38 s & w in the back pocket or/and 38 torus on the ankle I also carry a glock 22 in the hide-it holster http://www.universalholsters.com/ sometimes a Walter PPS in a Remora clip-less holster http://www.remoraholsters.com/No_Clip_Holsters.html and yes I am 6'6" 325lbs trying to loose another 50lbs, looking for another smaller glock to carry in the hide-it holster to be a little more carry friendly

Look at "Duluth Trading Company". They make extra length T-shirts. They also have some different kinds of shirts with longer tails and other clothing items designed to, to quote their ads, "cover plumber's butt" and they show a cartoon guy with his crack exposed. Tacky but effective.

+1 to this if you wear t-shirts. I'd even go as far as to say you might try a size under what you normally wear as they run big on top of being extra extra long. They have henleys, polos, fishing style, and regular button up shirts that are just as long too.

I pocket carry most of the time, sig p238. Sometimes IWB 1911 around 3-4 o'clock, it's the only full size that I've found thin enough to be comfortable.

So, someone here mentioned something about having a good belt. What makes good belt better than any old belt? I'm thinking a sturdy and durable belt that won't sag too much....what else?

I'm having justifying a $100 belt but will take the plunge eventually. I have a very heavy 2 ply triple stitched Carhartt belt that seems to work well the only improvement I could see would be a strip of kydex in between the leather to further stiffen it.

If you want something leather, I couldn't love the Com-Tac minotaur belt more. I wear a Ranger belt /mostly/ now but if you don't want the tactical looking nylon belt, I understand.

If you currently wear a leather belt, lay it on the ground and see how much of an arch it has. A good quality belt will take a lot longer to get the arch. The arch allows the pants to droop more in the rear for us fat white boys and we have not much ass and a lot of gut and love handles)

Look at the photos of the belts on the first page of this post and you'll have an excellent idea of a quality gun belt and why it makes all the difference: http://www.texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=67640

I'm 5'9'' and about 310 lbs... I carry a glock 19 IWB in an Alabama Holster Co. kydex iwb. If for some reason I can't manage that, I have a Kahr CW9 in a JS Holster's paddle. I carry between 4 and 4:30. Don't usual;ly have any problems concealing. I use either a Beltman leather belt or 5.11 1.75 reinforced web belt.

Gun belts are very stiff compared to normal belts. They normally use two layers of sturdy leather with sometimes a polymer material core. They leather they use is much stiffer than a dress/casual two ply belt.

I got mine from the same place I got my holster and after about three years of use, every single day, it is starting to lose its stiffness, though at the moment its still perfectly adequate. http://theisholsters.com/belts.php

Basically a thick, stiff belt will help prevent the feeling of the holster moving about too much or pulling down on your pant line. They tend to run, $50-100 but if you carry every day, they make a big difference in comfort. This is also something it really wouldn't be hard to make with just a little effort.

+1 for Tommy Theis. I don't have any belts of his, but own three of his holsters. When I replace my belt next, I'll be ordering one from him!

Having a good gun belt is easily as important as having a good holster. Supports the weight of the weapon better, is more stable during draw, etc.

You don't have to spend $100 on one. If you're just looking to try one out without a huge investment, a Wilderness Instructor belt (nylon) or a 5.11 (leather) belt are both under $40 and get the job done.

He said he DIDNT want to hear from the "Buck fiddy" crowd.

But I do agree with skinny here. I have a nice heavy duty leather belt and a nylon "tactical" belt and they both do a lot better than any off the shelf belt out there. A good belt and holster system is the way to go, not just a good holster and an OK belt.

That's weight discrimination, and it won't be tolerated! I didn't choose to not be fat, I was born that way.

You better check your privilege, thinny.

A good belt can make a **** holster workable. The reverse is not true.

Volund Gearworks or Comp-tac belt. Ares gear belts are good too.
