IWB sucks with a spare tire.

Anyone find a 'forget it's there' IWB option for all season carry? I see youtube reviews of various setups being great but they are typically some bean pole that wouldn't know a cheeseburger if it bit him on the ass.

I've read suggestions of the Milt Sparks VM2 but my goodness it's pricey and takes like 6 mos to get. Are there others just as comfortable?

Enjoying winter with a nice heavy sweatshirt and a high riding OWB leather holster for my P365. That does become almost 'forget it's there'. Have a P239 en route that i'm hoping will be reasonable to carry as well. Much more comfortable with the idea of a chambered round in a DA/SA decocker gun vs a striker fired gun. That said the P365 shoots much, much bigger than it is in terms of handling.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

Inside the waist band.

Try Alien gear holsters. I have a couple and they are comfortable.

I use the Fobus 365NO "IWB" with my Sig 365 SAS. Fits better with a much smaller paddle than my older Fobus I used for the Glock 9mm subcompact. I think the trend is smaller paddles for comfort.

I am not seriously overweight but I do have some middle flab.

I carry AIWB and love Crossbreed Reckoning (hybrid leather and kydex for a G43. Also have a Vedder Lighttuck all kydex for LC9s (about P365 or G43X size). Both are about the same price and I think they have a return policy if you don't like them.

I have been told that all leather is the most comfortable but I prefer the easy on and off of clips and the adjustable retention so I know things stay where they belong.

I tried an alienware. It was good, but it was not remotely as good as a crossbreed supertuck.

I've had two, and they are great IWB, very comfy and secure.

I love the large about of adjustments that can be made with Crossbreed Reckoning. Height, cant, retention. I think the same is true with Supertuck
