G21SF for CCW?

[PLCedeno]

Anyone carry a G21sf concealed? What rigs are used? I love this gun (no malfunctions & great scores at GSSF) but it just feels like a boulder when in OWB Sidearmor kydex.

I have a standard G21 3rd Gen. I just did a post on it yesterday reagarding the grip mods.

I absolutely love the G21. It is soft shooting, lightweight and accurate. I carried it for two and a half years as a duty gun and would (and may still) go back to it in a heartbeat.

The drawback of the G21 as i see it is its size. It is basically shaped like a giant block and is a pain in the butt to conceal. When I do conceal mine I use a Tauris High-Ride OWB holster and carry it at the 3 o'clock position. It is an extremely high quality and comfortable holster and conceals with no problem under a North Face fleece, flannel or hooded sweatshirt.

I tried an IWB rig (my preferred method of carry) and it didn't work for me. The G21 is only a tad thicker than a 17/22, but that little bit of thickness makes a huge difference. I'm sure there is someone out there that can pull it off, but I'm 6'3" 215 and I can't.

I carry mine all the time. Good for summer and humid environments.

Rigs I use and would continue to reccomend are:

BladeTech IWB FBI forward cant

Raven Concealment Systems IWB

NO issues w/ "printing"

I carry a GLock 21SF or a Glock 20SF concealed off-duty. I either use a Mitch ROsen ARG, Kramer outside the pants belt scabbard, or my own home made kydex pancake rig.

No problems printing so far.

I was not bothered by carrying my 21SF. Believe it or not what bothered me was carrying the spare mag. I always carry my spare mag in my left front pocket, and the 21SF mag was just large enough to cause discomfort while I was at work all day. I can carry a 226/M9/etc mag without any problems.

I frequently carry my G21 in a Blade-Tech IWB or in the Glock Sport/Combat OWB beltslide holster; I'm 5'8" 195 lbs and have had no problems with concealment.

Best, Jon

3, 4 or 5 oclock position?

[JonInWA]

About 4 o'clock usually.

I've carried my G21, not the SF, in a Galco IWB, and never had a problem with its size considering I am 6'5" and 220lbs. I've also carried my M9 in this fashion, IWB, without a problem.

Your mileage may vary

I carry my 21SF in a comptac ctac holster (iwb holster) works well.

I'll answer for my better half since Dave5339 has apparently missed seeing this thread...

He carries a G21SF in a CompTac MTAC very comfortably. He prefers the standard clips as they are easier to seat on the belt. The C clips are a bit of a PITA. As for a spare mag, that tends to ride in a pocket, or a planner, or sometimes in a larger cellphone case on his belt.

I carry mine frequently IWB using a Comp-Tac MTAC holster. Prints no more or less than my Glock 19 or my M&P 40.

Here is a 21SF that I customized for easier concealment. Like a G30SF long slide. :)

Raven Concealment holster is the one to get.

I carry a G19 and think it is the perfect ccw gun.
