What side should your gun holster be on?

Concealed-carry waistband holsters tuck inside your waistband with a clip that secures them to your clothing. You’ll want the clip on the right side if you’re a right-handed shooter and on the left side if you shoot left-handed. This enables the butt of the gun to point toward your dominant hand.

Are guns left or right-handed?

The first part of the answer deals mostly with long guns — rifles and shotguns. Most such weapons are made for right-handers; not surprising because most of us are right-handed. So most left-handers might have trouble operating the bolt action or safety or magazine release or whatever other stuff might be involved.

What is the safest concealed carry position?

Small of the back carry is one of the most easily concealed carrying positions. Covering is easy and printing is minimal, as one’s pistol lays more or less flat across the back, though a bit of printing will occur if one tucks one’s shirt over the pistol and holster when one sits down.

While it is generally correct, it doesn’t apply to a gun being carried for self-defense. Your concealed carry, everyday carry gun should be ready for use.

What is the best way to carry a handgun?

I generally carry a full sized handgun (1911 in.45 ACP or S&W.357 Magnum revolver) in a strong side hip holster using an old nylon gun-belt from law enforcement work. This works best for me because it is comfortable to carry while hiking in the back country and my holster protects the firearm well and keeps dirt and debris away from the gun.

Should you train with the gun and one in the Chamber?

When you train with the gun and one in the chamber or not, the answer is no. Carrying your self defense weapon, be it concealed carry or open carry, should be as ready as the law allows. Every millisecond you can eliminate from your draw to firing is a better chance you will be the victor in the situation and not the victim.

Should you carry your hammer cocked or exposed in a gun?

Guns with an exposed hammer usually let you pull back the hammer and put on the safety to allow the gun to be in a ready to fire position. Carrying with your hammer cocked is similar to having one in the chamber in your semi-auto handgun. The time saved can be life or death.
