For what it's worth - I think I'm 1/32, and belong to a tribe (Delaware/Cherokee) and have the lineage all the way back. Folks in my 'tree' have cards issued by the tribe and I even got all of my kids registered - kinda a cool little history for them... Don't know anything about the DNA testing stuff...

A small amount of Indian is the origin of my username... Thanks for the advice - I had come to the same conclusion about the belt by reading this forum...

I've got a Comp-Tac MTAC and a Comp-Tac 2-O'Clock I'm trying for holsters, and then added a Comp-Tac Kydex reinforced belt. I can't say enough about the quality of these products - I think the issue is with me - a combination of my body type, clothing, etc. One other thing - both holsters seem to be better (make the Glock feel lighter) if I tighten the belt uncomfortably tight - maybe I need to get used to wearing a belt that tight instead of allowing a bit of play in it...

Thanks for the link and the clothing advice - that's similar to how I feel. I've bought a few shirts to help covering up, but that's much less of a problem than just the feeling that it's too heavy and thick causing my jeans to feel 'twisted'. Funny thing is I also have a belly band and I can put the Glock at 4:00 in exactly the same position and it feels great - I don't like carrying this way though because I'm uncomfortable with a round chambered and the 'give' in the fabric pocket of the belly band.

I may be one of them that just struggles with IWB - I have considered a OWB from Raven but I've been committed to making the IWB work. I actually have a Sig P226 (Tac Ops) as well and I can't imagine trying to make that work for me IWB - Ha! But it is my favorite of all of them!

Hi Folks...

I stumbled across this forum earlier this year when I was getting my CHL - I've thoroughly enjoyed it and found it a useful reference many times. I've been experimenting with my EDC for a few months using a Glock 26 and a S&W J-Frame - pocket carry, IWB at 2:00 or 4:00 and still can't find the 'right spot'. The S&W is usually pretty good in a pocket holster but the Glock just seems too thick with everything I try. I'm actually very interested in the new S&W Shield and probably in 40 cal. I know everyone's different, but my experience over the past few months tells me that the thinness is the most important measurement for my comfort. Am I on the right track?
