Some of us "scrawny guys" may never get acclimated to carrying a chunky "double stack" pistol and decided long ago to "compromise" in order to actually "carry" all day every day. Even with a buddy's custom made "high quality" holster and my new XD-9 subcompact I've been "testing" together for the last 24 hours, it still feels like I've got a small brick in my pants. I plan to start out with the same rig in the morning, but by noon may very well go back to a (single stack) PM-9 in the pants
Greybeard I carry a subcompact XD-40 in a uncle mike's iwb holster and depending on the length of my shirt I either carry it between my belt and my pants or inside my waist band which patterns less. I have been carrying that way for years with no problems and at 6'2" 140 lbs I am as skinny as they get. The weight may be awkward at first but after a few days of carrying I was very comfortable with it and now I feel naked without the "big gun". I also have a 32 keltec for the rare occasion that I wear shorts.
