I'm 6'5. 280. Pretty easy to conceal. Maybe you could do that.
This is really the way to go. I’m 6’6” 275, I can just toss a 1911 in my back pocket.
It helps to be 60 pounds overweight. I could conceal an AR if I wanted to.
Not to mention when you’re that fat no one looks at you or even wants to look at you.
They actually pretend like you’re not even there.
So being overweight I guess it does have its advantages in a few things.
Smart Carry groin holster also works really well.
You just have to wear loose fitting jeans which is what fat people wear anyways.
Trust me, there’s not a person on this planet that would ever look in the direction
of a fat person’s groin. You could easily stash an AR and several extra magazines
in that location and no one would ever know it.
Funny. The truth is though, nobody is looking anyway.
This answer to the original question of the best way to carry a full-size is to just go ahead and carry it. Don’t worry so much about hiding it, just be somewhat reasonable and you’re fine.
The vast majority of people are completely oblivious, and 75% of the remainder who actually pay attention won’t do anything more than take note (because wgaf?). The remaining, extremely small minority, can go f themselves. You have a permit (and a gun), and their opinion is worthless.
What really matters is being comfortable carrying it. The more you carry, and the more holsters you try until you find the right one
for you (which no one can say but you) the better you’ll conceal it. 3/4 of the battle in carrying concealed is YOU not noticing it, because if you don’t, chances are no one else will either.
I will say a gun belt is a must though. Especially with a heavier gun. Aside from that, any other input I might give is worthless. What is comfortable and practical for one guy doesn’t mean jack to a guy who weighs 10 pounds less/more and spends their day doing different stuff.
I guess what I am saying is, go out and piss your money away on holsters like everyone else who really carries does. There ain’t no way around it. Plus, it will bring a little joy to those of us who have been through it picturing you squirming uncomfortably and plucking at your shirt until you have put in your time.
ETA: Geesh, that one kind of got away from me. I need to get a life...
