treadlightly wrote: The Aliengear tuck holsters have sort of a neoprene surface against your body. It's got enough traction you don't have to wear your belt quite as tight, which is good, but I don't know how well the stitching will last around the edge of the neoprene. I probably shouldn't worry. Mine are holding up.
Not the longest test around, but I wore one for probably 18 months, and the stitching never came loose. That is wearing it almost every day, and soaking it in sweat during the summer.

Re: Best IWB Holster for "chunky" aka "fat" people?

I'm 130 pounds overweight. I carry around 3:30 with a Raven Concealment Eidolon. However it is only for non .45acp Glocks. So not for what you have, however I mention it as it is possible to carry closer to the hip with the right holster.

I used an Aliengear 2.0 and it worked well for me in the position you are describing. They have good prices, and they do stick by their claim for free shell swaps. I switched the shells on mine several times as I traded around carry pistols. I also used one by D M Bullard in Azle, TX and he does good work. Leather so I would recommend an undershirt in the hotter months. For me at least the sweat and leather on bare skin irritated my skin.
