This goes back to the church security thread. Anyone with experience with a full sized gun concealed carrying? Looking to carry one morning a week, need a holster. Doesn't have to be perfectly comfortable or line/bulge free, just needs to be concealed and accessible with 1 spare mag.

Appreciate any helpful responses.

Full size, I'd go with either inside the pants holster or shoulder holster with a jacket over it. Hard to conceal a full size gun without wearing a jacket or overshirt over it.

I'm planning on a button up shirt over a Tshirt or a sweatshirt over a Tshirt. I'm okay with buying cloths to make this work

Depends on your build. I’ve appendix carried my Glock 20 and it’s just so long it digs into hip and the goods too much to sit comfortably for any amount of time. I prefer my leather kydex hybrid iwb at 3-4 o’clock. Or if clothing allows a good avenger style leather holster. I don’t open carry, just throw a sweatshirt or vest over it.

The Shadow is a little on the heavy side




OK my son runs a Shadow 2 in competition it is heavy , his is heavier than yours he said cokked and locked is the way to run

he said it is heavy but a good holster for it is for strong side https://www.tier1concealed.com/collections/iwb-holsters/products/t1-echo?variant=31311831007303

if you want to run appendix https://www.tier1concealed.com/collections/iwb-holsters/products/axis-elite?variant=17963595235399


yes you can get a big gun appendix you he just ran a G34 MOS from concealment appendix at league this week and if he uses 17 round mags it doesn't even print.

what he said is the shadow 2 has a short chamber be 100% sure it runs your carry ammo well , like minimum 50-100 rounds from your 2 mags before you carry mark those as your carry mags
they often do not like 147gr so 124 or 115

he said you need a very solid belt , possibly a Kore gun belt or Nex gun belt for strong side.

for appendix , Hunter Constantine carry belt this is what he carries the G34 on with 2 spare mags he is using a Carrey Concealment Bounty holster ( He runs this is for concealment competition not EDC)

A my late teens and early 20s I concealed carried a 7" red hawk 44mag in a shoulder holster. It was heavy and awkward but I was young broke and its what I bought for deer and what I had so I packed it. Some carry large guns but not many carry them very long.

I have been eyeballing a shadow 2 like that for 3 years plus but just haven't bit yet. Im sure its got to be very low recoil, nice single action trigger and a joy to shoot.

get the optics ready and keep your options open.

add more ounces with the brass grips and with the optic and it has very little recoil. he comes in at 55.5oz , 59 is the max for the division for an unloaded gun with empty mag
