When walking or standing, however, you can have your hand on the butt of the pistol and it looks like the most natural thing in the world. When your hand comes out the pistol comes out with it.

There are proponents of various types of carry and many of them will try to denigrate every other style except their own. I think each person should assess their own needs and make their own decisions.

I do have a Crossbreed IWB for the Kahr .45 and 9mm's but sometimes the 9mm in the pocket is a better choice for whatever reason. It all depends.


Thanks Jim, I had often wondered about access while sitting, especially what to do with it in a vehicle. I have always been uneasy about taking a pistol off me and was wondering how everyone got around that.
