Anyone else not have a BUTT?

Today I received my Crossbreed SuperTuck for my Para P13 and Gunbelt. They appear to be absolutely top notch products. I have previously carried the Para in an IWB from Galco with a Kmart belt. This setup is a definate improvement, but here's the rub...........

If I tighten my belt enough to hold the Para on my hip, it gets uncomfortable pretty quickly. If I loosen it one notch, with the weight of the gun, I feel like a gang banger wearing my pants around the bottom of my butt trying to look cool. I can almost pull my jeans to my knees without loosening my belt. Anyone else without a butt have this problem? Would suspenders possibly help?

I guess I could get out the leather punch and put in a hole halfway between the tight one and the loose one, I don't really know how I could grow an ass, all I seem to be able to grow is stomach

I'm thinking that it might be time for me to get a lighter gun. Something like an Ultra CDP II should fill the bill. Hopefully, I could sell that to the other half that I "NEED" the lighter gun due to lack of ass.

If you can pull off suspenders, go for it. Possibly a change in belts as well.

What position do you wear your crossbreed at? I have no ass either (5'7" @ 135 lbs) and found wearing my crossbreed with the left clip at almost the 12 o'clock position with the right clip at the 3 o'clock position works best for me.

If you're doing a cover garment, suspenders may be a great way to go. I do wear SPECIFIC ones under a leather vest while carrying a heavy load. Check out Perry's stuff that hooks to your belt, NOT your pants...

i have had this issue since i first started carrying, i have a bit of a gut/belly and not much of a rear end, the gun pulls down unless i get it really tight, then it hurts when i sit down, i have tried many belts. it was 101 degrees today in az, i cant bear more than a light T-shirt. so no shoulder rig or suspenders for me, so i ankle and pocket carry most of the time.

It also helps to wear trousers cut to ride high--so the band and belt wrap around your waist.

Never had one, never will. I'm just glad I can sit down. I also suggest a good quality belt. The Kmart, WalMart, and Sears 'pleather' belts simply stretch way too much, aren't wide enough, or thick enough to make up for no A$$.

If you are wanting an ass - we have a few extra ones that are members here on DefensiveCarry and we could let you have one of those.
In fact we just got rid of a real big one today.

Seriously...punch the extra hole in your belt and try that first.

ALSO...it helps if your gun belt is really stiff then you can wear it a tad bit looser and the stiffness of belt will better distribute the weight of the firearm and your pants will still stay up.

If you wear your paints under your gut, you are already behind the curve. A good IWB holster actually gave me something in my drawers to hold them up. With low pants, short barrels rule.

Try the widest belt that will fit your holster and belt loops. I've found that this helps considerably. A thin belt tends to stretch and slide down more.
