Concealed Carry Methods - Alien Gear Holsters Live

This video by former CIA officer Jason Hanson demonstrates four methods for surreptitiously drawing a concealed firearm. Techniques covered include using shoulder holsters, pocket carry (emphasizing proper holsters and pants), ankle carry (best suited for drivers), and off-body carry in bags or purses. The core principle across all methods is to maintain a discreet posture while preparing for a rapid and effective draw when a threat is perceived. Hanson stresses the importance of practice with a safe and empty firearm to ensure proficiency and proper equipment function.

This video explores various concealed carry holsters, with the speaker favoring Inside the Waistband (IWB) holsters featuring neoprene-backed designs for comfort and concealment. While acknowledging the trade-offs in comfort and concealment for different holster types (IWB vs. OWB, Kydex vs. leather), the discussion highlights user preferences for brands like Alien Gear, Lobo, Galco, Bianchi, and Urban Carry. The consensus leans towards comfort and effective concealment as primary factors in selecting the 'best' holster, with individual needs and firearm types influencing the final choice.

The Yankee Marshal identifies ankle carry as the worst method of concealed firearm carry due to its extreme difficulty in access during a physical altercation and the high risk of an assailant gaining control of the weapon. While acknowledging appendix and small of back carry have risks, he argues they are manageable with responsible choices, unlike ankle carry which presents inherent vulnerabilities.

This video outlines the top five concealed carry methods favored by the instructor, emphasizing that the best method depends on factors like clothing, location, and the firearm being carried. The instructor details the pros and cons of SmartCarry holsters, pocket carry (especially for smaller firearms like the S&W M&P Bodyguard .380), inside-the-waistband (ITB) Kydex with one clip, ITB with two prongs, and outside-the-waistband (OTB) strong side carry. The instructor consistently prefers strong-side carry (3 o'clock position) for most methods, excluding the SmartCarry.

It emphasizes prioritizing safety features like complete trigger guard coverage and secure firearm retention over mere comfort. The advice extends to selecting holsters tailored to specific carry positions and integrating them with daily attire for optimal concealment and accessibility.
