[RonBernert]

Did my wife ask you to post this? Sheesh, not like I'm TRYING to lose the weight!.....

5'6", 175Lbs, (ahem) 32inch waist scrutiny.
Galco Paddle for the S&W 442 (today)...

And today I am wearing an ever-fashionable combination Blue Jeans, brown belt with the complimenting blue and grey fleece pullover. The tan long sleeved undershirt is a Carhartt, the shoes are Doc Martens.

5' 9"
220 lbs.
40" waist
As of late, a Glock 27 in a Don Hume H721 O.T. (open top) holster, on my right side at about 2:30 position.
Just t-shirts and three-button shirts to cover it.

Man I wish I still had a 32-36 inch waist! 5'11", 200lbs, 40 inch waist,

You could carry a 32" waist at 200#, but it's a lot of work

When I was hitting the gym harder I was 187# with 32" and 11.5% body fat. Currently, about 5 pounds lighter and 1% higher. BMI charts actually put me at overweight for 5'10", but that's why they're worthless. A good measure of a society's health, but crappy for individuals

 

[jon86]

5' 9", 186 lbs, 32 inch waist, usually carry a smith and wesson 638 in an uncle mikes pocket holster. On occasion I carry a glock 30 @ 11:00 in a smartcarry.

Yikes! He has a member-waistline comparison chart! Man am I glad he only did IWB only so I'm not included in his sick, twisted handgun to body fat to holster ratio.

Just kidding, interesting little survey. I'd like to see full size vs compact/sub compact and weight chart. I've always wondered how such a survey would turn out...

[NOLAEMT]

so whats up with this?

I'm curious now...

 

[lysol]

Well first thing's first, I'm trying to get percentages on the size of pistol everyone is carrying concealed. I forgot to add to the requirement the carrying caliber. oh well. i could probably get half of them if i spent some time on google.

 

[Mikhail Weiss]

weight --- 170lbs
height ---- 6'1”
waist ----- 34”

Glock 19 IWB in a Kramer #3 or Blade-Tech holster, between 3:30 and 5:00 or 5:30, though mostly it's in the latter range because that's where the holster always migrates and feels most comfortable. Belt is a Bulman UGBS. Wear this setup with any untucked shirt long enough and loose enough to provide adequate cover, summer or winter, even when occasionally carrying the Ruger P90. Sometimes I toss on the Bulman QMP mag carrier (worn behind left hip). Sometimes not.

Reason for this setup: Old job had me standing around much of the day, dealing with the public, and any behind-the-hip-carry was easier to conceal than, say, OWB on hip, which I also tried. Jeans and nice enough button down shirts were okay in that work environment without looking odd. Switched from P90 to G19 because the latter is lighter, holds more bullets, and a shift in clientele put me in increasing contact with groups of rough looking characters, no doubt all perfectly nice fellows.

Jeans, t-shirt with xx-large button up shirt over the Sig 232 380 outside of belt.

 

[Skillet]

5' 10", 145 lbs, about a 30-34 inch waist (I can't really remember) slender body shape (I'm a runner)

I carry a CZ 75B 9mm full sized pistol in a Shado 110a holster, outside the waistband, on the belt

http://www.shado.com/Leather-Holsters/Shado-Leather-Belt-Holster.html

It's kinda hard for me, because I have yet to get an actual gun belt, but I have a stout leather belt that does the job. being so skinny, concealed carry is a sinch because i can conceal this full sized pistol with just a t-shirt on. my only problem is with the gun wanting to slide lower and lower due to the belt.

Its pretty nice

 

[Skillet]

lysol, you chart has a CZ PO-1 as a full sized pistol. It's a compact.

 

[Bullnettles]

5'9" 190# 34-36" carry a 442 in the pocket. Carry a model 19 OWB 4 o'clock sometimes if that helps your cause.
