I'm 6'0" 295.

I always carry IWB with an uncle mikes holster. It fits well and I can carry all my auto's in it but my 1076. For days when I have to tuck my shirt in and wear a suit jacket I wear my shoulder setup. Besides it also helps hold my pants up. Big Grin

Well, after lots of looking and reading, I have a new holster.

I choose to pickup a Tuck-This IWB holster. I'm very happy with it! I picked up a new belt and that has helped as well.

The end of the butt prints a little, but its doesn't scream GUN!!!

Wearing an undershirt also helps keep the gun from contacting my skin. The white Hanes ones work fine.

Thanks again for all the input and suggestions. Big Grin

If you find that the new holster doesn't work as well as you had hoped, there are a number of fannypack/holster setups out there. Works well even with just shorts and a t-shirt.

I am 6'3" 300 Lbs, 46 or 48 by 30 or 32 pants (depands on style). I can not carry IWB, just won't work, digs into way to much.

I have found that the Galco FLETCH (OWB)holster works great, covers very well, the bottom kind of doesn't look like a holster if just the bottom peaks out. The biggest thing is I wear it all day and I don't even feel it. I am left handed also and they make a lefty, which alot of companys don't.

I carry a FS S&W M&P 40.

Buy the Galco FLETCH you will love it !!!

If you really need an IWB this guy makes some real nice holsters, UBG Holsters , I do not have one of his, but I have heard very good things about him and his holsters.

Congratulations! I was going to suggest a "tuck this". I've also got an UBG holster, but I have the one with two clips. Works great for this fat boy.
