I am a big guy and have a 54" pant size. I actually prefer the pants just a bit small so it pulls the gun in to my side. I then take and use a composite belt(made here in Indiana...but the name escapes me right now). I used to carry a MP9c and still do occasionally...but bought a shield back in January and have been carrying it almost exclusively. That gun in my Alien Gear Holster(I hate the belt clips) disappears at my side. I have carried it under a tshirt successfully many times.
My 9c I carry in a Comp Tac holster and will get one eventually for the shield. Chezuki made a resounding point in another thread. There is a direct correlation between people that find IWB uncomfortable/intolerable and those that buy cheap holsters.
Good luck and welcome to the board.
Oh, and my dad drilled in to my head as a kid where to wear your pants...so at least I didn't have to jump pants size!
