How did it get that way? New to the channel and love the content, but started in on the comments and was like, are these all his buddies or did it just organically turn into this? ❤️ it! Lol
Chris Rhoads yeah this comment section is basically the product of lack of fathers in the household and bad financial mistakes throughout life. I would say it’s pretty organic.
@@crhoads1024 Many gun videos have a lot of good humor. Honestly I think it's because many gun people are also not ones to be overly sensitive like the joke police on the other side of the spectrum. This allows the comments to be more humorous because the subject matter tends to draw in people that can actually handle messing around with each other.
FWIW I've had success with shorter, compact g's with barrels in the 3.x" range @ 12:00. A Shield for instance, or a M&Pc or G26 have all worked for me. G19 might be just a tad too long. Add a light and forggeddabouddit.
The truth behind Mike Rowe is that he doesn't do any work but point at people who are doing the work. Tony from This Old House does the work and does a show. I have a lot more respect for Tony.
I for one practice the old school "sweatpants carry" where I can comfortably fit both a Mossberg Persuader in my pants, and a loaded Draco complete with "extendos" lining the inside of my other leg. It's the ultimate in gray man carry.
Just FYI not all Marines love red crayons. I prefer purple cuz I like grapes. I enjoy your videos and your knowledge base is very respectable. keep it up
Dude, got 2 minutes into this video and had to comment. Your polite comments about the military and their approach to privately owned weapons struck a deep chord with me. In addition, you remarked that there IS difference between law enforcement concealed carry and everyone else.
I love all his weapon reviews but I wish we could get more of these gear and principal reviews. Everyone does weapon videos, and Papa Plaid does it better then most, but the unique quality of his channel were these videos of gear that very few create.
just found your page. my boy is a Navy sea cadet and i'm a inst. for the cadets. he's planning on being a Ranger. I think your videos are very helpful for him and me. keep up the good work.
Excellent video! When discussing hybrid IWB holsters (Ex. Alien Gear) you mentioned that you prefer to have the trigger guard completely enclosed. Black Arch's PROTOS-M holster has a "3/4 kydex shell" that completely wraps around the trigger guard and provides an excellent retention level that is adjustable, consistent, and does not depend upon pressure between the shell and the backing... incredibly comfortable! :) By the way, I loved your interaction with Ernest Langdon on P&S Modcast #173... GOOD DA/SA STUFF! :) That podcast first introduced me to you... now I'm a subscriber and very much enjoying your videos! I have yet to pick up the new Beretta 92 Elite LTT, but I'm saving for it... for now, I LOVE MY Inox PX4s (compact & full-size) - very underrated pistols.
I highly recommend Blackpoint Tactical holsters. I am a small framed guy and can easily and comfortably conceal my Springfield Operator with the THOT protector installed IWB. I agree that the vanguard and incog are good options too. Excellent info in your videos by the way.
Mr. Haley, I have been trying to find the perfect holster for my custom hi point 45. I've got it narrowed down to either the crosman shoulder holster or the uncle mikes iwb tuckable. Which would you recommend? Ive watched a bunch of sick anime so I'm pretty sure i have the ability to do a .5 second draw either way.
I carry 2 full size 1911 airsoft pistols, everywhere, all the time. Way higher capacity with the airsoft pistols than regular firearms. Also quieter, lower recoil, lighter.
been carrying for 9 years, comp-tac infidel with the belt loops is probably my favorite holster for iwb and comp-tac flat line for owb, i never run clips on my holsters they failed me in a course once and that was it, wilderness belt is awesome, love the videos dude funny as hell and informative thanks for the hard work man.
I just ordered Trex holster with a side car for a spare magazine. It is about a 5 week waiting period but I have heard good things about it. I’m thank you for the hard work and standing up for our 2nd amendment and all the great reviews and videos.
I always carry my appendix.... but my draw time is like 3 hours + pre op and it requires a surgeon. Pro: always have it with me Con: can get you killed
Worked for a private security firm for 10+years. PPK in a Bianci IWB holster as my primary duty... FNX-40 in a DeSantis OWB if expecting real trouble... preferred the Galco shoulder rig when driving long distance, for ease of draw. ALL were "thumb-break" retention. Qualified with all three each year... All were used as Concealed Carry. None of our other Officers used the same equipment, as everyone has their own preference.
