Default FAT MAN'S 2nd Gen Deep CC

I've always had a little trouble CCing with my gun in the back because I don't have enough *** to keep the weight from pulling my pants down and it can be a bit uncomfortable to carry it in the front because of my excess belly being in the way.

So after a bit of searching, I discovered this holster. Unlike the "Belly Band" holsters which can cause uncomfortable compression and restriction of movement for us larger guys (every single video I've seen on one of these, shows some dude with an absolutely flat stomach wearing it), this one is designed to ride on the hips and has 2 pouches in front for a gun and an extra mag.
Supposedly, you can wear it with just about anything without your gun showing, including shorts and a t-shirt.

It sounded like a good idea so I ordered one and I'll let you guys know whether or not it was a wise investment or not, after it gets here.

A lot of us older gents suffer from donelaps and noassatall and it does make it difficult for IWB and even OWB. Would like to see the product you mention.

I'm not crazy about shoulder holsters, but this one I will recommend. It is extremely comfortable even for those amongst us that are a bit more "Fluffy" around the middle.

The "Sky Marshal 3" by "Kangaroo Holsters". They run $49 plus shipping which is about $55 delivered.

You have the holster on one side and two pockets on the other for magazines, flash lights, wallet etc.

I love mine and it's quit popular with the LE/Military crowd too.

Here's a link.

It'll take a little getting used to because it rides in front, right on top of your junk. It seems pretty comfortable so far and it's REALLY easy to draw from but, I recommend taking your gun out before trying to sit down in your car. The holster itself is soft and pliable but the rigidity created by your gun being in the holster pocket, makes for an awkward and somewhat uncomfortable drive.

I also have an *** shaped like an egg, and found the solution to this is suspenders.

Wear them over or under a tshirt, and pants amazingly stay up.

It looks just like the Smart Carry holster. I bought one years ago and have occasionally used it, but the downside is that it takes two hands to draw your firearm; one hand pulls out your waistband while your other hand reaches in and draws the gun. This eliminates your ability to use one hand to fend off an attacker while drawing with the strong side hand. I prefer wearing my shirt outside of my pants so that I can wear an IWB, OWB or a pocket holster comfortably. But there were some occasions where I was wearing shorts, and a t-shirt or other shirt tucked into my shorts, and tried the Smart Carry and it worked very well. It does not print at all, and since it is under rather than supported by your pants it does not make your pants sag. With a smaller concealed carry gun, sitting is not uncomfortable but it would be very difficult to draw your gun from a seated position, even with both hands free.
