Re: comfortable holster
What equipment do you have?
What position do you like to carry in?
Do you tuck in your shirts or leave 'em hanging

Re: comfortable holster
Okay, can't help you with OWB or overalls. There are some OWB folks here that will be along to give some feedback.

Re: comfortable holster
make sure you have a good gun belt, and if you want OWB, I like my Crossbreed Snapslide. I wear this at about 4;00
If you want IWB, then the Crossbreed Supertuck (I was 5'11" and 285, so close enough to yours) I wear this at about 4:30 or 5:00

Re: comfortable holster
I wish I could help with OWB. The best advice, like was said, have a good gun belt.
For me, I went to the gun show and tried a whole bunch of holsters. The dealers are quite helpful and allowed me to try them on. This might be the best way to test drive a couple.
Good luck!!

Re: comfortable holster
A good quality gunbelt is more important than the holster. By gunbelt, I am not talking an Amish belt, a Ranger belt, or any other thick sturdy workbelt. Something designed and sold to be used as a gunbelt. Dual layer. For OWB, I'd also suggest the kydex stiffener.
A couple names are Comp-Tac and The Beltman. There are other good names as well, so do a forum search.
OWB holsters is a personal choice between kydex and leather. I am quite happy with my Comp-Tac holsters.

Re: comfortable holster
After carrying 1-2 guns on duty and off, in uniform, plain clothes, and workout clothes, I have come to the conclusion that no comfortable holster exists. Once I accepted this, it became easier to make concessions on comfort or handgun size depending on my plans and attire for the day. You will have to decide what is acceptable in terms of comfort.
Try as many as you can and play with them.

Re: comfortable holster
For IWB, I like Kholster. I've had several and they are very comfortable.
For OWB, I've got an El Paso Saddlery High Slide and a Galco SOB. Both are extremely comfortable and are what I primarily carry in.

Re: comfortable holster
Check out http://www.kangaroocarry.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I spent a lot of money on different carry devices. I Carry a S&W 9 with 2 mags comfortably all day with this Kangaroo Carry in Xlarge size. Best I have tried. Even fell asleep in easy chair with it on. Almost forget your carrying.

Re: comfortable holster
I'm not a big guy but it would be hard to go wrong with a dual leather gun belt and an owb ravenconcealment phantom holster. Comfy would come from position and that might take a while from being a big guy. Good Luck! Welcome to the forum!!
Re: comfortable holster
I have a cheap $20 nylon holster for my Glock. I think just about any OWB holster (on a good gun belt to be sure) is comfortable, especially in comparison to an IWB holster. I just can't see spending big bucks anymore on an OWB holster. All the ones I've had, regardless of price, felt pretty much the same. I think my former holster drawer had it's own holster drawer, and it's was a lot of bucks down the tube for very little difference. Just MHO.

Bianchi 82. Don't even need a gun belt. It is a retention holster though.