I have started AIWB carrying my American made 16” barrel AR-10. Concealment is a challenge, of course, but nothing beats smoking floppies with 51 millimeters of freedom.
Have you ever looked into Vedder Holsters? I personally believe that they are one of the highest value holsters out there. Price is right, shipping times are acceptable, and lots of options. The LightTuck is my go-to IWB holster. . You can adjust the ride height, cant, and retention very easily. They also have a lot of color options for those extra high speed individuals because we all know those kryptek patterns decrease your draw speed by one whole second.
idk if any of y'all are in construction, but when the belt portion of your tool belt wears out you will replace just the belt instead of the whole rig usually. the leather belts you can get at home Depot to replace those on tool pouches are outrageously tough, super thick, hold up weight very well, fit SNUG through belt loops aaannnddd are about 9 bucks.
Bravo-Zulu! Great Video, I am a big guy and because of a service Connected injury that had me in a wheelchair for almost 6 years I put on an extra 100 LBS because of that I have reduced how often I wear an IWB holster but I do carry every time I leave the house. Because of my extra tonnage that I have put on I mostly use OWB holsters and when it cool here in Central Florida I use both Galco or DeSantis Miami Classic type shoulder holsters. I have been a FL CCW permit holder since the early 90s and I have tried many different kinds of holsters made by about every major holster maker out there and as my carry sidearms have changed and my skill level has increased I have changed how and what I carry. My first Glock was a Gen 3 G22 40sw and I carried that pistol in a Galco Combat master holster or Galco Royal Guard IWB from 2004 to 2015 when I upgraded to a Gen 3 RTF2 G22 and recently purchased a Gen 4 G22 but I have had and carried the Gen 4 G23 and G35 as well. I do own Alien Gear for my Glock 17/22, Sig P226/229 and my 1911s and they have the leather back because the composite material gets way too hot here in FL. In the past couple of years I have made a decision to start looking for solid Kydex OWB holster that would allow me to carry my sidearm with a weapon light attached and after lots of research and a few disasters I found Bravo Concealment and I purchased holsters that would allow me to carry my Gen 4 G17 or G22 as well as my Sig P226 with TLR-1 HL units attached and after 6 month of using the Bravo holsters I am very please with my purchase and would recommend the Bravo holsters to anyone that would ask me about a solid carry kydex holster. The one bad thing about Bravo Concealment is that they changed their line up and are now only carrying quick ship holsters for some Glocks 17/19 and 42/43 and some MP pistols and that is it but I was told a couple of weeks ago when I tried to order a holster for my Sig P229 w/surefire xc1. One thing that everyone should consider when outfitting their carry sidearm is the following: Good Sights I prefer Tritium Night Sights I prefer Trijicon and Meprolight Good Weapons Light I prefer Streamlight TLR-1 HL I have both the older 630 and the new 800 lumen units Good Laser unit I prefer the Crimson Trace frame grip model for Glocks and XDm and the Grips for Sig 226 and 229 as well as 1911. Just wanted to put in my 2 cents. P.S. Using button up shirts like the ones from 5.11 Tactical, Tru-Spec and Propper that fit loose I carry my sidearms in OWB Bravo Concealment Weapon light pistol holster riding on a 5.11 Tactical 1.75 inch Operator Belt with cargo shorts or jean here in FL on a daily bases.
Great video! Sometimes I don't know if you're being funny or serious, but in either case your videos are always entertaining and informative. Can't wait until the next video.
Always been an open carry kind of guy with CZ-75 and Glock 17s. Finally bought a Glock 19 and a T-Rex Arms Raptor AIWB Holster. Always good to learn a new skill.
The newer alien gear holsters (shape shift line) do completely enclose the trigger guard. They are modular as well so the same holster can be set up to carry IWB, appendix, or OWB just by switching out the backing.
Being 5'4" 160lbs, even my glock 19 is hard for me to conceal carry well. What i have found that works for me is a Trex Raptor appendix carry holster at 1 o'clock with a glock 30sf on a Nova belt. The gear from Trex is top notch, plus this setup lets me hide the gun, holster and two spare magazines without printing. The raptor claw on the holster also helps by pushing the grip of the gun closer to your body.
