the holster for maximum comfort and maximum concealment in a fraction of a Time the pencil method will work for your inside the waistband holster and your appendix carry inside the waistband holster to start off what you want to do is wear your normal clothes you want to wear your normal pants your normal shirt your normal belt so that you can test your holster in the under the right circumstances and once you have have your clothing set up correctly then it's time to move on and work on the holster you want to remove any attachments or accessories from The holster this is key to

[ __ ] effort to get up to the top of the [ __ ] obstacle if you don't like the way it rides if you don't like the comfort you don't like the concealment move the gun up and down in your waistline and then move it clockwise or counterclockwise on the Belt Line continue to make subtle movement changes and then try different positions of standing walking sitting squatting until you find the most comfortable and concealable spot once you find the optimal spot with just the gun and Holster you can try adding different concealment accessories like a camming bar or a wing or a body Contour or wedge a camming bar or Wing is an attachment to the holster that sits along the Belt Line and when the belt is tightened against it the grip of the gun cams or rotates into the body aiding in concealment a camming bar or Wing is a concealment feature and is less of a comfort feature a body Contour or a wedge is both a concealment feature and can also be a comfort feature it's a feature that goes between your body and the muzzle end of the holster it aids in concealment by pushing the muzzle away from the body which then rotates the top of the grip and the Tang into your body aiding in concealment depending on the the design of it the shape the size and the material it can also significantly Aid with comfort so without adding the belt attachments go ahead and try different camming bar sizes or wedge sizes and moving the wedge or body Contour around on the muzzle of the holster to find the optimal spot for comfort and concealment each time you make an adjustment to a concealment feature you want to make sure you test it the same way you tested the holster before you want to squat sit walk move around you want to do all the things you would normally do throughout

and you're going to mark on your holster right at the Belt Line basically tracing a line that shows where the top of your clips should sit or for a top Manet holster where the top of the belt is you don't want to just Mark the Belt Line you also want to Mark any pant loops with a vertical line because because the paint Loops can interfere with a clip or other attachment you want to know the location on the holster once you have those lines marked go ahead and remove the gun and the holster from your waistline then get your belt attachments whether they're Clips or Loops take your attachments and line them up so that they are not interfering with the belt loop and they are lined up so that the top edge of the waistline pencil Mark is even with the top of the belt clip if you have interference with your belt loop a solution is to go with a single clip if your holster has two clips carry with a clip that doesn't interfere with the belt loop the disadvantage of One Clip is that the gun is not as stable in the Belt Line you may have some rocking or canting that occurs because you're only using One Clip then go ahead and attach the clips to the holster once you have attached your Clips go ahead and put the holstered gun back into your waistline to confirm that it's actually sitting in the optimal location for comfort and concealment a requirement for this process is that you actually have a holster that allows you to adjust it where you need it if you have a holster that has attachments that don't adjust enough then they won't allow you to get to the ideal comfort and concealment spot so your options are wear the holster as it is in the not comfortable not concealable spot or get rid of the holster and get a better holster and that's how you set up your holster for the best comfort and best concealment if you're still struggling to get it right you may be making some of the common concealed carry mistakes that we talked about here here here here here
