It seems to me that unless you are willing to pay what is considered what a gun should cost, then it is junk. What I mean is when I bought my Taurus PT1911 people told me it can't be good as good a Kimber, yet I have had Kimber owners fall in love with it. My Hi-Point 995 carbine must be junk...
I am a big guy also and IWB is not for me. I pocket carry either a J-frame snjubby or a FEG PA-63. Both conceal very well and are not uncomfortable in my pocket.