I carry with Bigfoot Gun Belt, I believe they work with Alien Gear Holsters. Wonderful leather belt, double leather, steel core insert. I used to carry a 5 inch government 1911 with Surefire X300, 8+1 loaded and about 3 extra mags. Can't even feel they were there. And now I'm using holster from L.A.G. Holster down in Reno, Nevada. I love their designs, that opening is not bulky at all but makes reholster very very easy
After several failed attempts to obtain a comfortable gun belt for EDC the Kore Essentials belt met all my expectations. The quality rigidity, comfort and price filled the bill. I would highly recommend this belt to anyone looking for one. Another feature that was really important was that being a big person the belt was plenty big and it allowed me to adjust it to my size with no problem.
IWB or OWB i carry concealed with an un-tucked shirt always. The printing isn't as big a deal as people think for OWB as the majority of people out in public are in their own worlds and don't pay much attention as long as a shirt is covering the gun. The element of surprise is more important than a sub-one second draw. I too can draw and shoot in under a second but the big advantage is if something goes down as long as it's concealed i'm not the first guy they will take out just because I'm armed. I have and use a host of holsters. The one's I use the most are the Vedder Light Tuck for IWB and a RCS phantom for both IWB and OWB. i typically use Safariland ALS holsters most of the time for OWB though. Not a duty style but the 6000 series or 7000 series that ride up high above the hem of my untucked shirt.
Brian C I was subbed to that channel in the past and I noticed that the channel went away. For years now I’ve been trying to find it with no luck. Today I finally found the carnick con archive channel bc of that shoutout. Thank you garland thumb
Carried and still carry my duty weapon, both a Sig and Glock for over 25 years, concealed day after day, in rain, snow, or shine... never, ever had any issue with a leather holster dry or wet. If you buy a quality holster and replace it at proper intervals, you won’t have any equipment failure issues.
Mike Rowe is a television show host. He doesn't do any of the cool stuff you see on his show. Garand Thumb only talks about things he practices and has knowledge of.
Love to see that tshirt under the flannel. Looks like Geo Wash all kitted up. Great info across the board. As a civilian, it's good to hear it from the pros. J
Always enjoy the sublime humor in your videos (and the humorous comments following them). Depending on situation and wardrobe I carry either IWB, OWB or (mostly) shoulder holster. Mostly 1911s in a Defender, Commander and full-size and a MP9 CORE w/red dot. I favor the shoulder holsters but will spare you the reasons why. You note the importance of a good gun belt. Many good belt makers and mine was made by Armour. Too flimsie along with an incorrectly tensioned holster can result in a wedgie on the draw. Or be cause for showing off one's butt crack when carrying a heavier gun (with or without mag pouch(es). One style OWB holster (not mentioned) and that I like and own is the Yaqui and mine is made by Galco. A nice IWB holster also by Galco is their Southern Comfort. These are leather, hold their shape, form and opening size and minimalist holsters. Part of printing is the bulk of the holsters and both these help reduce printing. Both these holsters can be carried in appendix (12 to 2) and hip (3 to 5). Their lack of bulk also helps with comfort, especially when sitting or driving. I carry every time I drive, and the shoulder holster is the most comfortable holster I've found for that. Oh, sorry, I was not going to expand on reasons for liking the shoulder holster. Again, enjoy the vids and insights. Thanx for sharing. lg
You mentioned G-Code which is a great minimalistic holster. You should check out a company called Phlster. It's a small company in Philadelphia. The difference between the two is that the Phlster has a strap that wraps around the belt compared to the clips that the G-Code has.
Ian Walker Weaver is to keep your silhouette smaller when not wearing body armor where as isoceles keeps your body armor square against the person shooting back at you. Also Weaver was more effective when using a revolver to steady your aim because you can't grip a revolver like a semi auto.
Non joke, actual recommendation. I have a leather belt with nylon stitching so they won't stretch when they get wet. For my holster I have a high threat concealment low profile with the iwb straps but it would also be my choice for OWB. The holster is awesome, it has options for weapon lights and the belt is fine, nothing too special about it other than zipper pockets inside the belt for cash or other items of the size.....
