Off the top of my head
I've taken reports on 9-10 self inflicted upper thigh and penis shootings from "Mexican" carry. A butt cheek and calf shooting from SOB carry with no holster.
I've always worked out of a car, so a lot of running and guns recovered. One guy had a Bersa in one cargo pocket, a hi point in the other cargo pocket, and a rohm 22 in his sock. Another had a Glock 26 shoved down the front of his underwear.
I'm not sure is it's mostly Mexican carry without a holster, or other methods just don't result in the injuries from an ND.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.
Shame.
There's a member on here who has been in the armored transport business for his whole life, and is the director of training at his current job. His qual/training regimen is much higher than most police departments, including my own agency's contract guards. When IALEFI audited his course of fire, they actually suggested it was too hard.
I hate the fact that he and his business are lumped into the same category as Brinks, Garda, etc.

I was assisting detective on a police action shooting several years back where the bad guy had a OWB kydex holster and dual mag carrier. He fled from a traffic stop, likely due to being a felon, and was shot by "Officer 2" while fighting for possession of a handgun with "Officer 1" during a ground fight.
Most criminals do not use a holster, probably a combination of factors such as it's harder to ditch if you're a felon/unlicensed, generally cheap, and that's what their peers are also doing. I have ran into exceptions, though, such as the one above. Normally it's an Uncle Mike's or some such universal sausage sack, though.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
Never arrested one wearing a holster. IWB mexican or pocket carry. Can’t recall one with a spare magazine either. Very common to find the gun loaded with multiple brands/types of ammo as well.
The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
In my experience, vehicle center consoles, floor mats and visors. And the aforementioned Mexican carry.

On them? Waistband, pockets far more often than not. The few that were using holsters generally were more experienced street / prison gangsters.
In vehicles? Under any seat, center console, glove box, voids in doors & dash. Best spot & found more than a few there ... in the engine compartment under or behind the battery.
