Enjoy! I have an SP-01 Tactical Urban Grey version. So sexy. So in love. I wish I could carry it... full size, but all metal and weighing over 3 pounds...
I have carried full size pistols and revolvers for 44 years. I am 5' 7" and have no problem carrying full size pistols even in the summer in SE Texas while wearing T-shirts and shorts.
@@jamesk1996 No, sir...I use just heavier leather belts...nothing tactically related. I'm not putting anyone down for buying the advertised belts, but I learned a long time ago (45 years) as a rookie officer to be careful of what I "needed". Be safe ....
I bought a belt and holster for my 1911 from urban carry. Has a lock system that's keeps the pistol secure and is comfortable to wear. I agree the pants you wear make a big difference.
I wear a white beater tshirt, a T-shirt that’s one size up from what I could wear without a gun and I throw a sleeveless button down on top of it. It’s not too hot I live in a very humid environment and it works very well. I just bought a Glock 17 the other day and was in a grocery store dressed just like this, another customer was open carrying and as I was leaving the store a couple of the workers were talking about the guy open carrying. So apparently I must be doing something right plus I try not to stay in the store any longer than I have to. Thank you for the video
Thanks for the great video. I too have carried sub compacts for quite some time and considering moving to full size. This is the best video by far showing examples and not just talking. Great work!
If you have a squeaky leather holster, you can put a bit of talcum powder inside the holster and shake it around with the openings covered, shake the excess powder out and wipe it down really well. I have used it to make saddles stop squeaking.
Thanks Matt, Im kind of a portly guy, I need to ware suspenders that don't stretch with a good belt. with a 1911 or Beretta I use a set of Perry's or Dickies these suspenders don't stretch to much but will give after time so allow for that. Perrys hook to your belt, front and center back you will like these allot! you have my subscription and a big thumbs up thank you for your time here!
I just received a Vedder LightTuck holster for appendix carry of my Beretta 92X Centurion, and I have to say I am impressed! My Berretta carries more comfortably than my G19 (in its own Vedder LightTuck holster). I just got the Beretta, had no idea it would carry so well.
Vedder light tuck with a claw is the only way to go. Upgrade and get the holtex material. You get amazing retention clicks and it slides in and out much better.
One major reason for a full-size pistol: the ability to get a full firing grip in the holster. I can do it with a 1911. I can do it with a Glock 17. I can't do it with a SIG P365. I can do it with a J-frame S&W or other snubbie, because the revolver's cylinder and the shape of the grip create a bit more clearance from my body.
Ha! I found one of those cheap holsters you showed. Fits my G19 perfectly. I don't wear it, but I did strap it low on the steering column on my minivan. Very easy to reach.
I edc a full size But I always carry my snubnose revolver as an “ankle gun”(not on my ankle but it’s for emergencies like gun jam or im grappling with someone) When I’m at work I keep my full size in an inside jacket pocket so I can easily reach it but mainly just keep my snub on me while I’m working bc it’s so small I suggest getting 2 handguns one super small and one full size
hanging out to dry,the legs shrank and squeeze my boots.and Beyer bushes rip them up!. Tried stretch Levi jeans..very good for squatting down& 1st thing I thought was a bigger gun would work with them.were good at first but dryer or hangThx
Matt, thx for pointer towards Vedder holsters. Tried one for EDC EMP. Liked it enough to get 2nd for a full size 1911 that I never thought would be used for CC, it is now. Cheers.
Based upon your recommendations of the Masters holster for a full size 45. I got one over the summer and will try it out this winter, this is a great holster and save me a lot of money from other makers and this is just as high of quality.
Hi Matt. I am new to your channel today and am impressed. You are giving me great info. I am in a wheelchair and struggle with a holster that will fit in my chair. I need to twist to get in but worry about being able to utilize my pistol if ever needed. I found a smaller holster that fits under a towel on the front of my chair it fits my G2C. But my PX9 and 1911 Commander I haven’t found a way to CCW. Continue giving us great info.
3 guns S&W .380 ACP Bodyguard for summer carry with very light clothing. Sig P365X 9mm for some summer and spring. Springfield Ronin 1911 Commander 9mm for all else. Sometimes specific clothing will dictate carry option. For example tucked in button down shirt no jacket for dress casual = pocket holster and the .380. Suit & Tie (rare) where jacket stays on =Sig. Jeans, khakis and t+ overshirt = 1911
I just wanted to recomend a great leather holster for strictly 1911s, 1791 gun leather is what I carry all my 1911s in, great cant, high rise so even my full size doesn't hang down. 3 way holster on Amazon, don't buy to many I need 1 more. Oh yeah 47.00.
