Ok here it goes I need help I am a new to CCW and yes I have been shooting ALOT. So here is my problem Holster carry. I carry a Kel-tec P-32 in my waste band now but I own a Glock 26 and an Old Rossi 88 38SPL and the only way I can comfertly carry these guns might be ankle or center of my back. My every day dress for work is a polo shirt and Kiki pants and yes shirt tucked. One more thing I am what people call fluffy guy. So any suggestion please. I have tryed inside waste carry with the glock and dam it hurts. Thank you for any help here.

I wear a crossbreed with a Kahr PM-40. Tried one with a Glock 23 and it was still too thick, especially when tucked.

Might take a look at http://www.kangaroocarry.com/

I have one and they work well for casual office clothing.

IWB carry of an average sized pistol typically requires pants about 2" bigger in the waist to make room for the gun. If you're trying to stuff the glock in pants that are already snug... it'll get uncomfortable pretty quick.

There's a wide variety of tuck-able IWB holsters. All kydex, kydex/leather, all leather. The prices vary as much as the styles.

I strongly recommend against small-of-back (SOB) carry. Slip and fall on the gun one time and you'll know why.

That said, I carry a PT145 in a crossbreed supertuck at 4:00-ish. I'm not a big person and it conceals fine.

Tucked shirt is tough. Lots of folks claim this or that tuck holster is great for concealed carry. But shirt has to be bloused just right, shirt tails don't stay perfectly tucked with movement, etc. And certain movements, like bending over, often make a heater stick out like sore thumb to anyone aware enough to see it.

An untucked polo/golf shirt can cover very well, though, as long as it's not overly snug.

I'd suggest pocket carry with the small gun, easy peasy. Or you could bump up to slightly larger, like Kahr PM/CM or similar size. But if it's mission critical covert at NPE (non permissive environment), you won't beat pocket carry, and even then, tight pants don't cut it.

Maybe you just need the right pocket holster and pants with slightly deeper pockets. Kydex holsters are way thinner than leather and can be designed to stay very stable in your pocket while hiding the contour of the pistol. I've got a Glock 27 in an aholster kydex pocket holster right now. I carried full-size all winter, but now it's too warm for me to keep a sport coat on all the time. All over the interweb, you'll mostly read that baby Glocks are too big for pocket carry. I guess I just don't agree with most people on this. I'm about 1/4" under 6 feet and 160lbs and wear pleated dress slacks. To answer the obvious questions: 1. Yes, you can tell something is in my pocket. 2. No, no one has ever asked if it's a gun, it looks square and I have a hard metal business-card holder and an android phone in my other front pocket most of the time. 3. Yes, the gun is a little heavy, I find a well-constructed belt helps with this even though the best doesn't touch the holster. I'm self-employed so I might be a little less concerned about printing that some folks but I'm convinced that many people don't think twice about a square shape in your pocket, maybe because so many people carry large smart-phones these days. The baby Glock may not be quite as light, or dissappear as easily as my Kel-tec P3AT; but it sure is a lot more comforting to me...

Also, I also have a Supertuck, but I prefer pocket carry when tucking my shirt in and I don't have a jacket or sport coat.

this is the last IWB holster ill ever need.......I use one for several guns and its suede

padding is way more comfortable than any I have tried so far

And you tuck it?

That big ole black clip is rather a dead giveaway in a NPE, no?
