Re-thinking holster choice winter carry

[Ματθιας]

If I'm in that situation, I'm thinking, I'm not going to jail or risk getting hurt or killed over a parking lot dispute. Plus I don't know who or what I'm dealing with. I'm doing everything I can to de-escalate - I apologize and move on...

Besides if I'm dealing with a drunk 70 year old and I get in a scuffle, gravity will likely take him out first.

J-frame with an upside-down shoulder holster is pretty foolproof under any clothing. Grab with either hand.

Update....
After much consideration I have decided to pocket carry in the outside flap over pockets of my winter parka...easy access...without having to unzip the coat or the vest I was wearing that day.

It's been my experience that an immediate and profuse apology, whether you're wrong or not, goes a long way towards the escalating these types of situations.

And even when it doesn't, you've done everything you can to the escalate the situation

As stated prior, there are always trade offs with all types of carry.

I always try to keep my gun hand free. And I NEVER turn my back to someone that just threatened me no matter who it is.

I am unsure of your level of experience with pocket carry, but it is important to note that the gun will accumulate lint, even if it has to generate it on its own.
Consider a can of pepper spray for a pocket on the other side.

In my mind, having a weapon in any kind of holster that you can't access is kinda like buying a $7,000.00 custom made saddle and not having a horse to ride.

As an old timer once said to a couple guys that were laughing over his habit of carrying a Browning .25 auto in his pocket. "A 25 in your pocket is better than a 45 in your safe."
