Gonna get my Ltc. My carry weapon will be a bersa .380. I want an inside band holster, but where to position? Front is a no. Side is iffy. My thought was a LH in back. Thoughts?

I carry front— Sig 938. I can hide it no prob. For me it’s a faster and more stealth like when I pull it and in this day and age I need all the stealth I can get. Few of us on our church security team carry this way. Look at IMI Defense or Alien gear.

Gonna get my Ltc. My carry weapon will be a bersa .380. I want an inside band holster, but where to position? Front is a no. Side is iffy. My thought was a LH in back. Thoughts? 32 years....big guns....inside the wasteband right kidney behind lateral line....I'd say get a Sparks Summer Special because it's the best, but it might cost more than your pistol

I carry my glock 42 and ruger lcp front left side/cross draw for the last 3-4 yrs. used to carry small of back but draw and aim was a lot longer. the first guy shot at the church the other day had to draw from his back.

When I wear a blazer, sport coat or such, I'll wear a shoulder holster with full size 1911. Most days however, I wear a lightweight 38 revolver. OWB - position depends on what I'm wearing. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/01/full-13826-35386-taurus.jpg)

My carry is a Ruger LCR .38special revolver and holster is Sticky Holster. I wear it on my side. Just gotta make sure I snug up the waistband on any jeans, pants, shorts, athletic pants. The Sticky Holster holds very well IMO. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/01/full-6127-35387-rugerholster.jpg)

It all depends your build and weight (no pundit intended) . For example , I’m 5’9” , 230 with 38 waist . If you wear IWB you have to wear pants a size bigger to be comfortable . Not wanting to go buy new pants i choose to wear OWB , at 3 o’clock. This works perfect for me whether i wear shirt tucked in with dress coat or just wear a shirt untucked which most my shirts cover conceal easily . If you wear SOB and you fall backwards you could end up with a very sore or damaged back and i prefer not to chance that . If i wear a heavy coat most my coats have a a inside pocket big enough to hold a pocket holster comfortably and it makes it easy access . Because of a belly bulge  , criss draw is not an easy option for me . I have two CCW , a Ruger LC9s and a XDs .45ACP . Both very easy conceal and very capable to do any work i need . What ever you choose , practice regularly and consistently not just hitting the target but your draw is most important ! If you mess up your draw you could be in alot of danger ! Practice draw , aim and being precise . Most importantly you CC only to protect yourself and any family that’s with you. Just because you carry does not give you rights to protect any body at any time ! If you are involved in a shooting you better feel threatened before you act !

King Ranch tack shop has some really nice concealed carry vests. They’re very comfortable and they don’t profile.
