The lady is packing a Russian Makarov. Seen in an outdoor restaurant somewhere in Tennessee.
I would be concerned someone could walk behind her and grab it.
It's in a retention type holster.
Others can do as they will, but I prefer concealed carry.
Single stack IWB apendex concealed carry is my preference after trying many concealed carry variations.
And kidney carry is good for what situation?
Getting robbed.
Bad guy:
"Gimme your wallet!"
Me:
Places non-shooting hand forward towards the bad guy
"Ok, ok. It's in my back pocket."
Reaches for pew-pew instead of wallet

My wife wont let me open carry. Says it makes me a target. She says shed rather me end any incidents than be at the center of them.
Me too.
Nice! I love our state so much.
HI BUD! Imagine meeting you here!
She's got balls doing a 5'o'clock carry sitting on an open back bench ill give her that !
Merica! Was probably church service
I think that's why all the men in my church service wear suits and ties.
I love living in Tennessee.
I dunno about the rest of TN, but Nashville is a liberal cuckhole (it felt more liberal than socal), and Memphis is very dark.
Yup on both counts. I live in East Tennessee, in a red county (with a great county mayor) that has a blue city in the middle of it... with a TERRIBLE city mayor. When TSHTF, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the city limits.
I don't know guns but surely wearing it there just invites nutters to grab it?
Not really, that specific style of holster requires a very specific type of grip. you have hold in a particular way to be able to flip off the strap at the top and unholster the gun. Grab it from any other angle, and it's pretty much impossible to tug it out of the holster.
It's the same basic style of holster that police use to prevent their guns and backup guns from being stolen.
Most modern OWB (Outside the Waistband) holsters have some kind of mechanism like this (or some other kind of retention mechanism, like a button that can only be depressed when held from a specific angle) that prevent firearm theft.
Correct... these holsters were first introduced for law enforcement and military use, but the idea caught on and that design is now available in the civilian markets as well. I see them at gun shows all the time. Now to be sure, people do choose to open-carry, but I prefer concealed carry in keeping with my "gray man" philosophy. Be invisible, don't call attention to yourself in manner of dress, don't wear clothing with NRA or gun brand logos, avoid crowds, and blend into the background. But also be one of the most dangerous people in any situation. https://www.thebugoutbagguide.com/gray-man-theory/
Agree with this 100%. Visible weapons show your limits and also time differentials in a situation. With her back holster and gender, I am guessing 2-3 seconds holster to fire. Side arm on hip especially with the shape of a womans hip would be a much faster draw for her
It is a nice gun though
Open carry says “shoot me first”.
Typically yes. If you are in lefty bangerville. If she is in a highly armed high trust area, it does provide a lot of deterrent value. The satanists are normalizing pedos and transvestites by shoving it in your face. If everyone is visibly wearing a gun, then it normalizes it for the next generation so they are not hysterical. How many cop shows claim they found an unregistered firearm. They are teaching people that a gun registry is normal. We must be on offense or each generation gets worse
Yes, the Makarov is a superb weapon, especially in 9mm Makarov. They introduced some in .380 (or 9mm Kurz) but I think that round is not worthy for self defense. The Makarov was a Soviet copy of the German Walther PPK, it breaks down and reassembles the same way, but the finish is less elegant than a Walther. But it reliably goes BANG, and I'll take that over cosmetics any day.
The Makaov became standard issue in Warsaw Pact nations under Soviet influence and can be found still in use in those countries. It's a nice double-action auto that can be easily controlled by almost any shooter, male or female.
If you decide to get one, go for the ones chambered for the 9mm-Makarov ammo; it has a higher muzzle velocity and stopping power... IMHO of course.
Another recommendation if you choose to carry a makarov specifically.

MUCH more ergonomic and faster mag changes when the mag release is in the same area literally every gun since the 80's has had it. Makarovs are good, don't get met wrong. But the butt bag release is it's one downside.
Luckily someone fixed that with a set of ergonomic grips.
That's precisely why I quit carrying my Mak, that annoying butt mag release. But in a pinch it will do.
And thanks for the link, I may have to get one of those.
No problem.
Oh, yeah, I don't discount the little .22, especially the magnum version, but the .380 (in my personal opinion) is a "mouse gun" round. Either go all the way to 9mm Parabellum or go with .45 or a .38. A .380 used to be my daily carry piece, but I grew out of it. But yeah, a .22 in the right hands can be lethal.
