I tried with an OWB during the fall.  Heavy.  Constant concern about printing.  Only carried under a coat in the end.  Last straw, was out for a walk in the nature reserve with the pup.  Pup desided to start running, and as I ran too, it was just too big and havy on there.

Ended up going with a Nano for CCW.  It is fine, but I missed the DA/SA trigger.  A couple of weeks ago I bought a used NIB P239.  Yea, turns out there is such a thing.  Waiting for my IWB Aliengear crossbreed to arrive prior to carrying.  I do shoot it faster/better than the Nano, by allot!

Good luck.

Same thing here. Carry a P226 with a tlr-1 in a Raven IWB sometimes, but it's a pain to carry. I hate nanos, don't shoot them well, don't trust them in a gun fight. Got a P239 cause I really like having a hammer and DA/SA. Only been carrying in a thin Galco IWB leather holster, I like it at appendix and 4 o'clock. I have a Ranger belt and I can walk around, drive and move around great.... hardly think of the gun. I have a JM Kydex appendix holster and an Alien Gear holster on order now.

That why I like the 1990`s P229 in 40cal .   Easy to hide because of the slight height difference.   Gen 1 Blade tech IWB  with a straight drop and a full guard.


Lately been packing a HK P30S V3 9mm with TLR-1

In a custom made IWB by JM / Tony.

Based on his V3 IWB

Straight Drop , Full guard , low ride, pull the dot loops.

I carry at 3:00 so Im able to draw my pistol if driving or sitting / out to eat.

Different strokes, I guess. I'll put up with a little weight to have nice warm, fuzzy feelings. Course, at my age and condition (bad back) I ain't running any marathons, either.

I looked into a mk 25 with the intention of carrying... Ended up with a TRP instead. Heavy but I can keep it hidden easily with jeans and a t shirt.

I carry a P226R or P227 in a Kramer #3 Horsehide with a Ares Aegis belt as my EDC. They carry quite well.
