I've searched a found a few threads regarding big guys using different holsters. Some even mentioned the smartcarry system. I kinda don't like the idea of the gun pointing at the merchandise. I have tried several holsters, all with discomfort. Those who have used the smart carry ..or Belly Band style holster..how did you find it with your XD while sitting, standing, etc? I'm looking for a holster system that I cannot feel, and the Kydex holsters I've tried feel like plastic sticking into me all day.

It doesn't point at your merchandise. It points down between your legs.

It's ok when you find the position that fits best for you, but it's a little TOO deeply concealed.

+1 to OVERKILL.

its sits ON the mechandise. i like mine. and just as OVERKILL said...play around with it. you can shift it from side to side, or you can use safety pins to slightly alter the shape of the gun pocket in effect creating a slight cant.

the biggest problem I'VE found while sitting with it, is that, since the gun sits so LOW, the muzzle presses the inseam a bit.
