Re: Shirt Front Buttoned or Unbuttoned when Carrying at 3:30 - 4:00?

If you cannot defeat the cover garment with the hand that will unholster the handgun, then you are doing it wrong. Your support hand will be occupied.

Re: Shirt Front Buttoned or Unbuttoned when Carrying at 3:30 - 4:00?

Concealed does not mean inaccessible.

Like others have said, there is no one right way.

There is a balance between maintaining concealment and rapid accessibility without being conspicuous.

I personally prefer the open shirt method because I have the option to button if conditions require it to maintain concealment - and it also allows me to quickly and easily shift to open carry by moving the garment behind the grip and holster if pre-threat conditions justify getting ready to draw.

Keep this in mind: you will only have one hand available (one is occupied holding a phone, holding keys, holding back a family member, hand up in face of threat, engaged with threat, or protecting your head from a strike) to draw from concealment MORE OFTEN than having the luxury of two hands available to defeat the concealment garment and draw your firearm to engage a threat.

Hope this helps ... stay safe, be dangerous.
