Re: IWB holsters and pant sizes

I too am at 34" waist and notice that the jump to 36" seems like they were built for "Omar the Tent-maker."

I think a lot of it has to do with where the holster rides around the waist. I've noticed that once you get behind the hip bone and between say 4 o'clock and small of back, the less room is needed in the waistband. I think this is because of the way the spine is naturally recessed in the back above and between the hips. In fact, I carry a combat commander in a high noon IWB at about 5 o'clock WITHOUT upsizing my jeans. But, I tend too wear them a little loose in the waist anyway. When I carry the Kel Tec P11 with belt clip, it absolutely disappears.

At first I was trying trying to wear the IWB too far forward. Not only did I look like I had a growth, but it was not comfortable at all. A little more experimenting, and I found the sweet spot, Comfortable and the pistol disappears...
