What holster? What firearm? What position (3 oclock etc)? I hate carrying iwb, plus it promotes uncomfort in my back. I carry a g19 in a dsg alpha with tlr-7, owb, with a blue alpha gear belt. It’s difficult for me to conceal in just a tshirt.

What say he?

Sig 227 with a TLR in a Safariland ALS. Don't carry it often but I just pull my shirt over it, not really worrying about printing when I carry it.

HUGE fan of the DSG HR holster,

i have 3 of them from DSG https://dsgarms.com/holsters-dsg-1211-0020

i prefer IWB because it conceals better. OWB with this holster is so much more comfortable. no back pain whatsoever. depending on your gun yes it prints more

M&P 45c, 1911 govt, or full size M&P 40. Roll my own. I hate iwb. 3 o'clock, flea market thick leather belt.

KelTecP11. Fobus owb holster.

9 o'clock. Cross draw.

The reason I do that cross draw is because I spend a lot of time in a vehicle with my seatbelt on and if you carry at 3 the gun is basically jammed in the seat belt side and if you need your firearm you can't even get to it plus it's uncomfortable so if you cross draw 9 it's available at all times

I used to carry a G21 in the factory polymer holster at 2:30. Never had any trouble wearing a t shirt. I would just cinch my belt down tight and it hugged my person pretty well.

I’m shaped a little bit sway backed, my hips are slightly rolled forward (I know this bc I have a physical therapist for a wife). Carrying iwb causes me some back pain after about a month, same reason I don’t sit on my wallet anymore. Owb is so much better, but harder to conceal in the summer. I’m trying to lose about 15lbs, I think that’ll help with printing. I’m not fat, 190, but trimming up a touch will only help.

G19, USpc .40, VP9, and very rarely a Commander-sized 1911.

All in Alessi CQC/S holsters, the best damn OWB leather ever made.

Fobus paddle on hip since late 90's. 9 o'clock. G26.
I've got other holsters. All of them can't help but be fancier and cost more.
I like the dead simple Fobus paddle. Not even the adjustable one.

A G26 in the Glock Sport Combat holster (yes, the $10 holster) easily conceals with shorts and a t-shirt. I also conceal a G17 mag on my left hip in a Glock mag pouch.

It is the thinnest holster I've seen.

Kimber UCPII in Mitch Rosen Upper Limit at 4 o'clock. Carries high so an untucked t-shirt works fine.

G43 or G26/27 in a Theis EZ Clip holster. It can be work IWB or OWB. I usually carry OWB under a T shirt during the summer and whatever I'm wearing in the winter. I also have the same holster for the G17/G19 that I use during the winter.

Shield with TRL 6 or Baer TRS in Warbird Leather custom holsters. really well constructed from a dude off the 1911 forum. Harder to hide but it's nice not having to wear giant ass pants to get the light/laser combo in there.

G19 Gen3, OWb, DSG Alpha, 3 o clock, no cant. Spare mags in DSG mag holster on left side. Untucked T shirt or button down (usually some kind of Hawaiian looking shirt). Wore it to work once and nobody saw it...mostly because I was the only one there

You should consider a high quality leather pancake holster and a stout gun belt.

With an Eric Larsen pancake holster, you can comfortably carry a full size CZ-75 and the gun will disappear under a jacket or even a large t shirt.

The beauty of a leather pancake holster is in time it molds itself to your body.

I take back my jab, Sir. I bet that sucker is comfortable! I joked, but to be honest, I have a similar pattern jacket somewhere. Bought it in S. Africa when I still lived there. I think I had my first job interview in the US wearing it.

Close to 600 rounds through it so far, and has ran flawless. Other then a few hiccups that were my bad when I first got it. Not as heavy as a full size 1911 or as long, and comfortable to drive with. I do like that you know it's there. Bad thing or not, I don't know? And I honestly don't give a f--- if it prints or not.

For the price, and what it offers features wise, I think it was worth it.

Full size 1911 or Glock, OWB in a leather Askins / Avenger type holster (Kirkpatrick Texas Strong Side), 3-4 o'clock. Concealed by the type of shirts I wear ('bowling' / mechanics / retro / 'Charlie' type).

But I have been eyeballing a higher riding version from Privateer.

I carry OWB because I've tried multiple IWB holsters and hated every one of them. I'm not fat either. Most of the time I carry a Glock 19 in a Galco Combat Master holster. An untucked t-shirt will cover it no problem, unless the shirt is really fitted. I also carry a Glock 26 in a Combat Master. I usually carry the 26 at church where my sport coat will cover it. When I carried a 1911 for my EDC it was always in a Combat Master. I've never had any problem with the half dozen or so Galco holsters I have. When I'm on security duty I carry a Glock 17 in a kydex holster made by our fellow Arfcommer goodmedicine. I have four of his holsters, three for my G17 and one for my G21.

It's easy for me to conceal OWB because in the summer I wear a t-shirt untucked 99% of the time. In the cooler months a light jacket keeps my EDC covered. I also carry with the holster around the 4:30 position, and all my holsters have a forward cant. The belts I use are a leather belt with the inner stiffener by Beltman and the enhanced nylon belt by Ares Gear. Your weapon will not roll over on that belt. As a matter of fact, if you run out of ammo the Ares Gear belt can be used as a weapon. That sucker is stiff, not to mention the buckle could crack a skull.

For concealed, but OWB carry I use the Raven Concealment Perun with my Glock 19. I was using the original Raven OWB holsters long before that.

BHP, in Privateer Leather. Conceals just fine in shorts and a t-shirt.

I conceal a walther PPQ on up to a full size Beretta 92A1 OWB with a Desantis thumb break belt scabbard with just regular sized button up shirts, not some giant "gun guy" safari or Hawaiian shirts either. Im just normal sized not fat or super skinny. Sometimes with just a t shirt if I wanna crank my belt an extra notch.

Oh yeah, always strong side on the dimple of buttcheek.

I prefer OWB unless I really need deep concealment. For OWB I use a Raven Phantom G19 holster and carry either a G19 or G26 in it at 9:00 (lefty). With the G26 I can carry with a loose t-shirt and not really print. The 19 prints a bit but is fine in most situations. When I feel like I can’t be noticed at all I’ll carry IWB.
