Hi all, this is my first official post. Glad I am able to access this site and join in
I recently started CC -- taking my class in January and getting my permit sometime in February. This past Christmas I received a Remora sticky holster and figured I would use this as a backup or just whenever I thought of it, as I planned to get a better holster -- most likely one with clips and such.
After a good bit of reading online sites and especially checking out some videos, I figured the aliengear 3.0 cloaktuck was the way to go. I ordered it on Presidents Day, Feb 15 and it arrived that Thursday Feb 18 (major points for speed -- I even added the J Clips).
I should mention I carry a S&W M&P 40c. That Saturday I actually attended the Bill Goodman Gun show at the fairgrounds here with my son, then headed to the mall and a few other places. I tried out the AG at my 430 and felt like every eye was on me, particulary as I sat to eat, since the grip was sticking out so bad. I realize most people probably don't even pay attention but I hate the thought of printing at all.
So the Remora holster (which has no clip btw), has been my primary go-to. I love being able to keep it in the console and grab-n-go whenever convenient. Last night I even had it in my gym shorts (appendix carry) and didnt have a problem.
I really wanted to love the AG holster and have decided to keep it as I may return to it someday. I honestly don't see how this style holster could be for me though. I also don't want to spend a fortune on holsters I will never use. One thing that really stuck out was how, at the 4:30, when I walk my 'cheek' (sorry) would cause the holster to move up and down some. I think adjusting the clips later that night helped, but I mean Really??? Does this happen with all holsters of this style?
Still figuring out all this CC stuff but I appreciate your feedback and thoughts.
Thanks in advance...
