So are the issues real like is the gun really going off if the spring in the trigger breaks and you shake the gun. do I have to worry about this thing shooting me in the balls :( or that it might blow my hand off or my leg at the range I really like this gun super comfortable to shoot was a contender for a carry gun but now I’m having a bit of buyers remorse after watching more videos is it truly safe loaded in a holster or when out at the range shooting got destroyed in the Sig subreddit for asking this

What kind of carry methods will work best if im fat? Are there any resources that I can look into? Yes I've started working out.

I remember many years ago there were advertisements for this one conceal carry holster. It was basically a pouch that would sandwich your firearm and it would sit inside the waistband. There was a little flap that you would pull straight up on and it would come out. Their main shtick was that it would even work while sitting down then they had versions that would automatically turn off comparable accessories. Does anyone remember this/ have reviews for this?

I'm looking to get into my first CCW/ home defense weapon and went to a local store just to look at some options. I really liked both of these but couldn't distinguish the difference enough to make a final decision. I am a taller guy with a little bit bigger hands and felt like the RXM was more comfortable, but had a thicker profile. the Shield EZ was slightly too small in my hand, but I liked the thinner profile and figured i could just get a extended mag. Looking for any recommendations or thoughts on either pistol.

I’m new to firearms in general and was recommended the hellcat by a few people, it comes with a sight, 17 round mags and a light rail. Being new I have no clue where to begin with the holsters

Im usually driving so it would be helpful but I cant find one anywhere for a 5” 1911

So I'm new to concealed carry. I've got a few handguns and I usually carry owb, but I decided to get an iwb holster for my full size. I ordered from ANR holsters, and admittedly they say to give them 6-8 weeks for a custom kydex iwb.. I'm entering the 8th week. And I just think 8 weeks is crazy for molded plastic. All that being said, are there any recommended manufacturers that aren't going to take 2 months for future purchases?

Like the title says. I'm looking to buy a 5.7 OR Raptor but i also need an AIWB/IWB and OWB holsters. The market seems slim and I'm looking for suggestions on available holsters.

I've been looking through holster manufacturers and don't see a ton putting out a holster for the new Prime Radian, though there's quite a few made for the original Prime that supposedly don't quite fit the compensator properly if you stuff a Radian into it.

I prefer strong side IWB over appendix, and prefer a hybrid with leather inside for all day comfort. I liked the design of the Gradient Hybrid and Protos-M from Black Arch, but they can't do that pistol, and don't take custom orders.

Ideally, I'd like a holster that accepts a TLR-7 X HL SUB, but at this point, I'll take what I can get, even without supporting a small light. It would also be nice to order a matching double mag carrier, and OWB is fine for that.

Suggestions would be appreciated!

My EDC is a Springfield Hellcat pro that I’ve just been rocking iron sites on. I want to throw an optic on there, and am debating between these 2. It’ll be my first optic purchase for a pistol and am open to other recommendations as well

So I got my concealed carry license back in May. I had some money saved for a gun, but unfortunately we hit a rough stretch in our finances, so we had to use that money to get through. We haven’t fully recovered yet but we’re getting there. I’m wondering if buying used is a viable option for my first? Thoughts? Is this okay? Is it legal as long as I fill out the proper paperwork?

An old buddy of mine had a fanny pack that he used to cc but his he would draw his g43x from the bottom and I haven’t been able to find any fanny pack where you draw from the bottom of anyone knows where to find stuff like this pls lmk

For those who have experience carrying or just shooting both, which do you prefer and why?

This is for a carry gun. I am limited to 10 rounds (sigh ... Washington).

Reliability, ergonomics, fit / finish, accuracy, etc. I'm interested in any of your thoughts.

Thanks.

So I have my CWL in Florida (yes I know I don’t need it, had it before the law made it legal for everyone to conceal carry) and my daily carry has been a Glock 19, well I recently lost some weight and I bought some new pants and such to match the weight loss and the Glock 19 is just to big, I usually Appendix carry but when I was wearing size 36-38 I had extra room, now that I’m wearing 34’s I have less room even though I have less body mass, idk how that makes sense.

Anyways, I’m thinking about trading/selling my Glock to either a local store or Guns.com (they offered me $410 for the gun, all accessories + case) I’m thinking about taking it and getting the Hellcat, it’s a smaller 9mm, I’m a bigger guy, 6’4 about 230lbs so I know it’ll be smaller to me but my buddy has one and he really likes the gun and I’ve heard nothing but great reviews. They have a package deal rn, gun + sight + 5 mags and a carry case for $529.

Would it be a good gun for someone like me or should I pay more and get like a Glock 43x or some type of Smith and Wesson? Also for forgot to mention that Guns.com is offering that bundle for $529 and a free silencer if I order before a certain date so I’m leaning towards that

It’s nice when a small company makes your business with them feel welcomed and appreciated. This stuff feels nice. Looking forward to seeing how it does on my 43x. They even threw in 2 extra stickers, with the 2 that I purchased and put a hand written “thanks!”

What are you folks using for the bodyguard? Pocket carry or IWB? I've seen some pocket holsters recommendations but the IWB recommendations are sparse.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the responses. I think I'm going to give the Desantis Slim Tuk a try.

I'm assuming that the Glock 42 is a more robust handgun than the Bodyguard 2 with respect to handling +P ammo.

1. Do you agree?

2. Does Glock warn against using +P in the G42? I'm seeing conflicting information on this.

(I want to be able to use hard cast Buffalo Bore +P or Underwood +P for self-defense.)

Thanks. :)

Picked up a Ruger max 9 from Dunham sporting goods for $229 to edc. Any/all IWB holster recommendations will be taken; I primarily wear athletic-type clothing.
