Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best clothing choices for concealed carry?

For effective concealed carry, opt for loose-fitting clothing like overshirts, flannels, or baggy t-shirts. Darker, flatter colors are preferable to bright or shiny ones, as they help mask the firearm's outline. Busy patterns like plaid can also aid concealment by breaking up the visual lines.

How should you draw a concealed firearm from appendix carry?

When drawing from appendix carry, it's recommended to grab your beltline and lift your shirt upwards. Initially, your thumb may ride the top sight and your finger along the belt. Transition to a full fighting grip as the pistol rotates out of the holster.

Why is a stiff belt important for concealed carry?

A stiff, supportive belt is crucial for concealed carry because it provides a stable platform to hold your holster and firearm. Flimsy belts that twist and bend cannot adequately support the weight, leading to discomfort and potential concealment issues.

When should you pull the trigger during a concealed carry presentation?

The trigger should be pulled at full extension of your arms. This ensures that your front sight is on target and provides a stable platform for the shot, maximizing practical accuracy in a self-defense scenario.
