    I know there’s a video floating around of Massad Ayoob, a known fud, bemoaning iwb holsters. I personally use OWB because I’m a husky lad and don’t feel like buying bigger pants. I think the holster you shared is neat, just not for me

      Ayoob has done a lot, but yes sometimes his opinions should be regarded only as opinions. I haven’t seen what you’re talking about but I’ve seen him talk about other things where I was kind of pulling my hair out.

      OWB is certainly viable if you’re willing to wear shirts to cover it. Comfort is a reasonable factor. I do think IWB limits the size of what is comfortable to carry. Even a Glock 19 I find too big for IWB for my own comfort. I have gone into carrying “pocket guns” IWB, and anything bigger OWB. “Pocket guns” IWB also eliminated having to size up pants for carry as much, because yes that’s annoying.

        Totally fair and valid. At the end of the day, it’s your call and I think personal comfort and safety should be the biggest factors to work within
