So I was promoted to a new postion about a year and a half ago. This meant that I went from spending about 3/4 of my work time hiking in the woods for a living, to about 1/4 of my time in the woods, and the rest in the office. I recognized that my health would start to slip and I'd gain weight, so I immediately started changing my diet and exercise regime to stay in good health. As it turns out I was an athlete in a fat guys body for many years, and never knew it until now. I just wanted to maintain my weight, but instead I dropped 50 lbs. I have to say that this is great, and I'm loving it, but it raised an interesting issue for me.
I have been ccw iwb a Ruger SP101, .357 for about 4 years now. I have always carried it in a Galco iwb holster at the 4 o'clock postion. Well as a result of literally "losing my ass" I now find that iwb carry is a little uncomfortable as the gun is resting directly on my hip bones with little padding left. I know a lot of people will chimme in and say "Well you ought to carry a 1911 because they are just flatter and more comfortable." but buying a new gun isn't really an option right now, so I'm looking for suggestions on the most comfortable iwb holster for an SP 101 with the 3" bbl. I've heard really good things about Crossbreed holsters. I'm also curious if anyone else has had this issue, and if so, share your experience.
