Re: Is there a comfortable way to carry?

+1 on having a quality holster. I'm slender (5' 10" and 160 lb). The Crossbreed Super Tuck is very comfy at 4 o'clock with my XDsc 40 S&W. But it doesn't conceal or ride so well when I wear dressy slacks...unless I'm wearing a coat in which case I can wear the Super Tuck IWB without tucking. With the dressy slacks, the IWB clips are too obvious IMO, and I can't wear the good belt (belt loops are too small). For those occasions I use a SmartCarry. Not as comfy as the Crossbreed, but super concealment and almost as easy to draw with as the IWB. When wearing a dress shirt (but no coat) I sometimes wear what can best be called a chest band (like a belly band but goes around your chest over an undershirt and under the dress shirt) that puts the gun in a cross-draw position right under my left armpit. Not as quick a draw, but comfortable for up to 6 hours at a time, and virtually invisible (even with my 40" chest).

I don't know how well this would work for me 7 days a week because my employer has a no weapons policy :mad5 . But I do carry very comfortably with these combinations on weekends, holidays.
