Dear big guy, thank you for being so brave! As a big an tall myself I'd rather wrestle a bear than discuss my gut in public, let alone on a video going to be seen by the masses. Thank you for helping me to better understand what may be more comfortable and better concealment at the same time. Was wondering, with the paddle about the middle of the video that can move to horizontal, have you thought about or tried it in more of a front (under gut) position between first and second belt loop? I've thought about this a great deal but haven't found a holster that would be capable of this and cant afford to try several holsters that might not work. Thanks for any input.

Will M. Actually Alien Gear put me through a two day tactical training course and I used the paddle. For many folks our paddle can stick out too far but for my build it sticks out just far enough to clear my shape and still sits close to me. I hope that answers your question.

Great video guys. Personally, I like to carry using shoulder holsters. I used to be pretty big too. To say that I liked to eat is an understatement. At 5' 6," I was a 2XL with a waist size of 44" and 240 lbs. I was not quite as large as Maxwell, but for my height I was considered morbidly obese. My suggestion to bigger guys is to go on keto, vegetarian, vegan, or Paleo and just lose the weight gradually over time. I've tried them all. I still rotate between different diets. In 2015, I went into a coma and was discovered to have out of control undiagnosed diabetes. When I came out of it my parents, my dad's best friend, and my wife were by my bedside. People were expecting the worst. I had to go through nearly a year of therapy to relearn how to walk, talk, and use my arms again. I had to start maintaining my health and going to the gym on a daily basis. Over the last five years I have lost nearly 80 lbs. and dropped down to a size 32 waist. Now I can carry two guns and 4 extra mags IWB with about an inch to spare when I wear my old pants. I'm not trying to fat shame. I've been there. I hated going to the gym and exercising. But I know that the alternative is either death or really bad health, and because I have two kids, those aren't options for me. All the best to you , Maxwell, and to everyone else who needs to lose some weight. Stay safe, be well, and God bless.

being 6' @ 300lbs I've had success with the AIWB at 1:30 with the handle canted down. With my Ruger LC9s, this allows the extended mag to contour to my leg when sitting and getting in/out of a car. My gut and t-shirt provide excellent concealment. Since my extra weight is primarily forward, I find that anything past 2o'clock sticks out too much and prints fairly obviously. But, canted at 1:30, I spent a day getting in and out of my car and walking several miles and almost totally forgot it was there

I have velcro'd a Dr. Scholls gel heel insert to the top of my IWB holster that I wear at 3:00. In addition to spreading the force and stopping the bruise from the back of the gun pressing into my side when I sit, it prevents my skin and shirt from being caught as I re-holster. It's a great simple hack that works. This as opposed to going with a hybrid holster that will become floppy with sweat and may not have good retention.

I don't have an alien gear holster. I use the leather iwb holster from Walmart. I'm not huge, size 34 pants, but still a little gut these days compared to my youth, and appendix carry was growing more and more uncomfortable. Always hated the idea of carrying in the back due to driving/sitting and thinking it would be uncomfortable. Tried it the last couple days and literally went back inside thinking I forgot my pistol. So comfortable, and considering buying one of your holsters as a thank you 🙏 this video is awesome.

In addition, I preferred addepix carry because is seemed more concealedable in contrast to a side carry. The 330 or 430 I believe you called it is just as concealable and surprisingly comfortable sitting, driving, walking. Would feel much more confident with a fitting holster like alien gear, versus my leather one with stretches with time and use.

I have been around the block with concealed carry and holsters I'm on the heavy side too. I found that undergarment suspenders help very much in the proper support and comfort of a concealed firearm, tied into a good strong belt this would be the only comfortable way to wear concealed or open carry a gun. In the winter time I'll use a shoulder rig that way I have two magazines available and I can wear a 1911. in the summertime a P365 x macro Carry comfortably either on the belt or shoulder rig. Suspenders are the ticket for the big guy.

I am a large individual as well, I stand at about 6'2" and 330 pounds, I am 22 years old. I have always been a large person, I was one of the biggest Kids in school, in 8th Grade I was about 6'1" ~220 pounds. I started carrying as soon as I turned 21, I started with a Compact Pistol, but wasn't a huge fan because it felt a little too small for my composition, so I got rid of that Gun and have carried Full Size ever since. I do not quite have as much Tactical Shelf as Maxwell here but I have found ways to Carry IWB at about 1 o'clock with a Lightbearing Glock 21 .45acp. what I do is I move the gun UP my body, to where my gut will not impede my Draw, then I sinch it down pretty tight with my Ratchet Holster, finally I throw on a ~1-2x oversized shirt or Hoodie (Usually a XXXL) and there is really no way for the untrained eye to see that I have a giant thick brick of a gun under my garment. Great video guys, and mad respect to the Maxwell for being comfortable enough to talk about this, as a big guy myself, I hate when I have to talk about how I manage to carry being my size.

Thank you for this video! I need it because I’m bigger and I’m trying to figure out how to carry other than a pocket revolver in my pocket.

As a big guy, I print more with the appendix carry. Definitely had a lot more stares "down there" with the appendix carry. I wish I could say it was my Big gun, but it's only a 365.

My EDC is a Beretta PX4 full size in 40 S&W. I'm overweight with a trucker's physique.... All gut and no butt. With no butt, I no longer wear a belt. I wear suspenders. I use the Belly Band from Alien Gear and a Sticky Holster. I've tried the elastic belly bands and they work ok, they just don't hold up. The Alien Gear belly band is like a wide woven material belt that adjusts using Velcro and the Sticky Holster stays put. I could jog and not worry about the gun changing positions. I can carry wearing just in my underwear if I want. Your welcome for that mental image. LOL Since the belly band is independent from my clothes I can wear at any position I want, depending on what clothes i'm wearing, or driving, or sitting. No belt required, or clothes for that matter, once again you're welcome. My rig is easly adjusted While I'm wearing it. It's perfect for me. If you're fat and regular holsters don't work for concealment, try a similar set up.

I’m a big guy myself, I just started carrying iwb, much more comfortable than carrying a full-size owb, my issue is I have a serious case of no-ass-atall... I think I need to invest in some tactical suspenders, if my belt is tight enough to keep things at a respectable level it just gets painful after a little while

Thanks to the company for sticking your neck out during a time that there are so many people that get offended at everything. However, most of my thanks goes to Maxwell. Make sure he gets a GENEROUS raise because he's the kind of employee that you don't want to lose. I'm a "bigger" guy, with a bunch of extra "skin" (haha), and I'm just getting into CCW. Will definitely be checking out you guys as soon as I decide on what my EDC is going to be. Please give credit for the lead to Max!

I love my drop leg holster when I ride my motorcycle. I gives me the ability to cant to the right angle for a swift controlled draw. I also carry 2 canted magazines. Needless to say I get some looks, but I don't care , this is about my safety and the safety of others.

I'm a big dude 6'2" 230 pounds, and for some reason, the appendix carry seems to be the most comfortable. Carrying IWB at 3 and 4 o'clock just doesn't feel good to me no matter what holster I've tried.

I'm a big guy also. I bought the 4.0 kit and some add on shells. I used the appendix carry at 3:30. I set it up as in one of your other videos. It would've been great you could've had examples of how those other holsters actually were worn. Like the shoulder holster or the leg . Holding it in the hand doesn't sell it to me. I need to see examples.
