YR2P
The Blackhawk Your Right 2 Protect (YR2P) initiative has been developed to provide some guidance for new and experienced gun owners; to help you and your families feel confident, prepared, and protected.
We aim to educate new firearms owners on the various carry positions and help identify which carry position is right for you. Take a look at the carry positions below.
OWB Carry Options
The OWB Hip Carry is the perfect solution for those who are looking for a way to carry their firearm while still having the ability to move quickly. This carry position leans heavy on speed and light on concealment. Concealment can be achieved by wearing a light jacket or untucked shirt, but a visible outline of the firearm will be more noticeable.
The OWB Hip Carry is an excellent option for those who want to keep their gun close at hand.
OWB Carry Options
The OWB Behind the Hip Carry is one of the most popular ways to carry concealed. This position is most common when carrying under an untucked shirt or light jacket, so it lends itself well to concealment.
When you're wearing a lightweight shirt or no shirt at all, this position allows you to keep your weapon where it's most accessible without having to constantly adjust your clothing.

IWB Carry
Hip carry has been the traditional method of carrying a firearm for many years. It is the most common way to carry a gun in public due to its ability to be easily concealed under clothing. Most people who choose this method of carrying will opt for an inside-the-waistband holster that can be worn on either side of the body depending on their dominant hand.
IWB Carry
When concealment is valued over speed and efficiency of draw, IWB Behind-the-Hip Carry position is a good choice. This position offers a deep concealment method that can be used as an alternative to say pocket carry. The draw from behind-the-hip allows the wearer to access the handgun without revealing it. The IWB Behind-the-Hip Carry position is best suited for smaller handguns that are easier to conceal.
IWB Carry
Appendix Carry is a more advanced method of carrying a firearm. The holster and firearm are near the center of the body, which allows for fast drawing and easy concealment.
Appendix Carry requires training and practice to become proficient at, but it's also one of the fastest ways to draw from concealment—so if you're looking for a position that will let you respond rapidly in an emergency situation, this may be right for you!
