For hot weather, shirt and shorts, full size handgun, IWB or OWB, needs to be concealed. What has everyone tried that works?
So far the best I’ve found after trying numerous holsters:
IWB: Blackhawk nylon holster with plastic clip (yes, the cheap $15 one). More comfortable than kydex/leather, excellent sweat shielding, thin profile and hugs close to body at 4oclock position, won’t scratch finish, easy to put on belt
OWB: Garrett Silent Thunder STX 2.0. No idea how this conceals so well but can easily hide a full size 1911 at 3oclock. Everyone has their way of canting and pressing the grip to your body, Garrett way of doing it makes no sense to me but it’s somehow the closest to body/least printing owb holster I have tried. Leather lining less likely to scratch finish.
