Howdy from Central Florida

[ockgator]

Newbie to S&W, Just picked up a Shield 40. Haven't had a chance to fire it yet, Going to clean and lube it correctly first.

The hardest thing to find to me will be a proper IWB to carry it with. I'm not tall and have a belly, And in Fl it tends to get a bit warm so experimenting I will go.

You'll probably wind up with a drawer full of holsters like most of us, LOL.

Howdy from South Carolina, and welcome to the forum.

My husband and I have worn the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 2 and 3, for over a year. It uses Neoprene (wet-suit material) as a backing, which is comfortable against the skin, and impervious to sweat.

Welcome! Im also in Central Florida, been here 10 years since leaving the Peoples Republic of New York

I have a M&P 9c, close in size to your Shield. I am 6ft, and a stocky 250 - kinda barrel chested. For concealment I use a Galco King Tuk IWB. If you want to tuck an outer shirt in it actually hides the gun well, as long as you dont wear form fitting shirts. I have taken to wearing very light sweat wicking Under Armor style shirts, and covering them with a very light untucked collar shirt. It gives a casual but not sloppy look and I am very comfortable in most weather.

I also suffer from the affliction called NoAssatAll and found that wearing some firearms caused my pants to weigh down, no matter how tight I pulled my belt - especially when wearing the sliky no sweat shirts. I actually tried a pair of suspenders and they are amazingly comfortable, and the untucked outer shirt hides them so you dont feel like a grandpa.
