Here's my thoughts: the CBST is designed to be comfortable with a much larger gun. If you design the system to carry something bigger, and you end up carrying something smaller, it's all that much better.

I carry my full sized SP2022 in one, and it's great, but when I do put on my wife's (smaller gun, smaller kydex, but same sized leather), it feels diminutive by comparison, and just melts into the side like it should.

So yeah, mine is comfortable, but my wife's is ridiculously so.

That's awesome. I chose the PK 380 because I will be carrying at work and I lift, crouch, sit, reach, etc, very frequently at my job. Plus the pistol didn't have a bad price on it. I paid $431.92 for the pistol and $45 for the CBST. I found it second hand and had been used very minimal so I took it. I priced the same holster online and it was around $94 shipped.

As others have said...get a good quality gun belt. I got mine with the velcro loops already sewn into the inside of it, and my CBST has the velcro hook clips. You can't see it at all once I put it on, because no part of the clip is exposed.

What are other pros of a gun belt? I can draw with ease with my current belt and my clips do not show because of my work shirt length. I can see going to a casual or dress up event, but for your everyday civilian life (like mine) what are the pros?

I don't know if this is in the right section, but I recently purchased a Walther PK380 and a CrossBreed Super Tuck (horsehide) holster to carry with. I haven't acquired my license, but I have to say that this combination is ridiculously comfortable. I have crouched, laid down, sat, reached, you name it, it is comfortable. I know other opinions will surface, but this combination is going to work for me. The famous wally walk will be a breeze I can already tell. The problem? This has amplified the WANT for my plastic. Just thought I would post for anyone that may be on the fence with this particular combination. The state has had all my information since 5/12/14. The wait continues.
