Re: First days of carry....not very comfortable

kevin1 wrote:I'm carrying a Glock 26 in a white hat micro tuck holster at 4 o'clock position. I have 2 gun belts. The first one is The Ultimate Concealed Carry CCW Leather Gun Belt I bought from amazon (I like it, but it's kinda thick) and the second one is the 511 trainer belt.
My first issue was driving. My driving comfort is important and that's why I have nice leather 18 ways adjustable seats. Initially I felt like there was a brick in my back. Now I'm kinda getting use to it.

The second problem is that in the seating position, the barrel of the gun pinches my butt against the chair or the car seat. Initially I didn't notice it, but now it's starting to really hurt.

I'll probably get use to all this stuff, but I thought I'd share my first days of carry.
I feel your pain...literally. I'm also 5'7", but weigh more than you, so belly is definitely a contributing factor. Working on reducing that issue.
Comfortable and Carrying aren't words I would use in a sentence at this point. My "least painful" options so far has been the OWB Blackhawk Serpa on belt mount and my Sneaky Pete on belt. I've started using the Serpa on a paddle mount some, but find it is harder to move into a more comfortable position in the car. I really like the Sneaky Pete because it covers all of the uncomfortable edges of my Shield.

I also have a Alien Gear IWB that I haven't been able to get fitted properly to the point leaving the house with it on.

Considering getting a shoulder holster, especially when the high temperatures begin to fall below 90 every day and I can wear a t-shirt under regular shirt.
