When I first started carrying it was always IWB. Now after a couple of years I really prefer OWB. My edc is a Kahr P9. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I just find OWB with my shirt untucked works well for me. Thanks.

Dave, any suggestions for an OWB for a Taurus model 85 UL with a 2 inch barrel?

I felt like I had to carry IWB when I started. Everyone pushed me that way... but I eventually downsized (Airweight 642) and carry OWB daily. I like it better.

It depends on what I am wearing and the pistol I am carrying.

Lord, Grant me a good sword and no need to use it.
Dave,
I think I like the look of the Hoplons. I'll be calling in the next few days.

I am feeling the same way.Originally Posted by McPatrickClan
I've grown accustomed to IWB's...
I tried OWB, but found it awkward and bulky...OMO

I only carry OWB and find it very comfortable and easy to draw. Mostly leather but you may also want to consider Fobus with I also like, I prefer paddle in both styles. Just my .02 cents.

When I'm carrying my Sig, i'm OWB, 100% of the time. No worries about printing 'cause this is an open carry state. If I need more full concealment some reason, I carry a S&W 638 in my front pocket (with a holster)

lately I have been using a Wilson Combat Lo-Profile OWB. Resonable price and the gun rides High to prevent the barrel sticking out when I raise an arm. These have a breakin period though.

I also find myself preferring OWB. Getting ready to order a couple of holsters for my G27. First will be an OWB.

I actually switch constantly. Sometimes I just want a little more coverage, other times I want a faster draw. Sadly the more coverage is the OWB, and faster draw is IWB for me. Both are pretty comfortable.
I know not what this "overkill" means.

It took me a while to find just the right combination of guns and holsters to be comfortable and they're mostly IWB because I can conceal them better. OWB holsters tend to peek out under my coats or shirts a little faster than IWB.
I've actually had OWB holsters that were uncomfortable. It's just the combination of a gun, the leather, and the lay of the land (i.e. your particular hip and waist). It's a pain getting there but once you do and you can just carry, it's sweet!!
For outdoor hunting/fishing, I tend to carry OWB a bit more to keep the gun out of the way of packs, etc.
