I can't say enough good things about these for the, umm.... festive figure

I started carrying with one & I found it to be very comfortable. To be fair, I wasn't sure how a holster 'should' feel, but as a first timer I had zero problem carrying with it.

I've disenchunkulated a LOT since then & changed holsters, although I still appendix carry.

If you were packing a 365, I'd gladly send you it.

Your pants or belt are likely the culprit to an IWB holster not being comfortable. To tight a waist band or a belt that doesn't support the weight of the firearm will cause most of your pain points.

Tenicor and JM Custom Kydex have served me well

Have carried both extensively. 16 plus hours a day. I lean towards Tenicor now but have had great luck with JM.

Also, there is always going to be some pressure from carrying a concealed firearm, particularly seated. With that said, I can wear any belt and I haven’t found that matters too much with proper fitting pants, usually one size big.

Also, another option is a high quality outside the waistband holster. You will have to modify you wardrobe more but I can’t tell I’m carrying with my Tenicor OWB holster. An OWB holster does require a more robust belt.

I was just going to reply with that.
A good belt, and sizing your waistline to accommodate for an extra 2” of holster makes such a difference.

This is probably why you prefer your shorts when carrying.

I’ve been very happy with the hunter Constantine stretchy belt. It makes bending over with an appendix rig so much better.

Also @Wprinkle can you tell us a little more about the specifics of what is causing it to be uncomfortable? “Lots of pubic bone pressure” gets solved differently than “beaver tail causing belly bruising” etc.

I went up from a 34 to a 36 waist pant. Next I use IWB holsters from tenicor and G code. I carry a full size pistol with an x300 daily. I’ve even carried it in this configuration in a couple of foreign countries.

Jeans, shorts, even suits. No issues for me.

The trick is finding what works for you and not everyone else.

Tenicor makes a great holster for striker guns. For 19/2011 I would go leather.

The Vedder light tuck has been an amazingly comfortable holster for a p365. Worn it pretty much everyday for 5 years.

Went with a LAS Concealment Kaizen for a Staccato C2. Just received it. So far so good but will need a little time to see if it works out long term. Running the Kaizen with a cloudster pillow. The cloudster pillow is very plush and comfortable.

This is the best belt I have used. Unreal easy to lossen when you sit down, and tighten when you stand up. Infinitely adjustable for different clothes guns, activity, and food babies.

Glock 45 with hmr holstered in a tier 1 appendix carry. No issues here. I'm 5'11" 185 so I wouldn't say I'm anorexic but there's no belly getting into my draw stroke either

Tenicor with their Zero belt.
