Summer Concealed Carry

SUMMER CONCEALED CARRY

Summer’s striking hard, the temperature’s rising and it starts to be quite uncomfortable in all those layers. You all would like to dress down a bit and feel more comfy. But you’d also want to stay holstered, am I right? This can be trouble especially in states that are far from open carry. But don’t worry, I’m here today with a couple of summer concealment tips that are granted to work. So you can be holstered even when you’re getting hot.

BEST CONCEALED CARRY OPTIONS FOR SUMMER

#1 TIP - IWB AND APPENDIX HOLSTERS You must have seen this one coming, right? ​Inside the waistband holsters, or IWBs, are pretty much synonymous with concealment. These holsters, when installed right, are hardly noticeable, even with just a T-shirt on. They ride nicely against the body, they’re safe (especially those that utilize belt loops) and with a bit of practice, drawing becomes as easy as with ​OWBs​. Depending on your dominant hand, IWBs are mostly carried in the 4 or 8 o’clock position.

Talking about ​appendix holsters (sometimes known as AIWBs), they'll find a hideout right next to your zipper. Some say carrying like this can be rather risky, but your gun is very difficult to snatch and with a bit of practice, they can also become a very solid secondary carry option. But it can be quite difficult to pick the right IWB and/or Appendix holster, which is why I have a couple of tips for you. Whether it’s summer, winter, or any weather conditions, these holsters won’t let you down.

OPEN TOP IWB HOLSTER - LYNX This neat IWB leather holster joined Craft at ideal time, right before the summer kicked in.

Lynx are known for their great ability to tread mountain slopes unnoticed and you can expect the same from this holster - no one will have any idea you have it on. A bonus feature is the partial sweat guard that’ll keep your gun’s finish untouched, even if you sweat a lot.

OPEN-MUZZLE IWB HOLSTER This is another favorite IWB design on our offer. It features widely spread belt loops with press-studs, so you’ll get added stability. The belt loops also make it easy for you to put the holster on and off without having to take the belt off.

LEATHER IWB HOLSTER WITH STEEL CLIP Do you find mounting holsters with belt loops tiresome? Don’t worry, this clip holster will solve the problem. The steel clip makes mounting a matter of seconds.Moreover, the holster can be carried as AIWB too. For additional safety, it comes with a thumb break that’s easy to unsnap, so drawing and re-holstering will be as fast as with almost any OWB.

CONCEALED CARRY NYLON HOLSTER Don’t fancy leather when it’s too hot? Again, I’m here to help! This nylon holster has become a summer favorite. Here’s why. The steel clip it comes with means you don’t have to take your belt off and the material it's made of is pretty airy. Just like our leather products, it also comes with a 5 year warranty.

#2 TIP - BELLY BANDS Let’s continue with another high temperature friendly carry option - belly bands. If you’re working on your summer body, you’ve probably included cardio activities like jogging in your routine. But it’s difficult to stay safe and holstered once you put on your outdoors outfit,

right? This is where belly bands shine, as they can be easily hidden pretty much underneath any piece of clothing. They’re also made of breathable materials decreasing perspiration, so you don’t have to worry about sweat damaging your gun (that is if you jog at my pace = camel pace).

ELASTIC BELLY BAND HOLSTER

If you get this belly band, you’ll be able to conceal more than just your gun. There’s room for 2 extra mags and also for your personal stuff such as keys, mp3, etc. Thanks to the Velcro closing you can be sure none of your stuff will fall out even if you like to jog on uneven terrain or higher speed. It’ll accommodate pistols and revolvers of pretty much any size and you can choose between black, tan, and white color.

3RD GENERATION OF BELLY BAND GUN HOLSTER

This one is the most recent model that’s a slight upgrade on the previous one. The material suppresses perspiration even more while preserving comfort during carry. Just like the previous one, you’ll be able to conceal pretty much any handgun in it and you’ll also get a room for spare magazines and some other things you need with you when out there.

Moreover, the elastic string and velcro closing mean your EDC has no chance of falling out.

#3 TIP - CONCEALMENT FANNY PACKS It’s happening, ​fanny packs are becoming trendy again! And summer is an ideal period to get one. They can safely carry a gun in a special compartment with space for a magazine and other accessories. I’ve got 3 fanny packs for you, all made from high quality materials with a designer finish to not only safely carry a firearm but to look great as well. They are also called concealed carry fanny packs or fanny pack holsters.

FANNY PACK WITH CONCEALED GUN HOLSTER

Made of durable nylon material, this fanny pack is ideal for easy and deep concealment.

There’s a lot of room inside for much more than just your gun, so you can carry extra mags and other personal stuff. If you think it’s less practical than an actual holster, you’re wrong.

The zip opening allows for a very quick draw. Moreover, you can hide in it even full size 1911s. And they come in 3 colors - black, green and coyote.

colder months. It comes in the same 3 colors - black, green, and coyote - and you can hide inside any gun up to 4.5’’ barrel length. This fanny pack will help you stay concealed on any track.

#4 TIP - CONCEALMENT BAGS Not a fan of fanny packs? Don’t worry, we got you covered. ​Concealment bags are slightly bigger, but they’ll make others even less suspicious that you have a gun on you. Besides

that, you can carry many more things in these bags and I’ll show you a couple of bags for different occasions.

CARGO EXPLORER CONCEALED CARRY BAG Summer is not all about jogging. I personally prefer to keep myself fit by hiking, one of the most pleasant activities. If you spend days on days in nature too, then this cordura bag is a great option for you. It’s also a good companion in sticky situations, as you can attach tactical gear to the bag thanks to the Molle platform it features. You can wear it either as a backpack or you can simply attach it to your belt using a thigh anchor strap. Going for a hike? Then this is the bag you’ll like.

CARGO CITY CONCEALED CARRY BAG Are you a fan of cordura but you’d prefer something smaller and fitting the urban environment? Then this Cargo City Bag is your best option. It’s ideal for side or shoulder carry and thanks to the thigh lace and front flap for added stability you can use it while doing some sports too. There are quite many pockets for your stuff to conceal and drawing is a matter of seconds thanks to its fast opening system.
