How/what do the skinny guys carry?

I'm a pretty skinny guy, like 5'10" and 130 lbs, what do some fellow skinny guys carry and how (holster, position, etc)? Maybe that's a weird question, I don't know.

I'm of reasonably thin stature at 6'0 and about 165lbs. I carry a fullsize 1911 IWB. Doesn't conceal very well under a T-shirt but works fine under a thicker shirt or light vest/jacket etc...

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

I am about 6'1" 175lb, and I carry glock 19/23 in a tt gunleather IWB or Bluegrass Holsters OWB (great holster!). I have also used a Blackhawk Serpa and I usually wear a light over shirt (in Texas) or t-shirt. I have also been known to have a 642 in a bulldog leather in the pocket.

Also Curious...

I got recommended by several people to order a Versa Max 2(Follow the link Milt Sparks from the main DC forums page).

I'm also curious to this... I don't have the best posture in the world(some BMX back injuries and laziness contribute). So I don't think carrying on my backside(4-5 oclock) is the best option, simply because I lean forward to support myself alot.

I guess we shall see though, carrying changes the way you go about your daily routine anyway...

I tried the holster that came with my Springfield(Which SUCKS btw, dont ever, ever, ever use it for real carry. It "Locks" the gun in place like it snaps into it, very hard to even get it to go into the holster, let alone come out, I felt like I was going to break the gun I had to pull so hard. With a t-shirt over the gun I could see definite print(OWB). With a button up over top of the t-shirt I didn't see much at all.

I kinda wanted to up myself to a more "GQ'd" look anyway, so I guess alot of button up short-sleeves are in my future :)

I'm 5'9" 140#, I carry a full size 1911 in a Brommeland Max-Con V, it conceals well under a cover shirt. That being said, if it prints a little it isn't a big deal to me as most people don't know what they are looking at.

And the rest of them don't care. I'm 6'4" @ 200 pounds, not skinny but certainly not fat and I have never had any problems carrying any of my weapons and that runs from a Ruger GP100, Beretta 92 FS all the way down to a 9MM Kel Tec. They are all usally carried at 3,o,clock in a OWB holster.
