IWB Carry

[Guest B_Carter]

Let me make sure I understand this....if I want to carry IWB my pants must be able to 1) expand to accomodate the size of the pistol 2) purchase all new pants one size up 3) keep current pants and restrict blood flow to the lower region of my body.

I cant come up with a good remedy! How is it done? I hear about the MTAC and CTAC and Crossbreed....but does it prevent you from having one of the three mentioned scenarios?

Those who do it....HOW?

4) loss 20 lbs.

I actually had to go up 2 sizes...I have a big, umm, gun.

[trblmkr13]

I buy my pants with a little room in them

[Krull]

You can try small of the back?

[Oh Shoot]

My pants all accommodate IWB or not.

Just makes one belt notch difference.

Main prob would be if one wears pretty snug form fitting britches, and especially if trying to tuck.

Small of the back actually works with most of my pants. I use a regular IWB holster in the small of my back and it works well. It's very concealed. It isn't as readily accesible, but it's well concealed

That's how I did it.

[Guest B_Carter]

Well... I have lost 7. But that does not quite equal XDc in britches.

IWB is not the most comfortable if your packin a few extra pounds....hence why lately I have not been carrying my 1911 lol.

OS...your lucky. One notch for me...is the difference between breakfast and lunch! Getting a heater down the pants.....gonna need some extra tools.

That's why it's OWB for me!!! I'll leave that IWB to them young trim studs. Now that the hip sockets and knees are worn-out, that 1911 feels like anchor on my hip after 3hrs. Now it's light weight "Tupperware" owb !!!

You are correct, sir!! Tried iwb with a keltec all day, ....once. I was miserable. So it's owb forever!

you run more in a day than i run in a year.....unless i end up on the wrong side of town ;)

[Guest boatme99]

Well, I had to buy new pants anyway. I lost 70 pounds. Even before though, I didn't have a problem with pant size. Just loosen the belt 1 hole. At 3 o'clock position, I carry IWB in an inexpensive Don Hume.

Of course, all this changes if your pants are Spandex!

[Guest Memphis_Malachi]

I carry IWB. XD .40 kidney carry with 2 o'clock cant. I am a good size guy 6'3 260.

I found that in the first morning it was tight and uncomfortable, but after a few days of wearing it all day, including just laying around the house, It has gotten better and now it is hard to go anywhere with out it being there, Kinda like forgetting your watch, just dont feel right.

[JPS]

The only way I'll carry IWB is with a Crossbreed holster... Everything else I've tried is uncomfortable after a couple of hours.

(And btw, I hate these guys who excercise and run.. MILES? I can run to the bathroom in an emergency - that's it for me.)

[Guest Bonedaddy]

Put it down your britches @ 12 o'clock holster free. The ladies will think you're packin' a double barrelled LOVE GUN!

[JReedEsq]

I've got a Cross Breed Supertuck. It is waaaaay more comfortable than the first cheapo iwb holster I tried. I am skinny though and it it works with most but not all of my pants.

[molonlabetn]

All of my regular pants will accomodate an IWB holstered gun... as mentioned, it just means loosening the belt about 1 or 2 notches.

[trblmkr13]

I am hoping my Crossbreed arrives soon I have a trip coming up and would like to test it out before hand
