When Wearing an IWB Holster
On the outside, wearing a holster on the IWB seems simple. You can conceal your pistol by placing it between your pants and waistband. Putting your pistol in the proper position requires you to know how to position it.
Consider your waist as a clock face: your belt buckle would appear between 12 and 12 o’clock, your hips would be between 3 and 9, and your back would be around 6 o’clock. There is no right or wrong way to wear a belt-waist holster; there are simply more convenient and comfortable angles than others.
Setting Yourself Up For Success
To determine the correct position for your holstered firearm, it is first necessary to remove it from its holster. Wearing a holstered pistol while going about your ordinary daily tasks should not be a problem. Take a walk, get out of your car, sit in a variety of chairs, or bend, flex, and shift as you walk to work out your muscles.
Throughout all of this, keep an eye on the pistol against you and, if possible, ask a friend or partner to examine the pistol to make sure it is not caught in your clothing or exposed.
The pistols are often carried by carriers at the three o’clock or nine o’clock positions because they consider it to be natural, but some choose to carry them at the four or eight positions or even at the two or eleven positions. Your body type will determine the best position for you to hide and feel comfortable.
Achieving a Balance Between Concealedness and Comfort
The issue of comfort is one of the top reasons people leave their firearms at home when it comes to concealed carry holsters, as we discovered while discussing them with clients and friends. Guns that dig into your side inside the Waist Holster are more likely to stay in your safe at home. In addition to being unusable by anyone but the person who takes them, guns cannot be left at home.
The most important way to increase concealed carry comfort is to position the pistol holster properly. The best place to begin is with a thick, full-grain leather belt. If you holster your pistol with the belt, it won’t warp and dig into your side.
Wearing an undershirt is the next step. You won’t experience any skin irritation when you move while holding your pistol.
If possible, you might want to place yourself so as to be as concealed as possible. Should they be found with a firearm barehanded, the state may charge them with brandishing a firearm. It keeps others comfortable to keep a weapon hidden since they are oblivious to it.
IWB holsters provide dependable firearm carry by providing concealability on the hip. Despite this, some argue that holsters that are outside the waistband reduce the threat you pose, but also leave you more vulnerable to attacks. Some aggressors won’t hesitate to shoot you when they see your pistol holster on your outside pants, while others may try to shoot you in order to avoid worrying about your family and friends.
