Just wondering if anyone on the forum ever carries Mexican style?
Just for gits & shiggles I stuffed my Beretta 92 Mezkin style in my belt today and it's actually working out very well. With a tight belt the gun is staying put, it's really not uncomfortable, and concealing just fine.

i don't do that, but being left handed i often carry a holster at a right angle on a belt not at the right side, but near to the belt buckle on the right side. Prefered way in some respects.

Occasionally, when I unass my office to go get a diet Dr. Pepper and a bag of trail mix, I'll go heeled in the beltline, just so I don't have to slide the IWB on, as its usually off when I am sitting or driving.

Yes, that's my standard carry using a "Clipdraw" belt clip. I have two Kahr's for CC, a CW9 and a CM9 and both have a clip on them. The clip goes on the pants waistband and under the belt. They ride at 8 o'clock for me (left hander) and stay in place nicely. I tried IWB holsters and anything that added width to the pistol made it less comfortable. With this the width of the pistol itself is all I have stuff in my pants. Well, among other things...

Yes, that's my standard carry using a "Clipdraw" belt clip. Ditto. S&W 6946 just to the right of my belt buckle. Did the same thing for years without the clipdraw, or with various revolvers with a clipdraw.

Yep, everyday. This for the revolver: ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/TLEEF/Miscellaneous/32HampR1_zpsgtlcsal2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/TLEEF/Miscellaneous/32HampR3_zpsoq0dax1r.jpg) Nothing for the Colt Gov .380, it stays just fine.

Yeah, quite often with a 1911 or HP. The K9 moves around too much for me without a holster, so I avoid that. Too easy to get by with that gun in an OWB mini scabbard anyway, but if I'm wanting to make sure I'm really discrete the VMII works well. PF9 with the clip carries well in a pinch - but these days I'm not comfortable going with so little gun.

I did 25yrs ago (in my 30" Wrangler days) with a Colt Officers model from time to time. THEN I bought a Milt Sparks Executive Companion (old factory, made by Milt w/o the sweat guard) and discovered I could carry a full sized 1911 in total comfort all day w/o worrying about my pistol squirming around or becoming dislodged. I never carried w/o a holster again, other than occasionally walking out to get the mail.

I do on occasion. Auto's work better for me, but they stay where they are just fine. Haven't had a lot of luck with revolvers. I think it's used more often than most people realize. Especially on the street.

..since the 1970s...did today with a Combat Commander.
When I was visiting out west in 2013 and 14 mostly carried a S&W 57 4"...rarely had a holster on. Just slipped inside the waistband butt forward behind my left hip...gun just disappears..
Only reason I started using a holster in 2007 is that when I started carrying a Commander with a front night sight it started wearing holes through the seat of my jeans under the left rear pocket...

I do it sometimes with my 1911. With a good belt it stays put and is real easy to draw.

Yeppers. I prefer to carry on the left side like that when I'm driving. I can cross-draw my Glock in a blink, and when I get out my shirt covers the pistol. I also am leery of not carrying enough gun. I feel vulnerable if I don't have my Glock 20 where I can get to it immediately.
