I am distinctly un-lanky. My body shape would be categorized as "prosperous." I can conceal anything from a full-sized 1911 or M&P45 down to a PM9 (my smallest gun) and 2 or 3 others inbetween in size without difficulty. I own a Minotaur MTAC IWB holster (after having tried a couple of others) which I like best of my IWBs..........and I never wear it anymore. If I am not pocket carrying a tiny gun, I'm carrying in a belt hoster OWB. Sometimes I belt carry the tiny gun, sometimes a big gun. It all depends.

One thing for sure is that, if CHL becomes a way of life for you, you will own two drawers full of holsters. One drawer is for those holsters that you abandoned because you found something better, and one drawer is for those holsters that you actually use. If I had a nickle for each of the holsters I bought and never use anymore.....

Lastly, as others have said, don't sweat it. It is more important to find something that you can wear comfortably than it is to find the most concealable holster. The reason is that they pretty much all conceal relatively well, but they are not all comfortable enough for all day wear. If you can't carry it comfortably, you probably won't carry it. Put it on, cover it up, and forget about it. Nobody else notices, and nobody really cares. People are walking around in a fog most of the time and have very little situational awareness; and for even those who do have it, it rarely extends to noticing if you have a bump under your shirt, or to speculation as to what the bump might be if they do see it.

Concealed is concealed. Period. Even if someone notices a bump and cares to speculate about it, that is all it is—speculation. What it is is none of their dang business, and unless you show it to them, they cannot possible know for certain what it is. If someone were so rude as to ask, tell them it's your insulin pump or a colostomy bag......or tell them that's a personal question that you prefer not to answer. Or say "Who the hell are you?" But the truth is that nobody is going to ask. Concealed is concealed.

There are three kinds of people who might A) notice a bump and B) speculate as to its origin.
1. Other CHLs
2. Predators
3. LEOs
I say "might" because even most of these are simply not going to notice it unless your gun is showing, or you're wearing a full sized Glock 17 under a skin tight shirt. People just aren't that aware of their surroundings. But the main thing is that other CHL holders aren't going to bother you. Predators are something you should be aware of.....as long as you know who they are and track their movements, you're OK. And LEOs aren't going to bother you unless they have an occasion to interview you and ask for ID.
