Comfort is relative. Most people who have never carried before have absolutely no idea what is comfortable or not. If you took someone who was uncomfortable with the idea of carry, and had them try several different tiny guns in various positions, they will say it feels like a tumor. No matter how far you go to accommodate them, you will never get them to say "It's like I don't feel anything at all." On the other hand, you can take a skinny kid who turned 21 61 days ago, just got his permit in the mail, and has been waiting a decade for this moment, you can hang a Desert Eagle under his left arm and he will swear he can't feel it at all.
Very well said, great post.
As you said, it all boils down to each person. I do think though that for most, 2 carry guns is probably pretty optimal. I have a S&W 642 that I can just plop into a pocket holster when tooling around the house or going to get a gallon of milk. But usually, about 97% of the time, I carry a much larger gun that I simply shoot better than the little 642. Usually, that gun is a S&W Model 15, but sometimes it's a 5" 1911.