If it helps anyone, i got my glock 19 right when I turned 21, and got myself a G-code incog holster with it. I've carried my g19 in stock form with that holster for the last 4 years or so, both appendix and 3 o clock. If you wear tight fit jeans/pants, carrying appendix is a bit more uncomfortable, but not a deal breaker. The incog is designed with 2 clips, but I run it with only 1 clip on as it secures the holster very well. That being said, if you do plan on running a light on your carry weapon, just get the eclipse from G-code.

The raptor claw on the holster also helps by pushing the grip of the gun closer to your body.
Love you videos and that Military sense of humor, Semper Fi. Brother
I carry with Bigfoot Gun Belt, I believe they work with Alien Gear Holsters. Wonderful leather belt, double leather, steel core insert. I used to carry a 5 inch government 1911 with Surefire X300, 8+1 loaded and about 3 extra mags. Can't even feel they were there. And now I'm using holster from L.A.G. Holster down in Reno, Nevada. I love their designs, that opening is not bulky at all but makes reholster very very easy
After several failed attempts to obtain a comfortable gun belt for EDC the Kore Essentials belt met all my expectations. The quality rigidity, comfort and price filled the bill. I would highly recommend this belt to anyone looking for one. Another feature that was really important was that being a big person the belt was plenty big and it allowed me to adjust it to my size with no problem.
I wear the KORE EDC belt everyday. Unfortunately I travel to many states and can't carry with it all the time but when I do it is phenomenal.
IWB or OWB i carry concealed with an un-tucked shirt always. The printing isn't as big a deal as people think for OWB as the majority of people out in public are in their own worlds and don't pay much attention as long as a shirt is covering the gun. The element of surprise is more important than a sub-one second draw. I too can draw and shoot in under a second but the big advantage is if something goes down as long as it's concealed i'm not the first guy they will take out just because I'm armed. I have and use a host of holsters. The one's I use the most are the Vedder Light Tuck for IWB and a RCS phantom for both IWB and OWB. i typically use Safariland ALS holsters most of the time for OWB though. Not a duty style but the 6000 series or 7000 series that ride up high above the hem of my untucked shirt.
Like for the Carnik Con shoutout
Brian C I was subbed to that channel in the past and I noticed that the channel went away. For years now I’ve been trying to find it with no luck. Today I finally found the carnick con archive channel bc of that shoutout. Thank you garland thumb
Chris Mathy he got some disease and stopped posting. He’s fine now but said he isn’t coming back to RUclips
Informed Constitutionalist god damn shame
I used to have a Wilderness Instructor belt & can say that it will last for a while. I had mine for just about 20 years.
If you love John Moses Browning and Canik just do like me. I carry a CZ P07, no compromise except that it isn't a glock 19 and well..... seals
Shinobi HOG I love my p07 what kind of holsters do you use?
BigZiggyHD I posted above. I have a high threat concealment holster with a surefire xc1 light. It's pretty great
Carried and still carry my duty weapon, both a Sig and Glock for over 25 years, concealed day after day, in rain, snow, or shine... never, ever had any issue with a leather holster dry or wet. If you buy a quality holster and replace it at proper intervals, you won’t have any equipment failure issues.
This guy is like the Mike Rowe of cool shit.
Mike Rowe is a television show host. He doesn't do any of the cool stuff you see on his show.
Garand Thumb only talks about things he practices and has knowledge of.
What is this dad? Two uploads within 5 days? Your loads of knowledge are going to make me faint.
Could you do a video on sunglasses? Like tactical sunglasses/ballistic sunglasses, or just Oakley's. Oakley's are always awesome.
Richard Steen rule #1 with sunglasses is form over function. It doesn't matter if they are Z87.1 rated, just get what looks dope. Aka: Ray Bans
Garand Thumb rocks the Vipers. Come on now!
Love to see that tshirt under the flannel. Looks like Geo Wash all kitted up. Great info across the board. As a civilian, it's good to hear it from the pros. J
Hell yeah got my bucket of crayo- I mean popcorn ready!
Really like the 511 tactical belt. If mine ever wears out, I'll buy another one
green crayons. Love it.
Man! Crazy to see how much better he got at the "RUclips gig". He seems way out of his element in these older videos.
I will...(*hesitates*) not hesitate to recommend these holsters.
