The practice involves concealing a handgun inside the waistband at the front of the body, typically between the one and two o’clock positions for a right-handed shooter. A specifically designed holster is essential to secure the firearm and protect the trigger. This method offers a high degree of concealment under clothing and allows for a potentially quicker draw in self-defense situations compared to other carry positions.
Adopting this carry style provides advantages such as enhanced discretion and accessibility, particularly while seated. Historically, variations of concealed carry have existed for centuries; however, the modern adaptation with purpose-built holsters provides improved safety and security. Proper training and familiarity with the chosen firearm and holster are crucial for safe and effective implementation.
