Re: How do you carry comfortably while fat
Maybe consider moving your holster to the 3 or 9 o'clock side. When I used to carry IWB, I always used a N8 Tactical holster. The OT2 is the most comfortable IWB holster I've ever found, and I have a couple of boxes of old holsters that I've tried over the decades. Also, consider a smaller gun. The SIG P365 is the tops, in my book, for IWB. If you don't like SIG and want to stick with S&W, the Shield Plus is great, too, albeit larger.
You could always go with pocket carry, but then you're looking at smaller gun. Due to some medical issues, that's the route I've had to take. I find the P365 to be too big and heavy to pocket carry. Instead I carry a Ruger LCP Max in my front pocket. Allows me to comfortably wear a belt so my pants don't slip off the flat part that is my behind.

Re: How do you carry comfortably while fat
I definitely prefer IWB @ 3:30ish. Small autos to 1911's, sometimes when I'm sitting in the car I have to check to be sure I have it with me. Do it long enough and you'll forget it's there.

Re: How do you carry comfortably while fat
Carrying a gun is supposed to be comforting, not comfortable. Nonetheless, decisions have to be made. I’m morbidly obese. My decision was something small and light enough to be pocket carried. I recommend you live with the pain of your current decision until you can afford to make a better one.

Re: How do you carry comfortably while fat
A hammerless snub nose at 1:00. My gut just hangs over it. Not real comfy but doable. Better way is a full size 9mm in a crossbreed supertuck at 3:30. I like it best. Or a NAA mini revolver in a shirt pocket.
