I'm a big boy and have difficulty finding a comfortable holster setup. I had carried an sd40ve in a leather iwb holster. It was pretty comfortable but the gun and holster were so heavy that they needed frequent adjusting. Also, the holster was very large and would print unless I wore it at 3 o clock. But, at 3 o clock it was uncomfortable to sit or drive. So I switched to a shield 9mm in an aliengear 3.0 holster. The holster is aweful! It is so floppy and flimsy that it is difficult to put on and adjust. Also it holds the gun very high up, even with the clips adjusted. It is reasonably comfortable while standing but the holster can slide out of place when sitting and it pushes the buttstock into my side. I spent a lot of time researching different holsters and carry styles. Ideally I wanted to find a holster that would hold the gun very low on the waistline (under my love handles). I briefly considered buying a pair of "thunderwear" but they look a bit ridiculous. I stumbled across the Urban Carry Holster. It looks a little odd and the gun does sit very low in the pants but it looks like the gun would be totally concealed and very comfortable to carry for long periods of time.
I was wondering if anyone had experience with either the Thunderwear holster or the Urban carry Holster. I know I cant be the only husky guy who has had a difficult time finding a comfortable carry setup. For the time being I am carrying my shield in a homemade kydex holster that does the trick for now. Any input is appreciated.
