Too thin for a shoulder holster?

[Bacchus]

I'm thinking of picking up a shoulder holster that holds the weapon horizontally and has tie downs on the off side for two mags. Here's my question: I'm relatively thin--will the firearm show through the back?

I'd be carrying a 1911 commander size.

(I'm not as thin as Skunky, though).

Most horizontal holsters have adjustible straps, so if it is visible from the rear, you can angle it downward slightly. Should solve the problem.

back when i weighed 133 lbs and was 6 ft i used to carry a S&W 39 in a shoulder holster in a way and a place and among people that would have resulted in me getting in a lot of trouble, i had no problem.

I'm 6'1" and weigh 175. Except for my beer gut, I'm very skinny. Without it I'd be about 160.

Anyway, I have the rig adjusted so that the muzzle is angled up slightly. I tried muzzle angled down a bit, but then the butt of the pistol stuck out too much in front.

It takes a lot of playing around to get just the way you want it but, once you're there, you're done.
