Get a custom made inside the waist LEATHER holster for a slim, compact semi auto (Walther PPS, S&W 3913, Kahr K9, etc) or for a lightweight small or medium frame revolver (S&W Airweights, S&W 315 Nightguard) and a proper, leather gun belt 1 1/2" wide.
You will be able to conceal in complete comfort and without resorting to oversized shirts. Your pants do need to be one size larger than normal to comfortably accomodate a pistol IWB.
Stay away from kydex (plastic) holsters and from any holster that rides on the belt outside the pants.
Believe it or not, that is a S&W .44 Magnum revolver on me:

Thanks - I'm in the process of finding a new conceal gun and will try out some different IWB along with pocket holsters. Nice to see some pics, thanks again.
Wow- I haven't checked this post in a bit. I decided, for the time being, to keep my .357 as my carry gun and invested in a Wilderness belt- makes quite a difference. I plan on getting an inside the waist holster as soon as I lose a few pounds and can fit the gun inside my waistband without cutting off circulation!
I should say that everyone's posts were very helpful- makes it much easier to make informed decisions when it comes time to actually buy....
New Question -
Does anyone carry their gun concealed inside a breast pocket of their jacket? I have 3 jackets for the winter that have inside pockets which are secure located around the breast area. Seems like a good spot but the only thing is, its near your chest. Does it matter?

Assuming a tucked in shirt, the straps would be a dead giveaway IMO.

Which is why I never, ever wear a tucked in shirt unless I am wearing a sport coat, vest, or sweater over it to cover the gun.
Even though I have tuckable holsters (CTACs from Comp-Tac) I don't want to give the observant something to see.

Definitely call Ray Cory at Lobo Gunleather and have him make you a holster for your S&W. I have two of his and they are bar none the best revolver IWB holsters around. Supremely comfortable and extremely concealable.
They are also one of the thinnest holsters I have ever seen yet they remain open for easy holstering.

Get some velcro clips. Pocket carry. Wear a jacket/sport coat.
I wear a uniform where I work. I change in the company locker room. I wear extremely casual clothing to and from work.

Guess what. I already figured out that belt loops are tells for those who know what to look for.

Is that a J-frame pictured? I'm considering in IWB for my model 36. I was thinking appendix carry since I'm thin front to back... although I just got my appendix removed so the idea makes me cringe at the moment.

If I could carry on my right and not have the handle stick out towards the back I'd consider side carry though.

Nope, an N frame. More specifically a 3" Model 29.
