Yes, this question has been asked a lot but, that's OK.

I would suggest that you try carrying OWB first at about 3:30 0'Clock under an oversize dark colored cotton T-Shirt. For maximum comfort try that first. Directly behind your strong side hip. Ideally your holster should have at least a 15 degree cant/rake to keep the butt more up than out.
If you normally wear a large size T-Shirt then buy XXL. Because even pre-shrunk all cotton T-shirts still shrink a bit.
You should buy High Quality Double Weight 100% Cotton Ts.
You also need a GOOD gun belt.
Buy a custom leather or other very high quality holster from one of the top makers & that will pull the firearm butt in quite close to your body.
IF for any reason it does not work out for you (since everybody is built differently) then you can sell that holster on DefensiveCarry for nearly what you have into it and you'll only be out a few bucks.
If you buy a cheaper crap holster then basically "you're stuck with it" and you'll be out the total amount that you spent for it.

You should be able to conceal a full size firearm that way. I can and do carry either a Colt Combat Commander that exact way or a SIG P220.
Just buy your T-shirts big - heck oversize Ts are great for summer anyway. They are nice and airy.

Also if you buy your shorts from either 5.11 or Rogue then the belt loops will be positioned in locations that are great for 3:30 - 4:00 carry. Plus you'll really appreciate the extra pockets.
These are the shorts from Rogue Elite. Their banner is up on the forum.
