I tried a remora and it sucks I don't wanna keep buying holsters and not use them. I am a pretty fat individual which include a belly and big sides so I am just curious what everybody else is using. thanks in advance.

There are couple of factors for us squishy types that play a bigger role than the actual holster in terms of comfort. First and foremost, your pants have to fit. That means waistband on the outside of your belly, not a low rider with the ol' dunlop. Then, you need a sturdy, stiff belt. If you're like me, suspenders will complete the package.
After that, in terms if IWB, it matters where you wear it. If you put it at 3:00 or 9:00, it will probably work best for you. Assuming the pants and belt are squared away, anything forward of that is viable too.
Currently I am using a combination of Zero Concealment Systems IWB appendix holsters and a Blade-Tech injection molded IWB.
I got some extra on the sides and I use a holster similar to this,
but it sits a little lower on the belt:
I do not have the exterior thumb break, but do have the interior leather
that extends up along the inside to protect my sides from getting gouged
out and to prevent sweat getting on the left side of my handgun on those
hot muggy days.
I carry a full sized Taurus 809 and love how this rides on my hip.
Got my holster from I think Cowboy Holsters, he's usually on the very
northwest corner of the Southwest Pavilion, but with the construction
I don't know where he will be now.
Next show I'm going to get one for my Taurus 709 Slim, he's got too good
of products to dismiss buying from.
Im relatively skinny (5'9 150) and I like my Serpa Sportster paddle for OWB, but dont like how far out it sits if I am trying to CC. I have a crossbreed supertuck IWB that is VERY comfy though I didnt appreciate the long lead time. Bravo concealment looks interesting also, but I dont own one.
