Best IWB holster for a fatty?

With as much love as the Supertuck gets, it is my top option right now. How it is for bigger guys (I'm 5'10", 270lbs)?

What has worked best as for the bigger guys on XDTalk? I want a combination of comfort and concealment.

Thanks much,

Mr00000

i use a galco but im not a fatty(your word not mine) im 6 foot and 170 lbs
but it is a thin holster and to me it seems like it would work for someone with a few extra pounds

Most holsters ship the same day no waiting

there's another thread somewhere on this, but I'm 5-11 and 285 and the smartcarry works well so far for me with my xd40sc

I'm new to concealed carry, and only have one other IWB holster to compare (a cheapo c-clip style Uncle Mikes that is always coming off my belt because of the love handles), but compared to it, smartcarry is about the most concealable and secure solution I can think off.. won't come off in the theater or getting in and out of the car and printing or chances of an accidental exposure are practically non existent.

Comfort is always a subjective thing.. all a matter what you are willing to endure for the sake of carrying, but so far I've had less comfort issues then with my other IWB holster

oh, and one thing about smartcarry, vs many others, is the 60 day return policy.. (and the price) makes it a no-brainer to at least give it a try

I'm 5'10 240 and the suppertuck works great for me. I've had it all of 2 weeks and I love it. I can wear it comfortably anywhere from 3:00 to abt 5:00 with no problems. It just disappears under a tshirt. It just takes a few moments to tuck my shirt in right. Alot of times I wear polo's untucked, and my firearm is invisible.

I ended up ordering the Supertuck last night, but if I don't like it this looks like the next one I will check out.

Thank you,
