I have a commander mdl and I am a pretty good size guy.
I have been thinking about a shoulder rig, but does anyone carry under a shirt not just a jacket?
The IWB's are just a little uncomfortable.

Thanks

IWB carry I wear trousers with waist size 2” larger, use something like a VM2 and a legit gun belt.
Not difficult to carry concealed under just a shirt.

Define "pretty good size guy"

Muscle?

Adipose tissue?

Unusual height/weight ratio?

 

[Bjlffire1]

6'2"
310lbs
43" waist
On top of that I have 2 work iphones, 1 on each side
so I am thinking about the skin/t-shirt, shoulder holster under a regular shirt

Haha, BIG GUY, you're a fargin' ballerina compared to me.

I use (EDCX9) Warbird, IWB/OWB convertibles at a 25deg cant. It hides perfect under my FFG (full figured guy) love handles. I also have 3 more Warbird's set up the same way. DW ECO, WC Xtac compact, & WC Wilber Centac.

Also the 2" bigger waist size is sound advice from @gaijin.

Take a look at this thread if you haven't seen it already. Might be some good info.

Fat guys and 1911 problems

I'm not calling you fat. I'm calling me fat.

I'm still carrying at 2:00 with the Garrity Inconspicuous IWB holster and like it a lot.

I am a thin guy & find the Galco Jack Ass shoulder holster more comfortable
for all day carry than the IWB holster.

IWB does work better for warm weather, when a shirt is all you need.
At a 32" waist, the hardest part for me is keeping my pants up LOL.

Thanks guys, just need to keep trying different ways.

Take a look at Duluth Trading fire hose cargo pants.
I'm the same sized guy as you and find front pocket carry with a Commander possible.

What about dropping a few lb’s?

You’d feel like a new man. I’m 6’6” was 311 lbs. Dropped down to 248 lbs. I’m a jacked 265 lbs now. I had to drill a new hole in my belt a couple of weeks ago. Never felt better. A New Year is coming....

2 phones on your belt takes up a lot of real estate . Shoulder rig may be a good solution .

Good for you, great accomplishment. I was at 335 a few years ago so I have been there and just stopped.

It’s literally the hardest thing I’ve ever done. They’re are so many health reasons alone to do it. Sorry if I’m going off topic, but I a fix the problem type of guy. It’s helped with my knees and sleep apnea.

Oh and for every 30 lbs you lose your penis gets an inch bigger.

I can't loose enough to make a difference.

To answer the original question. I bought this fine rig from a very fine local maker who I’ve bought five gun belts from and at least one other 1911 holster. I’m not as big as you, but I just found carrying in a shoulder rig to be...cumbersome.

I only where 40 waist pants, but 46-48 Extra Long coat.
