Sorry, but I don't care you are, that's funny

anyway, I too am a big guy 6' 315 I carry my .45 service with the comp-tac minotaur. I can't speak for the other holsters but mine has a good foreward cant to it and really helps with printing. I wear it at about 4:00 and have been known to tuck over it. As long as you blouse the tuck. I think they all will print at some point but most people are not observant enough to notice. The only people that will probably notice are other ccw holders, as I catch myself looking at everyone these days to see if they are packin.

I wish I had but you know what they say about hind sight. Are there any suggestions on tips and tricks to carrying this weapon. I currently carry a P6 which works really good. I just was looking to carry the XD for the extra ammo and stopping power of the XD.

The trick to concealing your weapon is to have it ride as low to the belt line as possible and to be able to adjust the cant,so that you are comfortable,and you can grip the weapon.Our holsters offer both.Printing is not an issue.If you try it and decide it is not for you..simply send it back that is how we do business.
Thank You Larry

I agree. The MTAC has the option of changing the cant, where as the supertuck doesn't. This is the reason I chose the Minotaur for my .45 service.

I also think that unless you live in a state where printing is illegal, people need to stop worring about it. I carry at the 9:30 and yes if I bend to tie my shoe, I'll print. Either tucked or untucked. I just don't bend to do this. I actually squat as you should anyhow for proper back health.

With all the doodads and what nots that people carry on the belt, no one is really going to pay any attention to the slight bulge that is only noticeable for a half second by someone that odds are you never going to see again walking down the street or shopping in the store behind you.

I think this falls under no big freaking deal.

Gun works Holster works the best for my XD40 service. I slid my XD45 service into it and even though it was not a proper fit for the 45 it still did not print.
Either the holster is good or my big belly hides it well.

I'm 6' & go about 180lbs. When it's Fall and Winter & starts to get cooler, I have no problems concealing my XD Service because of the extra clothing. During Spring & Summer when I wear T-shirts, it can be somewhat of a problem to completely hide.......so I came up with a solution. I bought a Taurus PT111 Pro 9mm. Very concealable & it fit my IWB holsters that I have for my Service...Gun-Works & Galco Sky Ops

If you can afford it, get another handgun in compact or sub-compact.

i do like the looks of the MTAC Minotaur.. that just might be better than carrying it in a purse..

from the Crossbreed website:
"The SuperTuck is our most popular rig and is adjustable for ride depth AND cant"

I was carrying my xd45 service in a galco skyops all day today and yesterday. I am, 6-3 220lbs and wera a large t-shirt and it hides nicely. I just don't bend at the waist or squat down to look at things.

While that great document is liberal in the classic sense, it certainly isn't in the modern use of the word liberal. BTW, not trying to hijack the thread, just stir up a little stuff.
