The Principles of Concealed Carry

What you need to know about the various types of concealed carry holsters 

and the methods for carrying concealed.


The pros and cons of every type.

Types of Holsters for Concealed Carry

Inside the waistband or IWB.

  IWB is easier to access as you can still grip the handle outside while the rest of the pistol resides inside your pants. 

Outside the waistband or OWB.

Outside the waistband, but enables easy concealment if desired or open carry if you prefer. And it carries unbelievable comfort. 

Concealed Carry Purses

Concealed Carry Purses

 The gun concealment pocket on the back side of the bag uses lockable zippers, which come with two keys for added security.

HOLSTER TERMINOLOGY

Appendix carry

Appendix carry refers to carrying your gun in front of your body, to the side of your belly button 

(near your appendix). 

Cant / Rake

The cant is the angle at which the gun sits, measured in degrees. 

Printing

Printing is the term that describes the outline a gun makes when you’re trying to carry concealed.

Retention

Retention is the level at which the holster secures the gun. 

You’ll see Levels I, II, and III. 

The higher the retention level, the harder it is to release the gun from its holster. 

(Most CCW holsters are Level 1 for quick release in an emergency.) 

Strong side

Your strong side is your dominant side. 

If you’re right-handed, your right side is your strong side. 

Support side

 Also called your weak side, your support side is the opposite of your strong side. 

If you’re right-handed, your left side is your support side.
