As a patrol officer I carried a Safariland Velcro glove pouch with two sets of rubber gloves folded very flat in the small of my back. I called it my spine pillow lol
Many years ago I sometimes carried in SOB. I found that it was very comfortable, for me, especially when driving. The problem I found out was, like you said, it was more difficult to draw from concealment as well as slower. After I abandoned this carry method, I learned about the possibility of injury. Fortunately I didn’t have to find out the hard way. Thanks James.
A lot of my fellow officers are carrying drop leg. I’m not a fan. It’s a longer distance to draw your weapon. And most of us aren’t trained for weapon retention in that configuration. And it’s awkward as crap if you’re chasing someone or running. Tactical units only use them because they have large body armor that would interfere with belt holsters. And their primary is usually a long gun, so long draw really isn’t an issue to them.
Drop leg is too low for my preference. Wearing armor can make it worse. I've found a mid drop puts it below to clear ny armor but not too low where i have to reach. I use a g code rti mid drop and duty holster
@@gp9616 maybe you're short and stumpy? Haha. I need a fairly low drop leg setup to comfortably draw without having to 90° my elbow. Long arms love drop legs lol.
I used one for 4 years in the early 2000s...and again in about 2013 and 2014... but this was in an armored car application, not law enforcement. I can honestly say it made more sense there than it would for a LEO, as we worked "grip acquired" as a matter of company policy. MOST drop leg holsters are worn too low. They should really only be maybe 8" lower than a normal jacket slot holster. If your arm is straight when grip acquired, you're doing it wrong.
funny, when i started out i used to carry that way, and found it very uncomfortable, so i stopped... glad i did, i never thought of the injury aspect of it. almost all my kit has nothing there. now, i have better reasons why to keep it slik. thanks james
@@blacklabelholsters1635 most of the guys running sob are the same guys buying the crappy holsters from bass pro and academy. unfortunately people just don't know and don't listen.
Pffft, I fell shoveling snow with my G2 at 4-o'clock, but hurt my lower back landing on a walnut-size rock under the snow. If it had been anything larger, like my G2, a serious injury would definitely have occurred. I've never understood some folk's affinity for the SOB position. These are all valid points to consider when choosing that carry position.
We've probably all seen that Texas Church shooting video. The second guy that was shot by the gunman was fumbling his pistol which was SOB. He didn't make it. I got to convince one of my friends to at least switch to 4 o clock by telling him "you're gonna die carrying like that" and showing him the video.
As a lefty I carry in-between the 8 and 9 o'clock position. My Brous MF-CEO/Colonel Blades LowVZ at my 2 o'clock. I carry my CAT7 in soft loop carry pouch in-between 10 and 11 o'clock. My back up mag is carried closer to my 3 but in-between my 3 and 4. I carry a Micro Trauma kit on the small of my back around my 5 and 6.
Having 35 years as a law enforcement officer, I concur 100% I tried that sob method with a 1911A1 when I was stationed at Fort Polk and was the Provost Marshals driver. Now my belly gets in the way for appendix carry so I generally carry strong side 3-4 o’clock.
Interesting. I always knew it was a bad place to carry a gun but we see it in movies so some think it’s cool but it’s not. I didn’t know about the injury aspect. Scary. Another bad reason could be if you’re attacked, go down and end up on your back and the attacker is on top of you no way to get to your gun then. Good video.
Thanks James! I have a shoulder and back injuries, so I never considered carrying in SoB. Plus the last church shooting the good guy looked like he was carrying SoB and his draw was over 3 secs.
I used to carry SOB for easy concealment. I have switched to a 3-4 ish position as I found getting the firearm into action is quicker. Not a fan of appendix carry because I have a bit of dad bod going on which makes concealing the firearm a bit challenging. I also believe 3-4 is a bit of a better place than appendix in close quarters because you can blade your body to keep an attacker at bay while drawing the firearm. To each their own. I say carry the way that you feel comfortable with and train with.
Thank You James... New CCW'ers I encounter will benefit from your video! . . My Preference is a shoulder rig... better access while driving, can use a toilet without issues... and harder for unseen persons to access the gun.... . . I am sure you are aware of these features.. maybe some of your subscribers aren't?
I'm new to carrying, got my CHL last year when I hit 21. But I never knew of the risk of spinal injury with SOB carry. I saw a guy once who had a Ruger lcp in SOB position and his shirt got caught between his holster and back, revealing his pistol to everyone around. I've done appendix carry for about four months, I tried carrying on my hip but kept bumping into shit. Great video though brother.
Some people frown on pocket carry. But I noticed my propensity to carry increased from about 80 percent of the time to 99% of the time when I switched from inside the waistband and shoulder holster to pocket carry.
Agreed. Everything you said dawns on you once you try sob and what if your at a urinal and someone noticed you printing. They can just take it lol. I shoot with a lot of guys from work and they always ask about my NSR Yeager appendix holster, thanks for that video going way back. Best holster ever. I use NSR for appendix carry with my plastic guns and green force for OWB if I’m in the woods I’ll take a full size SA DA.
Same goes for carpenters that carry their hammer back there in the center of their tool belt. If they fall backwards, the handle swings out and the hammer becomes a spike and can paralyze a person falling on it
Many tend to dislike small of back carry method. I actually like it and have used it for years with a Glock 26. The holster is shifted to five o'clock position.
As many noobs to carry do, I eschewed “expert advice”, bought a SOB holster and carried that way for just over an hour. One ride in the truck and that holster went to the box. Wasted money and a quick lesson learned, listen to the old hats, they got that way for a reason.
Thanks James, I've never carried that way as I've seen the ways on here that you recommend that we carry, but never thought of this. Great information. As always, I appreciate it much.
I used to carry like this, then one day several years ago I was dragging a deer into my barn and lost footing causing me to fall on my back. Felt amazing! So now I carry appendix. So yes the possibility of falling on your back outside of combat is high when working outdoors.
Many many years ago before I started watching these videos and really getting Into doing research I used to Mexican Carry SOB. All the issues Mr. Yeager stated are 100% accurate. Thanks for the Info, always. Life Saver
Well you're probably right but that's the only way I can comfortably carry. if it's not comfortable I can't carry and I'm going to carry. I'm about 5 9 at 250 lb pushing 50 years old with a low hernia at about 130 needless to say carrying anywhere around that position is a no-go. 3 stands out like a sore thumb. Maybe I can go with a different pistol butt if it's not at least medium-sized and have a decent capacity I don't know about controlling it in a stressful situation. My holster is leather with a trigger guard lock. Until I find something else that's it I don't like it because of not being able to protect it just don't know what else to do.
@@delta3two yeah I'm staying in shape is a problem. truck driver work 65 hours a week on the job and then come home and try to juggle shit on the farm. Even if I put it on my left side say at 11 it still puts pressure on the hernia. Talk to a doctor about it he told me to just live with it which is what I've been trying to do for about 12 years or so. But anyhow thanks for the advice.

