I do IWB with a couple of guns and holsters, S&W Shield and Glock 30S using Foxx Hybrid and Remora holsters. I have tried other IWB holsters with this same Problem: When combined with a Holster Belt, (in my case a Galco, and not their very thickest one but not their thinnest) it prints something awful...even with the very skinny Smith Shield. Not the gun, but the belt where it goes around the gun. A big belt stick out that looks like you have a hump on your hip.
I am averaged size, 5' 9" and 175. I tried one of my wider (1") dress belts and it was much, much better. While I like the support of the Galco and would be great for OWB, it and other thick gun belt give me the big hip hump print. The thinner belt, when combined with IWB seems to have plenty of support, which might not be the case I'm sure with OWB.
What are others finding about IWB and thick holster belts? Are you experiencing "hip hump" printing, or am I doing something wrong? I seem to have the best "concealment" in this regard with the holster right on the side of my hip, rather than the 4:30 type position.
Thank for any comments or suggestions....its not the gun printing, its a horizontal belt print that sticks out. Not really looking for holster recs, just what you've found concerning IWB and heavy belts.
Thanks,
Russellc
