Anubis - well yes - the impression certainly is that the gun ''is out there'' - tho to be honest I think part of that is just the impression we get. True if masked by pants per IWB then everything conforms more to general dress contours.Feels like it sticks out a mile...
Having OWB'd so long and exclusively (apart from just trying IWB early on) - I do find that cover does need to have some degree of ''voluminosity'' - that tho I think depends on individual build and the actual clothing. In my case that requirement is really quite modest - right now it's a cinch as I may have on a large padded shirt, open at front.
Even summer tho - very light weight shirt, again open - and also my Smith and Alexander vest - used a lot for biking.
I guess I am a bit ''enthusiastic'' re my OWB liking and still accept how good IWB is for many - but honestly feel that OWB is still very viable, as well as more comfortable (IMO). My Defender rig (as I think pics have shown when I posted them), holds really tight in - gun butt is touching my lower ribs and the ''swell'' from rest of gun is very small, to me anyways.
Some friends (now close friends) were staggered to learn, after much biking and general time together, that I carried, and a full size at that! It has to be working. They are now carry converts too!
