I guess it depends on the type of pants and how big you buy. All I carry is IWB and my jeans are one size larger than normal. I'm typically a 34 -35 in waist (of course this slightly varies with manufacturer) and for IWB I buy 35 -36, again depending on the manufacturer. If I'm not carrying I simply tighten the belt one extra hole. Right now, when carrying, I use the 2nd hole in the belt.. When not carrying it's the 3rd.

Wouldn't a CS be just as thick if not thicker than the Glock, Sig, 1911 since the cylinder is also inside the waist?
