Suboptimal Concealed Carry Rigs - Are you doing #EDC wrong?

Jeff talks about the importance of a good concealed carry rig and what constitutes suboptimal. It is hard to know everything as a consumer when it comes to options, features or choices. You have to start somewhere and the best place is defining your mission. Realize in the beginning you may make some poor choices on gear. Don't worry, we have all done it the same thing. Learn from it and move one. #trainhard #trainharderthanme #dowork

My primary reason is for self defense and the ability to conceal as an ordinary citizen. I do realize the limitations of the firearm I have chosen and will likely get another tool to fit other scenarios when the need arises. Your point is well taken; all guns and setups are not created equal, I probably won't use my concealed carry to hunt deer.

I experimented by doing things any instructor would say ahead of time weren't going to work. For example, I was trying to carry a larger gun. Everyone is okay with P320 or G19, why can't I do it? This led me on a long struggle with shoulder holsters, because the armpit is the only place where I can hide a gun this large. Spoiler: I gave up on that and started carrying a gun that's significantly undersized compared to what seems normal to everyone.

I started to carry off duty a sig320 due to my jobs gun was also a sig320. I wanted familiarity and when it was time to qualify on the range. This has work out for me with a owb holster with a clothing adjustment to suit the gun. Good tips thx

Well said - what do you think about someone who already has a G19 double stack, and is looking into single-stacks like the Shield or G43X for lighter/thinner carry? Just concerned in terms of the recoil that the single stacks might have although they definitely conceal better and are overall more likely to be carried. Thanks!
