Yeah really I figured out how to make it less painful. But not being able to ride the bike and have things easy to get to and in the way is an issue. I am shaped like a piece of paper lol. A stick of gum sticks out on me. The shirts are loose and I wear my pants pretty close to my waist.
A note on those wrb holsters. They are OK my only issue with it is it doesn't cover enough of the gun. The bang switch is completely covered but if they would make them to go to the end of the slide so the grip serrations weren't rubbing and the (in my case) the safety was covered it would be pretty nice. These are made somewhat one size fits all for either left or right handers though and at 20 bux it was not a bad deal just for starting out.

Re: Thoughts on what to carry for small framed people.
Something else I just thought of this would never work out when I ride my motorcycle. I ride a cbr and never could lean forward to reach the bars. Matter of fact doing so just seems like a good way to end up shot in the groin. Lol. Oh well worth trying and yes for the most part it is very concealed and the draw is awesome. So don't everyone shun this for what I am saying try it yourself. Its still an option that may work for many just not myself.

Re: Thoughts on what to carry for small framed people.
Snatchel. You still have a thicker frame than myself. I have to say I own one of those wrb holsters and just went and tried AC and no way. I have this large lump in front of me now. Lol. Now I will admit that you are going to have a tough time seeing it but this is a little p238 not even a double stack sub compact like my glock. I will fool around with it but sitting here right now is downright painful I have to lean back slightly. I am still thinking about sticking to my owb at 430. But I do see an advantage in the draw from AC.

Re: Thoughts on what to carry for small framed people.
I do think single stack is the way to go. So many of them are dao and I really hate dao. I love my little sig p238 I know that they are coming out with the p938. Just been waiting to see one available for purchase. Next options are not cheap that I have looked at. Also even though I do own one I don't really like polymer framed guns.

Re: Thoughts on what to carry for small framed people.
The weight is alot but I know a nice belt will help that issue alot. I do wear a forward cant with both the block and the sig. It seems to get the hand grip in closer and narrows the profile of the gun. Seems a medium weight dark colored shirt hides best. I am not a huge fan of iwb though. It really digs in. The only other thing is I keep my wallet in my right pocket so i am going to just have to switch to the left. Its hard to get it out if i have it in my right if i wear owb. Just one of those little things I will have to get used to. I am weird cause I am mostly left handed except with shooting and a few other activities. That throws the balance off for me.
Here are some guns I have considered the xd SC the g26 the emp although not sure I want to cough up the dough for it. Really trying to stick to the 9mm hate having lots of different ammo around. Been there. If i were more patient I would wait for the p938 so i could see how performs. I have looked at a ton of 1911 style options cause I really like it. But not too many in 9mm unless I go custom and spend crazy money. I like the kimber but I feel you pay alot for the name. Although I did pay 500 for a. 380 lol. Go figure. I do have to say I love the p238. If you haven't had the chance to fire one do yourself a favor and check one out.

Thoughts on what to carry for small framed people.
OK lets start with this. I am just downright skinny. My normal dress is blue jeans and either a polo or t shirt. Nothing too tight as I don't need any help to look super thin. I am 6ft and 150lbs. Now I can conceal my p238 worn own all day long. But I would like to get something different looking at a Springfield xd sub compact in 9mm or I could take the g26 from the wife. What do our small framed members like carrying and why. No pocket guns or anything smaller than 9mm.
