My opinion about CC is “This type of carry is for criminals” or people who refuse to give into the permit system.
You've gotta be freaking kidding me. I don't know what state you're in, but in Florida, which is where I am, and where it matters, I don't have any other option for carrying a gun in my daily business. Not everyone is allowed to OC, and I don't want to be a criminal for carrying without a permit when I can get one pretty much for the asking.
IWB is not my preferred method of carry. I selected it, and further, appendix carry, after a buttload of research that ended up with me concluding that was the most conducive to concealment with my body type. That was the primary goal, not comfort.
I've been at this for 3 days straight now. What I'm noticing is that, much like fractal said up in post 7, it looks really apparent for me looking straight down, but I'm the only one with that view. From anyone else's viewpoint, my waist looks pretty normal with my shirt bloused out over it.
I'm glad I'm carrying the holster empty. This way, I'm figuring out ahead of time where it rubs my skin, what pants won't work, whether a shirt's too tight, etc. Good example-the boxers I was wearing today do not like the holster. It kept pushing them down. This pair is a rougher material, though. The softer cotton that I wear most days doesn't have the same problem.
Thanks for the constructive posts, to those of you who made them...
