IWB or OWB - Page 2

retsupt99 · October 5th, 2007, 10:44 PM

I do have OWB's and a shoulder rig, but I prefer IWB's above all others...I have 2 doz+.
My IWB's are the only thing I now feel comfortable with...

Lets see. Always pocket carry, sometimes OWB, IWB and Smartcarry. So it depends on the needs.

So, I guess, if it feels good-do it

Now you know why we all have a B-I-G box of holsters!

Unfortunately, it's a personal thing you'll have to work out. If you have any CCW friends, try some of their holsters just to get an idea what you might like.

My favorite holster is the Milt Sparks VersaMax-II IWB holster but I also use others from time to time.

big box of holsters... amen brother.

after only a couple of IWB holster, i picked up a don hume OWB. where was this 3 holsters ago? my glock 19 conceals under an untucked shirt or jacket just as easy OWB as any of the IWB that i had. unless i'm trying for a tuckable, i can't tell the difference with a cover garment or untucked. however, the OWB is much more comfortable and i don't have to upsize belts or pants.

OWB at 2:30 for me. I'm 6'4 and 230 though. Pretty easy for me to conceal most anything. With the right shirt an xD9 Service disappears.

Try both for a few hours each if u can and pick whats most comfortable. Some people will try something on that conceals well and seems comfortable in the moment, only to find it painful after a FULL day of carry...
