View Full Version : I'm too damned fat
So, I'm currently too fat to comfortably carry IWB without buying a whole new wardrobe. I'm working on dropping about 15 pounds to get back to my normal weight, but in the meantime, I'm in the market for a decent OWB holster for a G26, and looking for suggestions (other than "Stop feeding your face, fatass!").[ROFL1]
I prefer leather construction for the most part, but I'm open to hybrids like the ones from Crossbreed (my IWB is a Liberty).
Fire away!
Good luck with the weight loss.
Give HBARleatherneck a shout. He can hook you up with a nice OWB holster.

Anyone want to do a weight-loss challenge? Take a pic of the scale as you stand on it for your first weigh-in, then take a pic of the scale every week for the next month or two? Whoever wins gets... the most weight dropped?
I'll get a hold of HBAR, that looks like a darn nice holster

I'm certain you won't be disappointed, and when you reach your weight loss goals, he can make you a matching IWB...

While I've never taken advantage of his services, I've heard nothing but rave reviews over his products - and I know his character. You can't deal with a better person and he'll get you exactly what you want/need.

The wife and I bolth use holsters from Hbar, you will not be disappointed his work is top notch. I also need to loose some weight it just seem impossible to do.
For me, the quicker answer was bigger pants and a larger belt. [Coffee]

HBAR made 3 great OWB holsters for me. I'm very happy.
Hbars stuff is pretty good, but I think you should buck the trend and have him build you a leather corset. Don't kid yourself. It will go perfectly with your other bad boy motorcycle attire.

I'm in, you should start a new thread.
I'll also be reaching out to HBAR about an OWB.

Ha! Surprisingly I only lost a few pounds those days & got it right back so it was water loss from sneezing out my butthole & barfing up any attempts to replace what I was losing. No fun. I also missed 2 days of Crossfit. [pileoshit]

Appendix carry- what's wrong with it?

Ah! No, I have one of these. It holds the firearm at @ the 4:00 position. Otherwise, it'd be incredibly uncomfortable!

Even Mrs BG says it's her back. I've also never seen crossdraw appendix carry with the gun canted that way. That seems like it would be difficult to get a good shooting grip from that position.
This could be the new "what color is the dress" photo.
I've...er...studied the picture, and it indeed looks like 4 o'clock, with the spare mag in a reaaallly bad location if she happens to fall and land on her back...about L3-L4...
It's definitely her back. I've seen quite a few women from behind. I would know.

I'm guessing that they were also running.
Appendix is abdominal. The corset pictures are closer to kidney carry.
Well, I have seen it called both 'appendix' and 'kidney' carry. I honestly don't know what this would be called. There are videos that show the placement. Here's one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf8wWK2mDgE
There was a corset in that video? All I saw were breasts.
Seriously, it does look more like 4:30 or 5:00 ish carry.
So, 4:00-4:30 carry is Appendix carry?
And 4:30-5:00 is Kidney carry?
My bad, I've had it wrong all this time!

Location, Location, Location ;)
Appendix carry is definitely front carry & not rear. Think of where you see an appendix removal scar... on the front stomach/waste usually at about 2 'clock. I've never heard to it referred to as 'kidney carry' for the back but that makes sense too. Usually it's easier to refer to it like a clock since it's a more universal descriptor. So this corset or 'kidney carry' would be 5 o'clock.

I don't believe that to be accurate.

I don't ever recall seeing an appendix removal scar, but what you're stating makes complete sense.
Because the firearm is canted, I was thinking "4:30" for the location of the top of the gun.

The clock reference is regarding position of body carried. Like the saying, Watch your Six
Should I patent "Kidney Carry"? I was just keeping it anatomical. [Coffee]
Here's a pic of an appendectomy scar;

11 o'clock. Which I think would be appendix carry for a lefty but I do believe I've only see appendix carry used to describe a right handed person carrying at 2 o'clock. In other words, your appendix is on the same side regardless of right or left handed so I would say that appendix carry refers specifically to 2 o'clock. Otherwise, just refer to it as the hands on a clock with 3 o'clock being on your right hip and so on and people will know what you're talking about. Getting loose with phrasing can get confusing which has been demonstrated in this thread.
