I highly respect your knowledge, skills, and abilities to include your presentations and expressions to the education of the use of a firearm with instruction and safety information without pushing manufacturers' gear and staying on point to what matters. I am so glad I came across these posts.
I just got my coffee. It is the best coffee I've had in forever!!! So all who are watching--pick some up!!! Everything was excellent. As usual. I've been watching your tutorials for a few years, and it's helped me develop (alongside some of the best local instructors) into a pretty proficient shooter. Next is speed.
I prefer AIWB for quite a few reasons, but I actually carry a relatively small gun (P365XL). It's been a really nice solution for me, but I always recommend people do their research before choosing to carry appendix or strong side. Only type of carry I will argue against is small of back.
I love that you mentioned physical training. Too many gun owners think thats all they need. And Stop the bleed saves more lives than your gun will. Train and carry every where you can.
Watching your videos is like being in the class, well done.... recently subscribed and as ex LOE I've recently applied for my personal Sec 13 private defense license for a G19 gen 3... that's in South Africa 🇿🇦... your videos are really brilliant..thank you ..👌🏾
Can't agree with any comment more than this one. Outstanding is an understatement. For a RUclips video to be this effective, it's beyond phenomenal. I'm hoping to attend in-person training soon, but these videos have definitely upped the training bar for the in-person instructors. I've recommended the channel (and now the coffee) to a lot of people, including my own students. They all go home with the channel name and a list of beginning videos to get them started.
I'm not sure what year people got the great idea of jamming a loaded firearm into their pants but I'm sure it was some tactard in the 90s. We never considered it but as far as cover garments go. Just tuck your t-shirt in your pants so it doesn't rub on your skin. Just buy lightweight cotton shirts 1 size larger than you usually wear (if you need it.) Plaid, Hawaiian dark colors will help with printing.
This is where I am at. Im a new 2A participator (December 2023) I made my first purchase. Took the ccw class in February 2024. Awaiting my "permission slip" now. While im waiting, im trying to find out what works best for me. I think I like 3 o'clock OWB. But it sure seems AIWB is all the rage . It worries me lol..... thanks for the informative video. Just sub'd and will work my way through all your older vids. I really like how you do things, more practical than most, it seems.
I'm just a regular guy, no military or law enforcement service but I do have quite a few friends and acquaintances that are current or previous law enforcement and they all tell me that when they're off duty they carry strong side owb covered. It's the most comfortable and easily accessible for them. I'm in the process of getting me a Glock 19 and I'm going to keep it stock.
I notice you do something few talk about - putting the strong hand thumb on the slide or external hammer while putting the gun back in the holster - safety.
Mickey, please run some drills with the same OWB strong side, but with a buttoned up shirt and also with a zipped up jacket. I think this will be the reality for those of us that live in a non-open carry state. It would be very hard to ccw with a open shirt or jacket, no matter iwb or owb. Thank u!
Totally agree. The unfortunate reality is, I don't have anywhere to train from a holster with live rounds. I do train with dry fire. I plan to use a 945 carry bag the majority of the time, flexible for any weather, comfortable while sitting/ driving and can be worn external over whatever clothing you have on. For me, it's faster than trying to move a lot of clothes out of the way.
I like the way you present the training in real world training for the Regular guy like me .Only Service I was in was doing Firefighting things Have had CCW since I lived in NYSS now escaped to the South in SC in 05 . Thank you for taking time .Will you ever do traing at the SawMill here in Waterloo SC ? Let me know I try save money for class trying to recover from wife passing with cancer along with bank account can't afford that much on ammo or professional Traing I use my own range on my mini farm with your help .
Thx mic. The holster,owb all the way. I use them a lot,but have multiple different holsters for guns. That’s a must. You know the deal. The leather hooded jacket. Could you say where you got that again please. I ve tried them all, but a biker jacket I bought 3 decades ago in unbeatable in nearly all situations. That style would be a nice one to have. The Some of synthetic ones sound weird and most make you clammy feeling. Was noticing the owb on your p365xl. That is what im needing. Asked. You nay have answered. Runner. Gotta save this video & go r now. Thx.
Ok. Thank you. Probably find something similar. Animal hide with some mink oil is hard to beat surf fishing in cold weather with salt water hitting your front & wind sandblasting your back. That’s all I know. Thx .
One last thing,im doing nearly the same thing you do with gear. Definitely not chasing anymore gear.have everything in the same spot every day and it is simple. Reach for the wallet at the store,nothing is in the way,not flashing my stuff at every body around me. Did recently wet form a little leather pocket thing that holds a pen,small stream light ,smaller pocket knife (that’s actually legal blade length by a “scoch “.under 3” but same model.Just called the mini.the other one was a 1/2 too big technically…so,good to gonow.)skoch,scoch sp?something like that…i thinks the word you use.and dup drivers license ,ccw,hunt /fish ,insurance,registration,proof of insurance,debit & a 50spot .all spares.stay in there just in case .have the driving stuff in triplicate. I figured having the 3 you get asked for, IF you are stopped ,above the visor in the truck & 10-2ing hands/not moving around ,can’t hurt. Make every body a little more comfortable .not out late much but the cpl times I’ve used it,trooper seemed to appreciate it. Boom bing bang out of there. Not being a dick..have a chair under my tail,gonna get my arce off it & & use it to pump 10-15 pushups out r now before getting back to it. Thx again for your time,sharing ect. Last last thing .heard a dude described heaven as being your favorite place on earth but better,if it’s a particular stretch of beach with your favorite dog from when you were 5 ,that’s what itll be,start thinking about your favorite uncle in the mountains,look over your shoulder and its right there ect. That’s what I m going with. Just stuck with me ..borrow it if you like. Enjoy the day/weather!
Mickey love your videos Have learned a ton watching My question is how to best train draw if I live in a state that doesn’t allow draw firing at our ranges Love Hawaii but terrible for 2nd amendment guys
I'm sorry if I missed it, but what holster are you using? If it's for a Glock 48, I'm sure they make one for the Glock 45 (which is pretty much a G17 with the smaller slide). Again, sorry if i missed it. Good info too, you're always straight forward. Also, i know this may sound like an obvious answer to this question, and I'm sure it may vary state to state, but if you're carrying owb and just have an unbuttoned shirt or unzipped jacket covering it, that's still considered by most as concealed carrying, correct?
I have to change weapon carry methods due to me going through states that don't permit open carry. I live on the border of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia. I have concealed for Pennsylvania and Maryland, and my carry weapon is a Springfield xd40. Any thoughts for holstering that serve both? I frequently go through all three states. Thank you very much for your videos, looking forward to response.
Question on safety. When I store my guns in safe. Should I lock slides to rear and cal it good or can I put in those barrel flags. My only conver is will it hurt gun to have slide not full closed or open but stuck open about an inch for barrel flag.
I prefer to store mine with the guns "resting" Slide/bolts forward, hammers down. Everything is checked and cleared going in. Everything is checked and cleared coming out.
Sorry to ask a question you’ve probably answered a thousand times but do you use aftermarket mags in your 48? Like the shield arms mags for instance? Thanks
I have tried many makers. The Glock 10 round mags are what you'd expect, very reliable. I have all the generations of the Shield Arm mags. I have had mixed luck. The bad ones get tossed into training bucket, never to be carried. As with any carry gun, I find a few mags that work as close to perfect as can be and I mark them to designate carry use instead of beating them up training.
I highly respect your knowledge, skills, and abilities to include your presentations and expressions to the education of the use of a firearm with instruction and safety information without pushing manufacturers' gear and staying on point to what matters. I am so glad I came across these posts.

