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.
I've only used mine for two days and the neoprene on the bottom side is already curled so I too question how long it will hold up. I got my Alien Gear from Amazon so there was no wait time for them to ship.

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

Well Santa decided to bring me a Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 :anamatedbanana

I wore it yesterday and it seems as though it'll be a nice comfy fit for me. I tried it first at the 3 o'clock position but it was pretty uncomfortable. I moved it around to the 4 - 4:30 position and it was much more comfortable there but the only issue I can see is it makes it incredibly hard to get my wallet in and out.

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.
Aliengear is another that I've looked at just based on reviews that I've seen online.

I appreciate the responses. Keep'em coming.

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

Any guys on here with a a few dozen extra pounds care to give recommendations as to a IWB holster for my M&P Shield. I bought a cheap DeSantis Inside Heat from Academy and as I expected for the price, I don't care for it at all. I just wanted to get something that I could wear while I shop around for another holster that is more comfortable.

I'll be wearing it in the 4-5 o'clock position as that has already proven to be the easiest for me to conceal and my excessive love handles don't get in the way. I've looked at StealthGear IWB Mini but the $100+ price tag is more than a little scary.

So lets here it, what do you guys have to offer up. :bigear:
