Are these young Asian women that randomly show up to your house asking to rent a room?quite often women just come up and ask if I'm concealing a full size pistol, with a silencer
I have heard that happens.

That's a man that could conceal a Puckle gun at his midline.
We both know I'm more the young, fit type, thus the Shield. Something more like this:
As far as I know T-rex isn't to far off, but I've also never carried one to know. I personally have been using this with a surefire x300 light mold with custom multicam in black. After all said and done I believe it was about $120-$130. WITHOUT the light and cool guy colors this holster is about $70 - which is an excellent price point for this holster. I have several of the customized ones with mag cars that run me $160+ and I don't even use them. These Xiphos have been killing it.
Tier 1 Concealed
- Non-Light Bearing Holsters Will Have Concealment Wing - Light Bearing Holsters Will Have Concealment Claw The XIPHOS V2 is an appendix carry holster that has been designed to be minimalistic, but also very sturdy and reliable. Being that it is designed to be worn in the front of the body, it...

This is the truth, I agree with everything in your post 100%. I won't even go outside my front door without a handgun in my waist - but that's just me. It's a life essential for me at this point walking out the door.

No, I cannot do that.

I'm not as much as an expert as most of the people here. My sense is that it doesn't matter what brand or what style as long as it conceals well and you can draw from it expeditiously and smoothly, and it holds the firearm securely.
I'm 5' 10", 160, fit and trim. To make matters worse, I like slim fit suits, pants etc - and I wear these things daily on my walk to the office downtown. I carry a PPK/S nearly every day - during the winter I wear a sweater or vest and use a Concealment Express kydex IWB (non-tuckable); during the warmer months I have a Desantis sof-tuk. The gun doesn't print, but I do worry about the people in the office noticing the clips. On the Desantis I have the J-hook to make it a bit more discreet. But the soft leather isn't that secure. The CE kydex hold the gun better, but is no where near as comfortable.
The biggest problem I have is with belts. I have a healthy wardrobe - and I know I'll get shit for this - at least 10 pairs of expensive shoes/boots. I can't find a good dress belt that is stiff enough - and comes in enough colors. I don't want to put a Hank's dress belt on a $2k suit.
I just picked up a Shield which I will experiment a bit with. Same problems tho.

Yes, I have OWB'd a Sig P220 roughly @ 3:00 position, forget what brand holster, but surprisingly doable.
I am absolutely not a fan of AWIB, with anything bigger than a BG380/P238.
Not out of fear, simply uncomfortable for me.

If I had read this thread half an hour ago,
I wouldn't have known what to post.
But I've been browsing a meme folder,
so I don't have that problem after all.
I couldn't even imagine appendix carrying a vag.
And then someone posted that photo of Nadler
and it all became clear.
Well, that explains Mister Lahey's endorsements...

I think the most important gear for carry is the belt. you need a proper, stiff, 1 and a half inch+ wide belt, not the 1/2" Kmart special dress belt. it all falls into place with the right belt no matter what size gun you want to carry.

sorry, I was trying to ask if you tried being bigger. failed joke, my bad.Yes, I have OWB'd a Sig P220 roughly @ 3:00 position, forget what brand holster, but surprisingly doable.

totally rock what is comfortable for you
Can’t preach this enough. If you have a shit belt your whole setup will pretty much be junk.

Why would I be kidding? I have 5 or 6 Fobus holsters and I like them very much. They're inexpensive, have good retention, and they do the job.I hope ur kidding about using a Fobus holster....
I carry a G19 every day, sometimes with a tlr7 and a red dot, sometimes just iron sights, 4 O'clock in an NSR "Yeager" holster (he's an ass but the holster is the shit), I wear jeans and a polo every day with a Nexbelt, sometimes a tucked in shirt, I have a tuckable NSR holster in the same style for that. I could easily do a g17 too, but it would print more often, I still wouldn't care much though, sheeple don't notice.
If I'm going somewhere carry is illegal or forbidden I switch to my p365 either appendix or 4 o'clock depending on if I'm gonna be sitting or standing a lot, I use a simple kydex iwb holster with a clip so I can slide it wherever I want it discreetly under my shirt. If it's a really sketchy place to carry I'll give in and throw my S&W 438 on my left ankle in a Galco ankle glove.

I have one for a 1911, a K-Frame Smith, a Glock 19, Glock 26, and one or two others.

Like this one?
I carry a S&W model 29 .44 mag w/6" barrel.
I just drop it down the back of my pants, and if somebody asks what's going on I just quickly ask where the restroom is.

They are absolute garbage, and the paddle is even worse. They are not fit for serious use.

None of those are full-size. This seems more like a post for the first world problems thread.
I guess that proves it. Guy with no belt.

I carried a Colt govt. model 1911 in an IWB holster under a T shirt for a while. I bought a plastic pistol because every day the Colt was rusty from me sweating on it. I didn't want to ruin that beautiful Colt blue job.

I carry my M&P9c IWB in a CrossBreed Supertuck.
When I carry my 1911, I do have an IWB holster for it, but prefer to carry it in a Miami (shoulder) rig, with a couple full mags on the other side to balance it out a bit. Any hoodie, jacket, or vest conceals it.
If I carry my Revolver (S&W Model 66-8 4.25") I have an OWB "pancake" holster from Simply Rugged
