Try bib overalls and wear a belt under them with your IWB holster on it. I've been carrying that way for years and have never been made. I use Crossbreed or Kramer on my belt depending on what I want to carry and if it's too hot I wear my Smartcarry holster that will work with my Baby Eagle .40 or Sig Pro .40. It's also comfortable no matter what rig I wear.

IME over a period of many years, a really heavy gun won't be well enough supported by elastic suspenders. They'll help, but things will still sag to one side. If you choose such, the Perry brand, which attaches to the belt, and the Holdup brand (Holdup Suspender Company manufacturers of the patented no-slip suspender clip), which attaches to the pants waistband, are your best options IMNSHO, and I've used them for years with lighter weight guns plus all the other gear that goes on my belt.
The Perry varieties are all elastic, even the "heavy duty" ones except for one; that's the Industrial Original Perry Suspenders, which use non-elastic polymer webbing for the two main straps, with only the support-brace strap at the rear being elastic. These work best for me for carrying all-steel 1911s or revolvers. I will even use the lightweight nylon Occidental Tool harness suspenders for helping to support a heavy sidearm plus two reloads plus multi-tool plus keys plus other stuff sometimes! A gun on the belt supported by suspenders is basically a form of low-riding shoulder holster, and every type of support can be helpful when it coms to carrying around a three pound chunk of steel on one side of your body.

Bones...I didn't see the Perry Industrials on the link from an earlier post. Do you have a link?

I have a pair of Nocona leather suspenders that have nickel plated brass snaps for attaching to you pants belt loops. I was at Wally World checking out at the automotive counter and noticed a keyring holder that slides over my belt I reversed them and had them come in under my belt like the Perry suspenders. It makes a heavy duty setup that carries the heaviest handguns IWB or OWB.

Received my Perry 'Ruf and Tuff '. suspenders and they are an improvement over the standard mdl. I've only tried them with my 638 pocket carry so far, but they do make a big difference. Haven't tried them with my Sig 220 yet but feel they will work.
Thanks for the info. Joe: |

Joe70: I'm only guessing but I'm thinking that some of your problem might be the result of wearing your trousers low on your hips with your belt a bit loose. I carry revolvers in the 40 oz range and usually don't feel the need to use suspenders at all but when I do the Perrys of any flavor are adequate. I use a Beltman belt and keep it tight at waist level.
