Very shorty I will have my CCW and I need a good holster. I am Not sure what exactly to try. When I was stationed in Alaska an open carry state I used a cheap uncle mikes pancake because I didnt care who saw it and being a lefty made it difficult at the time to find holsters for the P220ST and a Sig Pro 2340. Now I am in Las Vegas and need something to hide it a bit better.

I am a bigger guy 6'2 245-250 ish, not fat 36 in. waist. I work two jobs one as a Air Force Firefighter the other as a Loan Officer. I dont carry at work for the Air Force so thats not an issue. However in my other job or just out and about I usually wear Large Tshirts, or a button down type shirt (usually a size larger to fit arms and upper torso, so length is a little long i.e. to cover waist) untucked with jeans/slacks/shorts whatever the weather dictates.

Should I go IWB, I am not sure how comfortable that would be? Or standard belt holster? Do I need special belts? Kydex or leather? And how do you suggest carrying an extra magazine? Also I am considering the purchase of a P226 SCT in 9mm is there a holster I can use for all of them (P220, P226, and 2340)? Or do I get a holster for each?

Thanks in advance. Matt...

Sorry wrong area, could a moderator move this please.
