which CC holster do you prefer/use Inside or outside the waste band?

[Little Dutch]

Full disclosure, I've only tried 2 IWB holsters. I'm 6'2" and around 190 lbs. One was a rather nice custom leather for a full sized 1911, which maybe isn't the best choice for IWB anyway. I don't recall what the other brand was and which compact pistol it was for. It's been a long time since I've tried IWB and maybe I'm missing out with the new options, but what I tried back in the day wasn't comfortable.

I usually carry an Astra A-75 9mm in a standard Galco OWB leather holster. The Galco may be the Master Combat model, I'd have to check the writing on mine. It's held up wonderfully, and still fully retains the pistol so I haven't considered replacing it.

I have, however, been seriously considering switching to a lighter pistol. The Astra weighs 31 oz unloaded, which is right around what a Sig P226 weighs, where the Sig P365 is 17.8 oz. If I switch I may well try that Blackpoint tactical mini wing mentioned in post #6.

I have a nice IWB, a hybrid Tucker Answer for the Glock 27, but never found it comfortable to carry. Now that I've lost the big belly, I might try it again. For the G27, I use a Bianchi OWB with a snap retention strap. Very secure when climbing through the woods.

Nowadays, I love the leather DeSantis OWB with the Kimber Micro Nine. It retains well even running through the forest. So, I use OWB ~95%, and a Smart Carry at 12 o'clock for deep cover in warmer weather. With both of these it's easy to forget I'm carrying.

I've have a Tucker The Answer from my Kimber. I agree it's not super comfortable and it's absolutely on the bulkier side.

I only wear blue jeans and buy the variety that have a tiny bit of stretch built into the denim. That helps with IWB a lot.

Obviously, just about anyone should find a decent OWB holster more comfortable.

As someone who doesn?t wear an over abundance of clothing almost any time of the year I don?t really do the OWB thing because its the hardest to truly conceal.

I have a strong preference for appendix carry and find it generally comfortable and easy to access the firearm. Depending on the holster, the gun, your physique and how much sitting you do will determine how much you may or may not enjoy it. I have learned I definitely prefer leather over kydex for appendix carry. While kydex is less bulky the hard material is less comfortable for me.

An Astra A75L in a Milt Sparks IWB "Summer Special 2" in a 1.5" belt. The forward cant is perfect for a draw from 4:30 position.
My problem is finding pants I like that have a belt loop at 4:30, especially shorts. Although my last trip to Eddie Bauer was successful.

G17 gen4 w surefire x300 and 509t rds, in a T1C aiwb axis elite. Like most have already said appendix carry it’s for everyone. For me it’s the most comfortable and easy to conceal. It has been many years of changing what and where I carry on my waistline. I wish you the best on your journey. A good belt is as important as a good holster.

IWB 100% of the time. Crossbreed Supertuck for the G19.

IWB 100%. Holster is The Defender, by L.A.G. Tactical. https://www.lagtactical.com/the-defender

Question for those who've carried kydex for many years: How long until you replace your holster? (When kydex fails, it fails suddenly.)

[Tinelement]

Carry 100% AIWB.

Two favorites are LAS Concealment and Phlster Floodlight

Have a couple nice leather holsters for my 1911s. Palmetto Leather and SME 5 Shot.

Leather is nice, but prefer Kydex.

Full size 1911 in a Milt Sparks VMII, disappears even under a t-shirt though I typically go with this set-up when the weather is a little on the cooler side. S&W Shield Plus in a BladeTech Nano-great warm weather carry.
