Summer concealment and PCR
« on: January 10, 2017, 11:03:47 AM »
Gents,

I am torn between the rami and the pcr for Texas summer carry.  I wanted to get you opinions for IWB at 4'o clock. I have a HK P30 and it prints due to the longer grip (between glock 19 & 17) with shorts and a shirt with a raven concealment or my crossbreed.   Any insight would help.  I have asked the rami board their opinions so I thought I would give the PCR gents an opportunity to chime in.

I've got both. The rami will conceal better with the 10 rnd mag. With the 14 round extension the grip extends about as much as the PCR.

I have both, RAMI and PCR. I'm still trying to figure out which one is more comfortable to carry! :)  The PCR will probably print slightly more due to the grip (provided that's compared to the 10 rd mags in the RAMI. The extended mags obviously print more).
Of course we all have different physiques and body shapes, so it's different for everyone.
I think what you should be asking is: What holster will carry best and print the least. I believe the holster will be the deciding factor in the decision between the RAMI and PCR.
In my case, the RAMI rides at 4 to 3:30 in a holster with a cant that has one clip on my backside. The cant is such that the RAMI almost sits with its sights on the belt on my side. That cant angle provides for great concealment.
That holster was made for the RAMI. The PCR doesn't fit in it. I have two IWB holsters for the PCR. One is set up almost, but not quite for the same cant and has two clips, one on each side. Because the holster is wider, the clip in the backside is just to the right of my backbone, while the other clips is almost on my right side at 3. (I'm a skinny guy, so there's that). Printing is only slightly more when bending over. Carry comfort is slightly less due to the rear clip being more towards the middle in the back.
The other IWB holster for the PCR is a single clip, for quick taken-on-take-off situations. It makes it thicker but narrower. A bit more comfortable than the dual-clip holster, but slightly larger.
I'm still torn which I like best. Currently, I prefer the RAMI. One thing I want to try is to get the type of holster for the RAMI fitted for the PCR (single clip with cant, again with the guns other side being supported purely by letting the sights ride on the belt). If that works for the PCR as well, that might be my new carry config.

Again, we are all different sizes, and a holstered gun is like a tailored suit. It really all comes down to the holster selection. I think both, the RAMI and PCR, conceal very well, with the proper holster.

I carry my PCR year round in an owb pancake style holster at the 5 pos with a light cover shirt you can't tell I'm wearing it. Sorry no insight on the iwb thing. that's just not for me.
