Holster Recommendations
N E one know of a good holster that will work for a CZ 82/83 in a 9X18mm, OR a Makarov 380?

I'm Right handed. New to this whole concealed carry. I would prefer a holster for the low back area. I hear that IWB is a good choice...?

N E recommendations are appreciated. Thnx!!

Whenever holsters come up, I always recommend milt sparks ( www.miltsparks.com ) . IWB is mostly behind the hip at about 4:00 position. Practice drawing and firining, and especially keeping your finger off the trigger until the sights cover the target.

I agree,Milt Sparks make a great product.You can also look at the line of holsters available on Dillon's Blue Press site or catalouge.

I appreciate the advice fellas. I'm new to this whole conceal carry thing. I have a makarov CZ 82 model, but finding a holster for it is challenging.

Duluth Trading makes a fire hose pant in their Foreman model that has a zipper pocket on the front right. $65 and most comfortable carry for a small automatic that I have found. I have IWB holster but it's not nearly as comfortable.

O.K. most concerns come from a feeling of inadequacy.Let us turn that around.In my case I am left handed so that gives me an advantage in any car jacking/etc. where the perp comes in the passenger door (you do lock both doors ,right?) If not then go back to square 1.Duluth makes good suspenders,I own some,they do NOT make a garment that allows easy access to your weapon.By all means do your own research;hell;it's your life on the line.o.K. for what its worth + me being left handed. I keep mine on my left hip;only thing easier is a cross draw but then one could still snag you when you were involved mentally in heavy traffic.Of course after Henry Lee Lucas we stopped picking up hitch hikers altogether.

As a silly addendum to this;in 73 I was going south on I 35 when I saw3 some folks that looked like right out of the holy land,long robes,staffs,beards,+all. under an underpass. So I pick them up;next underpass there are 2 more;on down the highway.The guy in the seat next to me asks if I have room for 2 more souls,I tell him ,hell ho but there is room for a couple of more asses in the bed of th P.U. truck.They had their folks under every bridge. I picked them all up + then dumped them off at the 290 overpass.Houston you can have them.

Norman--I could see that Duluth suspenders would probably not be a suitable garment for allowing access to a weapon. I can also see that if the zippered pocket I mentioned was on the left it would not be suitable for a right handed person. Certainly in that pocket, it is not a fast draw situation, neither is a pistol tucked inside your waistband. My inside holster is also intended for a shirt that is tucked in, I'd lose every time in a fast draw situation. I also don't carry with a round in the chamber so working the slide would also slow me down. Even sitting in a car I can get the gun out of that pocket in a reasonable time and the comfort factor makes it my preferred carry. Don't think that would be so if I were a leftie.

sorry for the delay fellas. been working TONS at work and haven't had the time to get on here in a while. I was finally able to find two IWB holsters for my CZ82 9mm, and my Makarov 380 I have. thanks to you all for help!

I’d avoid Small Of Back carry awkward draw and high risk for injury if you fall.
