I've been going to the gym a lot, trying to get buff, and I want a way to carry my full-size without a bump that just makes me look fat. IWB does that, OWB requires a jacket but otherwise it could work; however I have to tuck my shirt which isn't fashionable.

And I am not familiar with very many vests, mostly just one by Rothco and one by Bluestone. What else should I consider?

Thanks.

90-two.

Appendix carry makes me look like I have a fat belly.

No. I'm getting a nice body and I want to show it off... And I am also going to be moving to a college town soon where there are way more women than men, so looking good is very important.

If your chest is bigger than your waist than aiwb is your best bet. If you're cruising for tail a vest will make you look like a dork unless it's actually cold out.

It's Florida, so a vest might be out then

Yeah, a vest isn't gonna help with your game.

At all.

During winter here in Texas, I use my Alien Gear Shoulder Holster with a basic fleece vest over it. Works well going in and out of stores. Have a heavier jacket if it's really cold outside, then can take it off and still have the vest to cover up.

Live in the Austin area right now, so probably could pull off shorts and a vest. If I was still living up in North Texas, Id probably use a Carhart vest.

While looks silly overall fashion wise, works for me while driving around and dealing with bulky jackets.

Google IDPA vests.   They're all about competing with realistic carry methods so I'm sure there are a lot of people using those types for daily concealment.

Just wear a button down shirt. It'll have the same effect for carrying and you'll actually look presentable instead of retarded.

Armani makes some pretty slick vests:

Yep

I carried a 90-TWO for a long while IWB. AIWB doesn't really conceal without a bump for that gun, it's just too thick. Go with something like a hybrid IWB behind the hip. I used to conceal one under a t-shirt back when I was in better shape.

Forget the vest and dress like a normal person.

I’m in good shape, (low body fat, visible abs, athletic muscular build) and have no problem concealing a Glock 19 with RMR and X300U at 4 o’clock in slim fit pants and a fitted polo.

Iwb Holster at 4 o’clock will hide just about anything if you are in shape and not a midget.

I just dress like a normal person. Conceal a 19 AIWB just fine in a T shirt.
