I have not made it through all the threads yet so please forgive me if this is a re-run I am a large man looking for a comfortable way to conceal a P90. I generaly like to wear shorts and hawaiian shirts when not in work gear. Any rec's would be appreciated. 6'2" 280 40" waist |

if you're a muscular 280lb, it will be easy. If you're an American 280 - then you will probably print no matter what you do. With untucked, longer shirts of thicker fabric you should be able to conceal pretty much anything in the small of your back - either an OWB (not recommended) or an IWB with a lot of forward cant. I am 6'2" 225 and am going with a quality leather gunbelt and a clip-on IWB from threatsolutions.com - there is also another thread by me in the 1911 forum that has several links and some good advice; ultimately there will be some trial and error depending on your build, so I would check out the links and GO TO A LOCAL GUNSHOP to try on various types of holsters before you commit to spending $80+ on a decent holster. Kydex (plastic) will probably work well for you, at the expense of some comfort. My Thread |

I'm 6'2" 200lbs the best thing for me has been a leather slide holster by ROSS for a compact frame, I bought a kydex Galco holster and comfort is lost. On my Glock M23 I have a thumb break composite holster and a Galco IWB leather holster, if I didn't have testicles the IWB holster would work great, nothing worse than pinching one of those. If you can find some soft fabric at the fabric store, like silk or something it'll help drastically improve the comfort. One more option is a horizontal shoulder holster. Since you like to button up shirts you can where one those with the shoulder holster and it wont print. |
I'm a bigger guy than you.
