I've tried the THR search and Google search. Either this hasn't been discussed much, or I don't know how to search - a definite possibility.
I've mentioned elsewhere that I'm a big ol' boy - 6'4", knocking on 300 lbs (though the doc and my wife tell me that had better be part of my HISTORY and not FUTURE). I have a KT PF9 that I plan to carry (I'm going to try pocket carry first; I also have a JMG holster (13.0) on order for other times when a pocket carry is out) most of the time, but would like the option of a larger gun if/when I desire. My larger framed guns would include a M&P9 (full-size) and Officer 1911. If it matters, my day job is professional attire (shirt & tie; some polo & slacks) but weekends are comfey clothes.
I've been reading that FBI/forward cant style is best for those who carry behind the side-seam of the pants (I'm lefty, so that would be the 8-9pm position) but a straight cant might be better for 9pm forward. Is this true for big ol' boys, too? Any of you corn-fed boys want to share your preferred style of cant?
I haven't decided on a holster yet. I'm thinking Crossbreed's QuickClip looks promising, and it can be ordered either way - FBI or straight - thus, the question. I like it because it can be removed from the belt without having to de-belt. Too, it's a relatively quick slip-on for an evening run to Wally World. The SuperTuck and CompTac's Minotaur also look good - the latter two, especially, for the heavier 1911 frame - but they are adjustable, so the question with them is moot as it can be changed.
Thoughts? Opinions? Disagreements? Let me hear them!
