I carry my Glocks IWB in an M Tac, it has been the best holster for me. Very comfy, secure, easy to draw and I got in less than 1 week.

I would agree that carrying IWB isn't the most comfortable experience in life except that I'm also reminded that it ain't necessarily s'posed to be comfortable.... it's supposed to be COMFORTING. Yeah I would have agreed on all of that until I tried my now standard Super Tuck Deluxe from Crossbreed holsters. (you'll find a link at the top of our home page on the forum) Absolutely the most comfortable and totally concealable IWB holster I've ever worn especially to carry a full size which is to say a SERVICE size handgun like a Sig P226 or an H&K P30. I have fallen asleep in my lazy boy "Dad's" chair while wearing a full sized gun in my Crossbreed. I can't say enough good things about this rig or the company. This super/uber comfy holster goes for about $65 and you can test the rig for 2 weeks and then return it for a full refund. I not only didn't return mine, I bought a second one and will possibly buy yet another. Not only is it comfortable, the draw is almost impossibly fast and smooth, yet while concealed you can bend, twist and sit without revealing the fact that you're carrying a firearm.

Thumbs up

I've carried my 1911 IWB only a few times. Not real comfortable but manageable. But I do carry my Kahr P9 in an Bianchi #100 IWB just under my right elbow. I don't forget it's there, but it's very comfortable and worn with jeans, the P9 is light enough that even a belt isn't necessary.
Don't leave home without it.

If you are going to go IWB, like others have said, you need a quality holster. Often times a custom or semi-custom tends to be the most comfortable and will last years if not decades.

I prefer a leather holster with a sweat guard for IWB. I carry an XD9sc often times 18 + hours straight in a Brommeland Max-Con and it is sooooo comfortable I often can't tell I'm wearing a gun. The Max-Con can be found at Coal Creek Armory linked on front of main page as one of the sponsors.

Here is my EDC carry equipment.


If I'm carrying two guns, the other is either a Glock 23 or a Ruger SP-101 but this photo is my single gun carry set-up.

I did forget to include the two spare magazines in the picture. Sorry, I'm just starting out taking photo's.

Also I rarely carry a 2 Oz. OC spray. That can is what I carry with the swat team. EDC is a small keychain can of OC spray.

Cody,

Get the P2000. Mine disappears in my IWB from TT GunLeather High Quality Leather Gun Holsters and it's very comfortable worn at 3:30-4:00, even the car.

As far as the P2K, it is very accurate and more importantly, very reliable. I have nearly 2,000 rounds through it and zero malfunctions.

I find with a decent holster IWB works great as it is more concealable with more clothing. I do not find it uncomfortable.

Checked out his website and his products do look first rate. Yep, the P2000 is what I am shooting my sights for. Do plan on going to a couple shops here in the area within the next couple of weeks. Am interested in the V2 with the LEM Trigger.

Do you folks buy a pair of pants that are a size or two larger? If you do, wouldn't it give you a sloppy appearance?

I have been carrying concealed for more than 30 years and have found some methods/modes of carry that, for me, are quite comfortable. One I will share with you is a Ruger SP-101 in a Comp-tac 2 O'clock Carry. Other wide called "appendix carry" I have found this to be quite comfortable, concealable, and easily accessible.

Of course, I have an excellent gun belt and that helps a great deal. FWIW!

I carry a Sig Sauer P-226 in a Smart Carry holster. It's in the waistband, below the waist line, I can draw and acquire a target very quickly with it. It is definitely the most concealable holster on the market today. I work in a job where I would prefer a great deal not to be detected as CCing.

I would suggest you get one of the FIST or DM Bullard IWB/OWB Convertibles for your new CC.
