Appendix carry red dot guys - do you manscape?

[nucular]

I finally switched over to a red dot on my carry gun not too long ago. I appendix carry and I am a relatively hairy dude. Maybe it is because I am fairly new to pistol optics so I have been dry fire training my draw quite a bit lately but I am constantly cleaning little hairs and lint out of the optic. I'm about ready to shave that area down. Am I the only one and is this just a first world problem

Every real man that carries a gun shaves everything below the shoulders that way there is less wind resistance. Helps us move supa fast.

Oooooh. Is that where the term 'high speed low drag' comes from?

No that refers to how fast people run towards short drag queens.

Wear a t-shirt under it. Problem solved. And your exterior shirt will stay fresher longer. Double win.

Multiple twigs? That escalated quickly.

I’m not skinny, carrying a few extra around the belly. Relatively new to appendix carry, 1 year maybe. Had a generic holster, but got tired of the pain when bending over. Made my own holster with a tall enough “sweat guard” to keep tender belly parts (also known as retention device) off the gun and parts. Seemed to help keep it cleaner too. Not that I shed as much as you, just lint mostly.

Wrong answer, newb!

Some guy put Andy's gun down his pants against his twigs & berries!

There has to be another route for him. SS disability possibly...??? Special rules for railroad guys

Just don't wear pants like the rest of us. Problem solved.

^^ I carry a handgun with an optic on top, appendix style. Wearing a inner shirt helps a lot with the problem you described. Also the inner t-shirt helps cushion when in a seated position. I have a dad bod.

I found that wearing a T-shirt and tucking it in, then wearing either a long sleeve T-shirt or short sleeve button up shirt of some sort over it to help conceal works great. Never had to trim anything down there.

I do this when I can but lately its just been a single T-shirt due to the heat.
