Does anyone really carry concealed this way?

[71MUSTY]

Personally I do not like the possibility of driving my firearm through my spine, in the case of a fall or violent evasive action, so I carry at 3:45/4:00 but to each his own. Perhaps other people's spines are not as dear to them.

My little mouse gun was carried that way for about one day......my issue was whenever I bent over my shirt would hang on the grip and I was always tugging it back down.

I have not carried the mouse gun in many years and when I did it was just dropped in a pocket. I could not imagine packing a larger gun back there and sitting down.

I carry inside the waistband at 4 O'clock.

An inside the belt holster in the middle of the back is the most uncomfortable and awkward way imaginable. I guarantee you that whoever carries this way does not sit down and lean back. Impossible to drive a car or sit in a restaurant, etc. Hollywood/television only/ Not the real world.

Works for me. When sitting & driving I forget its there sometimes. Drawing from that position I merely need to lean forward slightly. Comes out smoothly even with my left hand despite my holsters cant to the right. Is a much more natural motion (for me) to slide my hands back there than to hitch my entire body to the left with a 3 or 4 o'clock carry. It's just like grabbing my wallet.

looks like a great way to carry a sub compact in the center small of the back carry, if the gun is flat and not too wide

Not if you ever have to sit in any type of chair..

Thats exactly how I carry (CZ P-01) just with a slight cant to the right. Made my own custom IWB holster out of an Alien Gear shell & a leather backer w/ metal clips. Most comfortable location for me, especially in a vehicle. Fits right in the small of my back.

how do you avoid sweeping yourself without any addition wrist twisting or movement?

do you think you compromise your draw speed with that type of carry?

[HooYah]

Nobody in 2020 should be carrying like this. There are far better options available.

OP, watch the last church shooting incident where the usher was struggling to get the gun from the small of his back. not a good choice

i've watched that several times - the usher was already at an extreme disadvantage and his ability to draw was compromised but even so, i can't say a better carry location would've helped, but i get your very valid point

maybe some people never consider a situation where speed has to be a factor - me personally, i want ease of draw even if it means printing to some degree - i pretty much pocket carry the majority of the time

i've tried, for me its an uncomfortable pull which is why i don't do it - for someone not as concerned with a faster draw im guessing its a good conceal spot for many - i don't think i ever want my firearm situated with me where access becomes more difficult because im sitting down

I saw that style in Israel a lot..

How did you manage to stand up and walk with a tank like the 1006 on your back? Love those guns.

I'm a big guy!

[ACfixer]

I carry inside the waistband at 4 O'clock.

So do I , but with the grip facing the other way.

[Epaphroditus]

Well, it looks more comfortable than keistering.

[FeuerFrei]

Hollywood movies and TV action dramas du jour love the butt crack carry. Having a holster to manage chaffing I guess is an upgrade.

Never practical in the real world. You know, when there's no director to yell "CUT!" just before bad sheet is imminent.

[BigFatGuy]

I live in LA County, so it's purelyy theoretical for me, but I'm left handed, and I prefer to keep the gun grip-left, by my right kidney, angled slightly to the left.

I can't figure out how in god's name anyone would draw from behind their back with their palm towards their body... I have muscles. :-)

I also don't like to keep the gun over my spine. don't want to fall on a block of steel.

How does one re-holster back there...without flagging the heck outta yourself?
