Concealed Math with Annette Evans

Duration: 12:28

Annette Evans discusses advanced firearm concealment strategies beyond simple gun size. She introduces the concept of 'concealment percentage' by comparing firearm height to hip bone width, suggesting a 30-40% ratio for easier concealment. Evans also emphasizes that gun shape, grip dimensions, and how they interact with individual body contours (peaks and valleys) are crucial for minimizing printing and maximizing comfort, moving beyond the 'smaller is better' mantra.

Quick Summary

Firearm concealment involves more than just gun size. Annette Evans introduces the 'concealment percentage' (firearm height vs. hip bone width, aiming for 30-40%) and emphasizes how gun shape, grip contours, and thickness relative to body mass significantly impact how well a firearm can be hidden.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'concealment percentage' for firearms?

The concealment percentage compares a firearm's height (grip base to slide top) to the distance between your hip bones. A ratio around 30-40% generally indicates a firearm that is easier to conceal comfortably on the body.

How does the shape of a gun affect its concealability?

The shape of a gun, particularly its grip and slide contours, is crucial. Rounded edges and angled features can better conform to your body's natural 'peaks and valleys,' reducing printing compared to blocky, sharp designs.

What is 'gundick' in concealed carry?

Gundick refers to the visible printing or protrusion of a firearm from the waistband, especially below the beltline. A gun's length relative to your torso's natural curve can contribute to or mitigate this issue.

Why is gun thickness important for concealment?

A firearm's thickness relative to your own body's thickness from front to back is a key concealment factor. A gun that is disproportionately thick can create a noticeable bulge, making it harder to hide effectively.
