Hey everyone. I usually carry my Shield or P6 in an N82Tactical tuckable IWB, at 2:30 or 4:00 depending on what I'm doing (ie sitting or walking). My basic problem is that the actual gun-holding part is spandex, so with my belt tight enough to hold everything up I simply cannot reholster. Also, the clip needs to sit on my belt - on my pants directly it tends to fall out when I stand up from the car. The large metal clip is a giveaway even if I've tucked my shirt and you can't see the gun.
Another problem is that I'm basically shaped like Gru from Despicable Me. Large torso, skinny bottom half. I have enough problems with keeping pants up
I'm thinking something with two clips, and probably suede or leather since it sits next to my skin. Definitely IWB... I rarely tuck my shirt and also don't often wear a concealing coat.
I've looked at appendix carry, and I can't bend to sit in the car or a restaurant(!) that way. I'm not a huge fan of middle of the back because I can't see what's (who's) near the gun. While my wife thinks shoulder holsters are sexy, I don't like muzzling everyone behind me. So...
Ideas? Holster would be specifically for the S&W Shield 9. I alternate flush and extended mags based on thickness of shirt.
