Hi all,
I'm fairly new to CCWing my pistol (mid-size steel Jericho) and I'm still in the process of getting it comfortable. One thing I noticed is that if I have my belt at a comfortable tightness, my gun seems to bob a bit, not a lot, but just enough to notice, especially going down stairs. Its probably not loose enough for my gun to become dislodged unless I'm strung up by my feet maybe and shaken. If I tighten it another notch, it cuts out the bobbing, but I can really feel the pressure on my other hip. Its not unbearable, but I feel like its past a comfortable point
Now I know, carrying isn't SUPPOSED to be comfortable, but, I've sorta noticed that a lot of the hold for my holster comes from how tight my belt is rather than the kydex and the leather backing.
So, does my belt really need to be this tight? Or should my holster hold the weapon a bit more tightly. I realize this may be somewhat a personal preference.
