Frequently Asked Questions

What are common mistakes people make when choosing a concealed carry holster?

Common mistakes include opting for low-quality leather holsters with weak clips, choosing uncomfortable ankle holsters, and buying from inexperienced makers. Lack of adjustability and poor finish work on holsters also lead to issues like printing and discomfort.

What makes a good appendix carry holster?

A good appendix carry holster should be form-fitting, offer adjustable retention, have multiple high-quality clips for stability, and ideally include a 'claw' to press the holster into the body. A full sweat guard is also beneficial for comfort and firearm protection.

Why is adjustability important in a concealed carry holster?

Adjustability, particularly for ride height, is crucial because it allows the user to fine-tune how the firearm sits on their body. This directly impacts concealment, as riding too high can cause the firearm to print more noticeably.

Which holster brands are recommended for quality concealed carry?

The video specifically recommends T-Rex Arms for their Sidecar appendix holster, praising its adjustability, retention, and concealment features. Tier 1 Concealment (T1C) is also mentioned as a maker of high-level holsters.
