Re: Just applied today! (06-08-2011)

Requirements in my mind:

Comfortable, Concealable, and Consistent

If its not comfortable, you may not carry as often, therefore comfort is a requirement. Bear in mind that comfort is relative. You'll always know its there, and its good to be conscious of that fact. The right holster makes all the difference, and you will try many before you settle on one. Recommendations will include Crossbreed and Kholster in my book.

It should be reasonable concealable. Printing is OK within reason. No shirts so tight that the gun is completely outlined against your side (IMHO). You may find you need different weapons/holsters for different situations (jogging, work, etc.)

It should fire EVERY time you want it to. If it is remotely unreliable its best to get it looked at and serviced/repaired/replaced. The last thing you want is to be in a situation where deadly force is required and not have the reliability factor on your side.

Practice, practice, practice.....be familiar enough with your weapon to be able to handle it in low light or other adverse conditions. Practice drawing techniques in front of a mirror (unloaded, of course) you don't want to fumble around at a critical moment.

I carry a full size Beretta 92G, right hand, Kholster with a spare mag in my left back pocket.

Congratulations on joining the forum! You will find this a most interesting and enlightening environment, well run and well moderated!