Man, I’m subbed just for the comment section..............and your flannel fashion materiel as well! Keep lumberjacking it on!
In Australia, we now have conceal carry tactical crates haha
Always enjoy the sublime humor in your videos (and the humorous comments following them). Depending on situation and wardrobe I carry either IWB, OWB or (mostly) shoulder holster. Mostly 1911s in a Defender, Commander and full-size and a MP9 CORE w/red dot. I favor the shoulder holsters but will spare you the reasons why.
You note the importance of a good gun belt. Many good belt makers and mine was made by Armour. Too flimsie along with an incorrectly tensioned holster can result in a wedgie on the draw. Or be cause for showing off one's butt crack when carrying a heavier gun (with or without mag pouch(es).
One style OWB holster (not mentioned) and that I like and own is the Yaqui and mine is made by Galco. A nice IWB holster also by Galco is their Southern Comfort. These are leather, hold their shape, form and opening size and minimalist holsters. Part of printing is the bulk of the holsters and both these help reduce printing. Both these holsters can be carried in appendix (12 to 2) and hip (3 to 5). Their lack of bulk also helps with comfort, especially when sitting or driving. I carry every time I drive, and the shoulder holster is the most comfortable holster I've found for that. Oh, sorry, I was not going to expand on reasons for liking the shoulder holster.
Again, enjoy the vids and insights. Thanx for sharing. lg

Love the videos! One of my top 3 gun channels for sure! Keep up the awesome work and please don’t stop releasing content.
Bravo Concealment is my preferred holster for owb and iwb.
I run Alien gear for my glock 19. hvent had an issue and I am a big dude so it helps to spread the pressure of the gun when pulled tight to my body.
“Survival pudge”....I’ve got that 😏😏😏
Constructive comment , you have the best channel on the tube dank jokes and tactical flannels for the win
Where can I find these sick tactical flannels?
Savers or Good Will. Look cool for less than $10, but you'll smell like ass for less than $10.
+Vince Tambellini Aren't they the new CDA ( Canuk, Digital, Autumn ) ?
I'd check out Pendleton flannels, ll bean, Duluth trading, 5 eleven. galls.com qmuniforms.com
5.11 is good if you want tactical flannel
You mentioned G-Code which is a great minimalistic holster. You should check out a company called Phlster. It's a small company in Philadelphia. The difference between the two is that the Phlster has a strap that wraps around the belt compared to the clips that the G-Code has.
You mind doing a vid on benefits of different shooting styles weaver isosceles etc? Btw love all the vids keep up the good work!
Ian Walker Weaver is to keep your silhouette smaller when not wearing body armor where as isoceles keeps your body armor square against the person shooting back at you. Also Weaver was more effective when using a revolver to steady your aim because you can't grip a revolver like a semi auto.

I EAS in 2008, but im immediately going to storage and digging out my seabag because ive been inspired to wear my tan belt in civis.
Awesome dude keep the videos coming.
Non joke, actual recommendation. I have a leather belt with nylon stitching so they won't stretch when they get wet. For my holster I have a high threat concealment low profile with the iwb straps but it would also be my choice for OWB. The holster is awesome, it has options for weapon lights and the belt is fine, nothing too special about it other than zipper pockets inside the belt for cash or other items of the size.....
Seems like the kind of guy that would be Delta if it existed.............
Shhh... *Winks in Delta*
Jackal19x Nathan Krassow this thread killed my boys 😂
damn, you gone past 20k subs already! keep up the good work sniffles, i really enjoy your vids
What's the best way to conceal carry extendo mags yo haha
Love the shout out to Relentless Tactical. They're a fantastic company. I'm a big fan
I just carry mine in my hand..😂
If it helps anyone, i got my glock 19 right when I turned 21, and got myself a G-code incog holster with it. I've carried my g19 in stock form with that holster for the last 4 years or so, both appendix and 3 o clock. If you wear tight fit jeans/pants, carrying appendix is a bit more uncomfortable, but not a deal breaker. The incog is designed with 2 clips, but I run it with only 1 clip on as it secures the holster very well. That being said, if you do plan on running a light on your carry weapon, just get the eclipse from G-code.
how do you know green crayon are most delicious, unless you have tried it?
Subbed bc this is some of the best content on here. Keep it coming
