Tall, skinny fella that trains with our groups used to carry a Para double-stack 1911-style pistol. Recently moved the M&P9, I believe.

I'm about your build. 5'9", 135 pounds. I carry a Kahr P40 in a Comp Tac MTAC, and it pretty much dissapears under a t-shirt in my shorts. I just purchased a new MK9 for my wife, and it TOTALLY dissapears in the same rig, wearing a tshirt and shorts.

I recommend the P9 or P40 if you can handle a tiny print from time to time, and the MK or PM series if you need to bend over. I can wear the MK9 at 3:30 in my MTAC and bend over and touch my toes, it doesn't print at all.

5'7" and 135lbs... little dude I am. It is POSSIBLE to carry my Colt Commander in an Alessi PCH, but the little S&W 642 in a Bluegrass OWB and M&P Compact in various IWB's get carried the most at about 4:00 since the short grip really helps out alot from a concealment standpoint.

It all boils down to individual body shape and what you are comfortable with. What works for most folks doesn't always work for us little guys.

I'm 5'(" and 180 lb. I carry either a full size HK USP or a Springfield Champ IWB. My buddy is 5-7" 160 and caries a G19 IWB. A lot depends on what you wear. Loose T shirts seem to work well for most people.

5'8 160lbs athletic build, my EDC peace of mind is a M&P40 compact.

My prefered carry method is Appendix 1 o'clock in a Custom Carry Concepts Versaclip with all but the tightest of T-shirts i.e. uniform undershirt or wife beater. At 4-5 o'clock in a COMPTAC M-Tac with any type of shirt for the rare occasions when I print too much appendix carry.

There isnt anything I cant wear my M-Tac with, in a dark colored wife beater I dont print too bad but thats only if you know what to look for. To the untrained eye I am good to go.

5'11" 170# M&P45 Serpa at 3-4 mag at about 9 Columbia PFG shirt

The Columbia shirts are cut for comfort (loose) and seem to work well.
My mother (82yrs old) can "see" it, but she knows I carry. Carried in the store all day Sunday, and no one had a clue.

Well... Am I still skinny? I'm not sure. I think so?

I'm 5'3", and at my last doctor's appointment (the 12th) I weighed in at 106 lbs, but my waist is just a little (understatement) larger than it used to be (can't wear any of my old pants or lay on my tummy any more). Of course it would probably help if I wasn't totting a 4" long child down there who is doing nothing but growing, growing, growing.

I still carry a 1911 (either my Wilson Combat Professional (a 4" commander) or my Kimber Ultra CDP (3" Defender)). It's been a challenge as I can no longer carry IWB which was the most concealable but OWB still conceals nicely, especially under maternity clothes, but I DOUBT you want to change your wardrobe to include maternity shirts.

I've found that either of my 1911s still conceal pretty well behind the hip at the 4-5 position in a good leather holster, but as it's getting more uncomfortable to wear belts I stick with my shoulder holster a lot which provides come pretty good comfort and concealment.

I have an M&P 9c that is nice and light but a little too thick so it prints much more but it's lighter so it's nicer to carry in some respects.

My favorite on my really bad days have been my S&W 360PD. Pocket carry is great.

I can't even remember 130 lbs, and I didnt carry back then either. However, if I did it would be just as I do now ... Strong side OWB ... Always!

Sig 239 .40 in a Comp-tac Two O'clock. Conceals pretty well untucked, especially if you clip a cellphone to your belt. It's tuckable but doesn't conceal too well tucked if you're thin. I'm 5'8", 160.
