OWB or IWB

[Bman505]

I have been carrying for some time now IWB. I recently though, reversed my DM Bullard Dual Carry (http://estore.websitepros.com/1565531/Categories.bok?category=Dual+Carry+Holster+Guns+A-M) so that I am carrying OWB and found it to be really comfortable. The only issue I found is that I find myself checking and a little bit more paranoid that my firearm and holster is more visible to others. Carrying IWB is not uncomfortable, it can just be irritating after a while. Any thoughts or suggestion?

I agree with you, and recently did the same thing! I had purchased some new jeans and didn't try them on because they were the same size that I always get. Well, they were a little too tight for IWB, so I reversed my Dual Carry and it works great! It may take a little more effort to make sure that it doesn't show, but I don't think it is a big problem.

outside the waistband is good as long as your weapon isn't to large... there's no way in hell that i can conceal my fullsize OWB unless i have a large coat on. But, IWB it's no biggie provided my shirts not to small.

It depends on what I'm wearing. Winter time is great for OWB, IWB works better in the summer. I like my Glock27 for OWB carry. I guess I'm just sayings we need to be versatile.

I just recently lost a little weight (on purpose not because of illness) and now my IWB (Crossbreed Supertuck) is even more comfortable than before. But what this allowed me to do was wear a smaller size pants that I have had hanging in my closet for a while (funny how things shrink in the closet). I can't IWB these pants but I OWB with these pants.

Usually I OWB on weekends or after work hours. I too was a little paranoid at first. Found I had to do some things differently like hold my jacket a little different when reaching for my wallet as not to flip it back back and reveal my Kimber. Or hold down my jacket when the wind is blowing (wind in NM...nah).

I am using a Fobus paddle holster at the moment for OWB but looking into the Blackhawk Serpa.

I don't think I have ever heard of anyone not liking the CrossBreed Supertuck. I really have to get one and try it out. I have a new High Noon Holster coming, the TailGunner. I can't wait to try it out. I will write a review of it and post some pictures for everyone to see.

Yup, The SuperTuck is great. The only guys I know that don't like it are larger gentlemen, especially around the middle and the holster just won't work for them.

...The only guys I know that don't like it are larger gentlemen, especially around the middle...Very funny NMDawg. You know you're referring to me...lol. He is right. I can't wear the Supertuck because of my Supergut I put on after no smokies. I got the Blackhawk Serpa and absolutely love it. Started wearing undershirts and went up a size in shirts and jackets and carry a pretty large heavy gun OWB. We'll deal with summer when it gets here...lol.

When I first started my carry career ('04) I went with various IWB set-ups some better than others but always inside.
Around the past 3yrs. I now wear nothing but outside and find it to be the best way for me.
I daily carry a Charter Off-Duty .38 hammerless in a TA 85 Fobus paddle and sometimes carry my Llama Max-I 5" in a Tagua pancake.

Hello - I make IWB and OWB combination holsters. I use a better heavier grade of leather and my BP model is rounded and the customers that have bought it say "It is the most comfortable they have ever worn!" I make it with heavy leather so one handed holstering is easy. Please come and view my site - the combo holster will be added in the next couple of days. If you would like pictures of it sooner - please email peaceholsters@gmail.com and I will send pictures to you.

Thank you - Shannon

I need IWB for PX4 SC 9MM. Any suggestions. 42" waist.

[Bman505]

I am fond of D.M. Bullard's Dual Carry. How do you like your PX4? I just sold mine not to long ago.

There is a new design holster on the market. You may want to take a look at it especially if you tried most others

For Father's day my son bought me an Undertech Undercover Original Belly Band (http://masterofconcealment.com/pgroup_descrip/306_Featured+Products/3803_The+Original+Belly+Band/?return=?tpl=index), it is a very simple concept. It is elastic with a velro closure and some sewn in pockets. I wear it with cotton shorts or sweat type pants that do not have a belt. It is extremely comfortable and conceals my Glock 27 very well. It is very reasonably priced too. Take a look at the Demo video...

It's really tough for me to have 1 holster that fits all situations, so I have a small quiver of IWB/OWB's depending on my needs with both my Glock 27 and M&P 40 fullsize.

IWB: TT Gunleather for when I'm wearing suits and need an IWB that's more discreet than the Crossbreed Supertuck.

IWB: High Noon Holster's Tailgunner w/ clip, really easy/convenient on/off for times I'm in & out of Federal/Court buildings and various restricted sites; that stabilizing wing really minimizes the shifting around with the single clip design:

IWB: Crossbreed Supertucks for casual wear and all day comfort; these are the most comfortable IWB's for me:

OWB: UBG Holsters Regulator w/ sharkskin trim and loops, for those times I can get away with this most comfortable holster while conceal carrying:

i used my firearm in an inside the waistband holster. I sometimes used my owb but i prefered always the IWB . but my kusiak holster is the best holster i have bought, these few weeks ive been carrying my owb lcp just because the holster conceals great, theres no extra leather it makes it thin and less bulky yet great gripp.. their holster changed the way i carry.. top notch stuff.

[chrisg]

i only carry owb and iwb to me those are the most comfortable however i do prefer iwb
