    Springfield 1911 full sized in a Comptac Infidel IWB holster.

    Or a Glock 17 in a Comptac Infidel IWB holster.

    I'm 5'11" 180 Lbs. It can be done comfortably.

    I just received a Glock 21 in a trade from a fellow Ingo member that I intended on using as a nightstand gun primarily. However, he had a Crossbreed Supertuck that he threw in with it and today I figured what the hell, I'll try CC'ing a fullsize .45acp gun. Turns out very easy to do with my normal attire. Didn't even have to dress around it and as long as I paid attention to my shirt getting caught on the grip once I stood up after sitting for a period of fine, I had no problems concealing it whatsoever. ...

    Yup. Welcome to the club. A significant number of INGOers agree . See the following polls:

    I carry a Glock 17 iwb. It's not bad to carry when I am walking or standing up. It is uncomfortable when I am sitting down. A different holster or a smaller Glock might help with that

    I carry a full size 1911 everyday. I use a Blackhawk leather IWB holster. I carry it cross draw. It is very comfortable for me. But I am a big guy.

    I carried my SIG P220 iwb in a cb super tuck for about 6 mos. just to see if I could do it without being "made". No problems.

    OC with my G17 unless it's cold outside. Then I use my inside pocket rig. I love my full size Glock. But when CC is necessary to be inconspicuous I go for my much smaller Taurus PT709.

    Glock 21??

    I thought you said full size.... :dunno:




    One of my carrys is the G17L (now measure that one)
    When I CC, it slides into a Kholster and disappears nicely.

    You can conceal almost anything you put your mind to.
