Another vote for IWB here. I think OWB is more comfortable for the bigger guys and easier for them to conceal. I don't own any OWB holsters but might have to buy one if I keep expanding!

Come on folks, I know I'm not alone. ;-)
I carry IWB, with my High Noon Down Under. Yesterday I ordered a Kramer MSP paddle holster for my new Colt Detective Special, so I'll be joining you in a couple of months.

OWB about 95% or more of the time when I am belt carrying. But I also pocket carry a snubbie with some degree of regularity, and I also use a shoulder holster occasionally.

Only IWB so far, I would like to carry OWB but that is much harder for me to conceal. If we had open carry I would OWB but still have it at least mostly covered.

My Kimber I carry IWB, which is what I carry when I wear jeans. With the cold weather up here, I just bought an OWB holster for mah Glock 17 (I know, blasphemy) which I intend to start carrying all the time when I wear jeans/pants.
when I'm in mah scrubs, I carry ye olde Slim, as it's the only Shooter that doesn't pull mah britches down! (scrubs are basically pajamas, with a drawstring, no belt)
In that scenario (the scrubs, not my britches being pulled down), I carry it IWB.


:woohoo
FWIW, IIRC, AFAIK, FTMP, IANAL. YMMV.

At the time of my OWB vote it is 47-IWB and 18-OWB. I'm :shock: at this difference.

We're gaining; OWB for me also; only exception is when I go with an airweight in a pocket holster...
