Re: Comfortable Concealed Carry options?

Don't expect any IWB or OWB to work until you have a good belt to hang it on (I prefer beltman with the plastic inserts) - you can't tighten up a flimsy belt enough to support and pull in a gun, and still keep blood circulating. If you don't have a proper belt, you are wasting your time playing with holsters.

For an IWB, try moving the holster further towards the back (say, to the 4.30/5 O'Clock position). This conceals better when standing upright, although will be problematic if you are bending over. When you sit, slide the holster around to the 3.30/4 O'Clock posn to make it more 'comfortable'. For an IWB I prefer the shiny side out, and to insert the holster IWB next to my skin, rather then between my shorts and pants. It 'sticks' somewhat (yeah sounds gross) which helps keep it in place with a slightly looser belt.

HTH - and keep experimenting !! You may have to buy/sell a few until you get something that works (ebay) and don't forget that stores have a returns policy that often allow you to play with a holster and then take it back if it doesn't suit. I went through 4 holsters before I found the 'right' one, then three guns using that holster type.
