I need some help in choosing a new holster. I cannot decide whether I want to carry IWB or OWB. My biggest concern is comfort.
I have an XD9 4" service model. The main function of this holster will be for days when I will be wearing jeans and khakis. I am 6'1 around 250. somewhat of a gut.
My biggest concern is comfort (along with concealment obviously). I'm worried that a IWB will be uncomfortable and I really don't want to change my wardrobe. On the other hand, I'm worried that a OWB will not conceal enough.
I currently have a Smartcarry for the days I'm wearing shorts and sweats. It's comfortable, but a bit cumbersome and I don't like the way it fits and feels with jeans (or anything else other than shorts/sweats for that matter). I currently have an LCP that I carry a lot for the times I don't feel like using the Smartcarry holster or it is too hot out. I have the LCP which is nice for its intended purpose, but most of the time I like having the XD.
Holster shopping is a real pain in the arse. I went through 2 Uncle Mike's before getting the Smartcarry. I want this holster to be my last holster purchase for this particular gun. Willing to spend up to $150.
Thanks for your time in advance.
