hey guys, thanks in advance for any advice/tips/help
i have a xd 9sc and i'm having a hard time finding a holster that's comfortable. i'm an average build, 6'2" about 210lbs (that will go down as i've started hitting the gym again, then back up as i start hitting the weights). i've got a little extra weight but i carry it pretty well and mostly in my stomach area.
i went to my local sportsmans warehouse to try on some holsters and nothing seemed comfortable. i'm right handed and that is the side that i will carry on. i tried everything from 1:00 all the way to 6:00. i love my mother but she gave me her hips... lol. i have really prominent hip bones so carrying anywhere around 2:30 - 3:30 was really uncomfortable, plus the printing was terrible. honestly the most comfortable thing i found was to actually get a left handed IWB and wear it at 6:00 so i could still grab the grip.
i hear CBST are great and i've checked them out. i guess with the cant on it i could wear that at 6:00 and be able to draw pretty well? i'm not sure if i would like a pancake (is that what it is?) type IWB and i'd really like to try one first, but i don't know of anyone who has one around me. my cop friend has a couple IWB and he said he usually just uses an uncle mikes when he's off duty...
i really can't seem to find anything that's comfortable in the initial stages of fittings. i have no problem dropping money on a holster but i want to be pretty sure i'm going to like it and use it. i'm not worried about wardrobe or printing right now, just comfort. i'll deal with the other issues after i find something i like.
help me guys! i need comfort!
