I think this will be best for me too. Besides is someone secretly call how would I know????
What you posted make a lot of sense to me. Thanks.
Im just planning the "What If" thing.

I go well concealed but I alway wonder what someone would do if they accidently discovered my gun. If I knew they saw it for sure & said some think I would show them my CHL. But if they secretely call the police I think I would wait with my TDL & CHL in hand.
Im glad the new laws give us a little slipping room. But I will not change the way I carry. I will stay safely concealed.
My brother has had his CHL for 18 years & has been stopped for minor stuff & he said the LEOs were real respectful. Plus he never got a ticket.
He also said he was never disarmed by the LEO either. I can under stand if they want to disarm you. (Nicely)

It's like the only thing a CHL is good for is to show a judge -after spending thousands for court & Attorney fees because a LEO doesnt agree with a license issues by the DPS.
After reading some posts here:
My biggets fear, after doing the right stuff during a traffic stop. is being slammed over the Hood of you car & cuffed anyway & taking a ride....
Im Definitely going to stay well concealed & Drive super careful so wont get stopped.

I picked up the Safariland 5181 today. I really like it. Comfortable and, like you said, it rides high and close to the body allowing for rather easy concealment. Thanks for mentioning it on here!

GREAT! Glad you liked it!

I currently carry IWB with a Comp-Tac MTAC and while it's usually not too uncomfortable, it makes the grip of my gun dig into either my kidney or my hip and ribs when I'm seated in the car. I've tried just about every configuration but due to the size of my G22 there always seems to be something poking into me somewhere! I'll see if the 5181 suits me better.

Let me know how you like it. I use a paddle because My gun goes off & on at work. I like the 5181 best. you can tighten the tension. I also like the suade lining inside. It's a leather holster molded for you gun. Hope you like it. It may not be for everyone but worth a try!!

They both come in Left or right hand. Im left handed.
Im a real wierdo!!! I love carrying a full size gun. The Glock 22 Gen 4 or the Glock 17 Gen 4 they both fit the same holster ( Have both these guns).
I wear a size larger shirt & sometime a Maasd Ayoob (Shoot me First) vest!!!!

I think the new Sept 1st laws are going to be good for us.

Do you mean the 5181 holster? I also carry a G22 and am trying to find an OWB holster that will still allow me to conceal the weapon well enough. IWB is too uncomfortable for me.

Yes the 5181 (Sorry about that) It is a hi rise paddle holster that clips over the belt. It is leather felt lined to protect gun finish & molded for the gun.
I got mine from cops-plus. But what works for me may not work for you.
I also have this holster Safariland 6378 ALS Concealment Paddle Holster I like the both. This one has an als retension lock thats easy to use.
They both conceal well but the 5181 conceals best for me. Go online & read about them. Amazon or Cops-Plus. I think Cop-Plus gives a 10% discount for NRA membors on some items. These are the only paddle hosters I have because they conceal well. cheap paddle holster hang out too far.
