Something else to consider might be the position you wear it in. 4:00-4:30 might help avoid the love handles. You might also check out gun-works.com. They have a very well made IWB holster which has both a large sweat shield and adjustable cant. They can deliver it to you in about a week.

Look around and you should be able to find one.....
Shoot well and god bless

Thanks! This project will stretch into Thanksgiving. The weather is breaking and I'll be going back to OWB for a bit. After hunting (4-legged critters) season, I'll get back to getting a good IWB with a skin guard large enough to cover the hammer and the beavertail. Great suggestions and feedback from everyone. A hearty THANKS to everyone!
