I've thought about The Answer but I'm trying to get away from kydex. Which is why I tried the Heritage. I had heard that he got his kydex parts from Comp-Tec so I figured his holsters might ride about the same, but I just can't get the adjustments right for me. Not that it matters anymore; with my new sights I can't use that holster anyway.

FYI: Collectors Firearms in Houston stocks most of Tuckers holsters, that’s where I got mine, cheaper than Tuckers website.

I'm 6'2" 320 and I carry a Sig 229 not quite a 226 in size but close.

Anyway I carry it in a C-TAC that I modified by cutting off their "body shield" which did nothing but poke and stab me, and glued a piece of thick leather on to the back and cut it to cover the hammer and other pointy areas on the pistol. I initially made this set up just so I could tweak my own holster and then have a better idea of what to look for in a good leather holster, however I haven’t found one equally as comfortable, yet. This setup is comfortable enough to wear sitting 3-4hours at a time. All I use in the way of a cover garment is an under shirt to keep the grips from chaffing my spare-tire and T-shirt 1 size larger than normal in a "Tall" cut, the tall cut really just keeps the me from exposing myself or the pistol when I bend over.

The Tucker Heritage came close but I couldn't adjust it to sit as low as the C-TAC and the body shield is too small for the 229 (looks like it was cut for a 239). I e-mailed Tucker about getting a Heritage customized to fit my needs but I never got a reply, but that was a little before Christmas so I might try emailing him again.

Here are some pics of my setup.
