Come on where is your sense of adventure and overwhelming desire to be exposed to stupidity?I couldn’t say, I’m either home or at work. Same people at both places still carry as always.
I really don’t like getting out in society like I used to.

For me just say no to AIWB nope nope nope..I've seen it a lot more recently especially in gas city and if its the 4th of July or ducktail you'll see a ton of people OCing in crappy holsters or in their pocket with the grip sticking out. I've educated the guys that will listen at the factory about good holsters and converted a few from uncle Mike's and bulldogs to safarilands or higher end leather holsters.
I personally don't care if I'm concealed or open sometimes I wear aiwb sometimes i owb at 3 o'clock. Usually I have a my 43 in an Als holster because I don't like a lot of weight on my waist or tension on my belt from iwb since I took a nasty tumble down the steep *** stairs at my old house. If folks see it I don't really care. JFC
Been doing it for 25 years.For me just say no to AIWB nope nope nope..
I agree, but I also fall into the gray man theory.I don't open carry because IMO, I'd be an easy target. I still cannot grasp the idea that it is a deterrent; but that's just me.
I do enjoy seeing others OC, makes me feel somewhat proud to be an American.
When I decided to start Open Carrying, I wanted to do it right. I got a buddy that always open carries at the LGS he works at, so I asked him what kind of holster he uses. It was some kind of Safariland OTB type, so I picked up the same type for myself. It works well, keeps the firearm out of the hands of the two-legged varmints and still is easy to draw from in a fast, safe manner. I love it.I've seen it a lot more recently especially in gas city and if its the 4th of July or ducktail you'll see a ton of people OCing in crappy holsters or in their pocket with the grip sticking out.

But has it passed the trial of the 5 year old girl? Appears they have a storied history of defeating open carriers.When I decided to start Open Carrying, I wanted to do it right.

Since I received my Milt Sparks for the 1911 I've been IWB CC'ing there and most other places now.
No not really I just lean forward a bit and grab while my thumb pops the snap. I practice drawing getting my pinky finger on the grip first.Milt Sparks versa carry my all time favorite! Well worth the wait time.
Just curious not dogging your holster bias but do you have to adjust your grip a lot on the draw?
Good deal, practice is the key.No not really I just lean forward a bit and grab while my thumb pops the snap. I practice drawing getting my pinky finger on the grip first.
It was slightly unnatural at first but now I don’t even think about it. If I use the other belt slot so that the pistol is more upright it prints a lot more if I try to conceal it.
Working in a firearms store, the vast majority of open carriers I notice are around 60 or so, and usually carrying a 1911 in a leather hip holster. That being said, the age demographic that I see open carrying the most after that are in their early to mid 20s. Not a lot of 30s or 40s. I don't know whyAround here there seems to be a lot more open carry among young people. Wondering if this is just a Tennessee thing or if other states are seeing it as well? Funny thing we were writing back and forth with our son, about making sure he gets his enhanced hand gun carry Permit. And taking him shopping for a Holster and a edc size side arm. And he let us know he plans on open carrying for now, which would be legal in Tennessee and the other states he would be in.
Interesting.
Yeah I never got the oh I am going into a lgs better make sure my edc is exposed.Working in a firearms store, the vast majority of open carriers I notice are around 60 or so, and usually carrying a 1911 in a leather hip holster.
