If you’re a senior, you likely know that there are several common physical issues related to aging that effect wearing your concealed carry gun holster. These physical issues can make carrying a concealed handgun more uncomfortable than it might be for the average bear. Even the process of putting on and taking off a holster can become difficult. There are some necessary holster modifications that can help you compensate for your physical issues, ensuring you have less discomfort, strain, and fatigue when you carry.
Compensating for stiffness and diminished range of motion: When you are stiff, your range of motion is limited and it is difficult to twist your torso. This can make it hard to put on and take off certain holsters. One solution is an OWB snap-on holster that is easy to snap on and snap off your belt with one hand so that you do not have to twist much. A second solution is an IWB clip-on holster which is easy to clip on your belt or pants when you position the holster inside your pants between your pants and shirt.
Compensating for diminished hand strength and dexterity: If you have diminished hand strength and manual dexterity, you may not be able to operate the slide on a semi-automatic pistol. You might think about purchasing a pistol with a tip up barrel instead. Alternatively, consider carrying a snub by revolver. However, with a revolver the trigger pull may be a problem.
Compensating for weight gain in the belly and waist: If you are built like an apple, holsters that do not snug close up into your side are likely to sag and print. To avoid this problem, you might try pocket carry.
