    Default OWB for concealed carry.

    I was thinking about this the other day and wanted to see how many of you do this. How many of you carry "concealed" but use an outside the waistband holster to do so. I always wear a longer shirt, and have considered going this way to see how it would work out. They make some nice holsters that ride on your belt but still ride close to the body. Was wondering if you have done this, do this, pros and cons. Tips, suggestions. advice, the usual start a topic bullshit.

    OWB is pretty much the only way I carry. I also don't really care if I print or not. But it's not noticeable at all with a sweater and only slightly noticeable with a golf shirt or an untucked collared shirt.
    I used to carry IWB but I've never looked back since I switched. I find OWB much more comfortable.

    I switched over to OWB CC awhile back and love it. If your looking for a good kydex option I highly recommend Bravo Concealment and add in a set of pancake loops. Successful carry of any kind always depends on the foundation so a quality gun belt is required to hold everything up and in place.

    I carry my .38 OWB with an ultra high ride holster and love it. Printing means nothing to me like the others said, anything more then a t shirt you really can't see it.

    I like how nothing hands lower then my belt.

    I often carry OWB when wearing a shirt that goes outside the belt. When I do, I prefer a paddle holster.

    I carry a full-size .45 XD OWB. Most times, if you didn't know I was carrying, you wouldn't.

    Much more comfortable, especially when you're carrying a hip howitzer!

    Always OWB. As above, sometimes just a T or polo on my time (CC or OC), or a jacket or sweater for work for light concealment. As I age ever so slightly I find I couldn't fit an IWB holster in my waistband anyway.

    They don't make a holster for the gun I carry, or I would check one of them out.
