    Im curious, I am 5'10'' and around 170lbs with an average build. No tummy or anything. I can carry my 1911 full size in t shirt and shorts with no issues with my IWB. Do you guys really worry about a slight bulge or corner of your firearm "printing" (printing isnt the right word as no one has ever noticed if I was carrying, even my kids cant tell).
    I have come to the conclusion, people do not pay any attention to what is at your waist. I do know though , gun owners and CCW holders are more alert to their surroundings and can tell when someone is carrying. I enjoy seeing that I am not the only one carrying.

    ETA: The only concealed holsters I have are the Super Tuck IWB from Crossbreed Holsters. Super comfortable and I can wear them all day doing any activity. FWIW

    9mm or .380, although I really don't carry yet.

    Im always watching to see who is carrying, especially among people I know have a CCW. We always check if the other is carrying, and if not they owe us a beer. I do agree that most people aren't looking or don't know what to look for.
