Time to look for a holster...

[Bunkins]

I've been browsing holsters for my Kimber Ultra Carry 2, I see a lot that I like, it's my body shape I'm worried about....

I'm 6'4 and 175 LBS, I'm toned with no body fat, but either way at 6'4 and 175 LBS I'm built more like a toothpick than anything. I've been placing the gun behind my waistband trying to get a feel for what would work best.. The only locations I can wear it is in the 11 and 1 o clock position's. On top of it, the gun will have to ride low. The butt of the gun can only stick up about 1'' to 1 1/2''s.. Not ideal I know, but I have to work around that.. I'd like to find a leather IWB holster that has some adjustment, if there is such a thing.

I was worried about the gun size verses my body type, but there are several reason's I went with a .45.. For one, the people I have trouble with ( I've been attacked several times, I've been lucky enough to have time to get a gun out of a desk at work ) are often strung out on something. I wanted the knock down power. Not to mention living on a ranch, and doing a lot of trail riding where Mountain Lion's and BobCats roam, I wanted a large caliber gun. I often carry a rifle while on the ranch, but where I trail ride, they frown on you carrying a rifle. Otherwise I would have gone with a smaller gun...

At work, I will have to wear a shoulder rig. No doubt about it. I'm a mechanic, and loose clothes are dangerous. Work related issues is 80% of the reason I'm getting my CHL. I'm looking for something that would be comfortable for a 60-70 hr work week.



From the reading I've done, I realize it is very much a personal preference, I'm just looking for a IWB holster that lets the gun ride low, and a shoulder rig that's going to hold up to abuse, but at the same time not drive me to hate it.. I have looked at several holsters, for IWB it's hard to tell if one will ride as low as I need it to, so I'm hoping that someone here has they use and can recommend...... The shoulder rig, I haven't seen a lot of posts concerning them, as far as detailed reviews.... I'd appreciate some idea's..

i got plenty of room to hide things, so i have never tried, but you might like a belly band.

if you dont have to tuck in your shirt, most ant IWB would work.

the belly band will work but the bianchi 100 pro will work good too

Thanks for the responses. I'll look into the belly bands..

I'll also check out the bianchi too

Check out crossbreed holsters. I do not have one but several of my friend use them and are very pleased with the holster.
