Middle age guys and Holsters

OK, I's 68 now, and been shooting for over 60 yrs. I carry for 45 of them. So no rookie answers here, I carry a gun every day inside or out, and still can't find a holster that either doesn't stick out or give me a pain in the ribs after a few hours.
I have "like most of you" tried everything from plastic, Krydex, and leather. with leather coming closest. The best way for me is to pocket carry a single stack 9mm, of even a XDS, but if I want to take a glock 19 or a 1911, I have to OWB it.
I even tried the pants with the holster in the pockets for 100 a pair, the elastic nut crusher that makes you look odd to many people with a 2 lb gun and a mag bouncing between your legs.
I know this has been covered, but really how do guys over 50-60 carry a full size or hi cap gun. The OWB needs an outer garment and FL makes that hard other that in the winter.

Honestly I am 190 and 6 foot tall, owned a health club, but my back is bad. That's the issue. But even when it wasn't, back in the olden days, like the 70's, we all wore a holster on the hip, shoulder or anke. I can't wear a shoulder rig in this heat, nor an ankle rig either.
So i am back to a conventional holster or a Blade Tech, "they are the thinnest I have found" after trying most other types, The Remora and stickey, work in the sense that I put a clip on 2 of mine and they stay iwb, in sweat pants, without a clip they fall right through.
I emailed them 2 years ago and told them they needed a clip, and guess what, now they offer one. But IWB is still a bitch to pull from fast enough for my liking. And I am not a heavy guy. It is just tight when you pull that belt to keep it from poking out.
The tactical pants from LAPD work, but you look like a Lineman for the County. I ordered another couple of pairs, brcause at least they have a dozen pockets. i can get a 26 or 19 in the waistband and a lcp or PM9 in a snapped pocket. along with mags and a phone and car keys. Soon I am just going to hire a guy to carry my stuff.
If someone has a better holster let me know, is the Safariland any better than the Blade tech. Also Bikini holsters work great,but your gun is visible unless you have tee shirts that hang down to your knees.
If this keeps up I will have to invent my own. I lost my text formatting after posting, weird. Lots of new computer Viruses last 2 days be careful, I scanned twice today and found 6 more.

The answer is simple unless you're in law enforcement, security or military you do not need high capacity or large handgun to carry. Ask yourself in that 45 years how many times have you really needed a handgun?

4 or 5 times, including a 5 man home invasion team, 3 attempted car Jacxkings, I like nice cars, and used to enjoy late night life in NYC, many yrs ago, and a couple of attempted robberies in one of my stores in Queens and one on Lexington Ave, when 2 guys robbed a liquor store and walked up to me in my car tapped on the window with a 1911 in his hand, and said open the door.

theFor the gentleman that nothing ever has or will happen to, I did carry a snubby back when that's all we had, but the past 5 years has taught us that although violent crime is down, "caugh caugh", when it occurs it can be much more violent than 20 yrs ago, when maybe the guy had a revolver. Today you could be in the movies or the mall, anywhere, and some idiots decide this would be a good time and place to kill a whole bunch of people. I sure am not going to nit pick over 5 or 6 more rounds in my gun. I want 15+, why, because it takes 3-4 rounds to stop 1 guy, and 50% of all shots fired are misses. So that leaves me with an optimum of 8 rounds or 2 perps down.
If you ever did get into a gufight, you would know that 5 rounds take a second to shoot, and maybe you hit one guy , "you are all moving", it's not like shooting paper. Bullets are coming and going. Now how are you going to feel once you have fired your 5 rounds and there are still a couple of guys, maybe wounded as may you be, still shooting at you.
this happens a lot to victims of shootouts. Hopefully they run away after the first few shots, but these new gangbangers will stand and shoot at you. Go see Sicario, the movie, it's taken from true events, this is what is coming accross our borders by the thousands every day.They will draw down on Law enforcement knowing they will be killed. The FBI has stopped countless numbers of terrorist plots to shoot up malls and other events where Americans gather.
Maybe if you live in Kansas or Nebraska, "nothing against them, they are Americans just like me, but there aren't large areas of wealth, and elitest gathering areas, where a statement can be made, the "Port Cities" like NY, Miami, LA, Chicago, Texas, is where they concentrate their terror campaign, and the inner cities of many other states have Obama inspired race relation problems, which had just about stopped when this idiot took office. Things will get worse before they get better. If i could wear body armor and carry an AR sbr, I would. as many are keeping them in their vechicles now. Colon Noir showe his "truck Gun" last week, a Pellican case with an AR pistol and a Glock. He may be a bigger target because of the NRA position he hols as a spokesperson, but everyone is in some type of danger at some time.
At leats do the minimum that makes sense, carry a 20 oz Glock and an extra mag, so if the crap does hit the fan, where you happen to be with yur kids or grandkids, you will have a chance of surviving.
You need to wake up and see what's going on in this country. These people in San Bernadino, Orlando, LA, NY, and dozens more, they weren't doing anything and got gunned down
