There a lot of threads here about different methods of carrying, I am 5'10" 200 lb and carry a full-size (4.25" ) double-stack S&W M&P 9mm in a IWB Comp-Tac minatour holster almost daily. I have gotten so used to it that I have forgotten it was there. Sometimes I really notice it as it has shifted, or wearing too tight of pants. Otherwise it has worked for me for 5 years.

find what works for you and go with it, you may have to change your mode of dress in order to dress around the gun, it may take some trial and error with holsters (i have a small collection now). People do not notice bulges, even close contact (i.e. hugging) people have brushed the butt and don't know what is there (hmmm, maybe a cell phone?).

I have the G21C,I'm guessing this is too big to conceal. Is it ok that once the gun is covered by clothing that bulges of the gun are protruding?

I carried a Glock 20 for almost ten years before I got lazy and downsized. With everything going on in the world, I started carrying the G20 again this year. It's not the most comfortable gun to carry but there's something very comforting about having 15 rounds of full-power 10mm on tap before having to reload.

Bought a new XDS 3.3 in 45acp.

Conceals great, took it with tonight on a jog. Was nice and light, except the holster I have rubbed a hole in my skin while running.

I need a good holster now.

Anyone know or have any advice about the XDS 3.3 45?
Did I make a good decision?

WOW

That is totally COOL
It Looks perfect, I want to come by and try one out.

Thanks a million.

Glock 30S is a great carry pistol (would like it even better if it were Gen 4). If anyone ever asks me about any bulges, I'm going to say: "it's my colostomy bag, would you like to see it?" I figure that will shut most people down soon enough.

Does not matter what you carry as long as you dress around it. I carried a G21 for years and now carry either a 1911 or an XD 45 full size, 4 oclock. The key is a good GUN belt, good holster and slightly oversized shirts

I'm 5' 5" and conceal a full sized 1911. You just have to wear the right clothes.

I also carry a full size 1911 with no problems and always wear polo shirts that are little big

Ha LOL
Nice guys.

I wish I could pull off carrying a huge hand canon.

That's really awesome, my buddy shoulder harnesses a M & P with 17 in the mag.

To each his own.

For me small tiny caliber 45acp that remains concealed while out jogging is just perfect.
The XDS 3.3 45acp is a handful.
Took it to the range the day after purchase.

Wonderful gun to shoot.
Very easy to operate and after 80 rounds started to take a toll on my hand.

I love this little 45.
Perfect for conceal and no matter what clothing is worn it's always concealed.
Very cool
