Re: IWB or OWB?
I'm not a small guy.
I am 5'11 (yea, not WAY tall), but I do go 270lbs (42" waist is snug... at best).
From all I have read on IWB/OWB, it seems that with IWB, while it conceals better, you have to look at pants that are over-sized so the holster and pistol can be inside the pants.
Now with OWB, you have to have oversized shirts to cover the length that is on the outside.
I am really torn on which route to go here.
Do I want to have to buy all new pants, jeans, dockers etc, or just buy larger shirts?
How about some responses from some bigger guys on
OWB or IWB as their preference and why?
To whichever side you are on, what are the tricks you have learned to conceal?
If you are using oversized shirts for OWB, how much larger than normal?
If you are using oversized pants for IWB, how much larger than normal?
I would also be interested in a demo picture of how it looks with OWB or IWB, as I haven't seen any.
I have looked at the Crossbreed, Comp-Tech, Blade-Tech, and while they all show the holsters, none show how it looks on the person.
Wow, I really convinced myself I could just buy a holster and be good to go, but the more I study, the more confused I am
Thanks
