I'm waiting on my plastic from Austin and am trying to decide on carry weapon/holster options. I thought I had narrowed it down to a Sig P232 .380 for several reasons: my weekend attire prevents IWB holsters (I wear fitted jeans that just won't allow), the 232 is reliable, I shoot it well and I figured with an untucked shirt on the weekends I could carry it OWB or SOB.

Am I making the wrong choice? I currently also own a Glock 17 and Springfield 5" Loaded Stainless .45. I just feel like those are too big to carry OWB. Are there any places close to Dallas that has a great selection of holsters and options for carry? I really need some expert help here.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Can’t help you with the DFW part but if you want a holster I would go kydex or some other plastic.  I think you will find they are about half the thickness as a leather holster.  The market was dominated by leather a few years ago and they do a great job but I don’t think they are as easy to wear as kydex.

I carry either a Colt 1911 5" or my Kimber 4" in a blackhawk paddle holster.  I typically wear either a dark mexican wedding style shirt or a little baggy untucked golf style shirt.  No issues.  I bought my holster at Carter Country in Spring and love it.
