S&W 469 as an IWB gun

I'm 5'7" and 135 pounds- OK maybe 136 pounds and I have more on my hips than chest. I regularly carry a 469 IWB although my usual weapon is a 908. I wear my blouse untucked and a blazer (we gals can get away with that fashion faux pas.) My usual holster is a deSantis 111. I find that color selection helps. I wear black or navy pants and a similar blazer. For color I depend on a flower or geometric print blouse. The patterns are an effective means of camouflage, minimizing printing of the gun.
 
5'9" 165 and have been carrying a 6906/PC-Shorty 9 IWB in a Milt Sparks Executive Companion holster since about 1990.

My general EDC is a 3913NL as I don't feel the need for 12+1 everyday in my "Burb of the Burgh"...... but when I travel I tend to take a 6906 plus a 15rd
(with a +2) back up mag for 12+1+15 (like 4T5guy above)


I often carry one of my PC Shorty-9s as I have since the mid-90s.

I carried a 469 IWB for many years in CA., but unfortunately had to switch to a Kimber Ultra and a M&P Shield, due to the CA illegal hi-cap mag of the 469. I'm 6 ft 180 lbs. Used a homemade IWB holster. No problems. Really liked the 469 and will go back to it if I move out of CA. Ed.

Couldn't switch to 10 round mags? I keep finding them on my search for the 12 round ones.
