. I basically never tuck my shirt and always conceal under my shirt.

Yes sometimes IWB can be uncomfortable, but so can OWB. In many cars, especially the ones that the seats kinda wrap around you is where i have the most discomfort. So if i am doing a lot of driving, i use my small IWB kydex holster and simply take it off and on. What i have found with carrying is there is probably going to be some discomfort in some situations, but by trying a few holsters most of it can be mitigated. Also i have tried different size guns and other than an LCP that i would slip into a pocket, they have all had issues in carry-ability, but i wanted more bullets and power so i went a different direction

Appendix carry at first is pretty uncomfortable especially when bending over to pick something up. I just can’t find a holster and gun combo that will not print at any other position. I don’t know why maybe it’s the way I dress, but they all print horribly. Appendix carry I even forget I’m carrying sometimes and the gun just disappears. Also in a vehicle I tuck the seatbelt in between my body and the gun and it gives me a perfect drawing position if I need it. I know if I carried at the 4-5 o’clock position I’d have to take my seat belt off and roll my body around to get to the gun. Short of a shoulder holster appendix carry is probably the most position for drawing your weapon while driving.

It just fits me, but when I was doing research it obviously doesn’t fit everyone because there was a lot of appendix carry bashers online claiming you’re going to shoot your Pee Pee off.

For that scenario consider a cross draw holster.

My appendix carry puts the gun at 12:30 o’clock perfect drawing position for me.

I rotate out depending on what I am doing. G19 w/RMR is my fastest/most accurate handgun. Built for me by Cline Industries, it is an incredible pistol. I wear a Tier 1 appendix rig w/ spare mag. Next is P365 w/ Shield RMSc red dot. Very accurate little gun and wear with Raven appendix holster. Glock G30s also makes the rotation frequently in a Garrett Industries appendix holster. For date night with the wife, my LW Commander in a Garrett appendix holster gets the nod.
