This method of concealed firearm transport involves a compact pistol, specifically the Glock 26, secured in a holster positioned inside the waistband at the front of the body, typically near the appendix. This placement offers quick access and allows for effective concealment under various clothing styles.
Its popularity stems from the balance it strikes between discreet portability and rapid deployment. The subcompact size of the chosen firearm makes it comfortable for all-day wear, a key factor for those committed to carrying regularly. Historically, this carrying method gained traction as advancements in holster design improved comfort and security, addressing previous concerns about safety and accessibility.
