Old & Crusty
I have both the Sig P239 in .357 sig and the XDs in .45. I have carried daily here in Maryland for too many years to calculate and originally the P239 was my go to concealed carry gun in a DeSantis Viper paddle holster. Once I got the XDs, I started to carry it in a DeSantis pancake holster and wondered how I ever thought the P239 was comfortable. In both winter and summer, I can conceal the XDs on my waist and even if you knew I was carrying, you would not be able to spot it. Like many have already stated here, I am not a little person and IWB does not work for me. My pants are big enough and I refuse to go to a bigger size just to IWB carry. Plus I cannot acquire a decent grip to draw when I IWB carry. I know a lot of this is personal preference and what works for some might not work for others, but over the years I have found that a good polymer frame pistol in a pancake holster can be carried continuously all day long with no discomfort and in fact I sometimes forget I even have it on.
