    I'm glad you clarified how to measure INSIDE your hips. I must have missed it when I first heard Tessa talk about this. I was measuring from the outside of my hips initially. I'm now realizing that my G19 grip is really big for me to try to conceal. It has been discouraging, but this makes me feel a little better. I thought there was something I was missing.

    Honestly I've just been running a G29 appendix IWB with a $15 trigger guard that I loop to my belt with paracord for the last year. Pressure from the (leather) belt holds the gun in place. Not ideal but the width of the gun is all I have to account for, as opposed to the gun + a holster. Having a belt from Wrangler and not some dress belt with a swivel on the buckle helped.

    PDP 4.5” Steel Frame has been my go to. Only way I’m able to effectively carry it is with an enigma and that’s with athletic shorts and a t shirt. I found since the grip is longer relative to my hip width that 11:30 is the sweet spot to get optimal grip rotation. Once I got everything dialed in I hardly notice I have a 40oz gun in my waistband.

    So a shield plus with an optic and pinky extension is 5.5 inches. “Hard” for anyone with less than 10 inches of hip bone distance (I’m right at 10). That… doesn’t feel right. This gun is quite easy to conceal. I feel like whether you have a “hard” gun because of an optic or a long grip is at least somewhat meaningful.

      @PHLster  Месяц назад

      There are, of course, additional factors at play.
      Body shape comes into play, your tolerance for discomfort, how you’re dressed, and your definition of “concealed.”
      We’ve based this on having seen tens of thousands of customer photos in our group and our support inbox, and we’ve found these measurements to be statistically significant predictors of what kinds of additional accommodations and sacrifices most people will need to make in order to *comfortably and invisibly* carry pistols of certain relative sizes to their bodies.

    I assume that one conceals a gun so that it is available at any moment of time maybe for years why to select a giant gun for this purpose in the first place? Maybe IT is better to always have a baby browning or a PPK or even a derenger rather than from time to time a 1911 or a desert eagle? Of course as the author smartly noticed it depends on your body size.

      It's a trade-off between ease of concealment and ease of shooting/firepower, and everyone has a different opinion on how much comfort they're willing to sacrifice vs how many rounds they want to have or if they want a red dot or a light or what have you. I fully agree with your main idea that smaller guns are more likely to actually be carried every day.

      @@bugnut4432 this is a dangerous trade-off because it leads to the situation when one day one decides to not sacrifice so much and it is exactly this day when one needed this gun. Let be fair not every person will ever have a case to use one. If one has a gun and able to deploy it in this rare situation he/she has won 90%. On the other hand a bit more fire power and you left it home because it looks weired with this pants. It is like wear too eng but beautiful shoes.

      All else being equal, bigger guns are easier to shoot. There’s more to hold onto, the perceived recoil will generally be slightly less, and if you’re using iron sights you’ll have a longer sight radius which means more accuracy. All of these are good things to have in self-defense situations. I assure you that those of us that are actually CONCEALING larger pistols aren’t doing it to be a “cowboy”, in fact you will probably never know it’s there because my holsters do a great job of concealing and my demeanor would never lead you to believe that I was armed.
