G17, DeSantis Intruder (similar style to supertuck, far less cost) ($50), 5.11 1.75in polymer reinforced Operator Belt (Same basic style as wilderness belt) ($40); CCs plenty comfortable, I also pocket a G27 quite comfortably; I most often OC the G17 in a Safariland, as it's accomodating to the TLR-1 staying on the gun. I'm a little over 6ft and 260. A great holster is mediocre with a bad belt, and bad holster with a good belt is useless; once you get a good belt and a good holster it's quite easy. I also have all my pants sized to include the width of the gun(as that drastically helps keep excess tension off of the gut), and try to buy long cut or one size large on the shirts when it's an option (to help keep it covered if I'm not standing straight up with arms at my side). If you're tearing belt loops on your pants, then your belt isn't stiff enough to support the weight you carry.
I like carrying the G17 with one spare mag and the G27 as a backup, this means I've got 18+17+10 rounds on hand most of the time, but more importantly I can have gun or magazine failure and be good to go, as well as I can have my hand on the gun in the pocket without raising alarm or drawing attention, if things start to turn south before I have an exit option, but am not yet needing to draw. 2 guns+spare mag(s)+non-mounted white light+ wallet +keys +cellphone +pocket folder knife (+multitool) can add a fair amount of weight, but cargo pants or carpenter jeans, and a good belt keep everything very comfortable, and very well concealed for me, to where people who know I'm carrying can't find where I'm carrying from observation alone.
On days that I'm worried about concealment (i.e. getting made will be guarantee or high probability of social conflict at inopportune times), I'll cut that down to just the G27 IWB or pocket and it'll just about disappear in feel as well as sight as I'm really setup and comfortable carrying more; so if you can't make it work with the relatively low expense in holsters and belts, then you may want to be putting a lighter gun on the strong carry platform, at the larger expense of another firearm, but the trade off being that you'll be carrying it when you need it.
