    Maybe I’m a little late in asking this. With winter here. We’re wearing long length winter coats and full coveralls. How are you guys & gals safely carrying so you can quickly get to your weapon? Although I’ve looked at YouTube videos, the reason for my question is to get some guidance on the correct holster.
    Thanks in advance

    OWB Glock 17 with a TLR-1 summer/winter. I don’t change up guns or positions of holsters.

    I carry what the cops carry, on purpose.

    Same all year; 3:00 IWB with mags OWB at 9:00.

    I buy my cloths, Tshirts to winter coats, to go around my carry gear.

    Summer = 90% Glock 43 & 10% Shield 2.0
    Winter = Glock 19

    I carry all my guns AIWB. I’m slender so it’s hard for me to conceal the longer grip on the 19 or else I’ll carry it year round

    AIWB Beretta Elite LTT or M9A1. All year long. Situationally dependent a G43 is in the mix, but that’s more for gym shorts/sweatpants for a quick run to the store.

    This can change things..

    " and full coveralls."

    I like most posted here carry the same year round--G-19 in a Cross Breed IWB at 3:30 with 1 extra mag @ 9:00.

    If you wear "full coveralls" you do not have that access to a belt holster.

    For me, in that case I carry the G-19 in a Galco shoulder rig with 2 extra mags on the off side.

    You will need the coveralls to have the extra room to cover this rig..Bill.

    I too carry the same all year around but being left handed I carry at 10:00 with either a fixed or folding assisted knife on the right. I always carry owb because it's comfortable for me, I've tried iwb and can't seem to get comfortable with it, doesn't help I may be a little chubby lol

    OWB a CZ P10C same position, same holster all year long. Only thing that changes is clothing. Large shirt covers it in the summer, but in the winter/cooler months I tuck in my shirt and a jacket or sweathshirt covers the gun. I normally leave my jacket unzipped for easier access to the gun. On days as cold as today though it's a bit more difficult. In that case I'll often tuck something smaller in an outer jacket pocket for quicker access and as a backup.
