Carrying sure takes awhile to get use to. Few local places today. Sig kinda gets heavy. Little nervous about the shirt riding up but I'll get use to it.

You'll get used to the weight after carrying for a while. My M&P compact still feels a little heavy first thing in the morning but after a few minutes, I literally forget it's there.

What I am not used to, at this point in time, is the lack of the weight there. I feel very comfortable only once that extra weight is on my hip...gun on the right, extra mag on the left.
