Body type for concealed carry

I'm overweight and some of the IWB holsters are just too uncomfortable with certain guns for me to carry. I seldom carry my old kimber BP Pro IWB. I mainly stick with hammerless/DA for IWB. Lately I OWB with my shirt over whatever I'm carrying anyway as long as it's easily accessable.
 
6'5" 210, and I feel your pain.

Hilo Hattie's has a great selection of oversized hawaiian shirts, they'll never see the lump while their eyes are following the semi-naked hula girls and jungle flower print.

Ted Blocker IWB 3'o clock with a good forward cant, hooked over the hip usually for me, sometimes at 5/6 if i have to use the arm a lot ( keeps me from bashing the elbow nerve tunnel on the butt of the gun.

full size M&P 40 stays mostly hidden, unless the kids grab the shirt, or bend forward at the waist.
 
I toted my CZ P-07 today. I was using a cheap OWB holster with a mag pouch on the top. It did not conceal well.

I switched to a universal IWB holster and it disapeared easily. A loose shirt and a forward cant made it nearly invisible to me. My wife had to ask, "are you still carrying the gun."

The gun is 7.3" long, 1.5" wide, and 5.1" tall. Not exactly a small gun to hide on a 5'10" 210lb body. With a better belt and pants it would have been more comfortable. As it was I would probably carry it daily if I had a purpose built holster.
