I think I would have to run, it is not that I am scared of snakes, it is that snakes in general and myself have a fond dislike of each other

It is not about if I need all 28 rounds, it is about if I have a failure with the magazine in the gun. 2 is 1, 1 is none

I have checked HKPRO and while allot of the guys carry the P30, most are Kydex recommendations and OWB, I prefer leather and IWB.
That forum was the reason I bought the P30.......lol

I have to agree with the no potatoes,kinda hard, I have stuck to fish, and chicken, I am also doing the P90X, (CAN NOT STAND THE YOGA ) and it is working out.

I am not sure if I have put this in the right spot, (mods please forgive if I didn't).

Ok, here goes, I have been a lurker for about a week or so, I prefer to read about and retain as much useful knowledge that is given.


I recieved my CHL about two months ago and while I keep it in my vehicle and to and from the house I have yet to buy a holster and carry on my body.
I orgiinally bought an HK P30 due to the size and for what I thought ease of concealment, but while the ergonomics of the handle are wonderful, the texture of it leads me to believe I will be rubbed raw quicker than sliding down an asphalt hill in shorts.
Therefore I have a few questions as follows:

Who here carries a HK P30, and how do you carry that is comfortable?
I am 6'5" and 325#, and yes I agree round is a shape

How many here carry a full size weapon? Say 5" 1911 or Sig 220?

I have both and have been thinking about carrying one of the above or getting the "carry" version of the 220 or a 4" 1911, does anyone have any experience with this size single stack handgun?

Know, i pretty much have my mind set on IWB carry say about the 3-5 position, closer to 5 due to my current body style,(it is being worked on, but it is in the beginning stages.....lol), any advice on a IWB mag carrier or is the prefered method OWB for a mag carrier due to having the gun IWB?


Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
