You'll never hear "I'm an obese 52" and need to lose 100 lbs!" Or I don't need an IWB holster because my gun fits perfectly between my pants and gets printed into my fat stomach!

I will go owb before i buy a 40 I mean it! I'm going to get on my bowflex right now

I'm not even hearing these guys wearing 32's. Also, about 6'3" and 230 here. Never changed the size of my Wranglers for IWB and my 1911. I guess I just let it mold to me, or into me.

6 foot, 185. I used to be 170 and wore size 32. I wore a 32 15 pounds ago (not all fat....maybe 5 of it) and I still can, but lately I've been buying 34s. I guess I'm not planning on losing those 5 pounds anytime soon.

Why not just cut the waistband on your jeans.You will be wearing a belt anyway.

Im still searching for an IWB for my G20/29. My pants are all big enough...34's....so I know I have enough room, I just dont want to spend $500 on holsters until I find the right one...

All right you panty waists...geeze...try 5'7" 220. Most in the middle. I wear a 38 in Dockers or Levis jeans. I the jean are good, but the belt "go up a size" never really worked for me on IWB...I am in the 4th hole of 5 with a Crossbreed, and in the 5th hole with my new Bluegrass. Think I will get a new one for my new Bluegrass in a real 38".

Having a drawer full of holsters is a requirement when toting a gun.

I moved up one waist size. Makes for a more comfortable IWB carry. Of course, when not carrying, the pants feel too large...

Yeah, I thought IWB was all about having a gun in holster while it was in your drawers.
