The current trend seems to be "crotch carry." The pistol is carried inside the waistband right at 12:00 or maybe some slight deviation. I have discovered this by looking into the Air Marshal Qualification with its very difficult standards of time and accuracy. I get the impression that some people are carrying a full size Glock 17 AND a spare magazine in the crotch area and there are holsters (usually kydex) specifically made for this purpose. I haven't shot IDPA in a bit but I believe they now allow this method of carry too. I'm curious as to whether this is done just to be able to pass the qualification or whether people really are willing to sit in a plane for many hours at a time with a gun carried in this manner. It seems a good method of carry for those with shoulder problems but I don't see how this could possibly be comfortable. Does anybody do this as a matter of routine?
