    Default Anyone else carry OWB year round?

    I see most people country wide carry IWB most of the time. Who else prefers owb year round? I find IWB uncomfortable since i am almost an exact copy of the main charactor off of king of queens, gotta be thin for it to be comfortable i guess.

    I carry OWB most of the time or whenever its practical. If its not practical and open carry is out of the question i'll throw my S&W J-Frame in a pocket holster and go from there. Although i am still on the lookout for a nice IBW for my USP Compact, but i'm in no rush

    I HATE iwb carry. I always carry owb, usually w/ a lightweight oversized shirt in the summer. I just can't seem to find pants to fit w/ iwb holsters. If I get one size larger, the pants fall down, if I get my actual size, the pants are too tight. IWB carry is ok w/ elastic waist pants ie; 5.11s.

    I carry OWB if I'm going to be walking any amount of distance. IWB is mostly for shorter trips and/or concealment is paramount.

    I also carry OWB year round. The 1911 made it easy in the summer, guess I'll have to see how the new carry piece will carry with summer wear.

    I carry OWB almost exclusively. I do have taste for hawaiian shirts whch conceals anything. I find even a slighty oversize T shirt will cover a 1911 adequately in the summertime.

    I carry OWB year round. Either an untucked short sleeved shirt or an outdoors vest of some sort works great. It helps that I don't find it hot around here even in August.

    I carry in a pocket or OWB. Pocket is most frequent due to the ease of tossing that little .38 (in a holster) in my pocket.

    I started wearing sports jackets just so I can carry OWB more easily. Sometimes it's just a shirt, but more often it's a sports jacket.
