I carry OWB at home and at the lake during the winter. But I did not have a good OWB holster for winter carry this last winter. I have one now so I probably will more often than not this next winter.

I only have an IWB for my XDm 3.8, but I often when wearing shorts or something wear my little 25 OWB, much easier and more comfortable.

owb at least 95% of the time with a t shirt over if needed, even 5" full sizes however a longslide 1911 does peek out constantly and theres no getting around it. rest of the time is a real size gun (g19, xdsc, commander,etc.) in a n82 tactical iwb and i always have a cw9 in my front left pocket (used to be a p3at till the cw came out as i couldnt justify the cost of the pm9)

Living here in the South, even in the winter, I rarely have more than just a shirt on. My dress code usually requires that my shirts are tucked... SOOO... with that being the case, Kholster/Crossbreed iwb, tucked is required.
On the times that I do have a jacket / sweatshirt to cover, (or was at the range) I have carried my Glock 23 in a Fobus paddle holster, and the Kahr in a JetSlide. Liked it, but again, can not carry that way very often.
I've gotten accustomed to the IWB carry and do like the feel of the Supertuck and Kholster type products.

I carry either my XDsc 9mm or my XDM compact .45 OWB all the time. I don't own a IWB holster.

I wear these, have several of them.
Professional Short Sleeve T | T-Shirts | 5.11 Tactical
They are VERY nice shirts, I am about to order 8 more. I can reach straight up with both arms and they do not uncover either of my guns. I was standing next to a local LEO who is a friend of mine and he had no clue I was carrying my .45 and 4 extra 13 round mags.

I live rurally, many people here carry OWB all the time. I carry OWB probably 99% locally, and of course on my land. If I am going to a larger town/city, then I carry IWB, and many times it is not my XDm's, I have a Taurus 709 Slim that I pocket carry.
I wear cargo pants, can put my Xdm 45 in my pocket simply because its deep, I use a BlackHawk OWB mostly, usually a size larger t-shirt covers it well, leave my other shirts untucked to cover it, good to go. I have worn OWB exposed on my belt, but usually have a shirt that will cover, less advertisement is better.

I prefer owb. I make my own holsters so it's easy to get the right cant and ride height for good concealment. Patterns on your shirt will help disguise printing.

I have multiple holsters for each EDC. Depending on where I am going or what I will be doing I use a different holster. But, they are all OWB.
