For me it's not really the length of the barrel, but the length of the grip that is problematic to conceal. I'm not exactly thin, but I'm not a big guy either. Keeping that large grip from sticking way out isn't very easy for me.

Oh, and that .50GI, way cool, but gotta be expensive to feed. If I could afford the $3k+ to get one I think it might starve to death.

I'm assuming if I got the correct holster ,the leather backing would extend farther down.
Because most ranges don't allow work from the holster and most folks work with the gun on the shelf in front of them, there's a "gotcha" built into holsters that don't cover the gun all the way to the muzzle that is easy to overlook.

If you fire a few quick rounds and put that hot gun back into your abbreviated IWB rig like you would likely do during an incident where you had to use it, you'll immediately discover the issue when the hot metal beyond the end of the holster meets up with your tender skin.

YOW!... that is, indeed, a very good point!

No change here. My service size PX4 is behind my hip everyday same as usual. Though on some days I get to carry OWB with a big sweatshirt which is a nice change sometimes.
