| Im looking for ideas on how I can comfortably carry my Glock19. I live in Florida so normally I'm wearing jeans and a Tshirt. Can any one offer some suggestions? |

about the clip draw, and no i am not speaking from experience with one but i wouldnt trust anything that does not cover the trigger it might be a good idea for fast draw with no bulk but i wouldnt trust it Kinda what I was thinking too. I just need to keep searching for an IWB thats not bulky and lose some weight so my pants arnt so tight lol |

The MTAC is extremely comfortable. If you don't normally carry IWB, you have to realize you need to start buying pants/shorts one size larger. This depends on how you wear your pants. If you like a little comfort in the waste and you don't buy jeans and shorts that are a snug fit then you won't have to buy bigger pants with an MTAC. Your pants will be tighter but they need to be to keep the gun in place anyway. I didn't even change any of my suit pants (that I wear every day) and they are tailored. One difference is that I carry a 1911 so if you have a thicker profile gun I suppose it is possible that your pants might not fit anymore. ETA: I wear a full size 1911 in an mtac and it conceals fine whether I am in a suit, jeans and a t-shirt or cargo shorts and a t-shirt. I recently started tucking with it because it is hot as hell and I like to be able to take my suit coat off during the day. It would definately make drawing slower but it works perfectly. |

I carry my G19 in a Milt Sparks Summer Special on a Wilderness Instructor belt––––––usually with cargo shorts/t-shirt–––––––– with a lightweight un-tucked short sleeve button-up shirt over it. Very comfortable and nicely concealed.
I'm located in the Deep South where it is sweltering from May until at least October. |
| I'm somewhat thin and after carrying a G23 for a couple of years then a G19 for a couple months the G27 I had been carrying took over full-time as it prints less when I bend over or am riding my bicycle to work. I use a Wilderness belt and a Milt Sparks VM II. The G26 I just got a couple weeks ago is now my daily ccw. About all you can do is wear baggyish shirts, a good holster, and a good gun belt, and see how it works. I also sit all day so that 3/4" of grip not being there helps a lot. |
| I picked up a DeSantis Insider today black leather was only 20 bucks it fits soooo much better than what I had I can even wear it in my work pants which are tight to begin with. Nothing fancy about it the leather makes for a real tight fit but 100 times better than what I have now until I can afford something a little higher end. Next thing is I need a holster for my Ruger LCP I just bought =p Im thinking pocket holsters |

The Galco Concealable Belt Holster with a Fobus single paddle mag carrier on a Galco COP Belt has been a working combination for me. It is stable, secure, and extremely comfortable. I conceal it under a large t-shirt or hawaii shirt with shorts or jeans.
Remember the belt is as important as the holster. |
| I'm still in the break in period with my G19, Crossbreed Supertuck, and Wilderness Instructor 1.5 inch belt but loving it so far. I wouldn't go so far as to say that its so comfortable that I forget I am carrying, but its head and shoulders above the previous rig I had for it. |

I carry mine in a horsehide Supertuck. Jeans or shorts and a t-shirt all summer long. No issues at all This. And agian...this Actually, just dressed like this today 'cause we got kicked out of our offices and had to move––-Glock 22 in a horsehide Supertuck with combat cut, jeans and an olive green t-shirt, and I got talked to for not being armed. |
| I had the same problem. Ive tried the super tuck, and must be the only one on the planet that hated it. I weigh 200lbs but have a small waste and all that leather was awful, For my 1911's i love the milt sparks summer special, but for the glock 19 i wanted something that was easy to slide on and off, i found Alabama holsters , they make kydex holsters for most popular firearms, I use the offset at about 4 to 5 o'clock and it works really well with a t shirt and cargo shorts. |

I don't see how those could be more comfy then a super tuck but to each his own i guess.... Alabama IWB |
