For people who carry G19 size guns, IWB or OWB?

[Tripplet918]

Folks. I have a G19 sized gun I want to carry.

Inclined to buy a OWB holster for when Im wearing a jacket. I have a G19 thats on my permit, but I never carry it because IWB kinda sucks for that size gun.

What do u do?

[baih777]

Buy both.

I've carried a full size p320, so larger. Carried aiwb, wasn't all that bad with a tier 1 holster and pillow wedge

But a better IWB holster. It’s doable

What’s your build like?

I’ve done OWB with jacket during wintertime. Easy to conceal but tbh, got used to IWB with Tulster holster and DCC clip.

I carry S&W N Frames with 4 or 5 inch barrel, Glock 21, 1911 Government, etc without issue in Criterions. I am not sure why you think you cannot carry the Glock 19/23/32 IWB. It is likely the best IWB carry gun (all variables considered). The Browning Hi Power and Glock 48 are easier, but the BHP is discontinued and the 48 only holds 10 rounds. The S&W M&P 9 Compact M2.0 is the same size and capacity, but the grip texture is poor for IWB. All variables considered, including these, means the 19 still wins.

For 6+ years iwb g19

Use crossbreed single clip holsters 3-4 oklok hold, pretty easy

Buy both.

I agree - it's very likely that any class you might take with the gun will ask you to carry OWB, and you do plan on taking classes, right?

I use Vedder Light Tuck, IWB for my G19. I'm 5'10" 220 and it conceals under a 2X or 3X Tshirt, an ordinary vest, or a jacket/sport coat.

Similar situation here...same physical stats for me, and I carry a G19/SiG P228/Combat Commander but OWB as that is how I have trained and is most comfortable for me. All my carry guns are in the exact same mfg/style OWB holster (Galco Fletch) with a level one retention strap.

Try a different holster, and play with the position, belt, and clothing more. Most people should be able to conceal a G19 size pistol fairly easily. OWB holsters are usually very comfortable, just remember that if you bend down or reach your hands up to grab something the bottom of your holster can show if your jacket is too short. So make sure you experiment with realistic ranges of movement that you are likely to use in real life. If your jacket is just barely covering your gun and you reach up to grab something from high up on the shelf at the grocery store, you might have an unwanted exposure. I agree that you should own both. In my CCW classes, IWB holsters were not allowed.

I carry a G19.3 AIWB - I'm 195 lbs, 5' 8" and while its heavier than subcompact, it's comfortable enough for me with little to no print.

I switch between a Blade-tech Ultimate Klipt and a LLOD Associate V2 (dependent on if I want to carry the extra mag or not) - both are extremely comfortable but I had to big a slightly larger jeans (Origin Jeans Delta 68) to accommodate a beefier belt and the AIWB set up.

I usually carry a shield appendix but on the global day of rage (lol) last week I swapped to my g19.3. Used in a vedder light tuck light bearing and it was fairly comfortable.
