re: Deep Carry

Yep, sorry. I have the regular 365 and an XL. To me the grip length is what matters over slide length for concealability.

I've carried a full size gun in a owb duty holster under a t shirt printing big time

I've done that in the winter with a USP 45, felt like a brick hanging off my side. Under a light jacket it still didn't print that badly. Now I have a IWB holster for it though I only carry that for walking the dog.

I just hike it up a little, it's easier than you'd think

I never saw that enigma thing before today, so I watched a couple of videos because it is very intriguing.

My thoughts - I didn't see any fat people. Mostly fit dudes and fit chicks. Lots of chicks btw.

This is the fattest dude I saw reviewing it. Dad bod type dude, maybe his setup ideas are better for the average not jacked football shape dude. He loves it.

I do like the general idea of it and I think I might get myself one to try.

This is a very thorough review that is well done for others who are interested.

I've been carrying concealed for about 15 years. I've never used appendix nor "deep carry." I started out carrying IWB w/ a tucked shirt. Later I quit tucking it since not all my pants had the extra 1" in the waist needed for IWB carry. After 5 years or so I became comfortable enough to start carrying OWB. I've also used pocket carry intermittently since I started. Now my pocket carry/OWB are pretty equal. Using a nice pocket carry holster, a small 380 (mine is a Kahr CW380) will disappear into most slacks and is ok in most jeans. For OWB, for cover I wear a long t-shirt or a loose button up "fishing" type shirt. Nowadays I mostly cc a Sig P365 or Kimber Micro 9 in an OWB holster. As far as I know, I've never been busted when carrying concealed. I've never felt comfortable w/ the type of holster you're looking at. I'd feel a lot more comfortable cc a pocket 380. If I didn't think a 380 was enough gun, there are some small 9's that will fit in many-most pockets (e.g. my Kahr CM9 fits a pocket well). If you can't get comfortable w/ "deep carry," try pocket carry w/ a pocket 380 or a small 9mm. W/ the right cover clothes you should be ok carrying a bigger gun IWB or OWB. Keep us updated.

I carry a 365x with a techna clip. Im a skinny dude so it fits me fine. It’s a little uncomfortable when sitting, but walking around it’s almost unnoticeable. I have it where the grip sits right along the belt line. I can carry it with a shirt loosely tucked in an it covers the grip. It’s the only way I’ve carried since I started carrying.

I’ve been looking at other options as well. I’ve found the “fat guy holster” from JX tactical that is designed to sit lower in the pants for fat guys. It’s about the same as the normal holsters but the point where the belt clips mount is extended an inch or so to allow another row of holes for the belt clips. Which lets it sit lower in the pants. Pair it with the ulti clip and you can get even lower into the pants.

I got nothing. I put the Wilson Combat X grip on my 365 and it has less abrasive texture when going the direction it goes when pressed against my stomach, but maybe I'm a bitch because I still can't take it more than an hour or so if I'm moving around a lot. I've started wearing undershirts to fix it.

That's fine, and I normally share that mindset, but that's not the point.

I just need to be extra careful sometimes. When I deep carry it's in a non-permissive environment. I'm not breaking any laws but could be asked to leave if found out.

I've enjoyed it so far. I really like being able to adjust the ride height on the go. Ex. If I need more concealment I can just push the grip down before getting out of my car or something.
