I've tried wearing mine at about 4:00 but the slightest lean forward and the butt of the pistol prints like crazy.  I'm not sure how to fix this.  Gun is a XD9 service btw.

Sorry I meant to reply to the ctac thread but somehow I must have clicked new topic....

I had that problem with a Glock 22.  My H&K compact has  a shorter grip and I had no such problem.

Have you tried carrying it at 3:00 or 5:00?

try adjusting belt clip to change the angle--angle the holster body forward

i placed my rear belt clip on the highest hole on the clip and it canted the entire body forward to help w/ the butt sticking out

Yeah, it's already canted all of the way forward.  I think if the gun was able to go down farther into my WB it would conceal much easier.

I'm really skinny and I carry an XD9 service in a CTAC.  Try it at around 3:00.  That seems to help me.  That way it bends with your back.

Part of carrying concealed is controlling your body movements in a way to minimize projecting that you are carrying a weapon.

Carrying it more at your side (3:00) and squatting down instead of bending over are the best you can do, short of buying a smaller pistol.
