Sometimes it’s not about the holster, it’s how big the gun is
I’ve been more aggressive in attempting to try out various types of firearms for concealed carry and i’ve found more than a few holsters that I will be adding to my rotation. I think it’s a good idea to have more than one type of holster for each gun you have because there are situations where you can get yourself into where one method of carrying will not work very well. I have been growning tired of carrying guns IWB because I’ve hurt myself one too many times and sometimes it takes weeks for the discomfort from a bruise to go away. Rolling around on the ground with a paddle holster can be a revealing experience and you will quickly find out where all of the sharp ends on your firearms are. It’s all necessary to know what different positions feel like so you hope your body will understand discomfort under stress and you can concentrate on getting hits on target.
I find ankle carry to be very close to dressing up for Halloween. It’s not really practical but it’s fun to do every once in awhile. I find ankle carry to be a good backup method for someone that does a lot of driving. Pocket carry is nice when you don’t have to carry a lot in your pockets, but I still always prefer to carry with a Don Hume Jit holster because I really can’t feel the gun on me unless I grab it with my hands. I’ve been working my way towards smaller and smaller firearms and the Galco holsters that I am using now are all the Speed paddle holsters for a j-frame. This gun is so light already that the paddle holster barely bothers me. I’ve found the heavier the gun the less I’m going to want a paddle holster, and this is my least uncomfortable paddle carry holster.