Great points. I would also add the gun wouldn't be accessable when you need it most or like someone is on top of you punching your face in or stabbing you like a fucking sewing machine.
James, I'm in a job where I would lose my job on the spot if I were found to be carrying. I often work in shady dangerous neighborhoods, in homes, under homes and up ladders but would like to have my firearm. What kind of carry would you recommend?
I'm in a similar situation, and before this I used to do construction work. I'd recommend you look into something like a belly band, smart carry, 3 speed holster, Phlster co. enigma, or a standard appendix carry holster if you can pull it off. Anywhere other than the general appendix area will stick out like a boner at the beach when you're climbing, bent over, crawling, etc.
I am a refrigeration technican in and out of national retailers everyday. I appendix carry into every store. I do weer longer uniform shirts so it won't be revealed when stretching etc
@@dougmortimer6445 I wonder if an ankle holster would work behind the wheel... would it be better to go small 22 in my pocket just, just wondering what some other folks have had success with. Thanks for your input
I've known about the risks of SOB carry for years. If it has any sort of popularity, it might be due to Hollywood. The characters on NCIS New Orleans ( and other shows) are fond of SOB carry. I can't imagine why.
I can...so that most of the time when they're facing the camera, the actors don't have to wear a holster at all. They only give them the props during action scenes, so the only way to explain it's absence in the previous scenes is to put it behind them...
don't forget ankle holsters.....have seen 4 officers in over 25 years on the job lose their backups in foot pursuits or rollin' around with perps....1 of those weapons was never recovered.....at least not by us.
Actually, other than agreeing on most of what you said, slowest draw is ankle carry. I like ankle carry for work because it never prints, but only for work.
What do you think about a small med kit you’ll see guys run on battle belts or something similar. I understand the same logic applies as to potential injuries. Just curious your thoughts on running something like that. As always thank you for the advice, it’s greatly appreciated.
Im curious, cause I just put together my first duty belt, and my IFAK is at the 6 o'clock in small of back, it sticks a bit. and I have no other place to where to put it. It's soft, but not like pillow soft. I don't know, is it a bad idea?
Try an ankle IFAK. I carry one and it works great. Besides, if you need it for yourself you’re probably on your butt and if you need it for a fellow officer you’re probably kneeling. I got the cheapest one on Amazon and then put my own supplies in it.
I originally had my kit there as well. Then I started working vehicles. No go. I have an ankle kit for the range and edc. When I have full gear I use an abdominal drop pouch to keep a a low profile for ny kit and everything is easily accessible to boot.
Man, I couldn't do a pocket carry; I don't even like to carry change in my pockets. Even as small as my EDC is, a DB9, I could not comfortably carry it in a pocket. Bulging pockets always cringe me.
I like how there's 33 people who don't like this video. Like they disagree or have valid arguments why carrying in the small of your back can be a good thing. I carried there for awhile until I learned about and started training appendix carry. Never looked back.
One time I fell from about 4 ft high out a trailer and on my back and I had my multitool on the lower right of my back. That spot hurt like a bitch for a few weeks. I never carried my multitool there ever again 😂
You have explained this in a very old video but that just shows how long I’ve watched your channel(s) Mr Yeager.😉 Thanks for the solid advice you give here on RUclips!
I'm a carpenter, and the preferred way to carry a hammer in my profession is small of the back, and I don't fucking get it at all. It will break your back if fall of a ladder, and the draw sucks.
I never carry anything that would cover up my Tramp Stamp!

Me too. Still do.
I have never carried SOB, sometimes I've BEEN an SOB, but that's another matter. And did you notice James was teasing us with the can of .50 BMG ammo.
I got the same advice back in the 80's against SOB carry. I used that spot on the duty belt for a leather pouch with rubber gloves or a soft cpr mask.

I'm a carpenter, and the preferred way to carry a hammer in my profession is small of the back, and I don't fucking get it at all. It will break your back if fall of a ladder, and the draw sucks.
I am on a binge watching your content. such a a wealth of information, Icant get enough! I am a new handgun owner

This is only a nibble compared to his Fighting Pistol lecture.
Resident evil disagrees.
Would a med kit be ok to carry on the small of the back? Would that be “soft” enough?
As someone who has done a lot of training, getting in and out if vehicles with a back mounted medkit isn't fun.
