    Just curious if any other really thin guys are IWB carrying a double stack glock, if so, are you using a single belt clip kydex holster, hybrid leather/kydex 2 belt clip, or something else?

    I'm 128 to 138 pounds depending on training cycle and 5'10". Couldn't ever get IWB to work for me. Appendix poked my upper leg funny when sitting and 3-5 o'clock hurt my hip bones. Yes, all tried with lots of quality holsters.

    I OWB now in a JM Custom holster (highly recommended). It's no less concealable under a T-shirt for me and 1000X more comfortable. Only downside is I can't tuck in my shirt and CC.

    I'm not as skinny as I used to be, but even when I was, I never really noticed any difference between single or double clips. I guess I've mostly had single-clip, but that wasn't really an intentional decision.

    I’m not a skinny person, but I have tried different holsters in the past. I like having the ability to remove my gun without taking it out of the holster. So I require soft loops on all my holsters. Besides, soft loops are much more secure than clips.

    I’ve been testing out a NSR Tactical IWB holster. So far I like it. But my preference is AIWB. And for that, I like the Archangel and Phlster.

    I AIWB carry a Beretta M9A1 in an Archangel from Dale Fricke Holsters. Most comfortable way I've found for me to carry.

    With IWB / OWB, I've always found that two points of retention are better than one.

    With my single clip stuff, I've noticed that they move around more as I'm moving, changing the training point that my hand has learned from dry practice and range time training.

    I carry a g19 in a onyour6 designs IWB single clip holster carrying at the 4 o clock position. I am pretty slim, around 5' 8", 160lbs. Mostly muscle, I am pretty slim, 30 waist. Very happy this setup, conceals easy with just a loose shirt. Although I am usually wearing a biker vest so it conceals under that very easy.

    I do the Raven Concealment Eidolon. What I like about it is the customization options related to fit. You can just about cover most body types, and configure it /set it up to not print via it's design. Downside is it's not cheap and limited in the models they produce for...If you're a Glock guy, you should be good to go.