Great video. Just went through the training you had in this video. Watch you all the time . I learned something always.
Thank you for such a good video ! I Highly respect your way of sharing your knowledge on the proper use of fire arms
My pleasure. Thanks bro

Proficiency is of utmost importance! 🤴🏻
Speed comes naturally with more & more practice...
Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
@calista1280 I think it can. We can get really good at doing the wrong things.
Be careful of what you train and how you train it.
I prefer AIWB for quite a few reasons, but I actually carry a relatively small gun (P365XL). It's been a really nice solution for me, but I always recommend people do their research before choosing to carry appendix or strong side.

They all have merits

I started carrying owb a few months ago. I love it! My only issue is learning how to dress around it.
I'm not sure what year people got the great idea of jamming a loaded firearm into their pants but I'm sure it was some tactard in the 90s. We never considered it but as far as cover garments go.

You nailed it boss
Love the Borat reference 🤣. Great video!
I'm just a regular guy, no military or law enforcement service but I do have quite a few friends and acquaintances that are current or previous law enforcement and they all tell me that when they're off duty they carry strong side owb covered. It's the most comfortable and easily accessible for them. I'm in the process of getting me a Glock 19 and I'm going to keep it stock.
I know plenty of coppers and high level special operations guys who all carry AIWB
I think it's a personal choice.
I’d like to see a video on doing the same drills with the rain jacket zipped, owb concealed in the same manner!
The premise of this video is an OPEN garment, hence what you see here.
Audio excellent!
I notice you do something few talk about - putting the strong hand thumb on the slide or external hammer while putting the gun back in the holster - safety.
Old school
@@CarryTrainer I enjoy your videos. Well done.

The thing is, you gotta go train it, not watch me. What's your daily carry set up look like? Clothing, belt and all.
Totally agree. The unfortunate reality is, I don't have anywhere to train from a holster with live rounds. I do train with dry fire. I plan to use a 945 carry bag the majority of the time, flexible for any weather, comfortable while sitting/ driving and can be worn external over whatever clothing you have on.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
You’re like the Steve Magnante of concealed carry
I'll have to check him out
@@CarryTrainer Steve Magnante can tell you year, make, and model of any classic car, ever made, while blindfolded.
IWB is only convenient if you're carrying a micro compact like a Sig P365X. Otherwise, OWB or off body carry in a sling or backpack.
Perhaps
Off body carry sucks. It’s like putting on your seatbelt after a crash.
@stevepauley2437 it may not be the best way, but it's a way and it's got it's merits
👍🏼
Lol just this week a guy at gun counter was carrying g34 in appendix go figure. I carried years at 3 and 4 oclock
Which I'm fine with, just don't tell everyone they have to.
😊👍🏾
any chance you've written a book re your philosphy on WHY to carry, along with HOW to carry?
Funny
