I have never concealed carry before but am thinking about how best to carry. Being lean/thin all my life, 5-10 under 160, I don't know what experiences others in a similar body type may have or what advice a qualified individual would give.
AIWB seemed crazy to me at first blush. Then, I read the Todd G thread in AIWB so I got my blue Glock 19 in it's cheap factory sport holster and couldn't believe how comfortable it was and concealable in a t shirt and jeans just having the pistol in that area during multiple walks with my dog.
I can tell you that having a non hammer pistol does concern me if I went this route of AIWB.
OWB seemed to scream gun in the same attire On my frame but understand that the holster cant isn't optimal.
IWB seems less so in this regard to concealment with it just tucked at a good angle on right 3 o'clock. I can see how a slimmer pistol like the Walther PPS might be easy but can't get one in my state so it is a moot point and the Glock seemed good.
I am trying not to buy multiple holsters, etc and practice only one method of carry, ?, and one gun, Glock 19.
Any advice or lessons learned before I start down this road would be appreciated!!
I think being an engineer seems to make me over think/analyze too much. I might be oversensitive to the whole concealment thing.
Ps Once I decide which method, my next step would to be to take dedicated pistol training courses using that method of carry. I have a Vickers AK course coming up but plan OWB for that.
