IWB or OWB….Which do you prefer?

I’ve been using one of these exclusively but think I want to switch so I’d like to know which you prefer and WHY?

IWB I think works better for concealment but less for comfort.. I would rather be a little uncumffy and know it is hard to see I am packing than the other way around...

IWB for me. Less hassle concealing that way. I usually only wear a T-shirt as a cover garment. The rig matters though - I use a CTAC that I made comfortable. Its the perfect concealment holster for me. Once in a while, if I'm wearing a jacket and I know it won't be coming off, I'll go OWB just for kicks and giggles.

Only somewhat. Switched the tabs around and strategically applied Moleskin. It is comfortable so I don't need to switch to the MTAC and I still get the all-kydex draw of the CTAC.

I prefer the iwb holster.for carry.I find it Easier to hide just the grip than it is to hide the whole gun.

 

[glocker]

I use owb or iwb depending on the circumstances

 

[MP45COMPACT]

IWB is easier to conceal...

I carry my 9c in a Taqua IWB, very comfortable and conceals well. This in South Louisiana where you don't wear heavy clothing very often

 

[kujiin]

OWB - why? IWB is just un-comfortable to me. Call me crazy but have found SOB to be the most comfortable for me.

I use both according to situation. I dont even think about it anymore, sometimes I carry it both ways the same day several times.

OWB



It's far more comfortable and not that much more difficult to conceal IMO.



IWB is a nice option to have available.But i now carry OWB whenever i can get away with it.



Edit-NTM it's much faster/easier to draw from.

IWB, all day long. But thats just my opinion...

I use both according to situation.

I have both. I prefer OWB and would do that 90% of the time, only switching to IWB when it absolutely has to be concealed. Of course I've become a lot less uptight about flashing or printing than I was when I first started carrying. Most people don't see it, don't care, or won't say anything one way or the other.

 

[Skyjump136]

I have both and use both. In a perfect world I'd go OWB all the time, but the IWB is just so much easier to conceal. Plus the MTAC is fairly comfortable - I go IWB about 80% of the time.

+1 to those who said both. Much prefer OWB for comfort, however it just isn't as concealable, especially in the summer when cover garments are impractical.

 

[JamTins]

I use OWB exclusively. I use a pancake holster carried at the 4:30-5:00 position (obviously, I'm a righty) covered by an untucked polo/henley/t-shirt. I'm also a somewhat...er...robust* fellow, so my pants are big enough already.

IWB exclusively. Made a holster (based on a Crossbreed Supertuck but fits my M&P 357c with TLR-3 attached) Played around with the size of the leather backing and ended up making it a little larger than my crossbreed and it turned out very comfortable. Just this last week I drove from Florida to Pittsburgh and back, wearing it in the car the whole 17hours each way and I barely knew it was there....even with the light attached.

Either holster works for me .... It just depends on the scenario ..... but the OWB seems a little more comfy .... and a quicker draw ....