Speaking for myself, as much as I want to own a Glock 19 and Walther P99, the reason why I can't is because I have big hands. I've held both pistols before. When I eject and re-insert the magazine in both guns, the bottom of the magazine makes contact with the meat of my hand. I'm afraid that I may injury my hand, if I ever had to do an emergency reload. I'm good with a full size pistol and an IWB holster. I'm currently looking into an Urban Carry holster for my 1911.
Wow the Vedder Holster is more comfortable than leather? I remember when you got the Master Holster you said you were done using kydex, I must have missed the Vedder holster review. Awesome to see an update, your how to carry a full size pistol video was how I found your channel, I hope this one gets as many views as the original.
Om wondering the same thing about what he said about "goodbye kydex!" Vedder looks..got a 20% off 12 hr text today..I suppose you could put some leather on the back of a.kydex holster.rough out.?.
@@wbwills2 I cannot speak for Matt but my best guess is his old kydex holsters were of lesser build quality so they were a bit rough around the edges, or perhaps a pit bulky with odd corners that would stick into him, while Vedder and other brands that make the holster as slim as possible to fit the gun and polish the edges of the kydex so that nothing’s poking you are more comfortable than what you might buy on eBay or a store.
thanks I really appreciate your teaching on how to carry a full size ,now the only thing is how do I choose the right holster for my canik Tp9 sf Thank you sir .
I wear a shoulder holster, vertical type. In the summer I wear a light weight short sleeve fishing shirt with a pattern of some kind over my rig. Winter time I just wear a light weight jacket. Just started training with my first 1911. When I get it down well, it may be my EDC.
Finally someone mentions the problem with Appendix for anyone that has any overhang of their stomach. Many of the cable shows always shows a guy with a flat stomach using appendix carry.
I’ve started to get a beer gut on me, but when I try to carry 3 o clock it digs into my hip too bad. I also seem to go back to appendix, even though I’ve gained a few pounds
I usually carry a Kahr CW9 but depending where I’m going and the season I sometimes carry a Government size 1911(mostly a home defense pistol) or a Browning Hi Power. The Hi Power is easy to carry conceal in an IWB holster due to its thin slide and shorter length grip. It probably weighs about the same as a Commander size 1911.
Another good one if you want a light bearing holster is the vanguard 3 from raven concealment . It’s cool too because it is universal for most pistols with a rail system . It indexes off the light and covers trigger guard
Matt I thought you said a while back that your 1911 was your go to and every day carry weapon..? I'm a fellow Marine and I was attached to Suicide Charley in the gulf War I was 4plt Delta co. 3rd AABN 29palms .. Semper Fi!
Hey Matt, were we friends on Twitter? If so, you may remember me for thanking you for your service and referred to you as soldier. You corrected me that Marines are... Marines. You liked my Colt Gov. that was 'asulterized' by a Navy Seal friend who served in Bay of Pigs and in Vietnam.
I'm having Lonestar holsters in Texas make a 3 slot leather holster for my SAR P8S. Takes 2 months to get but will be worth it. I do have a good belt. I don't iwb at all. I'm 68 and weigh 225 at 5'10" tall so owb and shoulder is what I use
Many good and interesting points. But, I can only see more reasons not to conceal carry, especially during the summertime. It gets up to well over 100 degrees here and an undershirt would be too uncomfortable and stifling. I already wear good, thick belts, but I like the kinds that allow me to change the buckles. Vertical carry shoulder holsters work well in the winter. I would consider a compact pistol, but even subcompacts feel small in my oversized hands, which is why I'm considering a full-sized pistol. Larger pants or shorts...save money, if you're a little overweight, exercise and lose some weight, you'll be glad you did. Maybe a Kydex belly band would be better for summertime concealed carry to protect your body from chafing against the grip. Help or suggestions would be appreciated, just be polite, please.
Always good to see a fellow devil dog out there, putting out knowledge for the safety of others. Even though I'm just a boot compared to the majority (OEF 2013), always appreciate the salt dogs getting it in. Semper Fi, brother.
Good video. I tried the one size up bigger pants thing and it just didn't seem to work for me. It felt like with all that extra room in the waist, my pants weren't as supported by the belt. And my whole waistline wasn't as uniform. I found the gun shifting and sagging too much no matter how much I adjusted or tightened the belt. Maybe it was just the pants. But I don't have that probelm with my normal size pants. I carry a Glock20, a fairly big gun. I carry using a Vedder lighttuck and a ratcheting gunbelt.
