    I think body type and holster/belt/gun itself mating issues really drive the train here. I am 6'2'', 200ish. I have a 34 w(typically buy 36s as I AIWB) / 44L coat and conceal a G35 appendix with a sportcoat/suitcoat nearly every day.
    A purpose designed belt with a purpose designed holster goes a long way toward concealability and comfort. YMMV greatly.

    I've been attired in a suit every day this week with a full size M&P and 2 extra mags--no problems walking, standing, sitting, driving.

    It helps to wear high quality, professionally tailored, adult clothing (ie. not hip hugger pants); refer back to post #110 in this thread...

    Use a good holster.

    If you carry at 3-5 o'clock, consider a sport coat or 2 piece suit; if you carry AIWB, then a 3-piece suit or double breasted suit are great choices.

    For G26: 10 degree cant, JMCK Version 2 or JMCK Hybrid. (The Hybrid has a slightly larger "volume" than the Version 2, which means it makes things feel just a bit "tighter" around the waist.)

    For Colt .45 Auto CCO: 15 degree cant, Del Fatti ISP-SS w/sewn loop.

    The local club decided to throw an outlaw concealed carry match today, so I got to shoot the rare match in work clothes. The vest does a great job of concealing a VP9 and spare magazine comfortably in a JM George and appendix magazine pouch.Name:  SuitCarry.jpg

    Very cool to have such opportunity.

    Just saw this. Twelve bills a pair. And I thought my Mannina and Santoni were expensive...

    Zack, the short barrel on the current VP9 makes your ass look big.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    It is, but that's the trend on instagram now anyway. I look forward to the long slide making everything look proportionate.

    Gravati is about half the cost of Bontoni and equally comfortable--mine are ordered with the "Beverley" rubber soles.
