I forgot to put this up there: Yeah, the part you are talking about would be exposed. Buy one of the "magazine" grip things off their website. It fits the place you are talking about just right. I ordered this and one of the Qwik Grips to see which I like better. Having the best grip poss...

I'm a BIG fan of Talon Grips. I tried the slip on rubber stuff that i've seen in stores and just didn't care for them. They felt funny, were too sticky, and weren't that comfortable. I traded for a Glock 30 a while back and the guy had put rubber Talon Grips on it. I loved them. I have put them on ...

I broke in and got comfortable with the P9 this weekend. Put 200 rounds of WWB on Saturday and another 200 on Sunday. Overall, I'm very happy with the gun. It is comfortable to shoot, very accurate, and didn't have a single failure. The slide is extremely stiff, but I got used to it. The raised bump...

Welcome Yeah they have a great price for a reinforced gun belt ;-) Feel free to ask any questions any time. Many of us tried many different "systems" of carrying and can save you buying gimmicks that sound good but end up in a drawer unused. At first it's a real learning experience, later...

I think it's good manners to keep my gun and my underwear concealed in another's home unless invited to do otherwise. Lots of people comparing concealed carry to underwear in this thread. While I certainly agree in principle, the possibility of my underwear choice being inadvertently revealed is fa...

Speaking of deep pockets, certain models of slacks/pants/jeans at Duluth Trading Co have deep pockets, not all models do, but the ones I buy do. They'll say things like 12 inch deep pockets etc on those. Also Old suits/ pants can be altered and the pockets deepened. a P9 is a bit bigger than a pm9,...

Agree with most of the above. In Texas, you don't need to announce to anyone that you are carrying unless they are LEO and they ask you. I also have some very liberal friends, and when I visit I never tell. There just isn't any sense in them knowing if I am carrying or not--and I'm not going to tel...

You guys rock. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. Looks like step 1 will be getting comfortable with day-to-day carrying and what holster options work best for different scenarios.

I don't tell anyone I'm carrying unless law requires me too. I carry at friends houses, even those with kids. Don't ask don't tell- concealed is concealed. If me or my gun ever became a problem serious enough that others need to be aware/warned then we've all got bigger problems anyway. For busines...

I obtained my first CHL while living in Florida a little more than 10 years ago, but moved to Texas shortly thereafter and didn't pursue obtaining my Texas license until very recently. Although I've owned several handguns, none were suitable for concealed carry, and the process of getting licensed a...
