So I busted my proverbial IWB cherry today and I believe I have been missing out. I’ve had it on for about 3 maybe 4 hours and I can’t even tell it’s there.

I’m a bigger guy so I’ve been a OWB guy and afraid to try the IWBs. I’m so glad that I bought my first one from an addict and couldn’t have been more pleased with how nice it is.

Today I’m wearing a TT GUNLEATHER IWB with a little shark trim sorry @tac45. Inside it’s got a NHC Heinie PDP stainless chambered in gods caliber 45 acp! The shoes are none other than @Highfiguregrips hand checkered desert ironwood!

If'n you call what I see in that picture a 'bigger' guy, you need to adjust yer way of thinkin! From the looks of it, I could make two of ya, and the kind folks at the shoot said I weren't fat.
Lol I was 380 in January and I’ve lost 85 pounds. I’m still not where I want to be weight wise but I’ll get there once the holidays are over.

It’s at about 3:30 ish if I had to guess. It’s so much more comfortable. I hate I’ve waited so long.

Is that holster broken in yet? If not it only gets better. I’ve been carrying my Baer 12-16hrs a day in my TT since Feb. prior to that it was my DW Guardian. The reason for the switch; I only have +p defensive ammo left. I barely notice the weight difference.
I’ll be honest it looks new to me or newish.

Having a good holster and belt is a must for comfort. I found that 5Shot IBS works the best for me. Looks like you found a great holster right off the bat.
Yes a belt I’m glad you mentioned it. I bought a brown and black one off of eBay for 70 bucks and they are super nice for the money. Heavy duty belts is how I looked them up.

I too have never carried IWB but after losing about 35 lbs I’m in the market for one and I think your post put me over the top!
Great looking rig!
I don’t think you can go wrong. I was afraid for way to long. I have it on again this morning.

Only issue I’ve had so far has been putting the gun back in the holster. It wants to hang on the safety! So far I love it. Eric I think that may be one of my next purchases.