Hi Matt, I’m a fairly new subscriber to your channel. I’ve decided that I want to transition my edc from my Glock 19 to my 1911 a1. The only thing that is holding me back is a lack of a suitable holster for my 1911. You mentioned in your video the leather holster that you have, you really liked it. Do you still recommend that one and are there others that you would recommend? I am looking for an iwb, leather model, within my $50-75 budget. Thank you.
I don't carry a full size, but I do carry a compact P-07. It's close to the M11 I was used too and like the DA/SA for the added safety. I use an Aegis belt and a Tier 1 Concealment Axis Slim that conceal it pretty good, even if wearing a loose, but correct sized, T-Shirt.
I carry everyday. A Springfield 1911 TRP. I also wear dress slacks for work everyday. I have never found a gun belt that will fit dress slacks. So I just buy the heaviest/thickest leather belt possible for my IWB holster. What’s your thoughts or suggestions? Thank you.
Great, informative video on this issue. What do you think of Thirty Dollar Gun Belts? I haven't tested it out for any firearm carry, but for the price that's made in USA it seem very thick and durable.
I carry a Canik Mete SFX. And my problem is I like to carry appendix, when I sit down the 5.2 inch barrel hit’s in a tender spot. I am 5 foot 8 any holster or belt can help?
I like the belt recommendations here. I have a heavy leather belt that supports the gun well, but have been thinking about different options. For holsters, I have tried different holsters over the years, and have found that for me, Alien Gear makes the best concealed holster. I’ll have to check out what was said here too, but that might be a good option for some folks.
I have the same 92x and I love it and I'm planning on to carrying it but I need to get better light on it and then I can carry it (holster for that light) I'm not rich and I'm getting married.
Some people just don't like large framed heavy pistols. Like the 1911 or the 92fs Beretta. I carried a 1911 for a decade-and-a-half. I've got six or seven of them in my gun safe you could say I have an addiction problem. Recently I switched to the 92fs. Full frame. Full size. I like having heavy all solid metal pistols on my person. I know it's there I feel it all the time. I don't carry iwb either I always carry owb. The gentleman in the video is not the only one that carries when he's at his house. On my days off I do the same thing I do it every single day without fail I get up I take that leak in the morning I get dressed I pants go on my belt my pistol 1 mag in the well.. two more on my person. Doesn't matter if I'm doing nothing all day but lounging with my daughters or if I'm at work or whatever. Because honestly you never know when the ships going to hit the fan. Every single person that's ever been involved in the mass shooting as a victim you know they didn't wake up that day thinking well my grocery shopping just right cuz there's going to be a mass shooting at this time and place. Nobody knows. And home invasions they are also on The uptick tragically. Anyway back on point here... The 1911 and the 92fs are relatively long. Now the 1911 is I think about 1 in or just under one inch wide at its widest point it's a very slim firearm but it's about 3 lb loaded. Carrying that thing inside the waistband.. very uncomfortable to sit down with. Same with the 92fs Beretta. Some people might ask what how the hell are you going to carry a full-sized firearm like the ones you've mentioned... Owb but concealed all the time? I'm going to tell you how right now... I have a Blackhawk CQC serpa locking holster. I wear it very very very tightly to my hip at either the three position or the 4 position. The way that I dress consist typically of blue jeans work boots a T-shirt and then a button-up shirt just not buttoned-up or tucked in. And when the pistol is at the 4 position you can't see it and I don't print very much either. Everybody's got their particulars though. I think whatever firearm you're carrying... It doesn't matter what it is it doesn't matter what it's made of it doesn't matter what caliber it is... What matters is that you are comfortable with it what matters is that you are proficient with it. Not a bad video it was very well-thought-out and presented. Stay safe out there, keep carrying and God bless 🙏🙏🙏 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
But why would anyone want to carry a full size pistol. Move on,full size guns are obsolete. You want to bet. Give me your reasons why you carry full size guns.
Police & other law enforcement agencies still carry full size pistols. The longer the barrel full size the greater the velocity and greater expansion!! Longer full size barrel means greater accuracy!!! Now you got two really good reasons to carry a full size pistol.
I'll take your bet. Some of us have carried them professionally and trained extensively for years if not decades. Also, some full size conceal easier than the short stubby thick Glock 26's 27's and double stack models. I'll take your bet. There's a good reason that we're still talking about and carrying a 1911 one hundred and twelve (yes, 112) YEARS later. Think your whatever will still be "relevant?"
Just the video i needed!

What is the brand and model of the last (best) holster you showed ?
