What do you do with your pistol when you hit the head?

[Red98422]

I thought something totally different from your title. Like "how do you celebrate a pistol head shot"

Considering I work alone and I don't go out in public much, it's not something I think about. I suppose it lives in my shorts where the boys go when the shorts are up

Yeah old habits, I was in the Corps for a bit and currently live around and on boats and ships...the lingo never leaves

Keep a jock strap in your pocket and when the urge comes to take an Obama just put said pistol on top of yer head, cinch the jock strap under your chin and presto,instant secured pistol rest. Your welcome!

Try it at home, then you'll know if it works beforehand. We've all been there before. I try to do all my testing at home to avoid issues out and about.

After this uncomfortable incident I decided to do just such, and realized that retention and usability are two separate issues.

usability wise I used a method as described above involving tensioning ones waistband with your shins, or I just have said pistol in hand....which has obvious negatives, not least of which is feeling like a phsycopath holding a damn loaded pistol while taking the browns to the super bowl hahaha!

Ha! Yeah, the pants under retention method sounded difficult. When I'm gruntin' one out I need all my focus.

When the Taco Bell hits it's all I can do to not stain the underbritches...pistol retention is a FAAAAAAR second at that time lol

I ended up doing something similar to this...freaking awkward as all hell especially with an all steel 1911.

Yeah for concealed I generally run a compact polymer frame like a ez-9 glock 19 or str-9 but I could see that being a issue

That's called "critical mass" in my house, and just about everything short of the house burning down comes second to "critical mass."

I leave my pants buttoned and loosen my belt then only lower my pants to like right below my knees and kinda push out wards with my legs creating a tension in my pants fabric and belt this holding my gun and holster above the lign of sight and off the floor.

This. Just one more pro to AIWB.

I have tried carrying on my side and small of my back but I agree my aiwb holster does help with this method haha

I carry appendix so if I am doing number "uno" I remove the holster with the gun still in place and tuck it under my armpit.

If I am doing number "dos" my holstered pistol gets laid in the crotch portion on my trousers and to keep it off the ground and out of view of others.

Due to the way I carry I normally don't use a urinal, I'll wait for a stall to come available so I don't have to worry about any Karens' seeing my firearm.

I do miss the days of the tank you could set stuff on. An amazing number of guns ended up "forgotten" this way which was often humorous. I never had that problem.

Much can depend on how you carry. For example, when you carry at appendix (as I do) the odds of the gun sliding off the belt when you undo your belt, are much greater than if you carry at, say, 4 o'clock.

I've never really been much of one for...how to say this...yanking the "Little General" out through the fly. But it works ok when using a urinal.

Otherwise...if it's a seated affair...I simply take my whole holster off and shove it into a pant leg. That way there is little risk of forgetting on the back of the toilet or something. And I don't think you should ever hang it on the door hook. People do reach over and steal stuff that way.
