Welcome to the forum. It's an indispensable resource.
I'm not a skinny fellow but I know a couple of skinny friends who are CHLers who have no problem concealing larger framed handguns. As Longtooth stated, quality gear is important. In my experience, if you see something that you feel would be perfect but it's just a bit out of price range... save up for it. Don't fall for the trap of buying something "close but not quite" at a lower price because all you do is pine for your first choice. After some time, you decide to go with your original instincts and buy your first choice but you already have your compromised item. Again, this is just my personal opinion!
People who are slight of frame have a difficult time carrying at 3:00 on the hip. May I suggest rotating it back to 4:00 or 4:30? I think it conceals much more effectively than at 3:00. As for myself, I absolutely love the Comp-tac Minotaur MTAC. Wildscar probably will soon post that his review of the MTAC is in his signature.
But for good reason - reading his review is what drove me to purchasing the MTAC and I am amazed at how great it is on a daily basis. So much so that I've ordered two spare bodies for other guns that I intend to carry.
Get a good gun belt. I cannot express how important this is, especially for IWB and for a thin body type. Get a good gun belt. Get a good gun belt. Oh, did I mention to get a good gun belt? I think you get the drift.
I have a feeling that like many of us, your "holster" drawer will soon fill up with some hits and some misses. See if you can find a local gun shop that will let you try on a holster or two. Read some reviews and make a smart choice. Best of luck in your search!
