What do you think?

Post by Dallas »

I have a Sig P250c. I bought a conceal shoulder holster that is made of cotton and velcro. The only problem is it has one strap and it seems to fall. Anyway, so far it seems the best way I carry so far is just to tuck it in my pants. What do you think?

I think you should buy a good IWB holster. Crossbreed or Comp-Tac would do the job.

Any IWB/OWB holster would be better than tucking it in your pants.

I think you should buy a good holster. IWG or OWB or shoulder is up to you but get a good holster that doesn't fall apart. :shock:

P.S. Carrying without a holster is called Plaxico carry. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31751_162-5 ... lf-in-leg/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hola,

I second the Crossbreed. Great holster and worth the money.

Well D, how to say this? Tucking it in your pants is only a good idea if there is nothing else of value in your pants. :???:

Good holster, IWB or OWB plus a good belt will do you wonders.

Are you talking about those uncle mikes shoulder hoslters?

I tried one out and trust me...if thats what you're using now....you'll love a quality holsters set up. The difference is like VHS and Blu-Ray.

Depending upon which size P250, it can be pretty hard to find a holster. I have the subcompact .40 cal and it doesn't have a rail, also the trigger guard is rounded instead of flat like the others. I found that it fits in several holsters that I have for my Glock 19/26, with a bit of stretch around the trigger guard (which does not effect the fit for the Glocks.)
It fits my Glaco Miami Classic shoulder holster just fine, and also my SkyOps IWB (which is my favorite holster for concealment). It also fits my Desantis SofTuck, and I use that a lot.

Having said that, I just got the caliber conversion kit which converts it to a compact model .45 ACP, which does have the rail. So far I haven't found a fit other than an "Old Faithful" IWB (similar to a crossbreed). I haven't recieved that holster yet, so I can't say anything about the fit, but I really don't care much for that particular design - too much leather and too many clips visible from the outside. Hopefully Galco will come up with one for the SkyOps line so I can go with that.

If you want suggestions on the "best" way to just tuck a gun into your pants, ask Plaxico Burress :eek6

:leaving

but seriously, you're on the right track - find a good IWB holster you like and go from there

BTW, is the shoulder holster a "Kangaroo Carry"? In a pinch, I've actually wrapped mine around my waist and used it almost like a Smart Carry (though with gun on strong side hip, not riding on top of the family jewels) ... not sure if this is "recommended" but worked one day when I was wearing sweatpants (and I'm NOT going to carry in sweatpants like Plaxico ... don't be a Plaxico :nono: )

Crossbreed IWB imo