Don't know about a retention holster, but that is where I carry (concealed), and I can get first shot on target in 1.5 or less. Honestly not sure how gender (either of the two : ) ) enters into it.
Comfort basically. For example, most people tend to either carry on their hip, or their appendix. The hip is the go too for most people, but at the same time there IS a difference between male and female. It's much more common for men to wear loose and baggy clothing that's "breathable". Ergo, putting a gun on your hip is much more comfortable and ergonomic for a man since he has more leeway in his pants to make room for a gun.
Contrast this with women, who tend to wear more form fitting or "skintight" clothing. Not as much room anything with an actually concealed holster/gun.
Likewise, for those that choose appendix carry, women tend to have a bit of an advantage over men. Given it's location, women can more comfortably carry a gun and holster since they don't have to worry about their genitals like a man would.
Ever sit for a few hours with a 3 pound gun grinding into your groin because you wore pants that were just slightly too tight when you added the gun into your ensemble?
Yeah, not a fun time.
So yeah, gender does make a difference when making these considerations. It's why there are whole companies dedicated to gender specific conceal carry wear. I really don't know how it works, but there do exist yoga pants, leggings, skirts, etc. for women that have some form of sorcery cast on them to enable them to hide full size 1911 or glocks without it printing.
Blows my mind, but they exist.
Likewise, there's men's wear that's designed to take advantage of the "looser" styles that men tend to favor in order to basically carry around a small armory with you. (I've seen some coat, shirt, pants combos that basically let you carry enough guns and ammo to arm a small squad with a full size pistol and a couple hundred rounds each).
So yeah, gender is a factor in these things. It's not something people tend to think about, but the differences between men and women (even small differences like difference in dress styles), tends to result in unique patterns that make them different.
Thats all good and true about the holsters but I just want to add that all it takes is one dude with a gun to put his to the back of her head, then he easily has a second gun. I would never open carry for this reason. Also, have gotten crazy stares from random citizens for open carrying in the past, it just draws too much attention .
Nutters don't need to grab other people's guns. They get their supply free from the FBI.
No it does not.
Criminals can't resist the possibility of a free gun. I have seen many videos in which a bad guy grabs at a gun just because they can. Someone mentioned the retention holster, but it would at the very least turn into a wrestling match. Hard to use it for protection in that situation. I heard a specialist say that anyone carrying open is just a remote holster for him should he decide he needs your gun.
Ah yes, the "specialist". I don't really give much people any credit. If what they said was true, then why does literally every single officer of the law (Police, FBI, CIA, SWAT, Marshall Service, Rangers, State Troopers/Equivalent, etc. etc.) as well as the military carry openly?
Because 99% of the time it doesn't happen that way. I'm not saying it NEVER happens, because it does. But for most people it'll never go down like that. And even if it does, most people who carry will typically have SOME form of backup on them. Whether it's another, smaller gun hidden away on their person, or a knife, or even just one of those really heavy flashlights, there's usually a backup.
So if nothing else, during the "struggle" the person with the gun still has the advantage since they have multiple options, such as stabbing them or beating them to near death.
Besides, if nothing else, the "struggle" will end pretty fast once they realize they can't get the gun easily because of the retention holster. Either because they flee, or someone nearby attacks them to help the gun owner.
The person she’s with would let her know someone’s approaching close. Wouldn’t be a surprise grab and run.
Ya, cause I've never seen videos of people grabbing cops guns. Cops deal with that all of the time in training. Odds are she has not. I have not. I think about it, and I plan for it, but I am not trained for it. I assure you that a determined criminal can get that gun. And a "specialst" is also trained. Intensely on just such a skill. I don't know if you have ever gone toe to toe with a Seal or a Ranger, but if you do, my money is on the "specialist".
RET MIL...That is EXACTLY why I do NOT broadcast...9mm H&K w/close side body holster hidden with loose pullover...
What is that animal at the top of the screen? He's got some serious teeth.
That is a wolverine, a mammal that is mostly found in Canada and parts of Alaska. It's a feisty animal that will fight and bite with ferocity when cornered. The blogger of "Knuckle Dragging" uses that photo as sort of a totem or spirit animal that matches his curmudgeonly personality. And I concur, I'm a bit like that too.
p.s. They have nasty personalities too, but they used to be trapped for their fur. They might still be, I don't know much about modern trapping and the fur trade; but back in the late 1700s to early 1800s, wolverine furs were much sought after.