I don’t wear solid light colored shirts, it’s easy to show the world you’re carrying. I choose a dark color and better yet a mixed pattern shirt.

For holsters, I have tried different holsters over the years, and have found that for me, Alien Gear makes the best concealed holster. I’ll have to check out what was said here too, but that might be a good option for some folks.
I can’t even carry a fn502 without it showing. I gave up.
Semper fidelis brother
Keeler. Thx m.
I'm 1/7 animal co but love seeing the suicide charley chuck in these vids
If you can only afford one gun make it a revolver. They don’t need an expensive break in and are easier to maintain. A 2” . 38 Special conceals easy.
The vedder light tuck was the first holster I got. Somehow I did it right the first time.
I have the same 92x and I love it and I'm planning on to carrying it but I need to get better light on it and then I can carry it (holster for that light) I'm not rich and I'm getting married.
I have a full size because my hands don’t fit on compacts
Still no love for the old, reliable, shoulder holster.
Sturdy belt, loose waist band if you want to carry IWB.
Sorry, no way am I ever going to IWB. Have a good Belt, OWB snap pancake and have no problem with a Kimber 1911. Custom made for gun>
So… we the cholos are cool carrying the desert eagle bro! 😎😎😎
Skinny jeans have elastic waist bands like women jeans
Don't wear baggy clothes unless you want to. Its America, do what you want with your freedom.
Wear black or dark colored shirts
Helps hide the printing

I consider the Glock 19 to be a full size firearm
I carry a CZ P07 & it carries the same as my old Glock 17. So I agree.
That leather holster is a fail
Some people just don't like large framed heavy pistols. Like the 1911 or the 92fs Beretta. I carried a 1911 for a decade-and-a-half. I've got six or seven of them in my gun safe you could say I have an addiction problem. Recently I switched to the 92fs. Full frame. Full size. I like having heavy all solid metal pistols on my person. I know it's there I feel it all the time. I don't carry iwb either I always carry owb.
The gentleman in the video is not the only one that carries when he's at his house. On my days off I do the same thing I do it every single day without fail I get up I take that leak in the morning I get dressed I pants go on my belt my pistol 1 mag in the well.. two more on my person. Doesn't matter if I'm doing nothing all day but lounging with my daughters or if I'm at work or whatever. Because honestly you never know when the ships going to hit the fan. Every single person that's ever been involved in the mass shooting as a victim you know they didn't wake up that day thinking well my grocery shopping just right cuz there's going to be a mass shooting at this time and place. Nobody knows. And home invasions they are also on The uptick tragically. Anyway back on point here...
The 1911 and the 92fs are relatively long. Now the 1911 is I think about 1 in or just under one inch wide at its widest point it's a very slim firearm but it's about 3 lb loaded. Carrying that thing inside the waistband.. very uncomfortable to sit down with.
Same with the 92fs Beretta. Some people might ask what how the hell are you going to carry a full-sized firearm like the ones you've mentioned... Owb but concealed all the time? I'm going to tell you how right now...
I have a Blackhawk CQC serpa locking holster. I wear it very very very tightly to my hip at either the three position or the 4 position. The way that I dress consist typically of blue jeans work boots a T-shirt and then a button-up shirt just not buttoned-up or tucked in. And when the pistol is at the 4 position you can't see it and I don't print very much either.
Everybody's got their particulars though. I think whatever firearm you're carrying... It doesn't matter what it is it doesn't matter what it's made of it doesn't matter what caliber it is... What matters is that you are comfortable with it what matters is that you are proficient with it.
Not a bad video it was very well-thought-out and presented. Stay safe out there, keep carrying and God bless 🙏🙏🙏

Never seen you so jiggly, wiggly, hands, animated. Too much caffeine?
I always talk with my hands….if they were tied, I don’t think my mouth could move
But why would anyone want to carry a full size pistol. Move on,full size guns are obsolete. You want to bet. Give me your reasons why you carry full size guns.
Police & other law enforcement agencies still carry full size pistols. The longer the barrel full size the greater the velocity and greater expansion!! Longer full size barrel means greater accuracy!!! Now you got two really good reasons to carry a full size pistol.
Bc I'm not a bitch
Full size pistols have greater accuracy & greater velocity!! I personally carry a Glock 21 full size pistol
I'll take your bet.
Some of us have carried them professionally and trained extensively for years if not decades. Also, some full size conceal easier than the short stubby thick Glock 26's 27's and double stack models. I'll take your bet. There's a good reason that we're still talking about and carrying a 1911 one hundred and twelve (yes, 112) YEARS later. Think your whatever will still be "relevant?"
