Question for you: I have a 9 month old baby, who is sitting on my hips all the time. I also carry an insane amount of STUFF with me everywhere I go, (diaper bag, school bag, purse, car seat complete with baby...etc) Are in the waistband or shoulder holsters out of the question for me because my child cannot walk yet? I am constantly picking him up and setting him down, and switching him from one hip to another. Any advice on which holster would be best for me would be very much appreciated!

@rollandflick2 Please take a look at my "Carrying a Gun and a Baby" video. Also, consolidate as much as you can. If you are even in a fight for your life you want the least amount of stuff to mess with or drop. Drop the purse, downsize the diaper bag to essentials and put your wallet in your school bag or diaper bag. Keep track of what you use every day and if you don't use it in the course of a week get rid of it or leave it in your car.

Carrying a gun and baby is tricky but doable.

Great videos! They are very informative! Are you going to make any videos actually firing at the range?

[limalife]

Hopefully, someday.

You did one heck of a job explaining all this information in its entirety. The only thing that could be added is that the use of any polly or plastic holsters often give away the silent stealthy draw that could warn an opponent of your retaliation. Personal perefrence is non-clicking leather, Don't get me wrong, this is a woundeful presentation!!! AAA

[limalife]

Then you have squeaky new leather..lol. It sounds like walking in new shoes. Everything has it's drawbacks.. :D

That doesn't matter. It is a fundamental right in the United States of America to own, and use firearms. There is nothing wrong with owning many guns for recreational shooting and/or seld defense/home protection. You act as if owning a gun makes you a bad person, quite the opposite. Owning and being able to employ a firearm safely against an aggressive attacker makes you better than the other 90% who would be a victim and a statistic. Lawful firearm use and ownership deters crime, that is a fact

lol don't mess with her

Love all your videos very very good videos

I'm also curious, do you carry chambered or not?  Are there situations where you do not carry? Thank you! :)

[qballrail]

I respect and appreciate the fact that you are an expecting mom and still understand firearms. That may be the most crucial time to carry a weapon! You seem to know your stuff. I am curious though. Being partially disabled, I use a cane in my right hand, my firing hand and use two different types of holsters: Galco Cop Series leather and an Uncle Mike's IWB nylon holster which I used on a recent road trip. That one conceals my Ruger P89 much better, obviously. What do you recommend?

Not too long at all... nice series; I just started looking at holsters and this was very informative. Nice video, Thanks.

[rollandflick2]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Thank you so much for putting the time into these videos. It helped me a lot!

@MrsHollySue Belly bands are fairly polarizing. Folks tend to love them or hate them. The only way to know is to try. Personally my wife and I are in the hate category. YMMV.

In regards to the Kahr, they're awesome. Avoid large calibers (.40S&W, .45ACP). The action doesn't seem to like that much energy. My Mrs. has a CW9. It is just big enough to take to the range for a day of shooting and small (especially in width and mass) to carry all the time. Try (borrow or rent) one first before you buy.

love all your vids.
